Dear All,

I'm a noob to all this.  I got my PinePhone convergence edition (3GB/32GB) a week or so ago and I'm running Manjaro Phosh.  I've tried everything I know how to actually open a note in Gnote, but nothing seems to work.  It lists the notes fine, but no combination of short tap, long press, swipe up, swipe down, swipe left or swipe right will actually open the bloomin' thing!  Any advice very welcome.

Hello All,

I've recently become interested in radar-detector-detectors, they are devices that can be used to detect if a radar detector is being used to check for speed traps. I know they work by detecting local oscillator leakage from the radar detector and I want to see if that is possible for WiFi modules. That capability could be really useful for hardware cybersecurity efforts.

I've read the data sheet of the RL-SM02BD that is on here and it did not explicitly say what the chip uses for the LO its RF front end. Before I start going crazy with the VNA I wanted to ask if anyone here has more insight into this chip's operation? I don't know all that much about it.

There is a problem with boincmgr from the newest boinc package (7.16.9), it's impossible to add projects.
The solutions are:
- wait for update,
- use another boincmgr over network,
- downgrade boinc package.
In Arch Linux there is a way to downgrade a package installing a package (from cache or from Arch Linux Archive a.k.a ALA) and blocking its version in /etc/pacman.conf using IgnorePkg definition.
You can do it manually or using 'downgrade' script from AUR. The catch (on Manjaro ARM) is the downgrade script uses default ALA url (https://archive.archlinux.org/) and unless you have older versions of boinc in your cache, it fails to downgrade boinc package.
ARM packages are archived here: http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/
To downgrade boinc manually you have to:
1. Go to '/aarm/packages/b/boinc/' http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/packages/b/boinc/
2. Download tar.xz and tar.xz.sig files with older version of boinc (e.g. 7.16.7)
http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/packages...pkg.tar.xz
http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/packages...tar.xz.sig
3. Verify package with 'pacman-key --verify'

When I started using mobian, the keyboard response (local and via sssh) was ok.

Now, after a few days of upgrades from SID, it has become very sluggish. On ssh (when system is idling) it may take a few seconds from a key-press until it gets displayed.

htop on ssh shows an avg. load of 3-7% (including htop itself) and nothing suspicious.

Do others have the same problem?
What can be done?

When I start Firefox ESR (any distribution) it creates more than 20 (!) threads and all the tasks become sluggish.

Is there a simple solution to prevent this insane high number of threads and what would be optimal?

Hi. I'm using Manjaro on PineBook Pro and I'm trying to install XMonad.

There is no official package for this WM,  and packages from aur cannot be built (Haskell infrastructure for aarch64 in Manjaro seems broken at all).

I installed GHC and Cabal from Nix repository. I even had successfully built XMonad once, but it failed to recompile itself after an update.

I can now build XMonad binary using GHC from Nix, but it won't start because of different versions of glibc in the system and in the nix environment.

Have anyone a success in running XMonad in Arch? If so, what toolchain you used?

I am trying to get Vanilla Debian up and running on the H64B.

I have build Arm-Trusted-Firmware and U-Boot from git/source and got the u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin file which I copied with "sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=8" to my eMMC-Module.

My fstab is as below, with /boot flagged as bootable by fdisk.

/dev/mmcblk1p1    /boot    ext2    defaults    0    2
/dev/mmcblk1p2    /           ext4    errors=remount-ro    0    1
/dev/mmcblk1p3    swap   swap    defaults    0    0

Then powered up the H64B only shows that he has loaded u-boot and then stops/hangs and does not carry on to load Linux from /boot.

Am I missing something ???
Any adivce would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, guys, has anyone successfully launched libgdx sdk? I just wanted to try to do a bit of game development, but it just fails with
"wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"
I reckon the reason is 64 and 32 bit compatibility but i am not sure how to fix that. If anyone had encountered similar issue before please tell if is even possible to solve it.
Feel free to ask for any additional information

Hi,
Would it be possible to upgrade from the pinebook Ubuntu 20.04 image to 20.10 beta? Does anyone run Ubuntu currently? Does the Ubuntu os work fine on pinebook?

Hello!


I am a middle of the road hacker and I am comfortable with early release hardware and software. However I can not solder, especially anything small - I lack the dexterity (even with a microscope)

I like to play with a PinePhone. To have Mobian running with the option, using a UBC-C cable/Hub to have HDMI output when needed.

Concerned if I purchase today, my lack of soldering skills is an issue. Is pinephone purchase today 1.2a+ with this issue fixed ?

Thanks,
Brendan
