My Pinebook Pro (delivered in August 2020) sometimes won't boot up:
I press the power on key, the screen stays black and the power light stays on orange. 
I have to press the power button for about 5 secs to power off the notebook and try again.
After a couple of tries it will boot normally.

In dmesg I found following Line:

I'm trying to root my PmOS PinePhone, but my password isn't working in sudo. I'd really appreciate it if someone at Pine64 could help me with a solution because no one else seems to have one. Thanks!

I got my Pinephone 3G Ram Model and can't get a mobile connection.
The Signal strength is always at 0.

The same SIM Card is working without problems on my old Braveheart edition.

I Tested multiple distros, some could read out the carrier name but all have 0 Signal.
Also factory test says "Not Registered" and signal strength of -90db.


Could my modem be broken?

Currently postmarketos is installed.
How to debug this?

Thank you.

I am a Linux user with my new Pinephone, want to finally move from a N900 to the Pine for everyday.
I have not had time in the weeks since my pine arrived to do much of anything.
I am assuming that postmarket will have the most developed and filled repos.
Is this like Maemo where we have testing unstable etc repos?
My meager searching has not turned up the deb lines for the /etc/apt/sources or whatever we will be using.
Sorry for noobing but have not had time to investigate and the wiki is sparse on this topic.

It was a single board computer, and a big deal around 2016 selling for about $100 USD. Two versions were made. A "desktop" one with HDMI, and a headless one acting as a server only.

The guy who started got tired of running the show, then went to work for the NSA to continue work on similar type of CPUs.

Later, as promised, SBC with 64 core CPU was released for open source, but never went into full production. Only a few of the 64 core CPUs/SBCs were manufactured to those who donated X amount to the original kick starter. I also believe design for a 1024 core  processor were also released.

The CPU plans are open source.

Here is a video he did a while back on it

I bring this up because a while back, he put out asking if someone wanted to take over the project. I am not even sure if anyone did.


Here is his blog post on it

Immediately after unlocking the phone I see the home screen then the screen fades to black but stays on.
The issue is similar, but not exactly the same as the issues in the following threads.

Is it possible to change a configuration file on the boot media after preparing it on my pc to completely disable screen dimming? I would quite like to try out Mobian, but this happens immediately on first boot.

Hi, got my PmOS phone today, it's working better than I expected, quite happy. but I want to switch back and forth between Phosh and Plasma. If I install postmarket-ui-plasma-mobile are there more steps to make that work? Are there extra steps to make it work as with an average distro on a laptop or pc, with a session menu at login? Or will installing that break something?

Thanks, happily posted from my PmOS CE phone

I have had my own pp for a while and tried all the distros except PMOS because i had ordered a PMOS version for my girlfriend, figuring i could test it when it arrived. 

Well, it arrived!
And.... I can't get it to reboot or shut down.
I don't want to pull out the battery because of the modem firmware corruption possibility. What do i do? 

As far as i can tell phosh prevents shutting down by holding power button, so shutting down through ui is only option.

Hello !

I've seen that there is the Pinebook Pro mainboard for sale as spare part. As it has the same SoC as RockPro64 but it has built-in wifi, I'm more interested in it than in RockPro64 board. So I wonder if PBP mainboard fits in any other boards case by chance ?

Thank you 

Hello !

I plan to buy a Rockpro64, but before I need to know if it will be compliant with USB 15" (or more) portable touchscreen monitors. But I absolutely don't know what I should pay attention to while chosing a monitor.

Do you know something about that ? Is compatibility device-specific, OS kernel-specific ?
Do you know some touchscreen monitors working fine with RockPro64's ?

Thank you !
