I've noticed that gstreamer now supports cedrus, so I tried it and it looks like accelerated video decoding works:

So apps that use gstreamer should be able to use video decoding acceleration on Pinephone soon.   Distros just need to update to gstreamer 0.18 and try it.

Fresh install, nightly mobian-pinephone-20200915.img, After I set up all of the localizations, I then went to try and update using the software application, as soon as I "updates" tab, the software application crashes .

I know I can update via the terminal, but that may leave the system unstable.

Not sure how how to proceed?

I can only find one dac for the rock64, the one with an ethernet port included. First question is, what is the ethernet port for, since the rock64 already has one? I could understand if it was gigabit, but it is not. Second, just curious, are there any other dac boards?

Hi,

Up until today I have been using the nightly build with the latest updates as my daily driver which in heindsight, probably was not a good idea seeing as I am the kind of user who loves to tinker with absolutely zero knowledge to back it up.

After @"jed"  in his short but insightful comment "Yep" in my first thread asking how to make my new password change permanent, shared with me the https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=tweaks I have been running the terminal hot with codes adding sid repositories left and right, implementing zram, changing scale-to-fit settings, dark themes, wireguard, open-vpn etc. Shout-out to @RTP for creating the script Wipri https://github.com/righttoprivacy/wipri allowing me to easily randomize my mac adress on boot.

As for as my experience during all of this it has been a hell of a rollercoaster ride. Some of the issues I have encountered have been easy to fix such as not being able to send texts or view my inbox in Chatty, I had the wrong format selected in Region and Language. Others have been slightly harder like when my friend Carl sent me a MMS and I had to unclog my inbox and delete all messages, thanks buddy. And the most annoying has probably been trying to use firefox-esr with the no-script extension involving menus that wont dissapear, menus that never show up and ofcourse menus that dont respond.

What finally took me over the edge was when I had my SO call my phone and the "ringtone" was a constant vibration loud as hell with an accompanying sound seemingly played by a mouse with stagefright. Thus, I have now decided to stop my nightly adventures and move myself to the stable version of 20200905 because I just want a phone that more or less works while not having to worry about my own "coding skills" making a huge mess which is why I am not going to touch anything out of the box.

I have a question in regards to the updates of the stable build. After flashing it to my eMMC and doing an apt update, I see that I have exactly 80 packages that can be upgraded. Now, if I update all of them where will that take me exactly? Because if it is anywhere near the Nightly build I dont have the courage yet to go back in. Should I just not update at all until the next stable version is out or how exactly can I best try to enjoy mobian as a daily driver with low to no tinkering and high stability?

Thanks to all of you for being such a welcoming community even to people like me who have no clue what I am doing and then come here to complain about the software issues lol. You are the best.

Hi Folks,

I tried to order a Manjaro CE today and it says that no shipment method is available to my country (Sri Lanka). There was no any other item in the cart besides the Pinephone. Does DHL not ship worldwide? Really appreciate if there is a way for me to order one.

Thanks.

Dear community,

I am currently trying to debug the modem after having issues with transmitting and (sometimes) receiving SMS on 4G (and sometimes on 3G and 2G as well).
Whenever I send a SMS I get a "timeout" and it is not related to the OS.

I also tried to send an SMS with different options using mmcli - the issue is that mmcli wasn't able to find the sms once I created it. This seem odd to me. Maybe someone can explain me or help me out with that problem.
