  What am I doing wrong with Geary ?
Posted by: wi_badger - 09-15-2020, 05:26 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I have been trying to get Geary going with various email accounts (gmail & yahoo) and no matter what I do, I get the message
"Account not created: Check your email address and password"
which are correct, I have tried repeatedly to no avail.

I have looked at forum posts here and not seen anything that seems relevant.  Geary seems to work for everyone else ?

Quite certain that I am doing something dumb, but just not seeing it, any advice ?


  Pinebook Pro won't post after hard reset
Posted by: i6Shot - 09-15-2020, 03:09 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (15)

Hello,

Just wondering if there is something I can do to get my Pinebook Pro booting again after a hard reset? The OS froze and wasn't usable so I hard reset it by holding the power button down. After doing so it won't boot now? The charging light is still lighting up when plugging in the charger but when I press the power button I get nothing.

Thanks,


  What are the actual supported framerate/resolution pairs for the PBP webcam?
Posted by: gleachkr - 09-15-2020, 09:47 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Here's something I'd like to know. What are the actual supported framerates/resolution pairs for the pinebook pro's webcam?

v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext gives

Code:
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
    Type: Video Capture

    [0]: 'YUYV' (YUYV 4:2:2)
        Size: Discrete 1280x720
            Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps)
        Size: Discrete 1600x1200
            Interval: Discrete 0.050s (20.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.067s (15.000 fps)
        Size: Discrete 640x480
            Interval: Discrete 0.050s (20.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.067s (15.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps)
        Size: Discrete 320x240
            Interval: Discrete 0.050s (20.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.067s (15.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps)
        Size: Discrete 800x600
            Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps)
            Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps)
which suggests that the camera is capable of a pretty good framerate at 1600x1200. But I haven't figured out how to actually achieve this frame rate at this resolution. The higher resolution seems to default to quite long exposures, which might have something to do with it, although setting absolute exposure manually affects brightness but doesn't seem to effect the "blur" effect that the long exposures create.

Testing with external webcams tentatively suggests that the bottleneck isn't the power of the pbp---you can get smooth 30fps playback of the video feed there, in the same output format (YU12-YU12, according to guvcview, although maybe there's some subtle thing here that I'm missing) that the pbp's camera produces.

Anyway I'm just very curious about 1. what the actual capacities of this camera are, and 2. whether we might hope to see better fps at high resolution in the future, with better driver support, or with the right software configuration.


  Arch and ZRam
Posted by: wd5gnr - 09-15-2020, 06:41 AM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (4)

From: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Imp...m_or_zswap


Quote:
The systemd-swap package provides a systemd-swap.service unit to automatically initialize zram devices. Configuration is possible in /etc/systemd/swap.conf.
The package zramswapAUR provides an automated script for setting up a swap with a higher priority and a default size of 20% of the RAM size of your system. To do this automatically on every boot, enable zramswap.service.

I installed zramswap and found that /etc/zramswap.conf actually sets 40% (the default is 20 if you don't set it there). However, it does seem like that has been a good performance boost, especially when running Vivaldi.


  Can we dualboot eMMC and SSD
Posted by: Madiator2011 - 09-15-2020, 04:03 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

Hi guys.
Recently I got my Pinebook Pro and M.2 adapter.
And here is my question is it possible to dual/triple boot?
Like Manjaro installed on eMMC, Kail Linux installed on SSD and SD Card for Elementry OS (or other distros for testing) .
As far I know Pinebook not have BIOS and bootorder is SD Card > eMMC > SSD
Would be happy to have something like GRUB so I could switch OS on power up Smile
Thank you

  No SMS on latest nightly
Posted by: firefox-58 - 09-15-2020, 03:13 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hi,

until the last 2 or 3 builds I cannot send and receive SMS. Calls are working.

Any ideas about this?


  App requests
Posted by: biketool - 09-15-2020, 02:53 AM - Forum: Maemo Leste on PinePhone - No Replies

Everyone here is also probably on maemo.org forums.
if we want a maremo app ported over is here or talk.maemo.org better?

I was just thinkng how much I use heySMS on my N900 and there is no android or apple app similar to bridge SMS via pidgin to my linux computer.


  Rockpro64 RAM issues
Posted by: sausal - 09-15-2020, 02:40 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (5)

Hi All,

What methods are you using to test memory? I have clear Debian install(not depends what distribution is used) and when the bigger size of memory is allocated with memtester and shows multiple failures.

The same not depending from power source 12v3A and 12v5A was tested:

Why I am testing is that Debian crashes during regular operations. Rsync is not usable including any other higher load tasks which finishes with random backtraces.


  Suddenly only 1/4 the RAM [1GB model shipped as 4GB]
Posted by: ejolson - 09-14-2020, 10:46 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (6)

Edit:  It turns out a 1GB model was shipped in the box labeled as 4GB, so that's why only 1/4 the memory was being detected, see the posts later in this thread.  I think it's too late for a replacement, but if anyone knows how to arrange this, I'd very much appreciate it.

I set up two identically configured Rock64 boards last month.  The first experienced segmentation faults while compiling with gcc as described in the thread

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11209

This was solved by slowing the memory clock from 786 MHz to 400 MHz.  The second worked well for a little under a month but is now booting with only 1GB out of the expected 4GB detected.

I swapped cards between the two machines.  The problem did not move with the cards but remained with the second Rock64 hardware.  I also reformatted two other SD cards and tried both the current and legacy builds of Armbian Debian server.  Note that I was running Armbian Focal Fossa before.  The newly formatted cards booted right up, but the memory remains at 1GB rather than 4GB.

Is it possible there was a defective solder join on the system?  Could the RAM itself have developed a fault?  Since the circuit boards have been safely mounted on standoffs away from any dangers for the entire time, I am surprised with my bad luck:  One didn't run reliably at the default clock speeds and the other just started to report only 1/4 of the expected RAM.

As already mentioned, lowering the clock speed on the first machine has stabilized it and I'm happy.  Does anyone know what to do to get my 4GB RAM back on the other?  Having only 1GB is unfit for purpose.
