  Post market os camera
Posted by: makeymake - 09-14-2020, 07:24 PM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Are the camera's working? I cannot seem to get them to work.
I tried looking at this link: 

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE6...pinephone) 

But here are my results.

```

  trouble with installing emacs
Posted by: Corey_R - 09-14-2020, 07:10 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

i just got my pinebook pro today and i am struggling to install emacs. i used the command sudo pacman -S emacs. but i continually get an error that it has not installed or updated any packages. is there a different way to do this? i am fairly new to manjaro. i mostly have used unbuntu in the past.


  Blank display on boot
Posted by: kwyjibot - 09-14-2020, 06:59 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (5)

I received my pinetab last week and was enjoying it immensely.  On the second or third night I left it charging, and when I came back to it, the backlight will come on but the display no longer works.

I was running mobian on microSD, removed and rebooted (held power down more then the recommended 10s) but I still get no display beyond the backlight, not even a splash screen on boot).  I've tried using the miniHDMI but get no display on a known good monitor either.  I booted off the latest pinetime jumpdrive image and can access it over microUSB, but I'm concerned I no longer have a working display.

Has anyone seen something similar or can suggest any troubleshooting?


  Wifi on Manjaro
Posted by: User 19517 - 09-14-2020, 06:53 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

Hi guys, new RockPro64 user here. I love my board and have been using it with Manjaro for some time. Yesterday I finally got the WiFi/BT module but so far I only managed to get the Bluetooth working. I know there are some issues when it comes to something called SDIO and PCIe bus, conflicts and stuff and that’s why the WiFi has been intentionally disabled in manjaro. (It works perfectly in Debian but I like manjaro better and also pacman is the boss). Do you happen to know how to make this work or if there are any planned updates to make this WiFi board available? The last thing I found about this being mentioned dates back to 2018.
I have been told to use a USB stick but I don’t know what to buy and honestly I’d rather get this board working. Thanks a lot.


  Incorrect keyboard behavior for X11 apps (like Java)
Posted by: Saliency - 09-14-2020, 05:14 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

When I run Java-based apps or apps other frameworks under Phosh/Xwayland, the keyboard input doesn't work as expected.  For example, in a Java JTextField, the backspace key generates an "=" symbol, and many keys do nothing or result in punctuation marks.

Does anyone know what the problem is, and how to solve it?


  Pinebook Pro with 2GB RAM
Posted by: gos007 - 09-14-2020, 02:59 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Unfortunately, I received my Pinebook Pro with only 2 GB of RAM. So far, I haven't looked at whether there's a 2 GB chip or 4 GB because it's under a shield. Anyone else with a similar problem? Won't there be a need to set something up via the serial console? Or will a new mainboard be needed?


  Reboot, and halt and boot, are not the same
Posted by: regivanx - 09-14-2020, 02:20 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Hello,

My PBP doesn't reboot: the screen are black with gray vertical lines on the left.

But it can halt and boot: so the system boot normaly.

Why?

I have two partitions, a boot partition, and an encrypted partition: would it try to boot from the encrypted partition? In this case, why does it make the error only on reboot?

  MAC address change
Posted by: user0258 - 09-14-2020, 01:18 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hi all, I have a advanced question that might challenge some of you.

How would you go about changing the default wireless mac address? permanently .. not spoofing either!
why you ask? well why not Smile


  ssh not enabled, by default?
Posted by: RodMyers - 09-14-2020, 11:40 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Did a fresh install of mobian. Trying to ssh into the phone.

following the wiki -> https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...f-password <- it seems that the ssh_server is not installed and running.

From within the phone & gui , I do not see anything to do with the ability to log into the phone.

What program(s) need to be installed to be able to ssh into the phone?

thanks
