| Arch, Plasma desktop and wayland |

Hey pals,
I somehow got plasma-desktop on wayland with arch running and some people asked for a write-up so here we go. Please consider that this is all work in progress and that performance might not be best, especially if you run from sd card. Also you should not mindlessly copy paste commands from the internet, but you know that, don't you? 
With that said, let's rock on.
First of all get an image for arch https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...h/releases
Get the barebone-image with your favourite tool on a SD card and put it in your tab.
You'll be greeted by a screen that is rotated by 90° because that's the default orientation for the panel as I heard. Login with the provided creds. You can connect to a WLAN with the tool nmtui. After that I recommend turning on ssh and doing most of it over ssh as that simplifies quite a lot with copy pasting and so on.
The command is
Code: sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
If you want to turn off ssh at some point or after you're done with the config
Code: sudo systemctl disable sshd
sudo systemctl stop sshd
Let's get the groundwork for plasma done. This may take some time, because a lot of packages are installed. I did not test a minimal build yet.
Code: sudo pacman -S fakeroot git make gcc go binutils qt5-svg knotifications kdbusaddons kservice kcmutils purpose cmake breeze breeze-icons plasma-framework sddm qt5-wayland plasma-wayland-session plasma-meta qt5-virtualkeyboard iio-sensor-proxy sddm-kcm
Code: sudo systemctl enable sddm
Code: sudo mkdir /etc/sddm.conf.d/
sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf
Code: [Autologin]
User=alarm
Session=plasmawayland.desktop
Plasma does have some issues still. Your display is still rotated and it doesn't rotate automatically like you want to. Go to systemsettings -> Display and Monitor -> Display Configuration and unmark the "Only when in table mode." after an apply you're able to rotate the table as you like.
Something that helped me too was to activate tap-to click under input devices-> touchpad.
If you're familiar with arch you may have noticed that you installed stuff for compilation too. That is because I wanted to use the plasma mobile apps and some of them are on AUR and can therefore be compiled.
As an example the plasma browser angelfish
Code: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/plasma-angelfish.git
cd plasma-angelfish/
nano PKGBUILD
Obviously this takes some time but afterwards the package is installed.

Graphical Glitch in Settings |

New PineBook Pro user. First post. Happy so far.
I've noticed a strange graphical glitch, and I've searched the forums and elsewhere for tips with no luck.
In the setting dialog, there's an odd pixelated highlight around the current and under-mouse theme options, as well as a pop-up over, that appears to be a faulty animation or transparency.
Link to Screenshot
Any tips on what this is and how to make it go away?

I am using Mobian and some users over at Discord chat were able to get the trackpad working for me and I am thrilled!. I am wondering if I am having a settings issue that aren’t allowing me to use any of the keys on the keyboard. I know some users had an easier time and if you can share settings maybe that can help. I would be thankful for any help.

| Mobian on SD Card or Flashed To eMMC For Better Functionality . . . |

Hello,
I have the PMOS edition and feel somewhat loyal to them, bc their name and logo is on the back of my phone. The problem is I find myself playing with Mobian 90% of the time. When I make calls, Mobian booted from an SD, people say they can hear me but not that clear. I'm curious would a difference be made if I were to flash Mobian directly onto the phone and not use it through the SD Card ? Or does it really not matter the phone will behave as it does either way.

| Use the PinePhone as a Linux mini PC? |

I was checking Windows and Liunx mini PCs, and I ended up with the PinePhone as the most interesting device for this. It has a small form factor and is affordable. Although it is not designed for this purpose, is it not possible to modify it for this purpose?
I m facing the problem for a mobile EEG device. EEG sensor streaming over Bluetooth can only stream ca 4 channels at a high quality level due to bandwidth limitations of Bluetooth. Wifi streaming costs a lot of energy, and is not so interesting for mobile use. Better is a cable connection. But then the cable distance has to be kept short, to avoid too much cabling. Assuming an EEG device with 32 channels. This gives 32 cables.
The development of EEG devices for mobile use is not very advanced. There is no convincing solution yet. Any ideas?

Rarely used and in perfect condition.
I sell it because in the end I made myself a new desktop and I now use the laptop I was using as desktop as laptop and my kids cannot use it because of the QWERTY keyboard :-(
I am in Belgium but can ship everywhere in Europe, at receiver risk.
Make a fair offer.
