  Ringtones and alert sounds stopped working
Posted by: LMalilil - 09-15-2020, 10:52 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Not sure what happened. Possibly one of the most recent OS updates but I have lost all my sound for alerts and notifications. Even when I click on the sounds in their profile folder nothing plays over the speaker. Don’t know where to start with troubleshooting this issue


  I have not received a shipping number

Hello,
I ordered a ROCKPRO64 WITH ACCESORIES,  on  August 19, 2020, Order #147700. I have not received a shipping number. Wondering what’s happening with my order, thanks.


  Battery life experiences?
Posted by: pjsf - 09-15-2020, 07:23 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (6)

Might be of interest to some people so:
Mobian - incredible, I went away for a day and a half with mobian left sleeping from full charge (but not plugged in), when I came back (about 38 hours later) it was on 73%! it seems to have been a real 73 percent as I used it for two more hours (including video tests) and in the morning it still had around 26%. 
UBPorts - not so great, just left it switched on (sleeping but not charging ) from at least 60% and it was empty by the morning.
Arch with plasma - unusual, didn't do any timings because plasma works like a desktop, so you put it into sleep mode manually, I imagine it would be rather  like manjaro on the pbp, will try an overnight test soon.

This may not be an issue with UBPorts - I may have rebooted Mobian between testing video and putting it to sleep, I've noticed that sometimes UBPorts seems to "stay awake" after heavy usage. i.e. slow discharge curve to start with steep while using youtube, then it stays steep afterwards while "switched off". I'll test to see if this happens on mobian when It's had a full recharge.


  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

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

Hi,

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

Any ideas about this?
