Below is a link listed from the Mobian wiki that should take screenshots once the "required packages are installed" my issue is it says notify-send isn't installed but when I use "sudo apt install bash libglib2.0-bin" as per the notify-send GitHub page, it says everything is installed. Has anyone tried this and had success? I'm at work right now or else I would dig a bit deeper.

Hello,

Is there any way to reset postmarket os to factory specifications, like in android and start the installation process all over again?

Thanks.

On Android I use SMS Backup, there is the same thing on Linux/PostmarketOS?
Or just local backups in a json, xml or other format?

Greetings from a PinePhone newbie. This is posted from my newly arrived PinePhone PmOS Convergence Edition. Yeah!

Just got it and played with it for a short while. PmOS installation went smoothly. The USB dongle was connected. I have not figured out how to get the HDMI out as it did not work out of the box for me. My Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse worked flawlessly. PD from the dongle works.

Hello,

My PostmarketOS edition Pinephone arrived today and I was elated to have it up and running, I followed the instructions and successfully booted into the lockscreen with what looked to be a password bar, I enter in my Password and I get "incorrect passphrase", forgive me if this is a stupid question, but wouldn't passphrase be the same password I chose during setup? Or is it due to some kind of basic boot password like "147147" (which didn't work either). Thank you for your time!


to clarify, I do have encryption enabled but SSH is disabled.

Hello,
I received my postmarket os today. I went through the installation process. After postmarket os was installed I entered the password, but the os doesn't boot. I see only a flashing cursor. (when the isntallation was finished I entered the encryption password rather than the numerical password. Can this be the problem?)
I hard rebooted the device several times. After reboot the login page comes up. I enter the password, then the massages says, postmarket os is loading then I get the flashing cursor.

I have no idea what to do next.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just unboxed my postmarket phone. Very nice install script. Allowed me to enable ssh immediately. Working through setup was easy. I may begin testing this device against Verizon soon.

I recently purchased a clusterboard and 7 compute modules. One of the 7 never retrieves an IP from my DHCP server.

Here's been my process thus far:

1. Download Arbian 20.08 Buster 5.7.15 (Pine64so version) and unxz the archive.
   
2. Mount the image, use dtc and vim to make the necessary modification to the device tree image for networking to work.
   
3. Copy the image to a microSD card with dd. (All cards are new and tested with f3. Class A1 cards were selected per the documentation.)
   
4. Insert the card in a compute module, insert module into first slot on clusterboard, connect cables.
   
5. Wait for my DHCP server to assign a lease.
   
6. Create a static IP assignment for the MAC address from the DHCP lease.
   
7. SSH to module and complete first login steps (root password, locale, user creation)
   
8. Issue shutdown, power off the board, and remove the module.
   
9. Repeat 3-8 successfully for five of the six other compute modules.
   

• Waiting a very long time (more than 40 minutes; others took less than 5)
  
• Reseating the module
  
• Reseating the microSD card
  
• Re-imaging the microSD card
  
• Using a microSD card verified to be working in one of the other modules
  
• An nmap scan of my local network (which turned up nothing unexpected)
  

• Serial Console debugging. I did not buy one.
  

those of us who previously purchased the PinePhone have been waiting expectantly to be able to purchase the USB-C Dongle that shipped with the latest community edition.

in the latest blog, devs announced yet another community edition, but we are still unable to purchase the USB-C Dongle. as of today there is still no option on the Pine64 store. do we need to purchase an entirely new phone to be able to receive it?

further, a couple months ago we were told we would be able to purchase different branded phone backs. I would love to purchase the Manjaro edition back, as I'm using Manjaro on my Pinephone 24/7, but there's no option to independently purchase them at all.

I don't mind that only a month after receiving my device a twice as good device came out. That device (or what ever revision there is) will likely just be my next purchase in the future when I feel the itch to "upgrade" again. I can still enjoy my current device. what I do mind is that we were promised we wouldn't be forgotten, but it seems as though we are.

Good morning

First of all sorry if this has been answered but all my searches on the forum related to the rock64 or pinebook, found noting for the A64-LTS

Recently i've got a Pine A64-LTS board and tried to perform a standard Debian install following the instructions on the wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebian...64/PINEA64

I've tried now with all the .dtb files for pine devices, sun50i-a64-pine64-lts.dtb, sun50i-a64-sopine-baseboard.dtb ... the board still looks dead, no HDMI output.

Any clue can I be doing wrong?. A64-LTS does work with standard Debian right?

I've succesfully booted the board with armbian, so it isn't dead, but really need to perform a Debian standard install...

Thanks in advance for the answers and sorry for the "engrish"
