  Signal on PostmarketOS
Posted by: GloriousCoffee - 08-04-2020, 03:23 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (8)

Hi


I've looked around, but can't really find anything on it.
Is it possible to get Signal to work on PostmarketOS currently? Looked around, but can't find anything on it really.


  USB-C hw mod tested
Posted by: Dmytro - 08-04-2020, 03:20 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

Feeling megi proximity I have got enough bravery to follow instructions to test OTG on PinePhone v1.2 (hw mod).
I have to say it WORKS!!! Big Grin

  • The longest part was to unscrew cca 15 little screws. Wink
  • Remove (unsolder) faulty pieces.
  • Put Ondřej's prebaked kernel with modules and u-boot config.
  • Put frimware and init it.
Voilà! USB-hub and mini-keyboard are working right away. Smile
As I didn't find any third party confirmation about proposed sequence is complete and correct, I here by confirm it works.
@Luke you may count Prague is covered. Wink
Note: with Ondřej's kernel I observe minor side effects at least with SXMO: battery driver reporting behavior changed, some scripts/programs with hardcoded ttySn got confused, USB-net doesn't start on boot.


  How to compile the kernel?
Posted by: Boern - 08-04-2020, 12:24 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi all!

To debug [url=https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10791]my problems[/url] I wanted to compile my own kernel to see if I can find out what triggers it. But my kernel doesn't boot at all. When I turn on the phone with my custom kernel installed the green LED is just permanently on and nothing else happens. Here's how I compiled the kernel (tried cross compiling, but also compiled it on the phone itself):

Code:
git clone https://gitlab.com/mobian1/devices/pinephone-linux.git
cd pinephone-linux
cp /proc/config.gz .
gunzip config.gz
mv config .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig # Set it to append -pinephone to the version string
make -j `nproc` bindeb-pkg
sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image-5.7.0-pinephone-g9853915bff28_5.7.0-pinephone-g9853915bff28-1_arm64.deb


Information [Development Release] Fedora 32/CentOS 8 Pinebook Pro Images
Posted by: wideawake - 08-03-2020, 03:06 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (12)

After my recent posts on various social media platforms there was interested showed in test driving some of the images I have been working on. I have now decided that I have roughed out enough of an image to make available to the public. I plan on building and deploying a custom repo with my RPMs I have built with various Pinebook Pro related fixes and tweaks in the near future. Install and expand the partition as usual.

Note: This is an early `pre-release` if you will. INSTALL TO SD ONLY. I only have a ANSI based Pinebook Pro so that is the only device this has been tested on.

Fedora 32 Workstation:
MD5 Checksum: 5b39417f1c24716c822834c80ad59b5f
Download Link

CentOS 8 Server with GUI:
MD5 Checksum: ce1da2f8355e31217dacd72f2baf702c
Download Link

Known Issues:
CentOS: Screen brightness function key not working, works in Fedora  :?
Fedora: Shutdown PackageKit Daemon takes 1.5mins, thought I fixed this...
Fine One? Report It!

To Do:
Fix kernel packing to more closely resemble Fedora/CentOS Official RPMs
Fix Plymouth boot screen?

Please if you find any bugs, tweaks, have comments, or suggestions feel free to drop them here!
-Mike


  Unsure how to install, help needed
Posted by: GloriousCoffee - 08-03-2020, 10:18 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (8)

Hi

Just got my PinePhone in the mail, looks lovely!
Wanted to try PostmarketOS and have a microSD I want to install to. Ran the pmbootstrap process but it ended with:


New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
[18:17:38] NOTE: No valid keymap specified for device
[18:17:42] *** (3/5) PREPARE INSTALL BLOCKDEVICE ***
[18:17:42] ERROR: /dev/sdc1 is mounted! Will not attempt to format this!
[18:17:42] See also: <https://postmarketos.org/troubleshooting>
Run 'pmbootstrap log' for details.


If I unmount the device, I just get:
[18:18:25] ERROR: /dev/sdc1 doesn't exist, is the sdcard plugged?
[18:18:25] See also: <https://postmarketos.org/troubleshooting>
Run 'pmbootstrap log' for details.


I'm unsure what the problem is.
Do I need to format the SD in any particular kind of way?


  Graphics issue on ubuntu bionic
Posted by: das - 08-03-2020, 09:39 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I received my pbp a few weeks back and was generally happy to get it.
It arrived with Manjaro ARM plasma, but due to missing 32-bit support and therefore inability to use widevine, I decided to flash ayufan-rock64 bionic-mate 0.9.16-1163-armhf image to the eMMC module.

I did so using the usb-to-eMMC adapter and 

Code:
dd if=bionic-mate-pinebookpro-0.9.16-1163-armhf.img of=/dev/sdc

Afterwards the graphics was glitched, shown on the picture. Which I thought was due to a loose connection. But after flashing the Manjaro ARM image using the same dd command, the graphics was fine.

Any ideas to as to why this would happen?


  Xwayland on Phosh works?
Posted by: paju1986 - 08-03-2020, 06:11 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I have tried to install several applications that I know doesn't work on wayland, but i was hopping they could work with xwayland on phosh but i dont know if even phosh has xwayland implemented or something else have to be installed.

So far no luck running those applications.
Can someone give some light about this?

Regads!


  PCB version
Posted by: bcnaz - 08-03-2020, 04:10 AM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - No Replies

Since the main board is similar to the Pine phone,  then hopefully the newest PineTab ships
       with the version 1.2a  or later main board   ?

Is there any indication which main board it actually ships with ?

Thanks


  How to Set Up For Mobian Development?
Posted by: Hiraghm - 08-03-2020, 12:30 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (7)

I've got the Aarch64 toolchain installed on my desktop Linux Mint computer, and have even compiled "hello world" that runs on my phone.
I've tried setting up development on the phone itself using Code::Blocks.

But in order to develop my own software, and also to port existing software to the phone, I'm going to need some way to link libraries such as GTK and libGL.

Has anybody set up a cross-development system for Mobian on the pine phone, and/or gotten a useful development system working ON the pine phone?

If so, could you share some information on how you managed it? Undecided

Thanks.
