  Zotero on PBP?
Posted by: bookguy1 - 08-19-2020, 08:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Does anybody in this forum use Zotero too?

I have been using Zotero on my PBP with 'zotero-arm-bin' package from AUR, but the recent kernel update broke the software.

I am not exactly familiar enough with Linux to change the contents of the package. I would appreciate any help about this issue.

When I try to start the program, I get the following error message.

-----
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/zotero/libxul.so:
libstartup-notification-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

  touch screen panel question
Posted by: diggledorf - 08-19-2020, 04:08 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Hello all, didn't see a forum for this product, sorry if this is the wrong place.

I saw the 7" touch screen panel on the site here:
https://store.pine64.org/product/7-lcd-t...een-panel/

I recently installed a samsung tablet in the dashboard of my car but in the heat it would go into thermal shutdown mode, and the glass eventually got so hot that the glue melted and the button slid back inside the case.

Is this LCD a glass surface like a 'standard' tablet or is it something else? I'd like to use it with a RockPro64 in the dash of my car with Android if possible.

One additional question, the description says:
Note: Only stock Android OS build for this LCD panel available for ROCKPro64 board.

Verifying that this is saying this panel will only function with the ROCKPro64 with a stock Android OS? If so, which ones? If anyone has any advice for what LCD touchscreen to get I'd love to hear your advice.

Thank you very much in advance!

Results: mobian/2020-08-19

Conclusion: This OS is coming along nicely. Looking at the results I will be following up with the tester to ensure that camera functionality is effective. This at the moment is the closest candidate to making the pinephone a daily driver. (out of our testing group)

Notes: Speakerphone was awful, tons of feedback. Mic was a touch sensitive during calls. Calls were clear otherwise.

(Using AT&T sim).

Soon to begin testing data and hotspot.

Results: ubports/2020-08-19

Build number: Dev-157
Conclusion: This build has been no bueno.  Move along.

Notes:
This guy has been a problem since startup. Not a clue what is going on. Texts stopped working, SMS stopped working. Calls stopped working. I'm going to image my device with a fresh build and execute the tests again. But ultimately not impressed with this build. Camera works ok though.

Today I am also going to begin testing against boost mobile as well as t-mobile. (both US)  I will note any discrepancies in the results. 

Is anyone else experiencing issues with this build?


  Watch out for your system clock , when upgrading.
Posted by: bingo600 - 08-19-2020, 12:27 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Watch out for your system clock , when upgrading.
Somehow (on my PP CE edition) it FSCK's up and TimeWarps to year 2115 , happpend 3 times now.

If the sysclock is that much wrong , then the repos used has expired , and gives an error.

*** Update fails

root@mobian:~# apt update

Why doesn't the OS do a hwclock -s , during boot ??


/Bingo


Well a dist-upgrade , just installed this one :
Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main arm64 systemd-timesyncd arm64 246.1-1 [124 kB]

Will that solve the TimeWarp ? , or just keep the clock sync'ed like NTP ?

  Problems with my RockPro64
Posted by: tuxd3v - 08-19-2020, 11:47 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

Hello guys,
I noticed yesterday night, that my RockPRo64 was not running..

I discovered that the board was very high temperature around the red ellipse in the picture bellow..
https://paste.pics/7e66971884c4b53ee63160a9dc4c9995

it extended till the lcd header connectors close to the ellipse, it was so high that I made a burn in my finger..
I disconnected the power supply from the board..
I already checked power supply voltage seems ok, but again without load( 12.3volts )..

Those components were heating up maybe because there are a short circuit somewhere in the board.. after that ellipse maybe..

I wanted to know what reference those component's are in the Datasheet diagram, so that I can look at them and see what I can do.

Can Anyone help me?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Best Regards
tux


  Syncwire charger
Posted by: dieselnutjob - 08-19-2020, 11:09 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I bought one of these on Amazon
https://www.syncwire.com/collections/wal...ll-charger

it has two output ports, each of which can deliver 3 amps.

and also this H barrel cable
https://store.pine64.org/product/2-meter...wer-cable/

The reasons that I bought this:-

Despite being an ISO PBP they sent me a US charger with it.
The Syncwire one comes with USA, UK and Euro pins.
As it has two ports I can charge a phone and the PBP from one device and one power socket which is useful for travelling.  The PBP is basically becoming my default travel laptop due to it's slimness and light weight.
It's also useful for powering a Raspberry Pi.

It seems to work well.


  RockPro64 SSD Expansion Board/SATA Shield

I know these exist for RPi4 but is there a dual SSD expansion board for the RP64 with SATA shield to mount the board to?


  Mobian and WiFi
Posted by: astrogenealogist - 08-19-2020, 08:12 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi - I am a very new owner of a pinephone and have been trying Mobian.  I have not installed a sim card and I am running Mobian from an SD.  I can connect to home WiFi and the UI is easy to understand and use.  My trouble is that apps seem not to be able to use the WiFi.  For example neither browser can connect to any website and Geary can not connect to email servers.  It seems as if there is some setting that I am missing or that a sim card is required.I have checked the Mobian gitlab issues and have found nothing. Any insight? Regards and thanks.


  Keyboard or driver errors - transpositions & multiple chars
Posted by: marawuti - 08-18-2020, 10:29 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Received new PBP first week of May. I am now having what appears to be keyboard logic failures.
These include what appears to be some key transpositions and several keys that emit multiple characters - always the same.

Is there some format for providing the specifics which is pseudo standardized or at least that multiple folks could understand?

Also, I didn't expect to see this kind of what appears to be H/W or driver flaws so I didn't pay much attention to how to obtain support for this kind of thing.
