I'm wondering why this is. My suspicion is that it's tied to whether or not the app is looking for wayland vs x, but I don't know. any ideas or help?

I was quite surprised to find Truecrypt available on the Pinebook Pro Manjaro build, and pleased because I still use it on Windows and Intel Linux.

I would also like to use it on the mrFixIt debian build with 32 bit ARM userland.

Anyone know if it's available?  or where I can get the source code from?  I suppose as it's in the Manjaro build the source code must be available.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a component based market for custom PC building based around ARM?

Perhaps Pine64 could help this goal by releasing a n mATX motherboard with RAM slots, multiple SATA ports, etc

Some ARM based motherboards do exist but they all have integrated SOCs. I don't know how we can get to the point where there is a socket standard for the chips and you can just buy something to suit your budget and slot it into the motherboard.

I guess if the socket idea is too far, would be good to see Pine64 develop a multi-core power computing integrated motherboard that could work as a desktop replacement.

Would be interested to hear people's thoughts around this idea

Hello all, my husband mentioned this phone as an alternative to Android.  I am curious as to the root/adminstration capabilities as well as encryption.  I read the information on the hardware specs, but didn't see anything about the software abilities.  Any links to said information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

The pinned guide says to go to updates > update settings, but when I do that, all I see is Auto download and Reinstall all apps. I just updated everything and restarted. Has the process changed?

I'm really impressed with what the team pulled off here (Just received my CE PP).

Hardware wise it looks fantastic. Software will catchup I'm sure!

Took a long time to get it but I probably picked a cheaper shipping option or something.

It's totally the best "nerd gear" I've gotten to put my hands on in years. Thank you so much for doing this!

Hi

I installed ssh and samba and they work fine. No problems to communicate with the phone.

However, to be able to connect via ssh or samba, the screen has to be on. If phone is left unattended, screens turn black and communication stops.

is phone sleeping when the screen turns black? I checked in Power settings, and the Black screen can be modified. This should only save energy for the screen but not sleep the phone, or does it?

ok, so i downloaded kali linux for pinebook pro and it works very good. except the problem that my mouse buttons switched. i tried to change it at the
settings but it didn't worked.. do you know why?
