Hey! Geary isn't working for me when I want to connect to gmail(says there's no network connection), so I'm trying to use epiphany and a webapp. It's not going well, mostly because it's loading a desktop version of the page. Is there a way to install a useragent plugin that would indicate to google to load a mobile version of the gmail page?

I decided it would be good to have some kind of case, and naturally there are none sleeves on the market that are bespoke for the PBP.

So I looked around and decided to take the gamble with a case for the MacBook Air 2017 13.3" based on the dimensions.

It fits well enough as you can see from the photos.

It's a sleeve that leaves the ports available on both sides, the corners of the screen just fit enough to not come out, so it works fine.
On the bottom side it has loads of holes for the exhaust of the MacBook I presume, but for the PBP that's not required.

So now I can just drop my PBP in my backpack without worrying.

I also got a couple of USB to 3.5mm barrel cables to charge, important is to get the type with the correct inner diameter for the barrel port, I've seen different sizes posted. Also, not all USB chargers supply the maximum current.

Hi everyone,

Just made an account here to ask this question.

I've been looking into making a Plex server on a SBC for a long-time now and I recently found the RockPro64. It seems to be the perfect entry level Plex server, but I've also been reading about a lack of dev support for this device compared to the R-Pi. I am somewhat proficient in Windows (read as "I need a GUI" or "I can double click .exe shortcuts and start wizards with the best of them!"), but I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to Linux. I haven't used Linux in years and even then I was clueless. In terms of choices for OS, there are several (https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCKPr...ng_Started), but from what I read in a year old thread, I'm going to have to use Armbian (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9310-rk3...-renegade/) to enable hardware acceleration.

That can't be right, can it?

My long-term goal is to have 3 RockPros that can stream Plex. I want to continue using GDrive for file hosting, and I plan on using rClone to mount GDrive to an SSD, mount the SSD on a RockPro64, install Plex, point it to the GDrive directory. Repeat 2 more times and give myself and 2 others a nice Christmas present with personalized streaming and an easy way of refreshing content across multiple different home networks (read 30 Mbps down, shitty upload speed).

Maybe I'll make a VPN down the line and use it to remotely access my streaming setup. Maybe.

Thoughts?

I just bought one of these for my Pinebook Pro
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-La...B00CD8AFFW
it's not exactly tight, maybe just 10mm bigger than necessary on height and width, but equally if wanted to throw the power supply in there I think it would fit (with a bulge of course).
It would have been better if it had a pocket on the outside for stuff, but I think it's alright.
Maybe others have found better ones?

Maybe a stupid question:

How to regularly reboot plasma-mobile ?

NOT pressing 5 seconds power key and rest hard.....

Maybe someone can help me out. I understand that the PineTab is a low cost device and thus expectations have to be modest. I tried to get an idea of the possible real-life cpu power/"user experience" to expect from the PineTab and therefore I looked up benchmarks at cpubenchmark.net:
 
-Allwinner A64 (running linux?)
Passmark 2000 to 2800 and CPUMark 35000 
-My iPhone 6s (running iOS)
Passmark 11000 and CPUMark 11000
-An awful ODYS 2 in1 tablet (running Win 8.1) with Intel® Atom™ x5-Z8300
Passmark? CPUMark 800

We are definitely comparing apples to oranges here. But for me it looks as if the cpu power may be from 1/4 as fast to three times as fast as my iPhone. Slower than the iPhone may be a problem even for a very modest desktop system. On the other hand, it should be better than the ODYS which is barely usable with Win 8.

I am aware of the problems comparing "user experience", but maybe someone with more technical knowledge may shed light on this.
Kind regards

Trying to use the pinebook pro for writing python code. But there seems to be no package for the standard python debugger: pdb.
I installed `pydb`  but that was only python 2.7.

Is the standard python debugger (pdb) not available for Manjaro linux?

I am running Manjaro XFCE.


Edit:
I didn't realize that `ipdb` actually provides what I need. So I will just use that.

Hi all,

i'm looking for a functional dock for my UBPORT edition?

Do you have some references?
I have 2 differents models at home and they don't work for HDMI & usb.
Or maybe i have missed something... something to install or activate in the OS (test with UBport, mobian & postmarket)

The goal is to integrate the phone in a open source tablet (https://www.diskiopi.com)


Thank you.

A few days ago, the founder of elementary posted a tweet showcasing elementary OS running on his pinebook pro.

I was interested so I commented asking where I could get the image.

I was pointed to a build script which is linked here if you want to build it yourself. 

I went ahead and ran the build script and have the compiled image here.

you can flash the image with dd, if you don't know how here is a quick tutorial, just use the elementary OS image. you should also be able to use etcher. be careful with dd, make sure you are writing to the correct device and not just blindly copy/pasting.

The only issue I had was that image is that it creates a small partition. I got around this by manually extending the unmounted partition after dding it using the gparted gui. 

Here is a tweet of me showcasing my new image booted from nvme. (you need a good uboot on SPI or emmc for this to work. mine is on SPI)

I hope this helps you if you like elementary OS as much as I do!

Hi,

How to disable the IMU sensors on pine64 community edition? Anyone knows?
