I am an early supporter and adopter of the Braveheart PinePhone. I thought there would be no major revisions to the hardware (just bug fixes) when I went and pledged my support. Now I see a significantly improved Convergence edition mainboard and feel like I would have been better served waiting, certainly not the mindset any of us want for the project's success. We need to be sure that us pioneers will be properly supported throughout the project, else how can we expect anyone to risk early support?
To this end I request the ability to purchase a Convergence edition mainboard to update my device, and not be left out of the 3GB ram / 32GB EMMC party because I believed in PinePhone before the masses. I don't regret my support, nor am I looking for a handout, just the freedom to purchase an upgrade.
the windows overlap, however the biggest problem is the microphone because my interlocutors can't hear me and I don't know which other device to use in the configuration (alsa by default doesn't work)
for windows, I contacted Luboš Doležel
if I delete gnome_contacts bookmarks, it doesn't appear in the desktop
via software, the status is installed
it is impossible to launch or delete it because no packet.
Another case if I install twinkle :
twinkle is placed in the favorites instead of gnome_contacts.
gnome_contacts does not appear in the re desktop
via software, the status is installed
it is impossible to launch or delete it because no packet.
with apt :
remove : no packet
install : intall of gnome-contacts_3.36.1-1mobian1_arm64.deb
via software it's possible to launch but it doesn't appear in the desktop and favorites
reboot : it's ok
I have not been able to reproduce this problem with gnome-calendar
Hi, all. I just got a new Pinebook Pro, with Manjaro, and was beginning to have fun with it. I tried a software update and when I cameback to the machine, I could not get the screen to light up. I've powered it down and back up several times and at no time does the screen backlight turn on.
Is there any key combination I could type to try to force it on?
Many thanks.
I see that the Postmarket OS community version of the Pinephone is available with a docking station, but this is not available separately in the Store.
Now that the order website is active again, when will we be able to order PineTab? I missed the early opportunity and would really like to "get in line" for the next one. Why can't you get a "pre-order waiting list" established? I would like to be among the next in line for a PineTab.
Import contacts from VCF file
Syncevolution has been removed from upstream Debian, in the meantime it is straightforward to import contacts from a VCF file via Evolution tooling. First install evolution:
Code:
sudo apt install evolution
Before you import the file you will need to set scale-to-fit for Evolution on, otherwise the import dialog page is unusable.
Code:
scale-to-fit Evolution on
After this I opened the .vcf file via the Files app, it auto-launched the import dialoug. After importing I removed the Evolution app, this step is optional:
My Pine phone (UBPorts) has been in California "on its way to USPS" for a week. How long do they normally sit before getting onto the mail truck?

I successfully started a Debian 10 ARM64 rootfs + initrd, preinstalled using QEMU with LXDE and autologin. For a touch screen this is not easy to use, but I expect using keyboard and mouse soon
Using the 5.6.0-pine64 kernel which was provided with Ubuntu at delivery few weeks ago, having included the 5.6.0-pine64 modules into the debian's initrd, and having the "fstab" file corrected into rootfs, it boots fine. I customised the U-Boot boot script too.
However, I tried to do the same with a 5.8.0-rc5 kernel, using the config-5.6.0-pine64 as .config file for building the 5.8.0-rc5 kernel.
But I have no screen. I tried disabling "Enable loadable module support" so that every driver is embedded/preloaded into the kernel, but nothing more.
When comparing resulting .config, the following lines are missing after having 5.8.0-rc5 kernel built :
