  gnome_contacts and favorites
Posted by: chris_02 - 07-18-2020, 05:49 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

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


  Screen staying dark.
Posted by: ocschwar - 07-17-2020, 10:45 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (2)

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.


  Docking Station
Posted by: Zweitaktmotor - 07-17-2020, 07:50 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (2)

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.

Will it become available at some point?

It soulds exciting!


  Android phones run on a linux kernel
Posted by: tg121268 - 07-17-2020, 07:30 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

Android phones run on a linux kernel. With an IDE you can reconfigure this kernel and change all the android apps running on it.


  New Orders
Posted by: Etnok - 07-17-2020, 02:16 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (8)

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.

Thanks.


  Add contacts with VCF files
Posted by: Bouc - 07-17-2020, 01:34 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (12)

Hi, is there an easy way to import contacts from a vcf file?
I can't use simcard (different format) and I don't want a Google account.


Edit to solve:
From https://wiki.mobian-project.org

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:
Code:
sudo apt remove evolution

Code:
sudo apt autoremove


  UBports sitting in California
Posted by: 67comet - 07-17-2020, 08:19 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (6)

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?

"Additional Information

  Mainline kernel not working (no screen)
Posted by: jrobin28260 - 07-17-2020, 06:05 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Hi all,

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 Smile

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 :

Code:
CONFIG_CC_HAS_WARN_MAYBE_UNINITIALIZED=y
CONFIG_ARCH_CLOCKSOURCE_DATA=y
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED=y
CONFIG_ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_AT_VHE=y
CONFIG_ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_AT_NVHE=y
CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=y
CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH=y
CONFIG_PLUGIN_HOSTCC=""
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=y
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE=y
CONFIG_VEXPRESS_SYSCFG=y
CONFIG_V4L_PLATFORM_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SUN4I_CSI=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SUN6I_CSI=m
CONFIG_V4L_MEM2MEM_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_PINEPHONE_JD9365DA=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_XINGBANGDA_XBD599=y
CONFIG_DRM_I2C_ADV7533=y
CONFIG_SND_SOC_EC25=m
CONFIG_USB_CHIPIDEA_OF=m
CONFIG_RTL8723CS_NEW=m
CONFIG_COMMON_CLK_VERSATILE=y
CONFIG_CLK_SP810=y
CONFIG_CLK_VEXPRESS_OSC=y
CONFIG_CLKSRC_MMIO=y
CONFIG_CLKSRC_VERSATILE=y
CONFIG_RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_NATIVE=y
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT=y

I guess the fact of having CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_PINEPHONE_JD9365DA missing may be one of the reasons why I have nothing on the screen...

Are you sure that mainline kernel can really be used on the pinephone?

If so, is there some diffconfig or pinephone64-defconfig somewhere?

Thank you in advance!


  Boot problems
Posted by: pvdv - 07-17-2020, 05:07 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (5)

Hello,

I've received my Pinephone some days ago. First it did boot fine, but not anymore...

When I press the power-on button this does not work always (not sure how long I should press on the button), but if I try it a few times the phone starts.
I see the LED's and the Pine64 logo. Then I hear a soft "click" sound and the phone is off again.

Is here somebody who knows what this click-sound can be?

With regards,
Paul


  using on-board sensors
Posted by: Mentaluproar - 07-17-2020, 12:00 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Is there a way to access the hardware sensors for temperatures and voltages through the sensors command?  Has anyone mapped things to a /etc/sensors.d/rockpro64 file? I can rename the virtual adaptor temps but power management reads out all zeros.
