| How to safely add the Kali repository to Mobian |

Exercise caution when employing this change; adding the Kali repository to Debian is not endorsed by Offensive Security, the Debian Project, or the Mobian project
Code: echo 'deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list
wget -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | sudo apt-key add
echo -e '# Never prefer packages from the Kali repository\nPackage: *\nPin: release o=Kali\nPin-Priority: 1' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/99kali
Kali packages are now accessible, and do not conflict with packages provided by Debian (or Mobian)
If a Kali package is preferable to its Debian equivalent, the package should be pinned

| curious why KDE by default? |

Hi
I've had my Pinebook Pro for three days and I like it a lot. I like the keyboard and I love the battery life.
I just wondered why it was decided to put KDE on by default?
I haven't used KDE for years and years, in my mind KDE and Gnome are both "heavy weight" desktop environments and so for years I used XFCE and more recently I have been playing with LXQT. For someone who started with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 I actually feel more comfortable with these "simple" desktop environments.
So is my understanding of KDE / Gnome outdated? Would the battery last longer and the disk have more space with LXQT?
The KDE Manjaro on the Pinebook Pro seems to maybe prove me wrong but I'm curious to learn.
thanks DNJ

| Modem stopped working on BH |

Hi.
After a few weeks of usage with UBports, modem stopped working.
My suspicion is that it might have been broken by crust, since it doesn't work with other images either, and it was having issues for more than a week now (not starting after deep sleep). The other possibility is that it was faulty from the start, and it just died now.
I tried a factory test, and the modem test fails with a boot timeut.
Anyone else having these issues?

How to make the Manjaro Gnome image update |

FAIR WARNING: After I followed these steps and then updated Manjaro it failed to boot. Until the image itself is updated, I do not recommend installing this variant of Manjaro!
The current Manjaro Gnome image is very old. Manjaro has changed how it updates, so in order to make it update I ran the below command from this comment (https://forum.manjaro.org/t/all-mirrors-.../123901/17) in the Manjaro forums:
Code: sudo pacman -U http://ftp-osl.osuosl.org/pub/manjaro-arm/repo/stable/core/aarch64/pacman-mirrorlist-20200225-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
and then ran pacman -Syyu after. Unfortuantely, that didn't work, as pacman was making a fuss about the xorgproto package, so after a little googling I ran the command: pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga, which removed the problematic package and allowed me to update.
Hope this saves somebody some time!
EDIT: So that brought the updates up to April. In order to be fully up to date I had to edit my pacman mirrors file (I copied and pasted this from same Manjaro forum, just further down: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/all-mirrors-.../123901/22)
- Edit your
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
- file, so only this line is present:
Code: Server = https://manjaro.moson.eu/arm-stable/$repo/$arch

| Mainline Status of the H64 |

Hi,
I played around with the H64 on the mainline kernel in Debian unstable (5.7) and the latest uboot (v2020.07). Unfortunately, it seems that neither eMMC storage nor the networking are supported in Linux. They get both detected in uboot and booting from eMMC starts successfully.
I guess this board is not supported yet in mainline, isn't it?

| Trackpad doesn't pick up small movements |

My Pinebook Pro arrived two days ago and it's great, however I have noticed that if I want to move the mouse pointer just a couple of pixels away from where it is that it's basically impossible.
Small movements don't move the pointer at all.
If I put my finger on the trackpad and very slowly move it in any direction it's like, nothing, nothing, nothing, it's moving!
Is this a configuration thing with Manjaro? does it need a firmware update?
thanks DNJ

| Any way to tell the PinePhone's hardware revision |

Greetings,
I was planning to try my phone as a USB host. I read here that the 1.2a revision fixes the USB CC pin issue. Is there any way to check the PinePhone hardware revision, either by inspecting the hardware or using software? I'd like to check whether I have revision 1.2 or 1.2a before I attempt a hardware fix, or (very unlikely but still) accidentally damage it by connecting a USB3 adapter.
My PP is the UBports community edition.
Regards,
R.T.G.

RCS - Rich Communication Services |

I have been reading about the new SMS replacement called Rich Communication Services (RCS), but I cannot find any projects working on implementing the standard for the various Linux-based phones. Does anyone know of a project working on it?
Additionally, I am not knowledgeable enough to figure out if the telecommunication providers will translate between the two message types if the receiving end does not have RCS enabled or implemented. Is it possible that as more people start using RCS instead of SMS, Pinephone users will not be able to receive messages from them (excluding platforms like signal or telegram)?
Is anyone else thinking about this? I am desperately hoping group MMS messages will be implemented in Ubuntu Touch or Mobian sometime soon, but if the world is moving to RCS it seems like a lot of work for something that is going away soon. Not sure when or if the telecommunication companies will stop routing SMS/MMS. Does anyone know more or have thoughts about this?
