1. How do I reset the terminal sudo password. I know how to do change it from the desktop when we set a user password, but not on the phone.

2. I upgraded to developmental, and not my phone app does not work. Does anyone know how to remedy that.

3. I installed a Gmail app and it crashes every single time.

4. Does anyone know how to add a Google Account. When I go to accounts, it just hangs there and never goes anywhere.

Hopefully someone from the forum will be able to help.

Thank you,

Hello, I changed the skin for the PinePhone Wiki in the wiki settings, and now I can't login to the wiki.

On Firefox the page is just a white screen, and on Chromium I get "This page isn't working"



Can someone help me get back into the wiki.

Hi,

So I installed Chromium on the internal emmc in my PBP. I'm guessing the U-Boot on it has the emmc in the first boot position. I'm assuming the way to flash something else on it would be to corrupt it so that the PBP boots off SD and then I can flash from a Linux distro on there.

How do I corrupt the emmc using Chromium? In particular, the Linux subsystem won't run.

Or is there a better course of action?

Thanks.

Greetings to all, happy PinePhone owner, multi-decade Linux and FOSS dude. In fact I bought this phone as a reward to myself for a professional lifetime of advocating FOSS in all levels of business and research and now I have the phone I always dreamed I wanted. 

One question I had if anyone has an answer: I have noticed that for several apps, the screen or more to the point, fields on the screen don't reflect keypresses or swipes until I effectively go the running process screen (right to left swipe showing running apps) and then reselecting the app I was editing something in; at this point all the keystrokes and other things register all at once....Worst offender of this is the Dekko 2 mailapp (BTW is there anything better for gmail?) but its not limited to that. If I were troubleshooting I would say that the thread scheduler is getting bound up and then reset upon going to the process list screen, at which point the running thread gets processor, processes the keystrokes and displays them as-expected. Until that happens the key events just seem to be piling up in somebodies message queue...so I am expecting the fix to this to look like a system update...in place of that though, first has anyone else noticed this? Secondly has anything found any fixes or work-arounds more graceful that typing blindly and periodically reselecting the same app from the process list to refresh the display....

has anyone used Zoom on PBP?

In terms of hardware PinePhone is already outdated to nowadays standards. Wondering if and what are exactly the future plans to keep it somewhere closer to modern standards in terms of hardware performance, screen type and resolution, or cameras?

Ps. Secondary and possibly third USB-C port could have a huge advantage over other phones on the market, has anyone thought of it?

I'm so appreciative of everything Pine64 is doing for the community. Thank you.

I'm checking every single day for the postmarketOS Pinephone release. I'm really excited! If the stars align properly I might be able to afford a pinebook too :p

Anyway, you have my complete support and I'm telling everyone about you and your products.

I switched from the first default OS to manjaro(xfce).

I am new to pacman (and kinda miss my apt-get  ).
If i try to install anything via pacman or pamac-manager i get the following errors(sorry for the german but I guess it's still understandable):

Hello,

A few interesting patches by megi have made their way to the pine64 kernel lately, bringing improved drivers for the pinephone cameras.
With a couple of extra hacks on top of that, and an experimental build of gnome-camera, support for the back camera should be working "out of the box" with the next nightly build

This is far from perfect, and should be regarded as some kind of "technology preview": image resolution is 720p only, and the quality is really poor atm.
Still, I believe this is a major step forward!

You can test by first upgrading your system, then running the following command:

Creating repo: mkdirat: permission denied

Is there any way to fix this?
