Focal Gnome 20.04 no sound? |

Today I noticed that @ayufan had a Ubuntu 20.04 build, so I decided to try it out. No matter what I do, however, I cannot get any sound from the speakers. I have tried everything I could find on this forum, and made sure that the speakers were turned up in alsamixer, but no luck. Ideas anyone? Other then no sound and the printing service missing (which I can live with) I have really been loving this build.

| Libertine / XMir not connecting to Mir |

I'm using the recent release 53 and am having trouble getting X windows applications to display. When I try to run Xmir, it errors saying Failed to Connect to Mir. I tried variants of DISPLAY=:0, DISPLAY=:1, DISPLAY=:2, and DISPLAY=. The error is:
Quote:Fatal server error:
(EE) Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
When I do ps, there appears to be a MirAgent running with a socket in /var/run/user/32011/mir_socket_trusted but passing that for Xmir -mirSocket doesn't help. I also saw /run/mir_socket in pas but passing that doesn't work either. Incidentally, neither mir_socket nor mir_socket_trusted actually exist as files at those paths.
I'm stuck. Is Mir running? Should Xmir be able to connect to it? How do we get it working.
Some notes to get to where I am. On a fresh UBports install of release 53:
(1) Xmir was failing because it couldn't find libGL. So I added the /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/mesa to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/aarch64-linux-gnu_EGL.conf and ran sudo ldconfig. Then Xmir was able to get beyond the libGL missing error to the error I'm getting now.
(2) libertine via wasn't starting/creating a container from Settings. So I apt installed lxc lxd and python3-libertine-chroot, and created a container (to create I used the loopback ssh localhost trick). I was then able to use the Settings interface to install gedit and x11-apps. But libertine-launch fails, saying Xmir is not running on DISPLAY.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI under Debian phosh and plasma-mobile I was able to run x11 apps just from the terminal, it would be great if something like this were possible from Ubuntu Touch.
Thank you,
Saliency

| Is there a MMC upgrade instruction from debian-mate to manjaro factory (20.06)? |

Hi all,
Is there a clear instruction how to upgrade an 1st batch Pinebook Pro with original (Debian-Mate) OS on MMC to the new factory Manjaro or 20.06?
I've already tried manjaro 20.02 and 20.06 on SD and there are fine, so I like to update it to MMC to free up the SD slot.
Another option would be to install it on the SSD and boot from MMC to SSD, but I haven't found a real clear up to date instruction yet.
Or can we have a multiboot bootloader on MMC?
Regards Paul

Since I've got my Pinebook Pro this problem keeps haunting me. WiFi gets really bad on negligible distances and obstacles.
Here are some speedtests I've just did:
Code: Test 1 (far):
Download: 1.94 Mbit/s
Upload: 3.24 Mbit/s
Test 2 (middle):
Download: 6.01 Mbit/s
Upload: 16.17 Mbit/s
Test 3 (closest):
Download: 42.00 Mbit/s
Upload: 48.58 Mbit/s
The first test is done at 5 meters distance with 2 solid concrete walls and my back that block the WiFi signal.
The second test is done at ~2 meters distance with the same walls blocking it.
The third test is done with the laptop on top of the router.
This is based on the 2.4GHz band. Now one would say the walls are the problem, but if I do the test with my smartphone at the very same place as I did the 1st test, my speeds would reach ~30Mbit/s. So apparently the walls shouldn't cause that much of a problem. Just to make sure, I took another laptop (Acer TravelMate B117), placed it on the very same place as my Pinebook Pro in the 1st test, ran a speedtest and the speeds were the same as my phone - ~30Mbit/s.
The conclusion is that my Pinebook Pro is the problem and not the router or the location. I just can't figure out whats wrong. I've changed distributions, changed the firmware drivers, tried everything in the Wiki about problematic wifi, nothing fixes the issue.
Is it antenna problem? Firmware problem? Something I'm missing?
Just for the sake of completeness, I'm running on Manjaro ARM 20.04 right now. This is the firmware I did my speedtests with:
Code: # pacman -Ss ap6256
community/ap6256-firmware 2020.01-1 [installed]
Firmware files for the ap6256 wifi/bt module
Edit: This should be quite useful as well:

| Pine 64 as Smart Speaker via Bluetooth |
|
Posted by: Partymack711 - 06-21-2020, 03:28 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials
- No Replies

Hi,
I am looking to use the Pine64 as the ‘brains’ to make a ‘dumb’ speaker ‘smart’.
I have limited coding skills so I want to use proprietary software and hardware to do this.
The theory I have is to use an inexpensive Bluetooth speaker with built in mic (like this one: Bluetooth Speaker) pair it via BT with Pine64 and then use the google assistant app from Play store.
Any reason why this might not work? Anybody tried this already?

Hi!
I recently created an SD card to test Mobian on the PinePhone.
I would like to SSH onto it but I am not able to do it from another device in the same network.
I am trying to connect to the mobian user with stock password: 1234
I have already installed open ssh-server, the service is running, and can even SSH onto it locally
$ ssh mobian@localhost
But if I try to SSH from another device it fails.
$ ssh mobian@ipaddress
Am I missing something?

I am getting this really blurry video as depicted in this image for some operating systems when I try to use them with my PBP.
This occurs with the following operating systems:
chromiumos-rockpro64-R77-12371.7.104.g78f88d6.img
pinebookpro-debian-desktop-mrfixit191226.img
pine64-installer-2.0.0-beta.3-darwin-x64.dmg
But this works fine:
focal-gnome-pinebookpro-0.10.12-1184-arm64.img
I'm assuming this is a driver issue since it works with Ubuntu but not with others? Any idea why this is happening?

| Unable to mount NVME (PineBook Pro) |

I searched through the forums and was not able to get my problems fixed. I checked out the arch/manjaro forums.
I want to mount my nvme (nvme0n1) drive (adapter purchased through pine64) it is recognized in in the system but I am unable to save it or view it in the file manager. I purchased the nvme based on the Wiki with working nvme drives.
I am getting super block errors and it is refusing to mount. Does anyone have any suggestions or can help me walk through? I have been going at this for about 3 hours on and off.
