  CrOS boot from sd, now pinebook doesn't boot anymore
Posted by: qdoy55d9wkn8zw - 06-18-2020, 09:59 AM - Forum: Chromium OS on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

Recently I've received the pinebook pro, really happy! Worked great. Then I had in mind to try out Chromium.

I formatted my SD card, and DD'ed the chromium image on it:
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...e#Chromium

Turned of my pinebook pro, and tried to boot from the sd card. Yet all I got was a black screen. I've then turned off the device by holding the power key, removed the SD card, yet it seems it's not even booting Manjaro anymore.

I really don't get how booting from the SD could break boot in general. Maybe any of you has a clue? What can I best do next?

Thank you so much in advance!


  auto brightness
Posted by: colin hodsdon - 06-18-2020, 09:55 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (3)

the auto brightness was going  crazy when i updated yesterday, i had to find it and turn it off.
my thought was if you have this turned on in the devices coming out of the factory, it could create a bad impression,if they start doing this, when first turned on.

just FYI  LUKE


  Kali boot issues
Posted by: wofam - 06-18-2020, 09:53 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Hi there. I recently flashed kali linux to my emmc module and I'm having some boot issues. I booted from an SD card using debian, deleted all partitions on the emmc, downloaded the kali image and then used 'dd' to flash it to the emmc module. After I shut down, pop out the SD card and then power up, the system boots into Kali just fine from the emmc, as expected. However, if I shut my pinebook off for a day or so and then come back and turn it on, all of a sudden it won't boot. I just get a solid red (amber?) light and blank screen when I power up. I've repeated this process multiple times with the same results. Initially I can boot no problem, but then it won't after being off for a while. It almost seems like there's something wrong with the emmc module....

Any ideas?


I may have spoken too soon. It seems there's an issue with PBP not booting after updating with apt-get in Kali, which has been recently addressed in a nightly release. I'm going to experiment with other OS's but assume for now that that was my issue.


Thumbs Up Dev 53 - Huge improvement - Thank you
Posted by: bingo600 - 06-18-2020, 09:40 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (16)

I just updated my CE PinePhone to DEV 53 today.

For the first time i was able to make calls both ways Cool 
And even with audio Heart 

SMS works both ways

Screen resolution is back to "good"  as on Stable

My PP does NOT like to dial a number prefixed with my Country prefix ie. +45 xx xx xx xx , i usually prefix all my contacts w. the country prefix.
It says "Please check the number", and call fails.

But it works wo. prefix Big Grin 

It seems like going to sleep stops GSM calling from working.
A reboot will cure that , until next sleep.




Calling the PP while it has the screen "off" (after sleeping) , seems to turn on the screen "it knows something is happening" , but no ringtone or call indicator.
And the Call goes to voicemail.

The missing icons (Wheel + contact) on the phone (dial) page is bac, so is the phone icon on the red/green button in the bottom

BS + Enter symbols are back on the keybd.


Seems like SMS also fails after "sleep"


I made my first 2way call with audio today Cool Big Grin Heart 


THANK YOU guyzz ... We're getting there

/Bingo


Edit: Just tried to call the PP again while sleeping - It definately "wakes" Screen turns on and it asks me for my SSID Passwd , I think the pass code screen is in the background.

I have 2 AP's serving the same SSID , and it keeps asking me for the SSID passcode ... Cumbersome (well annoying) 
But not as high prio as Calling etc.
But pls. look into it  Blush


  Only the top few rows of pixels work on stable OTA 3
Posted by: NoraCodes - 06-18-2020, 09:18 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - No Replies

I just upgraded my PinePhone to OTA 3 and it looks like only the top few rows work after boot. This is not an issue in other images (so not a hardware issue, I imagine).

  Soldering internal Wifi/Bluetooth antenna
Posted by: petet0n76 - 06-18-2020, 08:44 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

Hello,
just did a complete disassemble of my Pinebook Pro. When I tried to disconnect the internal wireless antenna from the CPU Board the socket came off from the board, damage caused. Would like to repair without replacing the CPU Board, are there two potential solder joints (shield/signal) where the antenna can be soldered to ? If it cannot be fixed...USB Wireless dongle seems to be the remaining option.
Any hint appreciared, Peter


  Anyone who have Pinephone Ubports CE who have booked the phone after 22nd?
Posted by: rksomayaji - 06-18-2020, 08:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

The delivery of Pinephone Ubports CE has started but there must be few who have booked it before the cut off date of 22nd of May. There must be few who have booked it after. I have done it on 24th and raising questions on chat or forum have mostly gone unanswered. Just want to know is there anyone else who is on the same boat or am I the only one. I fear of joining the ranks of people whose orders have been cancelled by Pine64.


  brand new manjaro PBP - pacman PGP import failure
Posted by: shindagger - 06-18-2020, 07:19 AM - Forum: Getting Started - No Replies

Just unboxed my new PBP, and i cannot get snapd (or any software) installed. First, generally speaking, is there a forum post for new versions of manjaro, recently shipped? Would love some kind of "getting started" doc... 

`5.6.0-2-MANJARO-ARM`



when i run `sudo pacman -S snapd` it attempts to download a PGP key, and fails every time. Computer has network connectivity, can surf the web with firefox.

i've tried the following command in every possible order:
`sudo rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/`
`sudo pacman-key --init` 
`sudo pacman -Syyu`
`sudo pacman-mirrors -g`
`sudo pacman -Sy gnunpg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring`

polkit is active and running.

any information at all would be helpful. can't even install vim right now, and can't get any of the boot images from the wiki to work on my SD..


  8 GB ?
Posted by: GloriousCoffee - 06-18-2020, 05:35 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (2)

Hello everyone

Just wondering,
are there currently any plans on releasing an 8 GB version of the RockPRO64 ?

I've generally been very happy with the PineBook, really a perfect machine to have on the go. I would love to switch to Pine for my main work computer, but that would require a bit more than 4GB as the browser tends to eat a lot of the memory. Really hoping to see something with more ram in the future.
