  Not booting after latest update
Posted by: Boern - 06-25-2020, 03:13 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hi, 

I issued an

Code:
apt update && apt upgrade

a few hours ago and since then it's not booting anymore. I just see the LED shining in white. The screen remains black.

I saw that it was installing the 5.7 kernel, so I guess it messed up u-boot. 

I had it installed to EMMC, so I hope I will be able to restore everything by booting from SD. Can I just reinstall u-boot? What are the commands to do so?
I'm also still on the old version where /boot was on the root partition. Maybe it is also because of that. I guess, when I'm already in the process of repairing I could also repartition.


  Default Theme
Posted by: wasgurd - 06-25-2020, 12:06 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Hi all,

I tried the dark theme by:

Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme “Adwaita-dark”

How to get back to the default one?


  Problems with Phone Calls
Posted by: TitanToast - 06-25-2020, 11:31 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - No Replies

Every time I press a call, I and the person I am talking to hear loud static noises. It sounds a bit like a radio and it's very hard to understand each other.

Is this normal or a specific hardware problem.

Thanks

  Nextcloud Account setup not working
Posted by: kelbot - 06-25-2020, 10:19 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (3)

When I go to System Settings > Accounts > Nextcloud, I get an endlessly spinning circle to the right but nothing ever happens. Has anyone else been able to setup a Nextcloud account or any other account? I just tried and none of the account options work. Just spins forever.


  3500mAh battery seems to have killed modem
Posted by: forretress - 06-25-2020, 08:58 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Before replacing the battery, internet and texting were working on Verizon's network (I hadn't tried making a call). After the 3500mAh replacement[0] the bottom half of the screen started flickering. I immediately turned the phone off and put the stock battery in, but now I don't seem to have any cellular network access (though the phone can see my SIM card). I've already double checked that it wasn't a result of me accidentally flipping the kill-switches when I did the swap. I recognise that this was the result of me playing with fire to see what would happen, and while I'm open to advice I'm sort of assuming I'll need to wait for more main boards to come available -- replacing the modem specifically is probably above of my level of solder competency. I just wanted to warn anybody googling for pinephone battery upgrade information related to v1.2 CE that my personal experience is 3500mAh kills modems.

  Image #58 Touchscreen Unresponsive
Posted by: BryWilson - 06-25-2020, 07:36 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Upgraded from PinePhone Devel Image #52 to #58 this morning over OTA, rebooted and now have an utterly unresponsive touchscreen Undecided

It boots up fine, Volume Up and Down buttons and Power button work (as evidenced by OSD responses) and I can still ssh in, but touchscreen not working.

If I revert back to Image #52, touchscreen works again - OTA update to #58 breaks it again. I see from System Image Changes page (https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/ro...ge/changes) that #58 and #59 have not changed since #57, so assuming this is a #57 problem?


  PBP lines across screen, halts whilst running (prev. will not power on)
Posted by: ajcollins - 06-25-2020, 05:01 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

Hello,

After a hardware failure on my primary laptop last week (display backlight failure), I was looking forward to more time using my PBP, which has had minimal use to date.

This morning, the screen started displaying various horizontal lines and obviously corrupt data, and the device became unresponsive. Was booted off SD (Manjaro, i3wm) at the time.

Power-off worked. Power-on did not. I've tried leaving to charge, and battery bypass, with no success.

I am using an Apple USB-C charger, which continues to work correctly with other Apple / Dell devices. I have not tried the PSU which came with it as it didn't come with a UK adaptor and I do not have one.

My PBP is from the second batch, I believe, has the 128GB eMMC, and arrived in mid-November.

From looking over other posts, it looks like the options to explore are:
- Removing the eMMC / toggling the switch;
- Connecting a serial cable (I do not think I have a compatible one) to check whether uBoot is loading.

Any other suggestions I have missed?

Thank you!


  Mobian stuck in bootloop
Posted by: The_Bolder - 06-25-2020, 04:04 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hey all,

I flashed the 16/06 build (and later the nightly) on a 32GB SanDisk microSD card. Sadly, in both cases Mobian is stuck during the plymouth boot screen (circle keeps circling indefinitely).

PostmarketOS works with this card, so I guess the microSD is not the problem. UBports is on the internal flash.

Any clue what the problem might be? Thanks.


  Micro SD card read/write speed.
Posted by: Nobot - 06-25-2020, 01:29 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Since I am a new Linux user this was not apparent to me before. If you are booting from the micro SD port your PBP computer will only run as fast as the installed card can read+write. I wrote a few different versions of Manjaro to some old slow cards and one version to a new fast card. It is like night and day. Fast computer=fast SD card. Running Manjaro-Arm64-KDE-Plasma 20.06 fixed all my PBP problems I had with the Manjaro version shipped on the computer. No audio, no battery icon, crazy screen flicker, battery depletion during sleep, inability to read USB devices on ports A 2.0 and 3.0, are all resolved when using 20.06
