I boot ubports from the eMMC (preinstalled) and added a micro-sd to the system. If I mount the card manually, I get at least "read" access to the card. But there is no auto-mount happening of the sd-card. Does anyone have any suggestions to automatically mount the card and be able to write to it?

Requirements:

1. Must be compatible with Arch and ARM64 (Mega is not, Dropbox is not)
2. Must be E2E encrypted 
3. Fees not outrageous (I'm looking at you, Cloudberry, now something-something-360)

I'm willing to pay for a solution, but can't find one, really.

Pine, please don't ever change!

I know it's tempting to put a logo on the chassis, but I really love it being logo-less!

It's nice not seeing or feeling extra crap on the cover or palm-rests.  

I can add my own designs!  Or just leave it without tattoos or marks.

Feels more like "my" machine.  Very raw.

I ordered a RockPro64 plus accessories for it on Monday June 15 (4 days ago) with a "next shipping date" displayed of "June 19". After placing the order I received an email confirmation of the order. To date I haven't received a tracking number and there appears to be no order status capability on the Pine64 website. Should I assume that my order missed the June 19 "next shipping date"?

Thanks

I have tried to use Webber to make shortcuts to frequently used websites instead of having many tabs open in Morph Browser. The app gets to the "Exporting" step and then the shortcut never shows in the app drawer/Lomiri. Has anyone noticed this behavior, or is it just me? I last tried this on Stable #3 with no success.

Has anyone been successful installing RStudio on Manjaro? There is a straightforward installation for OpenSuse xfce, and a way to compile from source for Debian/Ubuntu (and apparently for Redhat).

Google searches indicate that it should be possible with `yay i rstudio-desktop-bin` but this returns the wrong binaries. Further google searches turn up that the app hasn't been updated for Manjaro or Arch for quite a while.

Hi All,



My son is a big fan of the Minetest game. The standard pacman package crashes on startup. I have it running in Manjaro Linux on the PBP and the performance is not terrible (not optimal either though) by compiling it from sources.



Here's how I did it:

Arwen,

This is not a complaint, only a suggestion, mainly for those PBP owners and users that are also new to the Linux operating system and programming language.  A personal note, I have found from past experience that social media forums are not always the best way to ask for assistance if/when any really big problem comes up when trying to use, or learn to use, a new product.  Social media forums can be of some use as a tool to address situations or problems that affect several users of a given product.  Some companies that I have done business with establish what that company terms 'tech support' or 'customer support' staff as a part if the basic business plan.  The main focus of the people in that section would be tasked with answering, or trying to answer, questions from those new users/owners that become frustrated almost to the point of attempting to demand a full and immediate refund of all charges the user/owner incurred while trying to get that new purchase to even start.  In my case, I had posted a few questions in the forums here about the Pinebook Pro that I recently received.  Generally, this laptop is a good quality item.  I have not been able to learn enough about it to say the laptop is a 'great' value for the cost involved.  To date, even after posting the qestions in some of the forums here, I have not seen or received any answer to my questions.  At present, my PBP is not boot-able.  When powered on, it will go to a screen or page asking for a password.  No matter what I might enter on that page, a message comes back: password failed.  My main question right now is: How can I either restore the original software on this laptop and start using it, or how could I load a different version of Linux on the laptop so that I would at least be able to use it?  Please help as my frustration is growing.
Thank you,
James Good

Hi !

The screen on my pinebook pro is very dim. I'm almost unable to use it in a normally lit office environment or outside in the shadow even at max brightness. Is it supposed to be that way or is this unusual ?

Got my new PB Pro yesterday, and for the most part, I'm really happy with it.  There is an incredibly irritating issue with the trackpad, however.  In most cases, as soon as I stop using the keyboard or touchpad for 2-3 seconds, when I use either again there is about a 500ms lag before the input registers, similar to an older wireless mouse that goes to sleep after a few minutes and doesn't respond immediately when you use it.  The problem here is, in the case of the trackpad, when the initial movement is detected, it sees the movement during that 500ms as happening -instantly-, so the pointer jumps most of the way across the screen.  Situations where this do not occur include the login screen, if the KDE start menu is clicked and active, or if I change trackpad settings in System Settings (though it comes back soon after).

I decided to try flashing an alternate OS to an SD card, but so far the only one I could get to run was Manjaro XFCE, and that has the same problem.  Every other OS image I've tried from https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...re_Release has failed in one way or another:

Ubuntu Bionic - no video at all, but system does boot as I hear the Ubuntu login sound.  Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not bring up a visible console.
Ubuntu Focal - eventually was able to get to a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F1
Q4OS - no video, can't tell if it actually booted
Debian Desktop - boots with video, but video is extremely distorted and unreadable.  can see mouse pointer moving though, and it dosen't exhibit the problem.
Chromium - same as Debian, boots with extremely distorted video

In addition, I'm seeing this message repeated in dmesg in Manjaro (I also caught it on the Ubuntu Focal text console):
