  Download Latest Version through wget/curl
Posted by: pizzalovingnerd - 06-19-2020, 11:52 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hello, I was wondering if there was a URL to download the latest image available for Mobian.

I am building an application that auto downloads and flashes images onto the EMMC. In order to do this, I need a url that always points to the latest version of Mobian. Otherwise, I would have to update the application whenever there was an update.

Thanks in Advance

  Automount SD card
Posted by: MasterGreenbolt - 06-19-2020, 06:45 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (7)

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?


  Cloud backup recommendations
Posted by: Phillip Bell - 06-19-2020, 04:06 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

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.


Heart I *love* the logo-free chassis
Posted by: Phillip Bell - 06-19-2020, 03:58 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

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.


  New to Pine64: should I have expected a tracking number by now?
Posted by: Indieshack - 06-19-2020, 03:20 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

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


  Webber not creating webapp
Posted by: sinclair489 - 06-19-2020, 02:21 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (3)

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.


  RStudio for Manjaro?
Posted by: jjbrehm - 06-19-2020, 02:20 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

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.


  Minetest on Manjaro
Posted by: newton688 - 06-19-2020, 11:52 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

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:


Code:
1) git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git
2) cd minetest/
3) git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game


But, this is in the unstable master branch. I have a server that runs version 5.x. So, let's change branches for both git repos to stable 5.x.

Code:
1) git fetch origin stable-5:stable-5
2) (cd games/minetest_game; git fetch origin stable-5:stable-5)
3) cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE -DENABLE_LEVELDB=OFF # See here about the leveldb problem: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14458&p=63585
4) make -j$(nproc)
5) sudo make install

I hope that these instructions help others out there doing open source gaming.



Cheers,

Chris


  General getting started
Posted by: James Good - 06-19-2020, 09:45 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

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


  Low brightness (defect?)
Posted by: brandhout - 06-19-2020, 09:43 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (4)

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 ?
