  Any other ham radio folks here? - started a repeater app.
Posted by: programmin - 06-16-2020, 08:19 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (7)

Greetings all,

I was excited to see another Linux-based phone (I preordered the Librem awhile ago), and I'm wondering how many other amateur radio folks are out there - what software do you use for Linux handhelds?

In prepping for using a Linux phone I set up an app similar to RepeaterBook - but with an open source application!

If you are interested in building native Linux apps like this with GTK+Python3, I have a 7 part blog posting series on how I built it here. Including making an app more responsive on smaller screens.


  Replacement internal antenna?
Posted by: azuntik - 06-16-2020, 08:14 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (6)

I've searched the forum and the store and have come up empty.

While replacing the keyboard on my PBP, I damaged the internal WiFi/BT antenna. It still sort of works, but I'd like to replace it. There's nothing available in the store and I can't find the anything about the part number that's on the antenna (SLK-NSD-2516E).

I've found replacement internal antennas on a few websites, but they tend to be really long, since they're intended to loop around the screen. The PBP antenna is relatively short (maybe 15 cm/6 in). Anyone know of a source to get a replacement? Or should I just buy a long one and try to find a place to put all the extra cable?

Thanks in advance!


  Pine64 SNES
Posted by: Foxchild - 06-16-2020, 04:02 PM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Everytime I visit the pine64 website, I see this picture from some pine64 exhibition...
On this table I can see an old Super Famicom (Super Nintendo Enternainment System) with some sort of cartridge in there.

[Image: FOSDEM18-add.png]

I'd be very interested what what accomplished there and how pine hardware was used in this project. Smile

Can someone point me to a bit more information on this?


  wi-fi mac-address random
Posted by: chris_02 - 06-16-2020, 02:00 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (8)

@a-wai, for wi-fi, the mac-address changes at every reboot

I tried to set it to its hardware value by adding at the end of the :

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

but that doesn't change anything


Sad Crashes in every OS - Hardware-issue?
Posted by: rakor - 06-16-2020, 12:25 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

Hey there,

my PinePhone CE crashed in every system I tested (UBports, Manjaro, Mobian, Sailfish, ...). Sometimes it is running some hours, sometimes it crashes after some minutes. I thought it could be a RAM-problem but I only found memtester as userspace-application which gives no exhaustive result.

Could it be my device has an hardware-issue? How can I test? The phone also gets often really hot. Might also be there is a heatproblem.

I don't know how to go further. I'd really love to use the PP als daily driver but It is not usable this way for me Sad

Any help and hints welcome!


  USB Networking (SSH)
Posted by: jrowe - 06-16-2020, 11:07 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I have Mobian installed, updated, and running. I have pinephone-devtools installed, openssh-server installed and enabled, running.

How do I get Windows 10 to recognize the usb connection as network? I can get tethering mode to work with android phones, so my Windows setup is ready to see it.

Thanks!


  calculator
Posted by: chris_02 - 06-16-2020, 09:52 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

calculator is a good application however I use the inverted Polish notation (RPN) on a daily basis.
galculator is a calculator based on GTK 2 / GTK 3 with ordinary notation and Reverse Polishing Notation (RPN).
is it possible to replace calculator with galculator?


  Securing the APT repository
Posted by: a-wai - 06-16-2020, 09:01 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi,

As this has been requested a while ago, and it made perfectly sense, we configured the repo for automatic GPG signing.
This is an important security measure, but you'll certainly experience issues while upgrading, such as this message:

Code:
W: GPG error: http://repo.mobian-project.org mobian InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 951D61F2BC232697

This won't prevent you from upgrading or installing software from the repo, but it is advised you import the repo key by executing the following command:

Code:
wget -O - https://repo.mobian-project.org/mobian.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

This will be fixed in the next nightly build (20200617), but will still be needed for older installs.

Alternatively, you can also configure the repo the way we now do it in the images:

Code:
sudo apt install extrepo
sudo extrepo enable mobian
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.list

Sad Disappointment with the Pinebook
Posted by: leperotero - 06-16-2020, 06:14 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (7)

I have a Pinebook since July 2017. I was excited with the arrival, a cheap laptop Open Hardware with ARM processor! But today it still unsupported... and it's useless to make anything. I try use to read mail and write some document, but it's so slow and so unestable for any production task.

I try with KDE Neon, Ubuntu Mate, Android, Manjaro... and nothing...

It doesn't have GPU support, (LIMA drivers is so immature), the speaker are not heard, the HDMI  is an ornament, the Wifi signal is weak...

I don't know... Now, I can see that the company is dedicating all efforts to the new Pinebook Pro. But I thing that the legacy Pinebook like me feel cheated, because we have bought without support forever...

Please don't forget the PineBook...
