I saw a phosh anx and plasma mr1235 demo image on the PmOS site. I didn't mess with the mr1235 one, cause I prefer phosh, but I tried the phosh anx images. It worked like a lot of the previous post-March phosh images haven't for me, but it has no network in it. Even rfkill only showed bluetooth.
What does the anx version do differently? Or is it a version made for someone specifically? Or is it something really obvious and I'm being stupid?
Thanks for anyone who can scratch this curiosity itch!
My rig running Arch has recieved an update for Linux 5.7. While reading online about Linux 5.7, I noticed that a lot of focus was on ARM devices and Pine products. If that is the case, how soon should I expect the update for Manjaro ARM on the PBP and will it solve some issues e.g. suspend.
I am have a screen burn in issue after the device is on for about 10 min. It get worse the longer its been running and after about 20-25 min not usable at all. Once I shutdown and wait a few hours it becomes usable again... I think something is wrong with the monitor compared to everything I have seen online. Thoughts?
I have one of the original BraveHeart editions that I ordered in November 2019 that I wish to sell.
I originally intended to help in development but in January I changed jobs and moved home, and I just don't have time to contribute. It a shame to let the phone go to waste.
It is basically untouched. I opened the box and switched on the phone once. Since then it has stayed in its box. It still has the original testing OS installed (the main reason why it was only switched on once).
In total I paid around 185EUR or 210USD, which is device (150USD) + shipping (15USD) + customs (~40USD) + customs handling (~5USD).
I will sell it for 125EUR plus shipping, which is a nice discount. The only conditions are that you can send payment by SEPA bank transfer, and your delivery address is in one of the EU countries on this page https://www.ppl.cz/balikprotebe/ (English can be selected on top right).
I like my Pinebook Pro. I want to get a well-working OS on it. It came with the Debian image, and I liked that one. I tried the Manjaro OS, liked that, and installed it. That was straightforward: Flash SD with "Install to EMMC" option, then boot and follow the install prompts. But I have not been able to correct ... something. I get a lot of errors connecting to update software or install software. Following troubleshooting leads me to clear and re-update my mirror list, to clear and redownload keys, and it all leads nowhere. Or to a "Get better internet," which is not possible to me because my network connection is via phone hotspot. So...
I liked the Debian install. In theory I would use the Pine64 Installer, the "Debian Desktop Community Build Image [microSD to eMMC] by mrfixit2001" build, and pop the SD card into my wont-update Manjaro PBP, and it would be the same - Boot, follow prompts, done. But instead it only boots to Debian on the SD card. So. How do I get from this link (https://github.com/mrfixit2001/debian_de...226.img.xz) to some recent version of the Debian PBP OS installed on my EMMC? Is this a time to boot and DD it to the EMMC? I see the narration that "The Pine64 installer will set up an SD card to automagically install" but have not been able to. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
When I try to (say) run Pine64 Installer from an SD card in the PBP with intent to target the internal EMMC, I am not able to download the installer - "Disk Full." I can pursue moving it around to different partitions, but don't want to chase the wrong tree.
Here is what's not working for me: camera, gps, voice message (I can call, but can't hear), cellular data (option is greyed out).
First two is expected, I couldn't find much on the last two?
I've had the issue since getting the phone; I am now on the development branch.
Last question concerning updates; is there a difference between updates through the gui instead of apt-get (through terminal/ssh)? It does seem to be different (I can get further updates through apt-get).
I ahve 2 questions about the pinetab before I order it.
1)is it possible to run xfce on it?
2)will it always be upgradable to new operating systems?
The reason I ask is I have a perfectly good DragonTouch 10" tablet but it is perpetually stuck on Android 4.4. I hate the idea of having a decent tablet but it is impossible to keep it upgraded to the newest OS. I also have an old Samsung tablet and an old ipad. They all do the same thing! So stupid to have hardware that works fine but not be able to upgrade and then lots of the new apps aren't available on the older systems. Thank you.
He tried updating the firmware but to no avail - and like him I was under the impression that he latest batch of PBPs shipped with the latest firmware.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
BTW - to see if you are affected use
Code:
xev
Press the combinations above and see if the modified keys are registered.
I have a new PineBook Pro, and while very satisfied overall, I find that I cannot get the two finger tap to generate a right click.
Is it possible I have a bad trackpad or is this a common problem for the PBP? I'd gladly purchase a replacement part if others can confirm that their units reliably generate a right click.
