Hi guys just got my new PineBook pro and some how i installed the wrong language, i managed to get some of the local settings in English but others still show up in the other one. I am new to manjaro and pine book. my question is can I change the default language settings for the whole system from the terminal? if so do i need to install a package first ? All my experince with linux is with ubuntu. Next question is there a way to factory reset the systen or would i be looking at a fresh install? any help would be great

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum - received my phinephone community ed. today and started playing around.
I previously collected experience using the BQ Aquaris M10 running Ubuntu Touch.

I tried to get wifi up and running on my pinephone but I failed.
I see several networks besides my own network. ifconfig and iwconfig shows the wlan0 device (unassociated) and I got prompted for the passphrase (so I think HW is okay, kernel modules are loaded). However after pressing connect nothing happened.
All prerequisites mentioned in the general FAQ thread in this forum are fulfilled. I also rebooted and entered the passphrase again. No effect. I very carefully checked my input to avoid typos while entering the passphrase.
 
Ubuntu Touch is the FACTORY version. 
My AC runs 11b/g/n - using Channel 12 (Germany) WPA2, PSK, AES

Does anyone else encounter the same problem? Maybe it's an auth problem? Does it make sense to edit config files manually to force connecting?


Thanks a million for your advice/hints!

I discovered I have a Wifi Remote I2c (PMWF01A) fresh in a box, and I can't figure out what it should be used for.
Is it a remote device for sensing, or a remote WiFi expander, or ??
What would one use it for?

The measurements are standard, right? So would any PC case work?

Hi all,

my Pinephone UBPorts Ed. has arrived today.
I tried to check the camera with the app built-in, but the screen stays black!
Maybe it is a stupid question, but: Is there a hint to activate it?
The hardware switches in the inside of the phone are all in the state of delivery, I have not changed anything.

Regards
Udo

Actually very rarely. I have to reboot several times (5-7 times) with a hard reboot by depressing the power switch for 10 seconds or so, before it will attempt to boot once. The screen remains off (I can tell when the backlighting is on or off), in those cases when it does not boot. Both Manjaro and Debian boot fine from the microSD card. I did reflash the emmc with the 20.04 version of Marjaro from the OSDN.net site, but the problem persists. My PBP is from the latest (May 2020) batch, with the Manjaro pre-install, which I have since reflashed. It behaved the same both with the preinstalled distro and after reflashing the emmc.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

When plugged into my laptop my computer doesn't show that there is a device connected. My Pinephone is working fine, and charging when plugged into the laptop but not able to connect to transfer files or anything.

Hoping this is right place to post this

community edition

upgraded to version 2 (stable)
antenna closest to the camera is smaller
led has an extra opening
sim adapter included
loaded up some apps and playing/testing now


no taxes ,asked for

Will the headset jack on the PBP work with combined mic/headsets? The wiki seems to say it should, but so far it doesn't for me. Using Manjaro, have tried two different headsets which work on other machines. Headset function works, but mic does not. The mic privacy switch is set to enabled, and the built-in mics are working (with the reported whine, of course). USB mic also works.

As my PinePhone should arrive in a few days I thought now would be a good time to compile my own UBPorts image.

However, I couldn't find any working build guide for compiling your own images. I mainly want to experiment with kernels so I'm not sure I'd need to compile everything, but having a general idea on the build process should help in case I'd need it.

I've tried following https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/rootfs-builder-debos but that didn't get me very far. All I get is this:
