I'm new to the Pinebook Pro. I bought a used one a few days ago. I decided to update to Manjaro; no problem. Now I'd like to re-install using
Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-20.04-emmc-installer-20.04.img

When I insert the SD and power cycle, it wouldn't boot. I thought that maybe I needed to install the original software and then try. I couldn't boot the original SD.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I received my PBP today, and just trying out all the features, but for some reason I can't get the built-in webcam to work.

I've tried Kamoso and Cheese - cheese outputs this "cheese-application.vala:214: Error during camera setup: No device found"

Under the /dev/ there is /dev/video0, /dev/video1, /dev/video2. Using that, I've tried smplayer /dev/video0 as well as video1 and video2, but nothing shows.

I've also checked that the webcam is enabled (double flash from [Pine]+[F12]).

Can someone help me diagnose this please?

So...just curious, anyone have details on the next SBC?

With the new 8GB RP I figured Pine would follow up?

I was fed up with the volume keys not working in Phosh, so I set up actkbd to control them.

2. Untar the downloaded file

Hello, I just received my Pinebook Pro yesterday which is the latest Manjaro branded version using the most current Manjaro ARM KDE 20.04 release. I finally finished installing & configuring all of my software/settings and thought I would test the machine - everything seems to work fine except SLEEP! (I also have a thread open about this issue on Manjaro forums since I'm not sure which would be the better place)

I have researched online and see a few others have encountered similar issues, but I wasn't able to find a fix that worked for me. Also, I haven't made any configuration changes or messed with suspend modes - I am fine with using s2idle, just want the screen to shut off and sleep when I close the laptop lid!

The crux of the issue is that the laptop starts to go to sleep, then it wakes immediately after - whether closing the lid, pressing the power button and choosing "sleep", or typing into terminal: "systemctl suspend". Long story short, it appears that either the dwmmc_rockchip [fe310000.mmc: pre_suspend failed for non-removable host: -38], or Device ff9a0000.gpu [failed to suspend: error -16] are causing the machine to abort going to sleep. Attached are the full logs:

Hello there,

I just received my PineBook Pro today. I noticed that the wlan0 device is missing. I try the kill switch a couple of times like I red on other threads, but unsuccessfully.

inxi -Fxz gives out for Network: Message: No ARM data found for this feature.

Any suggestion?

Hi Pine64 Community!


Just received my Pinebook Pro, and I am very excited. I just looked at the thread saying that the privacy switch for WiFi left the factory engaged, however, after disabling it and rebooting Manjaro is still not able to sniff out any available WiFi around my home. How do I address this problem?

Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone !

I just received my pinebook pro today and its a wonderful device but still, I encountered some problems.
The most annoying of those being that KWin keeps crashing, randomly it seems, but almost always when I open or close a window, most of the time it seems to manage to restart itself but sometimes it does not and I am forced to reboot and it's getting really annoying
I was wondering if other people came across the same kind of bug

(by the way I kept the manjaro kde stock installation)

Hi

Quick question about the kill-switches,
The Wiki says 3) Microphone: On enables audio input from on-board microphones (not 3.5mm jack), off disables.


Does that mean, if switch 5 (Headphone: On enables audio input and output via the 3.5mm audio jack, off switches the jack to hardware UART mode) is active and switch 3 is off, it will only allow audio in/out via 3.5mm? Or am I misunderstanding this?

Just got a pinebook pro. Having trouble setting up wifi.

"Network" applet on taskbar does not show wireless device.
"Network Interfaces" does not show wireless device.
Setting up a wi-fi connection in "Connections" does not present any error messages.
