Hi,

I've been messing around with my brand-new Pinebook Pro. I had an issue where KDE appeared to have died, so I force shutdown the laptop. After that, I could no longer log in - my password would get accepted, but it would hang on the progress bar after the password.

To try and work out what's going on, I dropped into tty2 (Ctrl + Alt + F2), but then I realised that things are seriously wrong - I would get segfaults running man. I force shut down the laptop again, and now I'm getting the power LED flashing.

I am fully aware that this is my fault (well, except the initial KDE blackout which I probably should have debugged more), however, does this mean that eMMC is now corrupted and the only solution is a reinstall?

Also, I don't know what the colours of the power LED are as I'm colourblind, but I'm certain people in the know understand what I'm talking about. I think the error codes should also possibly be on the wiki - I'm happy to add those there when I get a reply here.

I am running Danielt's wasp-os on my Pinetime.  Yesterday in the afternoon I set the correct year, month, day and time on the Pinetime. 

Last night at about 11:30 pm I checked the Pinetime and the date and time were correct, and the battery icon was yellow.

This morning I checked the Pinetime and the date (year, month and day) were correct but the time was wrong.  It said 08:48 and the actual time was 11:00 am.  The battery icon showed red.

I can understand the clock resetting if the battery gets too low, but I can't understand why the time would be wrong but the date is correct.

Any ideas?

i know that few if any have had their hands on one, but has there been any indication of what the actual operating time should be?

As I tell my son on a regular basis, if we had focused a fraction of our time on battery life that we have on doubling cpu numbers we'd charge our cars for 1 hour 1 day a year and drive wherever we wanted.....

I just bought a Chuwi Hi10x and he operating time is good but not great

Hi,

I received my new PineBook Pro yesterday, and can't wait to get stuck in and put it to work. Apologies if this question has been answered somewhere already, I did have a look around and couldn't find a definite answer.

The new PineBook has Manjaro 20.04 installed by default on the EMMC. This works great. The issue comes when I try and boot from SD card. Every image that I've attempted to boot from SD so far has resulted in a black screen, although I'm fairly certain that the system has booted as on some images I hear the startup sound/chime, so it looks like a display/graphics issue. I've tried different SD cards, including ones that I know work on other SBCs. And I've tried several images so far:

• aryufans bionic and focal images
  
• armbian
  
• Manjaro 20.04
  

Hi,

I am very pleased with my Pinebook Pro.

However it seems my screen has some really nasty offset resulting in a two-millimeter black bar at the left-hand side and the bottom and some pixels vanishing at the top and the right-hand side (see attached files).

The screen seems to be glued-in so I guess my only chance is to "unglue" it, try to move the screen and then somehow glue it back!?

Does anybody else have this offset?

Cheers,

Yann

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.

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:
