hello everyone and sorry my bad english, I installed the Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LXDE Desktop version on Rock64 and it works but not the remote control, I installed both Teamviewer Host and Anydesk but neither of them starts, is there any solution?

I'm new to Linux :-) thanks

Hello,

Apparently I have a PinePhone with a faulty microphone (or some component on which the microphone depends on) - it never worked.

A few days ago, I have found out that the audio routing for the phone calls is finally working. I downloaded and imaged the SD card with the latest build of Ubuntu Touch (at that time #307) and made a call to my Mrs. I could hear her in the PinePhone's earpiece but she couldn't hear me. Then I tried with a pair of headphones with the microphone on the wire. This worked - I could hear her and she could hear me.

I have re-imaged the micro-SD card with other distros: Debian with Phosh, Manjaro, and a couple of other Ubuntu Touch builds, including #318.

I have also turned on and off the kill-switch for the microphone (3) - it made no difference.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any feedback?

Thank you,

Hi All: Here's a proposed plan for supporting PineTime firmware updates over Bluetooth LE. If you're a firmware developer, please take a look...

https://lupyuen.github.io/pinetime-rust-...ticles/dfu

It covers everything we need to do to implement firmware updates in our firmware: Bootloader, Bluetooth Stack, Firmware Rollback, Flash ROM Layout, Firmware Format, Mobile Apps, ...

We need to adopt a common mechanism for firmware updates if we wish to allow PineTime Owners to switch firmware easily. It's more work for us developers... But it's a huge benefit for PineTime Owners!

Please lemme know what you think... While writing this article I have received really good feedback from firmware developers. Their suggestions have been documented in the "Upcoming Enhancements" section.

The most serious limitation in the proposed design is that the firmware size must not exceed 232 KB. Hence there will be an upcoming enhancement to increase this limit (by moving the Standby Firmware Image to External SPI Flash).

Thanks everyone for the awesome work on PineTime... Now let's make PineTime fun and easy to learn and explore! :-)

I'm a beginner with Linux so please understand my skills are quite limited for the moment.

I wish to install Open Store so I installed PackageKit

Hi all,

I'm looking for some assistance please, I received my RockPro64 (+NAS case, fan, heat sink, 2xSATA board, Pine power supply) and set everything up, using ayufan's OMV images, and everything worked great. Up and running in about 1 hour (including putting the fan in the wrong place/orientation 3 times).

However, after shutting down in linux, moving it to my server cab and trying to boot again, I am no longer able to get my device to run. I don't get into Linux, I get a stack trace, after which the device reboots, but then does not power on again (I have to remove the power in order to then boot again).

I have removed all devices, so I'm running with just the board, USB keyboard and DVI connected to my display (I've just tried removing the network connection) but get the same results each time.

I've used both the armhf and the arm64 variants on the same SD card.

I am a programmer, but my embedded days were limited and a long time ago.. Can anyone offer advice on how to investigate further? Do I need to go the UART route, or am I best trying to return my board?

Thanks

I'm new to owning a SBC (Rock64) and new to OMV.
Installed ayufan's stretch-openmediavault-rock64-0.9.14-1159-armhf and am able to get around on it ok.

I have a previously partitioned USB 3TB External HD. It has a ~500GB encrypted CCC partition, a ~500GB partition for Time Machine, and the remaining 2GB I would like to keep as storage for Photos and Music, etc.

The filesystems are HFS plus. The encrypted partition can't be seen by OMV file systems.

I ran these:
apt-get install hfsplus hfsutils hfsprogs
mkdir /media/hfs
mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdXY /media/hfs

I am able to create Shared SMB folders and access my photos. Spent a few hours on the TM partition with no luck though. Problems when adding a shared folder:

Failed to set file group to 'users' for '/srv/dev-disk-by-label-TMRock64/'
Error #0:
OMV\Exception: Failed to set file group to 'users' for '/srv/dev-disk-by-label-TMRock64/': in /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/sharemgmt.inc:341
Stack trace:

#3 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(537): OMV\Rpc\Rpc::call('ShareMgmt', 'set', Array, Array, 1)
#4 {main}

Although it will let me apply that, as if there was no error...

I can add the newly shared folder to Apple Filing and set user permission, but then I get this error when I try to setup the new TM on my mac
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)

OR I will get this

You do not have the necessary read, write and append privileges on the selected network backup disk.

Is the problem the HFSplus? I tried deleting the partition to format it on OMV but then it disappeared on OMV, I could only recreate it on the mac. I've also tried reinstalling OMV.

I can reconfigure the disk with different partitions if needed, I just would like to know what those should be before going through the process.

Any Ideas? Thanks

This person says avoid HFS+
permissions problem with share on HFS+ drive

In October, another post hinted at the arrival of a redesigned NVMe adaptor?
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8117

Does anyone have any idea when this might arrive? I still have the old adaptor that can't be used without obstructing the trackpad's click functionality.

This is an addition  to the myriad of PineTime efforts: a Zephyr-based firmware focused on low power consumption and 100 % Free Software adherence.

It does not have as many features as some of the other projects but we hope to get there one day. Here is were we stand at the time of writing:

• 100 % Free Software
  
• Low power consumption: 1.38 mA in idle mode (1.28 mA with the heart rate sensor disconnected), which gives a battery life of more than five days.
  
• Battery status: get state of charge and whether it's charging
  
• Clock: accurately increment current time
  
• Button: press to start time synchronization with Bluetooth-connected device
  
• Touch sensor: tap to light up the display
  
• Graphics: show background image, time, date, battery and Bluetooth status using LittlevGL
  
• Optional debug output via JLink RTT
  

Hi, I installed the latest image on my braveheart pine phone and it looks much more polished but I am still seeing the battery last 6 to 7 hours. I don't know if it connected to the battery issue but I can feel the back of the phone just below the camera (still not working right) lens as being warm.

Does anyine have any idea what the reason for this might be?

Thanks

I found that the plug overmold conflicts with the back cover when using the cable with a short plug (6.6mm). It charges the phone, but the retention mechanism is loose and the cable falls out when it swings.

According to Universal Serial Bus Type-C Cable and Connector Specification Release 2.0 page 46, the minimum length of the type-c plug is 6.51mm, so PinePhone should accept this cable.

FYI the Type-C specification recommends >=0.05mm clearance between the exterior surface of the product and plug overmold.
