I don't know if everybody here is aware of these SailfishOS collaboration meetings so I thought I post this here. The following is from a meeting that took place on 19.03.2020:



09:06:53 <Jaymzz> #topic Official support for PinePhone and Xperia 10 || (5 min – asked by cquence)
09:07:05 <Jaymzz> #info Is there any information you can share with regards to these 2 devices and getting official Sailfish OS images for them?
09:07:12 <Jaymzz> And here comes the answer
09:07:25 <Jaymzz> #info We are currently looking the next possibilities for Sailfish X devices. Requirements for a new device in general is availability for the community and enough openness by the vendor to allow providing an image to the device, similar to what we have done with Sony devices in the past. The mentioned devices are both potential candidates, but currently we can not confirm any plans.
09:07:37 <Jaymzz> #info If you have alternative in mind in addition to the mentioned two devices feedback welcome.
09:08:15 <pasik> #info pasik, community
09:08:31 <Jaymzz> I don't see cquence online. Does anyone have anything to add? Otherwise we shall move on in a minute
09:08:47 <Nico[m]> Well, my favourites are the 2 mentioned devices
09:08:48 <leszek> Xperia 1 flagship device with SailfishX would be cool
09:09:00 <Jaymzz> for sure
09:09:31 <leszek> also could mean some effort will be put into the camera app which is very weak
09:10:00 <flypig> #info David Llewellyn-Jones - late sailor @ Jolla
09:10:02 <M4rtinK> yeah, I don't think is is possible to ingore that anymore
09:10:18 <bionade24> Jaymzz: So it's officially that Pine64 sent you some devices and Jolla evaluates to support them?
09:10:24 <pm-guest> some news on upcomming devices from OMP/Russian providers?
09:10:27 <vknecht> official support for Tama devices ? (XZ2 etc.)
09:10:48 <ApBBB> vknecht if you have bugs report them on github
09:11:05 <Jaymzz> bionade24: Where did you get that info from?
09:11:12 <bionade24> Jaymzz: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...2#pid62012
09:11:36 <veskuh_web> pm-guest We can't comment on customer device plans.
09:11:51 <Jaymzz> bionade24: can't really comment on that yet actually But stay tuned!

Hi,

I have a rockpro64 board and I was booting up till now with micro SD card.
Today I was not able to push the microSD card in slot by the usual spring.
What I see that after applying power no white/red leds are on.
I updated the armbian image from the one on armbian website but no luck.

Is there anyway I can boot from USB ?

-Thanks

Hello everyone,

my first name is Steve. I come from Belgium but i live in the Reunion island, a very beautifull and tropical island in the indian ocean (between Maurice island and Madagascar).

So, actually, i'm infographist who use free and open source softwares (The Gimp, Inskcape, Scribus,...) since 2008. So, i think my working with that is a reason to do professional design with FLOSS software are possible.

I have PMOS installed on my device, and can play sound (with mpv, for example) thru speakers, earpiece, and headphone jack, and make a voice call by sending "ATD". However, i can't figure out how to connect the modem audio. I have been following this guide, including using the included audio routing setup utility, but when i call a test number (for example: 1-800-437-7950) hear no sound — neither ringback nor sound from the other party.

I look at alsamixer and am daunted at the number of knobs. I've been viewing the diagram in aforesaid guide, but it's not helping me figure out which switch values in alsamixer mean which paths in the schematic.

"alsactl -L store" output

I am on T-Mobile in North America.

How can i route audio between the modem and mic/earpiece/etc?

Hi all,
 
As an existing owner of Pine64s and a Rock64, I have finally decided to take the plunge with a RockPro64.  It is on its way, and I am pondering OSes.  As I recall, original Pine64 and Rock64 builds were a bit mixed and so I wanted to reach out to ask the experts about the build that I should consider. (I have the most experience with Ubuntu/Armbian, and my use case is a headless Linux server using a minimal distribution.)  My current ideas are:
 
Ubuntu 18.04
Armbian
DietPi
 
What do you folks think of these?  Is one better than the others from a reliability on the RPro standpoint? Is there anything else that I should consider?
 
TIA                   

Anybody have a dead main board? I'm planning on swapping out the EG25 modem chip for an EC25-AF modem chip I have and need a board to practice with.

My Pinebook Pro currently has six cracks. The first ones to appear were the ones around the usb ports and power port. Then came the cracks on the body of the PBP when I forgot to put the spacers back in. Unfortunately, things got a lot worse a few days ago. I shifted my grip on my PBP to one hand on the left side for 10 seconds, and suddenly a new crack appeared on the top left of the keyboard. Now even with super glue the whole left side next to the display hinge bends every time I open and close my Pinebook Pro! I am scared even to close it again! Suggestions, anybody?! Except for this whole crack thing I have really been loving my PBP, but it might be time to say goodbye...

I'm not really excited by ordering through Ubports. What's the timeline we're looking at for a non-Ubuntu branded release version of the PinePhone?

Dear all,
We are the developers of Clonezilla (https://clonezilla.org). Recently we have created Clonezilla live arm64 release, and would like to invite you to give it a try on RockPro64. Clonezilla is free and open source software for disk imaging and cloning.

How to use it:
1. First, follow this to flash U-Boot to SPI:
   https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/wiki/...oot-to-SPI
   We have tested the release rockpro64 u-boot v2020.01-ci work for booting Clonezilla live from USB flash drive.

2. Download Clonezilla live from
   http://free.nchc.org.tw/clonezilla-live/...ental/arm/
   The Ubuntu-based release, e.g., clonezilla-live-20200414-focal-arm64.zip which we have tested OK on Rockpro64.

3. Create a FAT32 partition on your USB flash drive, then mount it, e.g.,
   pmount /dev/sde1 /media/disk
   unzip clonezilla-live-20200414-focal-arm64.zip -d /media/disk
   pumount /media/disk

4. Insert the USB flash drive on your Rockpro64, then boot it. Remember to set the it to boot from USB device.
   i.e., when you see:
   Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
   Press any key, then type:
   => setenv boot_targets usb0
   => boot
   If all goes well, you should be able to see the Clonezilla live boot menu.

5. In the 1st item of grub boot menu, edit the boot parameter by pressing "e",
   append "ocs_live_run_tty=/dev/ttyS2", so that the Clonezilla main menu will be shown in the serial console.
   e.g.,
   linux /live/vmlinuz boot=live union=overlay quiet components noswap edd=on nomodeset enforcing=0 noeject locales=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=en ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch="no" vga=788 ip= net.ifnames=0  splash i915.blacklist=yes radeonhd.blacklist=yes nouveau.blacklist=yes vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1 ocs_live_run_tty=/dev/ttyS2
   Of course, the serial console device name has to match your environment. Then press Ctrl-x to boot it.

6. Wait a while, and you should be able to see the main menu of Clonezilla live, then you can save your disk as an image, restore the image, or clone the disks. More docs are available on Clonezilla website:
   https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live-doc.php

Hi everybody

I do not succeed in enabling location services on my pinephone.
I followed
https://docs.ubports.com/fr/latest/userg...ation.html
But location quick settings freeze up and settings in system settings apps does not work.
(Even if "using GPS" is enable)


Does anybody knows if there is another way to enable location services through command line for instance ?

Thank you for attention.
