Hey!
I'm trying to install wlr-randr to change the screen resolution on my pinephone. I'm referring to this thread and the two provided links by "nas", which are related to debian + phosh
I cloned wlr-randr from github
installed build-base
then I run
meson build in thdisplay guidee /wlr-randr directory
but it quits with the following error:

Both pkg-config and cmake are installed on the system. I do not understand the error messages above concerning pkg-config, which, I assume, are the cause for the error:
Code: Pkg-config binary missing from cross or native file, or env var undefined.
Any idea?
Changing the screen resolution seems to be the only practical way to make application fit the screen. Even the open/save dialogs from PM OS' Core apps are too large (the display guide on the pmOs wiki did not solve the scaling problems for me and is only applicable for qt apps).

| DRM on Manjaro? |

Hi All,
I finally gave Manjaro Linux a try and I really like it so far. It seems a lot more stable than Debian was.
I have no more flickering of the screen, no more random reboots and it generally feels better, although maybe also a bit slower. But I don't know whether that's a fact or just my perception being wrong. 
What I did notice though is that the Spotify web player no longer works, while it did on Debian.
It asks for me to set the browser to accept secured content and I did so on both Chromium and Firefox but the browser just refuses to load the Spotify web player.
Also the dutch television streaming site NPO does not work anymore, and neither does Netflix. I looked it up and it seems that it doesn't work because Manjaro is a pure 64 bit OS while Debian ran 32 bit on a 64 bit environment. If I recall correctly Widevine is still to be made compatible with 64 the bit OS. But... spotify wouldn't need Widevine would it?
So my question is; Does anyone know how to get Spotify playing on my PBP now? Is there a work-around to get the protected video streaming?
Thanks for any answers!

| PineBook Pro Stemma QT connector for Hardware Hacking |

I’ve been working on shrinking the 21MB Manjaro kernel, mostly by disabling drivers for hardware you can’t easily install on a PBP, and once I’ve figured that all out I’ll put that up on the wiki.
However, that made me think about the plethora of little I2C sensors - IMUs, GPS, pressure, light - that are available now.
Stemma QT (https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-a...-stemma-qt) is a 4-pin JST SH (1.0mm pitch) connector, which exposes I2C. It’s possible to level-shift it so that one can safely plug in 5v and 3.3v hardware.
Putting one (or two, with one poking out a new hole in the case) on the audio daughtercard would allow the solderless addition of pretty much any I2C hardware, and thus increases the hackability of the PineBook Pro . . .
I’d buy a new audio daughterboard to add this functionality, because while I could trace the I2C bus and tap it it would be a pain and fragile. Having a proper connector makes adding a sensor or two almost easy, instead of terribly daunting.

Hello,
it seems I have ruined my SD card slot. I always had trouble getting the cards out, maybe I'm not skilled enough mechanically but now after many laborous attempts to get the card out the SD refuses to stay in the slot - it stays a few mm over the edge of of the opening. Is this fixable? Can I replace the daughterboard?
Why did nobody think of a nice eject button for those of us less skilled mechanically? I think my fingernails are at least a cm to short to eject this sd cards in any way gracefully.
Yours sincerely
Stefan, frustrated

| A64 Android 7.0 on Pine phone |

I received my pinephone a couple of days ago.
After having carefully unpacked the item, I wanted to check the factory tests, but the phone boot stubbornly on Android 7.0 and only on chinese language.
Further more, it is impossible so far to boot from a SD card with pine64-pinephone.img or ubuntu-touch-pinephoe.img ...
If somebody can tell me how to get rid of android 7.0, i would be extremely grateful.

| minimalist/no-pulseaudio sound |

Has anyone been using their PineBook Pro without PulseAudio or in some otherwise minimalist config and playing audio or videos with sound?
Have any interesting findings or discoveries to share?
I've got a minimalist-ish Debian install on mine with no PulseAudio (and no desktop-environment, just a window manager). I've managed to get sound working through headphones, but I've run into problems getting the builtin speakers to work that I haven't fully investigated yet.
When I run alsamixer or alsamixergui, I get an overwhelming display with over 30 different controls, some of which have level sliders and some of which seem to be on/off only. Most of them are somewhat cryptically labelled (at least for a
non-audio-geek like myself) I've found two different controls that (usefully) affect the volume of the headphones, but the one that is labelled "Speaker" is just an on/off control.
I wonder if I should expect/assume that this will get better in future versions of the kernel or the device-tree.

Hi everyone,
First time posting on this forum and completely new to single-board computing.
I have a lot of time on my hands due to college and work being cancelled due to COVID-19, so I ordered myself a PINE A64+ 2GB and it should arrive soon. Very excited to start messing around with it.
My intentions for this board are
>Initially use it as a chip flasher to flash coreboot onto the BIOS chip of my Thinkpad. All of the tutorials I have seen call for a Raspberry Pi but I don't see why the PINE64 shouldn't be able to do the job. Maybe I will write a tutorial if it goes well!
>I live in a collective house. I would like to turn this device into an internet-connected Nextcloud server that I could give an account to each of my housemates if they want it.
>I will also like to set up an instance of Mastodon for the users in the house.
I do wonder if I'm asking too much of this board, for it to be a Nextcloud server and Mastodon server at the same time? What do you think?
I'll let everyone know how I get on.
