I originally thought my device was damaged on delivery as the screen was stuttering on any image I flashed, but recent images have stopped that now I just have lines running vertically across the screen. I tried different systems(postmarketOS, Arch, Manjaro, Fedora) with the same results.  Any idea to what configurations could be causing this if it is software, I have been using X11 for 20 some odd years but Wayland is something I am not too familiar with. Currently booting off of SDCard with the build from March 26th though I don't imagine EMMC or SD would have any effect on this. Also as a side note if it is a HW short of somekind any idea what it would be and how to go about fixing it?

Was unable to upload a photo for some reason so here is a link to the ubports post I made with a photo in it

Hello

Please consider the following for the registration form:

1. to directly show when a password entered is too long. There is a message shown when the two boxes don't match, so why do I have to click submit (and again deal with that reCaptcha Google *insertswearwordshere*) to find out that it's too long?!
   
2. please consider switching from reCaptcha to e.g. hcaptcha
   

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing OK and staying safe in their respective lock downs!

I'm having a strange issue with the latest ubports image: it wont boot.

• With the UBPorts SD card in I am just not able to boot the phone at all, either plugged in to power or not.
  
• Sometimes after pressing and holding power there is brief white/green flash of the status LED.
  
• Confirmed that battery had charge by booting PMOS on another SD card.
  
• Reproduced the same issue by writing the same UBPorts image to the known working SD card.

 Hello Pine64,

The Pine Store has a listing for replacement back covers for the Pinephone,

BUT they are "Out of Stock"  

Complete phones are on open 'Pre-order status'  so there must be a factory making these covers.

I have been extra careful opening my phone, but after opening it so many times it has finally cracked on me.

I am not blaming anybody,  but I DO wish to purchase one or two replacements,   P L E A S E   !

A response here on the forum may save a lot of emails to and from the store.

Thank You

Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice with regards to controlling a relay from a web page. 

I am familiar with using the RPi.GPIO to control the actual relay(s) on the pine64.

What I am confused about it how to have the web page button onClick event send the python code to the pine64.
Does html have an event or method "onClick" or is this only available using javascript?

Would I create a html (PHP) webpage  add a button, then have a cgi script run the python RPi.GPIO code?

I'm trying to come up with the right strategy of how to go about this so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Dave

What's the current state of the art for getting Netflix running on various distros, (especially Manjaro)?

If anyone has a reproducible procedure, maybe we can make it public here?

Hi all.

In this new time of video conferencing I have tried Jitsi Meet.

Jitsi is an open source decentralised video conferencing software for the browser or apps. Also it is free and several good people offer their Jitsi Server to the public. However the official one also works ok.

On the PBP you previously needed a Chromium  browser oner one of it's siblings to use Jitsi, but just now I noticed that Firefox now recognises the camera as well and it works.

In Firefox when accepting the permissions I have selected the USB Camera from the list, not the pre-selected one.

If you  have chosen a camera from the list that does not work, close the meeting and reopen it, you will be asked for permissions again and then you can choose the USB Camera. If you have saved the permissions you need to delete the permission for the camera in the preferences first.

The CPU load is quite high for both browsers though, but it works. Sometimes there are hick-ups, but overall it works.

How is your experience ?

Hi.

Is there any chance to offer markdown as a format for the forum posts?
Maybe it is possible to add that when the forum migrates to the new RockPro64 cluster ?

Hello everybody,

first of all a HUGE thank you to everybody who works on PostmarketOS! That is an amazing project and I see really stunning things happening.

But one thing I have notices when I compare it to the Debian + Phosh version (which you can find in another forum thread) is that they were able to adjust the form factor for many things almost ideally. Especially in Firefox this is huge, but also in other apps. 

Is there a way to collaborate a bit with them on this issue to just to "borrow" some code from them?

Best,
Thomas
