Hello everybody,

just received my pinebookpro yesterday: a rapid glance at the default OS: all works well.

Then I installed Manjaro ARM KDE edition 20.02.1 with the emmc installer. Everythin is OK, but after a shutdown the new system doesn't start.

Here's what I do:

• push the start button
  
• the led turns orange for a while
  
• becomes green but nothing happens: the screen is black.
  

Magic lamp and all other window effects are not working in Manjaro KDE. Cube Desktop and Wobbly windows are working, however.

Anyone else with Manjaro KDE experiencing the same issue?

Curious to know if anyone has gotten snap quake-shareware to work on the PBP and if so, how?
It starts fine, runs smooth, but there are major texture/graphical glitches.

I received my heavily anticipated PBP on Monday. I've had a great time learning about ROCK64 and the differences needed to work on this platform vs x86 and x64

I've followed a few guides and tested out a few of the images (Debian, Bionic Mate, Manjaro). I have Manjaro currently loaded on eMMC. I'd like to continue to test other images via SD cards. 

I loaded the Chromium image on a known working card with the PBP and used Etcher to write the image. It appeared to load fine but no internal display. Video output was not there. I had a similar issue when tested the Bionic Mate image and found that if I connected to a monitor via USBC I would get a display there but not on the internal laptop. Same issue with Chromium. 

Is there a known issue when switching between images and boot options where the internal display does not function? 

Thanks all, Great community here.

Hi,

I'm trying to update my Manjaro install and I'm hitting errors trying to connect to "manjaro-arm.ericlay.online".  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi

The PBP was delivered with a Debian system pre-installed, but I'm unsure which it is from the 'Partner Projects' menu on the main website- or is it not listed there?

I read somewhere that Debian allows for FDE on PBP, is this correct ?

Hi,


Just got my Rock64 v2 1GB ram yesterday, and I failed installing OpenBSD, just because the Ethernet not working.

This was my first time dealing with a series connection, it went fine, until when actual installing, it stuck at not being able to downloading anything through network.

The Rock64 actually got an IP address from DHCP ant it seemed fine, the ethernet just didn't transfer.

I was using the steps from OpenBSD mailing list as follow:

dd if=miniroot66.fs of=/dev/rsd2c bs=1m

mount /dev/sd2i /mnt
mkdir /mnt/rockchip
cp /usr/local/share/dtb/arm64/rockchip/rk3328-rock64.dtb /mnt/rockchip
umount /mnt

dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/rock64-rk3328/idbloader.img of=/dev/sd2c bs=512 seek=64 conv=sync
dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/rock64-rk3328/u-boot.itb of=/dev/sd2c bs=512 seek=16384 conv=sync

It worked until failed to use the Ethernet to download data. How do I do to make it work?

Is suspend and resume working on the opensuse xfce build on the pinebook pro? The install instructions imply that it is.

When I close the lid, the system "seems" to move to a suspend (e.g., journalctl indicates (PM: suspend entry), the power light stays on). But I haven't figured out the trigger to have the laptop come back to life. It would certainly be helpful to be able to restore since the boot up on the opensuse builds is very slow.

Hi,

something weird happened with my PBP. I've had an issue with Manjaro repositories which I wanted to solve by reflashing it. I've plugged in SD card with the stock debian, and happily dd-ed a compressed file instead of using Etcher or something. After a reboot attempt, PBP didn't turn on. To be more precise: there's a total lack of reaction for pressing the "Power on" button. No LED blinking/turning on, nothing.

What I've tried:
- booting from SD card with said Debian
- charging it up a bit
- turning eMMc off
- pressing the reset&recovery buttons located next to eMMc
- reflashing the eMMc with various images

Nothing changed. I press the button, LED's don't turn on.

Any advice?

I'm a new owner of an ANSI PBP (delivered late on Monday) and have used it maybe for 4 hours total.   I replaced the original Debian image on eMMC with Manjaro XFCE immediately upon first boot.

Today I noticed that the "X" key on the keyboard is not working.  I'm not certain if the key has ever worked, but at the moment it doesn't seem to register either in the GUI or on Linux console. I have confirmed the keyboard is configure for ANSI / US layout.

As far as I can tell, all of the other keys work as expected, with the exception of the X key. 

Has anyone else experienced similar?  I'm wanting to try to troubleshoot this in case it is an easy fix, if possible, before opening an official support ticket.
