Lightbulb Are you like me and can never remember the privacy keys?
Posted by: jabo - 03-11-2020, 09:34 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

I can never remember which keys disabled what. So I used our label printer to print out icons for a "patch panel" on 1/4" black on yellow vinyl. Since space is tight on 1/4" labels icons were used. The phone means microphone (also F10 is directly under the right mic) the triangle has what looks like a wifi signal for F11 and for F12 is a video camera icon for you guessed it the camera. Smile

Next to the lights I made another "sticker" to let me know 2 blinks is enabled. Cause I can never remember that either.

Now I can't not remember! Sometimes my genius knows no bounds.


  Akregator in Manjaro
Posted by: wove - 03-11-2020, 09:30 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Overall Manjaro has worked fairly well. I was able to get printing working and sort out getting most of the KDE-PIM packages working. It seems to me those issues should be sorted out and working out of the box.

I have not been able to get Akregator working. It freezes up when I go to fetch feeds. And if I am using it inside Kontact, it freezes up Kontact as well. I have searched the web in general for solutions and used the Arch Wiki as well without finding anything relating to this problem.

If anyone has any ideas on a solution to get Akregator working in Manjaro for the Pinebook Pro I would appreciate some assistance.

thank you

  Linux reboot command dont' restart
Posted by: davide.duca - 03-11-2020, 08:06 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (2)

I have a problem with the Rockpro64.
 
I have used a microSD with ARMBIAN like a OS (Kernel 4.4.213-rockchip64) , and the board work good.
But when I try to restart the os with the command reboot of Linux, the os shutdown but it doesn't boot.
 
I must necessarily turn  off and turn on  the electricity, but this is not possible remotely.



The board is connected to:
- an ATX power supply; 
- PCI-E controller whit 6-port (with n.3 hdd  + 1 ssd )
- RTC Battery CR2032

do you have any suggestions?


  Best Solution to run a TvHeadend on Rock64?
Posted by: Tetterl - 03-11-2020, 03:21 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (17)

Hello community

I want use my Rock64 as TvHeadend.

What is the best image to do this?
I dont have experience with this.

I tried Libreelec, I seen to run unstable and slow, compared to my Odroid C2.
Android Images, I found only Android TV Images on download site, running Kodi even more slow.

So I stopped using the Rock64 for Kodi.

But I wrote that TvHeadend works well on Rock64.
I want to use it for IPTV and possible DVB S.

What is the most stable and fast Image to install/use TvHeadend?

Debian Stretch, Ubuntu or Libreelec?

I want to use it with Timeshift and recording on USB 3.0 HDD.
By the way, does the hardware allow transcoding?

I own a 64GB eMMC on a Rock64 v2.0

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

  LCD not working with Latest Buster
Posted by: chilicon - 03-10-2020, 02:09 PM - Forum: Linux on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (2)

Using the latest BUSTER DEBIAN version available as of today, the LCD does not work. Only HDMI even after adding the line
pine64_lcd=on
in the proper file (/boot/armbianEnv.txt).
How can one make the LCD work with that OS?


  New LCD Display for ROCK64Pro
Posted by: chilicon - 03-10-2020, 02:05 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

There are lots of 1920x1200 MIPI LCD with CTP available on the market.
Their pinout can easily be connected to that of the ROCK64Pro MIPI connectors via a simple board that would connect the proper pins together so from a HW point of view it is pretty straightforward.
My question is would it work straight out of the box or is there a need to modify the kernel or some initialization files to get a specific MIPI LCD screen to display with the ROCK64Pro.
Any help guiding towards what should be done from a SW point of view would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!


Shocked eMMC on Pinebook Pro
Posted by: decisivedove - 03-10-2020, 09:37 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (11)

Hi,
I was just curious to know whether eMMC chips not from PINE64 which are greater than 128 GB will work on the Pinebook Pro. 

Also, is there any way to dual boot 2 Linux distros (the default Debian and Manjaro) on the eMMC?


  Battery/Charging
Posted by: canadien666 - 03-10-2020, 07:58 AM - Forum: SailfishOS on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Anyone else have charging issues with SFOS on their BHs?  I'm running the latest SFOS image from a SD card.  The modem/phone/battery get VERY HOT when connected to various chargers.  So hot, the CPU shut down last night.  Tried using a Google Pixel charger, Amazon Kindle charger, OnePlus charger, both with Pine64 cable...  SFOS runs great on the BH, but this battery/charging issues is too much...  I have to pull the SD card w/SFOS and charge it while running UT off the eMMc.


  help!

Manjaro KDE. I was using sound converter to convert since wav to flac format. My pbp per light started flashing alternating red and green and now the system will not not at all into the nvme. I have to get data of off that nvme drive. Ideas?


I should be mose specific: I'm using the EMMC for Uboot and the root is on the NVME. I am able to boot into Chromium os. When I do the NVME drive is not recognized. I tried unsuccessfully to boot off of a Manjaro image on SD card. I'm going to try to boot off off Bionic on an SD card.

If anyone could chime in with ideas I would much appreciate it. There is data on that NVME that could cost me >$500 if lost.
