Added support for StarFive JH7110 (VisionFive 2), you can try the images. The Star64 board cannot be delivered now, so there is no way to test it.

Release information.

Added support for Star64 and PineTabV

Hello

I have quite a big challenge (for me).

Well, a few years ago I wrote an application in Python and TKinter. It ran without issue on a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ under an X11 display server.
I set it to run on startup and take up the full screen.
The user did not have access to the installed system and could not close my application.
I created an interface for WiFi, sound, system shutdown, etc. All settings were in my application.
Nothing could be installed or uninstalled. This is how it was supposed to be. Just my app.

Now I would like to transfer all this to PinePhone.
I added XWayland, all the necessary libraries and finally the application started.

It works fine, but there is one big problem.
Full screen not working properly. The two bars in Phosh (bottom and top) are still visible.
A user can go into the system and kill my application, add another one of their own, etc.
This is undesirable for this application.

And now the questions:

How do I disable these two system bars at the top and bottom?
If this can't be done, how do I install a clean Mobian/Debian and X11 server so that I can run my application?
I hope it runs and she's the only one on screen.
How do I run my application on device startup?

I am asking for help because I am a beginner in Linux and PinePhone.

After wasting countless hours  trying different OS variants for the RockPro64, it's clear that, for someone without a coding background, the process of installing and using a stable or fully functional Linux version is a nightmare! It's mind-boggling how needlessly and frustrating this task is, especially in this day and age when user-friendliness should be a basic expectation. It's an absolute disappointment and a source of pure frustration! 
 I'm sorry for expressing this, but I felt the need to share it before I throw mine in the trash.

I tried to dd the Mobian image as I've done with Rhino to the internal flash of the Pinetab Pro.

After this the tab doesn't seem to start anymore. It didn't boot from the emmc, nor will it boot from SD.

What should I do to get things up and running again?

Hello all!

I am currently debugging why my RockPro64 is failing to boot. I am connected via UART, and I appear to be stuck trying to grab some `boot.scr.uimg` file from the network. This happens even if I don't have an SD card inserted into the SBC, so I imagine it's something fundamentally broken.  The output is:

Basically just wondering if it would be possible to replace parts in the Pinebook Pro with parts from a newer model, assuming one will even exist. Specifically the main board. I imagine a new laptop using the Quartz64 board is inevitable.

Hey all. I have a PPP and I am running Mobian Trixie + Phosh. I have GNOME Snapshot installed via Flatpak, and I have PipeWire set up as the system audio daemon.

GNOME Snapshot works quite well right after booting, but after suspending the output in snapshot is blank.

Now, I want to debug this, but I haven't found any leads. I am more than happy to get my hands dirty. I tried searching for this issue on Google a few times, but either Google fails me, or it seems there is not much written about this issue. I can see that PPP camera goes through Pipewire and libcamera, but I don't see any obvious issues from the Pipewire PoV and restarting the Pipewire daemon does not help.

Anyone know what I can do here? Again, happy to get my hands dirty, but I am having a bit of difficulty finding threads to pull on.

in my trial postmarket gnome system, the app software does not work. Any hints on how to make this run, or are we working with terminal here?

Has anyone been able to solve this?
I'm using Arch Linux Plasma on the PPP and everything is perfect except no onscreen keyboard in Libreoffice. I have installed the compatibility package KDE integration for Libreoffice and still no luck. I have also noticed that Libreoffice as a favorite in Folio screen will not stay after reboot. The original install of Arch Plasma works fine and Libreoffice has an onscreen keyboard which is the Suru version with all the themes. After a major update that Suru keyboard is replaced by Maliit and the onscreen keyboard no longer functions in Libreoffice. Onscreen keyboard works every where else. I have also tried Onboard and no luck there either.
Any idea's?

Hello together,
is there any option to calibrate the gps hardware, or to enter something like "correction value"?

I own two Pinephone64 3MB devices, that I bought about begin of 2020.
From day one, both devices showed my GPS position wrong. After some time of warmup, they find that, what they think is my position and show it in the map. However. the position is always about 300 ft south west my real position. 

This error does not change over time (after more warmup), not from distro to distro and not from version to version.
It is not related to my actual position. It seems not to be related to the devices regional settings.

As I was very unsatisfied by other Pinephone / Mobile Linux features, I let it go, hoping, this would be a bug, someone else would report.
Am I missing anything?
Best regards
Frytz
