I'm looking into changing my current NAS setup which is a 1GB rock64 running nextcloupi and plex media server, with a 1TB usb drive as my main drive and another 1TB drive as a mirror of the first.  I was considering building a dedicated FreeNAS setup, but I had abandoned a similar project 7 years ago due to the size and power consumption of full size motherboard in favor of a raspberry pi(which I upgraded serveral times until switching to a rock64 board).  Is anyone running OMV on a rock64 with the plex media server plugin installed.  I'm looking at OMV to simplify my current backup scheme.  I run rsync on a cronjob to mirror my main drive to my backup drive, but since switching over to my rock64 my rsync doesn't work correctly.  Would I be able to run OMV and plex on a 1GB board or would I need a 2 or 4GB board?  My plan is to keep my current nextcloud instance running as is except i'd move plex to my OMV board and back up everything to OMV.  Thanks for any input.

If you're looking for a nextcloud client for Ubuntu Mate, here's a (near) automated build process

It's worked well on both of my PBP's.

So I accidentally spilled a cup of joe smack dab on my PBP's laptop like a clumsy moron.  I immediately shut the machine down and pulled power.  Then I opened the system up to dry anything out by hand and let it sit and dry for 48 hours before putting back together.

I'm mainly using Manjaro via SD card but will probably move off a card for performance reasons.

My busted keyboard will sporadically type of 7's and then stop.  Is there an easy way to disable the internal keyboard in the settings?  Quick searches didn't yield any answers on first glance.

I'm also assuming that there are no parts available to replace a broken keyboard and that I'm SOL.

Sorry, if this is a basic question as I'm basically a Linux desktop noob.

Thanks!

I got two rock64 from amazon.

The first one works with every thing I put on .  (Unbuttu, Android , denbian stretch buster, etc..)

The second one crash all the times!  the only version which works with this one is 
bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.40-226-arm64.img.xz

Nothing from the Pine installer works. What am I missing?

this is the serial boot from the second rock64 

I've been playing around with my new Lexar M.2 drive and while my results aren't by any means scientific, I thought they might still be of interest to others.  All of these observations are specific to this one drive, on my PBP, running the default OS.

Lexar bills the drive as "ideal for smaller notebooks" and "an entry-level PCIe NVMe", and so far I think the description fits.  The three active power options for the drive are:

PS 0: 3.05W
PS 1: 2.44W
PS 2: 2.02W

The full power state information returned by the drive to nvme-cli is:

Quote:ps    0 : mp:3.05W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:0 rrl:0
          rwt:0 rwl:0 idle_power:- active_power:-

Just a simpel unboxing for those who are curious.

Hi,
I seen a post somewhere that Sailfish is no longer supported. Is Nemo the OS that took over the open source portion of Sailfish?

I received my PinePhone (Braveheart Edition) and I was running postmarketOS on it yesterday (the OS on the SD Card). Now the device won't even turn on at all.

I had the device plugged into the charger all night and it still won't turn on. Is my phone no good already? If so, I want a refund because I expect my electronics to last more than a day.

Just for the record, I tried several things, such as putting the battery in and out, charging it (all night even) with different chargers (including the Nintendo Switch charger), I hit the Reset button on the back of the phone, etc.

What is going on here?

Is there any GUI to install printers in Manjaro? The ubuntu mate build detected our printer (epson wf-35200) fairly easily via the printers tab in settings, but Manjaro does not appear to have a single setting relating to printers. If it all possible, I really don't want to mess around with CUPS.
