Just got my PinePhone and I opened up the factory tests just to make sure everything works. All the tests pass except for the modem, which either gets stuck on "Waiting for modem" or (occasionally) displays firmware and IMEI numbers but doesn't progress further. I also set up UBPorts on an SD card, which says it can't detect a SIM despite one being present. Does anyone have any clever suggestions of things to try or possible culprits?

Hello All,

The Pinephone uses a Micro SIM, and my existing SIM card is actually a nano SIM (so smaller).

I just found that I can buy a simple mobile SIM card:

and the Nano SIM I have fits perfeclt in it.

What would be required to get cluster boards with RTL8369 for VLANs vs  Built-In Unmanned Gigabit Ethernet Switch it has now.

Any one have any more current suggestions for a chip or insights about the path to getting VLAN support in the cluster board? 

Does anyone have definite screw sizes for the Pinebook Pro? I would really like them sooner rather then later because I have already lost two screws from the bottom of my PBP! (it is my fault because I didn't screw them back in all the way after reassembling it...) Would a kit like this: https://www.amazon.com/CO-RODE-Notebook-...crew+kit&a qid=1581169631&sr=8-8 have screws close to the ones in the PBP? Any help is appreciated!

Hi All
What is the procedure for a possible hardware issue with the touch screen ?

I received the Pinephone yesterday and I ran a test of all the options during the first few hours.

This morning the touch screen did not work, but after a power cycle and then a removal of the back cover it started working again.

I then install Ubuntu Touch and again it touch screen did not work. I removed the back cover and placed it back on the phone and it work until the next boot.

Not sure what to do next but a touch phone with a touch screen which does not work is fairly useless.

I'm crossposting from Reddit, so sorry if you read it twice
So... I had UBPorts up and running on my phone. I got greedy and wanted to distro-hop (obviously). I ran the pmbootstrap script from the ubports terminal, and now I can't boot from my sd card (even after reflashing the ubports image). I only get the factorytest interface when I boot. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

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!
