Has anyone been able to get sound to go through their usb-c to hdmi? I've played around in the setting but I can't get it to work for the life of me. Am I just missing something?

Thanks!

I'm trying to install manjaro onto my pbp.  I flashed to SD card and that worked. Then I tried flashing the emmc installer to mmcblk1 t(SD card)rebooting and I am met with a blank screen.  Did I overwrite the wrong file?  Fdisk showed mmcblk1 as 14gb and that's what I tried flashing to.  How can I resolve this?  Is there a way to wipe the system and start new? Thanks so much.

I played around with a Mangaro image on SD and all was well.  Tried changing don't size for these poor old eyes and worked.  Also found screen resolution change option.  So... I booted back up on the default internal image and tried the same.  Found both settings.  I set the screen resolution ton1024x768, as was the next visually larger size... Set to system wide and applied then rebooted.  Now, after logging in (with larger fomt on login window).... It boots to a blank screen.  No curaer, not mouse pointer.  It occasionally does a light flash, like it's trying a different resolution, but now change.  I don't have a USB to HDMI adaptor, so am stuck.

I can still boot to Mangaro, however.  can iount the internal drive, and change a config file to get back to theddefault resolution1292x1080?

Thanks in advance

Took my first pass at a case for my rockpro64 this weekend. Still have a lot of work to do on it but the first  pass is done.

I am sharing the dxf and cambam files as well as docs on what I am up to with it. My plan is to use the rockpro64 as my development desktop for the pinebook pro.

I used garolite for the prototype because I had a bunch on the shelf. 

Future plans are to design a more closed in desktop case with support for the NVMe pcie card.

Also considering aluminum and some other materials moving forward.

I'm working on getting "disable touchpad while typing" working in Bionic Mate on the Pinebook Pro.  I have run the firmware update and the feature is working in Debian.  I learned something today that may help solve the problem;  "Disable touchpad when mouse plugged in" also doesn't work.  I'm thinking the software in Bionic doesn't know how to disable the touchpad at all.  Maybe it's linked to the wrong input device?  

Thanks to ayufan for all the work porting Bionic Mate! It's my favorite distro for the PBP.  I just hope we can get this quirk sorted.

I'm looking to get an email client for Ubuntu Mate 18.04  running on my pinebook pro and I'm having some issues.  1. Thunderbird crashes...a lot; also, I've read that it's "on life support" and I think the new Ubuntu default email client is Evolution.  2. Claws works, but I don't like the GUI and cannot find information about Exchange support.  3. Tried Geary....it crashes a lot and is not as responsive as I'd like.  4.  I want to get Evolution Running.  That was my old go to, but I can't even get it to launch. 

Everything seems to go well with the install but when I launch evolution from the menu, nothing happens.  When I launch Evolution from the terminal I get this:

Believe I DD to wrong drive while trying to install manjaro to pbp emmc.  I now have a blank screen when the sd card is ejected. Can anyone help me with directions to DD Manjaro to pbp emmc from sd?  I can boot Manjaro from SD.  Hoping I can fix this with your help.  

Thanks

Ok, I'm enjoying my PineBook Pro except for one problem that wrecks the experience... the trackpad.  Sure, I'm used to my MacBook Pro trackpad and I don't expect the PBP to be as good, but I'm finding the current PBP trackpad hard to use.

Yes I'm complaining, sorry.

The basic problem I have is that the trackpad is slow to start, I can move my finger a good bit before it even moves, and then it suffers serious overrun when I stop.  This happens with the stock image and with Manjaro XFCE so it doesn't seem specific to the factory image.  The overrun happens with NetBSD with just the basic X11 server via 'startx' as well.  I happens with the  Debian Installer testing version a bit even with the slow default speed.

You can test the overrun for yourself, just move your finger quickly left to right, starting quickly and stopping quickly.  You'll see the pointer continue to move well after you stopped your finger.

You can test the "delayed start" by moving your finger slowly.  You'll be able to move your finger several mm before the pointer responds.

Combine these two things and it is hard to use.  Grabbing the corner of a window is frustratingly hard.  Stopping on the correct window decoration (minimize/maximize/close/whatever you got) is difficult.  As a result instead of just using things, I'm thinking too hard about trying to get the pointer where it belongs.

I know someone else posted about this also, but I can't believe this isn't more widespread.  Are people just "living with it" or using an external pointing device or what?

Any ideas on how to fix this?  I seems to be in the trackpad/keyboard firmware since it is affecting Linux & NetBSD.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Manjaro to my PBP's emmc.  I now have a blank screen as I believe I wrote the .img to the wrong drive. I do have it in SD card so I'm able to boot from SD but can someone tell me how to get out of this mess and install Manjaro to my emmc from sd?  

Thanks!
