Hey - just looking for a quick bit of advice.

Looks like the recent manajro updates just broke a number of apps I had running smoothly (namely electrum and nextcloud desktop sync).

Possibly others I haven't spotted yet. They fail with
``

My investigations make me think this is an issue with the pyQT5 / QT5 common conflict - although i can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to fix this (nothing installed with pip).

I'm new to Manjaro and unsure of how regular these things are and how long they tend to hang around before a fix comes.

So my question is simply is it worth reverting to a previous state or do fixes tend to show up in pacman pretty quick?

Hi there,

I'm thinking of getting a RockPro64 to use as my webserver for nextcloud, which currently runs on a Pi3. I know, the HardRock was just announced, but I'm not good with waiting.

So, does someone of you have a webserver or even nextcloud running on the RockPro64 and could say something about the performance?

Additionally, and even more interestingly, I would be interested in the power consumption of the RockPro64. In another thread I found an indication for something below 10 W, without 3.5" HDD attached. Could someone confirm that?

Thank you very much!

I wanted to provide some images to give other users an idea of the PinePhone in relation to other phones.   I test software and so have a few phones to compare them to etc...

In my opinion  the PinePhone is dimensionally closest to the Samsung Galaxy S9+  and so i placed it next to it for the photo's.

In the comparison images  the order of  phones from left to right is as follows.  [ Iphone X, Samsung Galaxy S9+, PinePhone, Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Sony ZX Premium]

The same phone order is used for the  image showing the thickness of the devices.

Hopefully other users can add there comparison pictures to this thread as well,.

I'm with the default debian the pinebook was on battery power and on demand settings cpu I've just watch youtube video on 720p 
when in happen so it was not so cpu demanding 
Its hardware problem and I want to get some solution that't really unacceptable
I understand that's a cheap machine but at the end that's too much.. And that's not all missing screw from the box 
(still waiting support team to contact me about that screw 2 weeks already) no quality control what so ever ... how to spend my money on another pine64 product again ?

Second most stupid question at all (just to leave some space to the ceiling):

How the hack can I open the phone to access SIM card slot/SD card slot/battery?

Are there somewhere some "manuals" or whatsoever for this?

FOSDEM 2020 - short blog and hardware announcements:

Blog Entry

Hey everyone, I've created working images for openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora. You can grab them here https://github.com/smithmcgriff

I've read a ton of threads and see a lot of discussion around charging/discharging, links to Amazon power supplies, links to Pine64 usb to to barrel adapter. 

Is there an incoming wiki section on charging solutions? Similar to the NVMe wiki section... basically a wiki section that confirms which barrel chargers work  and which usb type-c chargers work well?

Due to my location shipping will be a pain. Otherwise I would happily be a guinea pig and report back suggested power supplies on Amazon.

Hi,

I'd like to build myself a media center.
As software I would like Kodi / libreElec or something based on Debian (it's the system I know best).

As hardware I would have thought a RockPro64 4Gb.
Also I would like a quality audio output: I have seen some POT boards but I didn't understand how to use them and if they are compatible with RockPro64 and libreElec.

I would use an eMMC for the operating system but all media files would reside on a separate nas.

I would control everything with the web interface

Do you have any suggestions? Will it work ;) ?

Thank you,
Rickyx
