All of these things may, very well, be addressed by the time you receive your phone, but I am just posting this in the even X or Y doesn't work/ is broken:

[edit] For starters, every morning (EU Time) you may wish to:

Where is the @ key on the Pinebook Pro?  It is configured as US in the keyboard config file but the @ key displays " when selected.  All the other keys seem correct.

Is there someone having success with installing Cura on the stock debian os ?
And if yes please share how

Hey everyone,

I'm as excited as the next person about getting my BH PinePhone. I've watched as people have announced getting their shipment emails through.

I know the big deadline for Chinese New Year was Jan 25th. I'm still without my shipment email - I ordered the phone on January 7th and have my order confirmation email and number.

I'm not in Germany (Spain to be precise).

My question is - is there anyone else in the same situation? On the Pine64 Discord I was told to give it until later today then send a support ticket.

First I wanted to check if I'm one of dozens? If not then maybe it's just some issue with my particular order.

Sorry to be that annoying "where is it?" person.

I want to make some direction regarding those recent "open" voices. Check https://www.pine64.org/2020/01/24/settin...nceptions/ and https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=27 for context.

Yes, I've heard it too. And I can see two kinds of talking about "PinePhone openness".

• The first one is rational kind of "PinePhone vs Librem 5".
  
• The other is trolling on different server.
  

Hello PBP Posters.
I've had my pbp ansi for about a week.  Currently I have one issue to resolve.  I logged in to Chromium before I changed the key pad to english US. Now, unintentionally, I have a symbol for the UK pound in my keyring password for Chromium.  There is no equivalent in the english US layout.  Can someone provide directions on changing or eliminating this keyring for chromium?   So far pretty good with this device.  Chromium was glitchy and firefox would crash instantly. A mrfixit update help a lot. Firefox now works fine.
Thanks in advance!

I got a Pinebook Pro the other day.

I was getting no sound, and although wifi worked, the USB C hub with ethernet wasn't working either. I was going to try Manjaro, as someone on the fourm suggested, but I had an idea first: I'll just upgrade from strech to buster! Interestingly, the packages were mostly armhf, although there were a few arm64.

After trying to upgrade, something went wrong. The next time that I rebooted, I got an unblinking cursor at the top left after seeing a Debian login console for a fraction of a second.

I made the Manjaro SD card, but it doesn't look like the SD card is read. I saw in another post that there is an update that I should have done before anything else.

I'm guessing that what I need to do is open it up and disable the eMMC, and hope that doing so will make it no longer participate in the boot order.

I'd like to know for sure what I'm doing before opening it; can someone point me to a document that says where the dip switches are and what they do?

It's time to get C H O N K Y!


While I enjoy how light the PBP is (1.31 kg / 2.9 lbs), I was frustrated with the unbalance of pinebook pro and it's top-heaviness.

So I decided to experiment and added 4 OZ of tungsten putty and ~1.38 OZ of rectanglular pinewood derby weights.

Although my machine is 152 grams heavier, I can now open my pinebook pro with one hand (like a Macbook! an impossible feat before...) and it feels much more premium and balanced overall.

Hi there,

After I've updated my system, I've got the trouble: when I use Fn + some functional key, X.org crashes.

I have a sad story. I was just flying across country with my ISO PBP, enjoying its terrific battery life from an unpowered economy seat.

A fellow passenger had a minor accident with their tray table, and red wine splashed across the top of my machine. I got quickly to work with paper napkins, but liquid seeped into the spaces under the key caps - especially the space bar.

I shut down, and continued drying, daring to restart after a couple hours. The damage? Tab, L-ALT and spacebar were non-functional. I played with travel on the keys, and after an evening in hotel, tap returned to functioning. L-ALT is iffy, and spacebar is still a dead response. On returning home, I fully discharged the machine and floated high-concentration isopropyl into the crevasses with a cotton swab, in the hopes that it wold work as a gunk-remover, and improvised contact cleaner. I put on a low-level heating pad for a couple hours, to dry out and recharged.

No luck. Spacebar travels normally, but sends no characters.

An odd thing. With a terminal open, bashing the space several times stops cursor blinking in Gnome-terminal, but no null character space updates on screen, or otherwise registers. After the cursor "freezes", It takes a couple of presses of ENTER to make this responsive, and return a new prompt. Then I get several, like they were piled up in a buffer and all released at once.

Anyway, very frustrating. I just had Daniel's excellent Debian installer imaged as I like, with a hybrid arm64/armhf, the zram service working, and Gnome3 customized to my extensions and preferences. On the up side, I have 20+ tabs synced in Firefox, and she's dead steady, other than some screen tearing on repaint of scrolled pages.

I'm open to any suggestions here. I wish there were simple spare-parts ordering of new ISO KB units on the Pine Store. I'd hate to retire this one to USB/Bluetooth KB only - tho I have an ANSI unit on which I can swap my eMMC.

Thanks all, and BE CAREFUL! These KB are not sealed membranes, it seems.
