So I've been messing around with MultiMC for a bit on the PBP trying to set it up to use the ARM builds of the needed native libraries so the game would run, and I've found a pretty good way to do it that doesn't really require any manual setup and written a script to set it all up for you for a MultiMC instance.
I've only tested the script on Manjaro, but it should work fine on other distros and on a 32-bit userland. I don't know if the game will run with the binary Mali drivers as I've only tried using panfrost though. This setup only supports Minecraft 1.13 and newer, older versions use LWJGL 2 instead of 3 which will require a different setup.

Here's how to set it up:

1. Install MultiMC (AUR), you'll have to compile it from source since they don't provide ARM binaries. Here are their build instructions for Linux.
   
2. Make sure you have a Java runtime installed, they recommend Java 8 but newer versions also seem to work.
   Debian: apt install openjdk-11-jreManjaro: pacman -S jre-openjdk
3. Open MultiMC, pick your preferred settings and select your Java installation.
   
4. When MultiMC is set up, add a new instance with the version of Minecraft you want to play
   
5. Download my script and place it in some directory, remember to mark it as executable.
   
6. Open a terminal in the directory containing the script and run it with the name of the instance you created earlier as parameter.
   
7. If everything goes right, you should now be able to start the instance in MultiMC and play Minecraft!
   

How did you do it ?

Edit: to be more specific - how did you transfer the system to nvme ?

After receiving my PBP and using it for some everyday tasks the only thing really missing to me
was a USB-C Adapter that could do HDMI and Ethernet. So I borrowed a generic
USB-C Adapter from a friend with

• USB-C power input
  
• HDMI (Up to 4k) and VGA out
  
• Ethernet port
  
• 2x USB port
  
• SD/microSD Card reader
  

• HDMI Video only works with Power
  
• Added wiki entry.
  

Hi, everybody,

I don't have much experience with Pinebook. I want to use the xfce desktop in my Pinebook Pro.  I tried to install xfce on the default operating system, but the indicators on the panel gave me problems, as they did not appear. With which operating system can I have a stable xfce desktop? How can I install it?

Thanks,

Hi All: Here's my new article that explains how you may download my prebuilt Rust+Mynewt OS image and flash it to PineTime using a Raspberry Pi...

Build and Flash Rust+Mynewt Firmware for PineTime Smart Watch

Hi all, new here!

I ordered my PBP the day after Christmas and I can't wait to get it, plan to first try Debian and then use Manjaro. I know everything is still being very heavily in development, and I appreciate all the hard work everyone is doing to make this laptop and the software on it and the other devices a reality.

I like how open and transparent pine is with their development process, and I hope this continues. If I get my PBP successfully, perhaps sometime this May I would love to get either the phone or the watch as well.

I'm planning on starting a Linux User Group in my home city and I want to show off my pinebook there!

Anyways, nice to you meet you all!

Looks like rockchip devs few days ago have updated camera clock drivers.

I'm not an expert but can this potentially improve camera stability? Because currently with cheese it feels so slow.
And yeah, can we get this fix in a Debian update from MrFixit?

Thanks.

Not sure if there is an Incompatible SSD list, but if there is this one doesnt work:

https://www.silicon-power.com/web/product-P34A60

I bought the 256GB variant, it doesnt show up at all in DMESG and GParted fails to locate it. nvme list returns no NVMe drives conencted.

I've installed it in a USB3 caddy which proves the SSD isnt faulty and it connects as /dev/sda.
I know the NVMe adapter and the PBP are ok as I threw money at the problem and purchased a Toshiba OCZ RC100 240GB (on the Wiki as a confirmed working SSD) which is working fine.

So if nayone is thinking of a Silicon Power A60 NVMe SSD, don't it doesnt work in the PBP.

Hey guys, I'm not sure where to post this so I thought I'd start here.

Long story short, I'm wondering if anyone can make any suggestions on how to interact with ofono using C. I see some notes here for python using D-Bus and I'm wondering if I should also use d-bus in C or if there's a more low level api or something????? I should look at?


Long story long, I've always wanted to learn C and I've been on and off learning it for quite awhile. I've never had a good project to work on to keep me interested and so I've never stuck with it for very long. My goal here is to write a simple CLI chat app in C for the PinePhone. I know there are lots of ways I can do this and I'm sure python is the best tool for this but I need a good reason to learn C and I feel like this is a good start.


Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I'm glad to introduce a new utility here that can work on the Rock64 and other boards like it. It looks like this:
