Been away from the PBP for a few weeks.

Did the latest update to the Debian standard OS. Now, no sound.

Tried everything, but it's simply gone. Think I've had some sort of failure?

Also, I'm becoming less thrilled with micro SD slot. Too difficult to install and remove the card, PLUS my SanDisk 64GB card has failed... Could it be the card reader?

Thanks! :-)

Good afternoon my friends. I've had my Pinebook Pro for about as long as anyone now, and noticed some minor damage to the right hand side below the USB port. Mind you, I'm not complaining or requesting anything as this is so minimal and unimportant, but I wanted to check to see if anyone else had run into this. It seems like the plastic here might be too thin to stand up to normal use. For the most part my Pinebook Pro stays either on my desk to safely tucked into my laptop case. There are no loose items in the bag and it hasn't been dropped/knocked/etc. Honestly this could have been there from the start, but today is the first time I've noticed. I did have some trouble plugging a USB stick into this port the other day, but didn't really give it much thought. I wonder if reinforcing these would be practical?  XD

Thanks for any input folks,

I feel foolish for asking, but the MicroSD card won't stay in inserted.  There's no "click" and it doesn't stay inserted.  While it's manually held, I can see it's recognized as /dev/mmcblk0p1.   What obvious thing am I missing?

I just want to reflash the emmc with a distro that works.

Is the Pinebook Pro going to be the same in the next batch or are you going to change/improve something?

Has anyone tried installing Peppermint 10 OS? What other OS have you tried with the Pinebook Pro? What issues have you had?

I am trying to use the stock mrfixit kernel and modules with a Void Linux rootfs and wifi firmware. Whenever I try to use the wifi, I get "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted". Additionally, trying `iw wlan0 set power_save off` gives me "input/output err (-5)".
 What options do I have here? Should I just try using the tsys mainline kernel? Should I try the tsys firmware? https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/pinebook...aster/brcm

Since 3000 PinePhones are in production I'm pitching my idea of an open-source tracker device that you could attach to your valuables if they are lost ... eg keys, luggage etc.

Hi! I'm new to the SBC world, so please excuse my noobness.

I've tried multiple images on my new Rock64 and all of them, at some point, crash. The problem is that I can't see the error messages because a lot of information is output too fast. Is there a location where that information is logged? I tried checking kern.log and other logs in /var/log but coludn't find anything.

Hi

Just received my NVME adapter today and had and m.2 nvme to stick in.

I took the back cover off, put all the parts in (without folding the cable), put it back together and booted.

My PBP saw the drive, I opened Gparted, created an MSDOS partition table (didn't know which to choose as it was default) and formatted the entire drive as an EXT4, with the intention of having it mount on bootup for extra storage.

after formatting the drive, I tried to mount if with the following result

Hi ... I just received my PinePhone from the Developer batch ...

... it came in a nice transparent plastic case inside a paper envelope.  The telephone looks very nice (good work) ... however, there is no battery in it, neither a recharger, cables or any other accessory, just the phone.

Is that OK? ... just to clarify.


Anyway, I will dig deeply on this device to see how to make magic ;-) ...
