Hi All,
New PinePhone Pro, put Mobian on it right away because I'm already using Debian on several R Pis, so its familiar. I put it on an SD card and BEFORE first boot it was a little tricky to get it to boot. Someone who knows more than me should capture that for us, I just stumbled into how to get it to boot the very first time. But once it had been through the first boot it shows up reliably in the U-Boot choices, so all good there.
And it comes up just fine and you can look around and see the apps and so forth. BUT, when an app is selected, you see it starting with appropriate looking visuals, but then when you expect the app to be open and ready to do something for you, all you get is the default screen background!
I tried four or five apps, including settings and the tour/tutorial, and you can see that they're running because the higher-level window manager works fine. So you can swipe this way and that and see stuff. BUT, you can't actually get into any app!
HELP!
Thanks,
RT
