Pinephone USB-C Docking Bar (Amazing !!)

The funny thing is that it works fine plugged it into my Desktop PC.

So I ordered another docking bar (Anker PowerExpand 6-in-1) at Amazon and this one works fine now.
I use it with mouse + keyboard connected by USB and the monitor connected by HDMI.
In addition there is a PowerUSB-Plug to load the phone in parallell ( <- not perfect but usable).

Maybe this will help one or the other "PinePhone-warrior" Wink having the same problem Wink

You're not alone. Mine (KDE edition) also doesn't work with the included dock.  I'm really growing tired of everyone telling me "it should just work" and "did you try combination A, B or C with it".  I've done it all.  Tried 6-7 different distros on p-boot image, 4 different screens, 3 different power supplies, no idea how many different HDMI cables at this point.

I have one other dock that I tried (also didn't work) as well as I gave my Samsung Galaxy dock a try (didn't work either).  All of these docks work if I plug in my Galaxy S9+ though.
I'm giving up.
