I figured out a workaround, but I needed to use a physical USB keyboard. A more user friendly option for others would be helpful. I then ran into another issue in the process and found another workaround for that.
After getting locked out, I left the PineTab alone to complete the update over night. Pin entry still did not work.
Workaround: I plugged in a keyboard, entered a TTY with CTRL+ALT+F3, logged in with username mobian and my pin as the password. I gracefully rebooted.
The PineTab booted successfully. Pin then worked.
I tapped the Software app. Package information was downloaded. I tapped on the updates tab. There were then OS Updates again. I tapped Download. I tapped Restart & Update. I tapped Restart. Reboot successful. I did this several times in a loop.
The only update is f2fs-tools 1.11.0-1.1. Restart & Update would not update that package.
I ran sudo pkcon repair && sudo pkcon update again. Result: There are no updates available at this time.
Opened Software. Refreshed. Still have f2fs-tools update available....
I ran these commands:
Lists f2fs-tools. Upgrading... Rebuilding initrd.img... Making sure to not make it go to sleep... Finished!
Retried Software app. Refreshed... "Software is up to date" Success!
Unless I am missing something, this process seems to be the way to install and update Mobian for the first time which is not very user friendly. I will add my notes to the Mobian wiki, but let me know if you know of better processes for these issues.
