receive a blank screen after expanding SD on first boot
Just found this related post... https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=13461
I'm going to try expand the disk manually... assuming there is a way I can do that on Windows... any tips/tools/ guidance from a windows perspective (for now) is greatly appreciated.
I'm open to putting a Linux Live USB-Stick together if it makes this easier (assuming it can read/use my USB SD "toaster"). I've been pulling down Linux ISO's lately to try as I am considering transitioning from Win10 to Linux... lots to research to make sure I get a distro/kernel compatible with my hardware (Ryzen 5600X and 6800XT) and get comfortable with the learning curve of "Gaming on Linux" with Wine/Lutris/etc...
Well, Linux live USB-Stick to the rescue...
1) Booted PC into Manjaro
2) inserted USB SD RW with SD card freshly "flashed" with the original mobian-pinephone-phosh-20210517.img image
3) Manjaro mounted the drives... huzzah it saw it!
4) Launched the GUI Gparted
5) found my SD, unmounted and selected to resize the 2nd partition to take all space
6) Had GParted apply the changes and it took care of both the partition and data resizing in under 9 minutes
7) mounted/broswed expanded partition successfully
8) unmounted/removed USB-SD and rebooted PC
9) installed SD back into PinePhone and booted it
10) Received Mobian splash screen, resizing partition message lasted about 2 seconds, screen flipped to text for a few seconds, the GUI launched, and was able to log in as the default mobian user!
