Arch Linux ARM on PinePhone
Hi.
I just installed ALARM on my PinePhone with this image and I wondered if full-disk encryption is supported.
If not, how can I build this image with encryption and what would it take to make it use osk-sdl ?
Thanks.

osk-sdl is currently WIP, I'm currently working on it.
Find me in the forest, when I'm at my lowest. I don't really think you should continue..

NOTE :

It appears the cellular modem wakes up MUCH faster from sleep state  if the wifi is turned off...

(Seems to me ? )

20201204 f2fs version, up to date with pacman -Syu. Pretty sure this problem predates December though.

There is a sound "glitch" that stops playback when using lollypop: somehow mpv recovers. The irritating thing is it is not possible to listen to a long track using lollypop. The "glitch" happens at random positions in the same track - it seems more related to what the phone is doing rather than the demands of the track.

With lollypop:

Code:
$ lollypop night-raiders-22_10_2020-final.mp3

mpv hiccups at each of the "glitches" but recovers/continues OK.

I can try dig out extra info if required but it sems to me pretty easy to replicate.

Hi,

I'm on the 20201204 image, and while I don't have any issues, LF had reported good success after updating to 2020/12/05. So, I've tried 'sudo pacman -Syu 2020/12/05', and after saying a few package are up to date, it errors with 'database not found: 2020'. Apologies if it's a stupid question, as I'm not a Linux expert by any means, and have never even used Arch before, but it's the one that works best for me so far.

Thanks,

Edit: I think I realised now that you can't 'sudo pacman -Syu' to a particular date, and LF was just saying that he'd done it on that date. So it's all or nothing, right?

Actually you can roll forward and back if you configure pacman to use the cache. I believe (check this) the default is to store the files from the last update. So , if I am correct, run the standard all or nothing update, if you have problems you can revert to the original state before you started. I have done this more than once on my QA card.  Tongue

I cant get megapixels to work anymore. Is it just me (completely up to date pacman -Syu) or has the device numbering changed with a recent kernel update?

That's weird, camera still works with 5.9.14-2

Can you please reboot and dump dmesg to paste.ubuntu.com?

Done - I put a month expiry on it to try be a good citizen so anyone reading this thread after Jan 2021 it is to be expected it is no longer there!

I also had a thought overnight that there should be something about the cameras in the log - at 9.5s I can see links but for sure more is missing. In parallel I will try another release via the SDcard - it may be I borked the camera connections when installing the 1.2b board.

p.s. a boot of Mobian from the SDcard gets at least the rear camera working fine in Megapixels.
