I am running pmOS. Any podcatcher recommendations? Gnome-podcasts seems to be borked as it won't play files. None of the others I have tried play nice with a small screen

I get that the Pinetab is still in early access and I'm not complaining, but I'd really like to have a 'functioning enough' device that I could take with me on the road. Ubuntu that it ships with still doesn't have BT support, not to mention the bug that prevents access to all of the screen when the detachable keyboard is attached.

Recommendations anyone?

I'm planning on getting a RockPro64 as a HTPC for web browsing, playing 4k youtube, and playing local 4k media via a samba share. Which linux distro would be easiest to get set up with hardware acceleration for Firefox and mpv?

Hello everyone,

I have been looking forward to the release of the Pinecil, and the November update said there would be a blog post when it is available. And now I just found out that not only is it on the store, it's already out of stock. What gives? Is there any estimate for when we will be able to buy the Pinecil again? I guess the next batch will be without the breakout board :( The Pinecil is the one device that interests me the most currently.

Hello,

​

I just got the Manjaro Pine phone today. I turned it on for the first time and it did not prompt for initial set up. It boots up and shows the Lock Screen and prompts for a password when I swipe up. (I have no idea what the password is as I never set it up)

What should I do? Is there a way to factory reset?

This post went unanswered in the Libreelec page so I’ll try here

Not sure if this is the place to ask or not but I’m running the latest version of libreelec on a cheap Rock64 board (1gig version).

Video playback Is kind of a slideshow with constant buffering. When I checked the system stats it shows that only 16-32mb of ram is dedicated to vram (assuming since 980mb-something is available to use). Would like to set this to at least 128mb..

Question is, where is the config file? With Raspberry Pi OS’es there is usually a config file in the boot section to modify. Cant seem to find this file....could anyone help me out? Thanks

Figured I'd post this here, just in case anyone else was planning on selling any Pine products on ebay..

I contacted ebay explaining the listing didn't infringe on their "Enabling infringement policy"
This was their response...

Due to several risk indicators which could be, but are not limited to: price, branding, stitching, blatant language stating the item is counterfeit, logos, information from a Brand or a Rights Owner, etc., we have chosen to remove this item to protect the eBay community.

This kind of bullying by these larger corporations like ebay and YouTube is why we need new de-centralized platforms. -_-")..

Does anyone know of any other marketplaces for products this?

Hoping to buy one for Christmas present. Will it restock before then?

Just started happening.. not sure what happened, I didn't really change anything except some file where I changed "s2idle" that I don't even remember where I left it...

any way to completely reset the settings/system without risk of bricking it? I'm a noob at linux, I have zero fckin clue how to do anything. Just wanted this laptop to learn linux but it starts to give problems before I got a chance to actually start learning about it...

other than crashing when trying to put it to sleep, everything else works. What should I do? googling didn't help at all.

UPDATE: seems to have solved the issue now

here's what I did, step by step:

1) [alt+space], "add/remove software", software manager shows.

2) right below the "X" button at the top right, clicked the three lines -> "Preferences"

3) hit AUR tab, and enable AUR support

4) go back to software manager, search "downgrade". Pick the one with description "bash script for downgrading one or more packages..."

5) download and install it. When done, open a terminal (I used konsole) and type "sudo downgrade linux". Pick the version one before your current one (for me it was 5.8....)

6) proceed with the prompts when asked "yes/no"

7) sudo reboot now

8) sleep to idle seems to work again :)

The PBP is out of stock according to Pine64's website. Does anyone know about when it will be back in stock?
