choose ‘desktop: xfce session’ on first login, it won’t login with ‘default’
Audiocard number may change across reboots. Select necessary audio device (HDMI or analog) using pavucontrol
Use ‘alsamixer -Dhw:0’ to control speaker volume, control name is ‘Line out’.
Reported battery level isn’t accurate. Will be fixed in next releases
Suspend doesn’t work. That’s upstream kernel limitation since it doesn’t use ARISC core. Future release will have hibernate. Standby works but note it’s not real suspend - it stops all the user processes and shuts down all devices it can. CPU and memory are still running and drawing power. The only wake up source is lid switch, so setup it up to go into standby when lid is closed and it’ll resume when lid is open
Root partition is not resized on first boot. Will be fixed in next releases. As a workaround, download this script and run it as root on your device: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anarsoul/linux-build/mainline/otherfiles/resize_rootfs.sh - replace mmcblk0 with mmcblk2 if you installed it on eMMC.
Dual-screen is broken on Pinebook - will be eventually fixed with kernel update. If you want to use HDMI without LCD do ‘xrandr –output HDMI-1 –off; xrandr –output eDP-1 –off; xrandr –output HDMI-1 –auto’. To enable LCD back do ‘xrandr –output HDMI-1 –off; xrandr –output eDP-1 –off; xrandr –output eDP-1 –auto’. If xrandr is not installed do ‘pacman -S xorg-xrandr’
forum.pine64.org enable emmc_compat=150mhz mode
I tried 150 MHz and it is faster, from about 75 to more than 100 MB/s.
