Enclosure For the Star64 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

So I received an email from Pine64 on this matter:

"Does to double Ethernet height, currently only acrylic enclosure available. the Rockpro64 Premium Aluminum casing not suitable for Star64 SBC."

Guess no NVME option at the moment as the acrylic case is too short for that.

Anyone Bought From Mouser ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

So there is a happy ending. I called the Customer Accounts Team at Mouser. They couldn't explain why the order was cancelled but sent me an email link to verify the credit card used. After that the order was reinstated and shipped. It arrived less than 12 hours after that. Now to find time to play with my new Unmatched......

What file systems are you using on your devices and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I use BTRFS on my Artix system, Ext4 on my Librem 5, Ext4 on my Devuan laptop and Ext4 on my Pinebook Pro. Basically when given the choice in the installer I choose BTRFS but if the installer doesn't let me pick I don't care enough to manually partition. I have had no negative experiences with any file system luckily so I just roll with whatever.

Anyone Bought From Mouser ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Has anyone here ever purchased anything from Mouser ? I tried to buy a Sifive Unmatched from there and a day later the order was cancelled by their Customer Accounts Team "after further review". I will be calling them for more info but it just struck me as one of the weirdest experiences I have had with an online store.

Best way to use GOG on linux in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One of the reasons I prefer GOG is that I don't want to use a client. I prefer to download offline installers and then run my games through Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher.

Enclosure For Star64 (lemmy.ml)
 

Can anybody suggest an enclosure for the Star64 SBC ? The only one they list as compatible on the Pine64 store is the acrylic enclosure but that won't work if one wants to use the M.2 PCI-E card which I do. I think the ROCKPro64 Premium Aluminum Casing will fit well enough by looking at how the ports would line up but it would be nice to get more info before ordering.

The Framework Laptop 13 is about to become one of the world’s first RISC-V laptops in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I like many of the things that Framework bring to the table. One of the only things I thought they lacked was a FOSS BIOS option like Coreboot so if this uses u-Boot or something similar it may be on my wishlist.

Milk-V Jupiter is a mini ITX board with a SpacemiT K1/M1 RISC-V processor - Liliputing in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I like it when boards are a standard such as mini ITX or mATX. Any idea if the Jupiter would work with the libre kernel ?

Does any RISC-V Distro/Board Meet these Needs ? (lemmy.ml)
 

When dealing with ARM and RISC-V devices one constant I see is that distros or devs will make a specific image for a device. This image usually lacks a few things I am used to. On X86 the norm is to have an installer where I can make many choices such as whether to have full disk encryption, choose which DE I want, choose which device to install to (such as NVME) and choose my filesystem type. Does any distro do this for any RISC-V board ?

Psensor Alternative (lemmy.ml)
 

I usually use Psensor to monitor temperatures but it's not available on Guix yet. Can anybody recommend an alternative that does work on Guix ?

Error When trying to Update Pinephone in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I tried the update command and the repos that the error occur on are

"http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/main"

"http:////dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/3.19/community"

I don't get the error on my Pinebook Pro which si also on PostmarketOS 23.12 if that matters.

I love Open Collective and prefer it over any alternative. I will still try to support the individuals who use Liberapay but really like the transparancy of OC for supporting projects.

Is it time to reopen the subreddit? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I for one ditched Reddit long ago and am never going back. Not for any project. If they want to have a sub reddit then fine but they better have FOSS options ike Lemmy as well.

Error When trying to Update Pinephone (lemmy.ml)
 

I tried to update my Pinephone CE using "sudo apk upgrade -a" and received the error

"Not continuing due to stale/unavailable repositories. Use --force-missing-repositories to continue"

I am on 23.12 with Phosh. I remember hearing that the Pinephone may be getting dropped from main to community so I wasn't sure if this was related to that or something different. Is it safe to use the command it suggests ? I figured I would ask before blindly doing it.

Adding systemd to postmarketOS in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

The fact that PostmarketOS used anything other than SystemD was a selling point for me. That beign said it seems like it will be optional so at that point I see little reason to be angry.

Error When Booting GNUinos (lemmy.ml)
 

I just tried installing Gnuinos and after finishing on first bootup this is what I get. I have tried on both Runit and SysVinit so I don’t think it’s do do with init issues. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix ? This system works fine with Trisquel so I know it’s libre friendly.

Any Way to Use Plank on Guix ? (lemmy.ml)
 

I had installed Guix with Mate as my DE but a big part of my desktop experience is having Plank as my dock. I don't see it in the package list on the Guix website. Am I mistaken or is Plank not usable on Guix ? Any recomendations for alternatives ?

Phone Recommendation for Canada (lemmy.ml)
 

I would love to use PostmarketOS as my daily driver but my Pinephone CE isn't really giving me the battery life I need to make it happen. I am looking at what phones I can get my hands on in Canada that would be better suited. So far the OnePlus 6T seems to be my best option. I can't get the Shift6mq or the Poco F1 shipped here. Any suggestions if battery life is my main need ? I take my phone off the charger at 11am and don't get home until close to midnight with no way to charge while at work.

Support for RISC-V PineTab 2? (lemmy.ml)

Obviously things can change over time but does anybody know if there is currently any planned support for the RISC-V version of the PineTab 2 for PostmarketOS ? Would a RISC-V device even work with PostmarketOS ?

I see that ntfy has an Open Collective but I don't see the option to donate using that. Will ntfy change this in the future ?

Question About Updating (lemmy.ml)
 

I recently installed Guix in hopes of learning to use it. I wanted to update the system and gathered from the reference card that the proper command was "guix pull". My issue is that while no error message is given this didn't seem to update anything after. One thing that makes me think this is that I'm still on the 6.0.10 kernel as I was before. Am I doing this wrong ?
