Update regarding #wayland zero-copy video playback (using hardware planes): with a few small patches it works with #Chromium, both with #vaapi (Intel/AMD) and #v4l2 stateless.

Here a short video using a #rk3399 - the #PINE64 #PinebookPro - playing a 4k 60fps video - only possible with hardware plane offloading. Playback is *almost* smooth already (~50fps), the goal is to catch up with #GStreamer where we get stable 60.

I hope this will all get upstreamed in the coming months.

So if anyone else is running into this, you can install the basic GNOME apps by running:

sudo setup-desktop gnome

Not sure why postmarketOS GNOME for Pinebook Pro doesn’t come with this as default.

#postMarketOS #pineBookPro #GNOME #alpine #apk

It’s installed and snappy (I installed the GNOME version and it’s faster than it was under Fedora Silverblue). And WiFi works. But… no GNOME Software? No web browser? 👀

#postMarketOS #pineBookPro

Ah, it started so well, and then… 👀

#postMarketOS #pineBookPro

Hmm, seems it’s not seeing the WiFi adapter (yes, I checked the kill “switch” – meta + F11 – it’s correct, and yes I rebooted just to make sure) :)

Gonna try postmarketOS next, me thinks :)

#PineBookPro #fedoraSilverblue

Ah, interesting, so maybe the error message is wrong?

(Don’t you just love those?)

#Fedora #FedoraSilverblue #PineBookPro #install

Has anyone gotten Fedora Silverblue working on the Pinebook Pro?

I got it to work! You need to first install Tow-Boot to the Pinebook spi flash (Getting Started | Tow-Boot).

^{Fedora Discussion}

Aha, and now an error message:

“The following error occured while installing the boot loader. The system will not be bootable…:

Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or a firmware bug.”

Fun times.

Someone get the folks at Fedora a PinebookPro.

#FedoraSilverblue #Pine64 #PineBookPro #ARM

Might have spoken too soon. Either it’s taking forever (seems stuck on “writing objects”) or it’s stuck.

#FedoraSilverblue #PineBookPro

Yay! Fedora Silverblue is being installed on my PinebookPro as we speak :)

#FedoraSilverblue #PineBookPro

Scratch that, thought I’d repurpose the drive from the MNT prototype I’m not using (makes a lovely prop, though, and glad I supported them; they’re doing great work) but that’s an mSATA not NVMe. Oh well, will have to order a drive for later.

#PineBookPro

While I’m at it, might as well install the NVMe interface adapter.

#PineBookPro

Snapped off the eMMC drive and it’s booting into Tow-Boot from the SD card.

Note if you’re opening it that the screws are different lengths: wiki.pine64.org/wiki/File:Pine…

The PineBook Pro is rather beautiful on the inside.

(Although I’d rather I was able to make it boot from an sd card without having to open it and unplug wires.) 👀

The #PinebookPro is now in stock!
