Anyone Bought From Mouser ?

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.

Enclosure For Star64

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.

Does any RISC-V Distro/Board Meet these Needs ?

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 ?

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

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.

Installing Over Ubuntu Touch

If I had a device that I wanted to install Droidian on but it had Ubuntu Touch on it currently would I need to install Android first or will the installer still work ? Specifically asking regarding the Volla 22 and the OnePlus 6T

Error When Booting GNUinos

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.

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

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?

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 ?

Open Collective Donations

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 ?

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 ?

FDE For Rock Pro64

Are there any plans to add support for full disk encryption in an installer for the RockPro64 like the Pinephone and Pinetab have ?

Linux System Store in Africa; Russia; or Latin America ?

I had a person ask me the other day if I knew of any stores that sell hardware with Linux preinstalled in Africa; Latin America or Russia and I couldn't think of any. I know plenty in Europe; U.S.A. and Canada but none for those places. Do any of you know of any ? They didn't mean stores that will ship there but stores that are based there.

Ubuntu Adds Support for PolarFire SoC FPGA Icicle Kit

www.phoronix.com

Ubuntu has announced support for The PolarFire SoC FPGA Icicle Kit RISC-V Board. I am not always a huge fan of Ubuntu but if you're looking to get into RISC-V boards they seem to be always on the forefront of support. RISC-V is a great platform to get into as many boards have an open source BIOS and the architecture as a whole is a lot more open than x86. The board can be found on Mouser among other stores. https://www.mouser.ca/new/microchip/microchip-polarfire-soc-icicle-kit

VPN For PostmarketOS

Are there any VPN's that work on PostmarketOS ? I would be using on the Pinephone CE; Pinebook Pro and Rock Pro 64. I usually use Proton VPN or Mullvad but i'm not overly picky.

Dasharo Update Question

I recently received my MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 motherboard from Dasharo. It came with version 1.0 which from what I understand has a different update process than later versions. Am I correct in understanding that I need to open a Terminal and type in "flashrom -p internal -w [path] --ifd -i bios" substituting the path bit there with the actual path to the file I downloaded ? Figured I would ask first before diving in.

Missing a Few Programs on Pinebook Pro

I have recently got PostmarketOS setup on my Pinebook pro and am enjoying it. I am missing a few programs from my desktop though and was wondering if there is a way to get them on PostmarketOS. They are Plank and Psensor. If Plank is a no go is there a way to adjust Gnome Dash to always be visible ?

Help With Error Message When Using Arc 770

I got my hands on an Intel Arc A770 tonight. Sadly I couldn't get it to work with Trisquel 11. When I tried to boot from the .iso it gave me an error saying "HDMI/DP requires binding with gfx driver". I then installed Trisquel 11 onto the system using the onboard GPU only, updated everything, and installed the 6.1.11-gnu kernel from Freesh. It still gave me the same problem when I put the Arc 770 back in. I tried it on another system using Trisquel 11 with the same result. It's not a DOA GPU because it works on my Solus system. I don't think this is a libre kernel issue though as when I do a web search on this error message several people who use various graphics cards and distros have had this in the past. That being said the only system I have that this GPU works on right now is my Solus system that doesn't have the libre kernel. It also isn't an issue of kernel version or Mesa version as my Solus system is using an older Mesa and kernel than my Trisquel 11. Any ideas ?
