kbmetz commented 1 year ago

Steps to reproduce

Install system to PineTab, reboot and then run pacman -Syu Updates complete, then upon a reboot the device never comes bac

Expected behavior

Expect for the device to reboot and continue working

Actual behavior

Pinetab does not boot. Inserted the Jumpdrive SD card and pinetab boots so it's still working

Logfiles and additional information

Cannot send log files because the pinetab does not boot and I don't have the serial cable I'm guessing might be similar to https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1727 because I saw some u-boot updates during the command line process

Might be a duplicate of #370. But also support for the original PineTab is on hold without an ETA.

Just wanted to leave an update and say that after several days of poking I was finally able to install archlinux-pinetab-plasma-20220729 and then via the command line run the pacman -Syu and get everything working. It seems that sometimes the pinetab just doesn't want to boot and so it needs to be power cycled and then restarted (sometimes more than once). How-ever once the updates were installed it looks AMAZING! This is the best the pine tab has looked in my opinion. If there is anything I can do to assist with development going forward please let me know.
