Are you using the X11 or Wayland variant of firefox (rpm -qa
firefox\*) and maybe install both and try them to see if there's one
that's better than the other and report a bug against it.

It's not related to the firmware, it's not supported in the upstream

"USB-C multiplexer" driver that switches the functionality. When it

Thank you Peter for the explanation regarding USB-C.

Regarding Probs with Wayland:  I'm using KDE on my Pinebook Pro. With 
Wayland only the border of Firefox , Thunderbird and other non KDE 
Software appears. I have to downsize / upsize the window often to get 
normal behavior. KDE Software seems to work fine.


Hope this helps.

[fedora-arm] Re: Questions to Fedora on Pinebook Pro

2021-12-15 Thread Ben Beasley 
I revisited this, and I’m still seeing some issues on GNOME/Wayland on 
Pinebook Pro, but not quite the same ones that I remember or that 
Andreas reported.


1. Fresh boot (just to be sure)
2. Select “GNOME” session (Wayland)
3. Open KeepassXC or Thunderbird
4. Application name appears next to “Activities” with a spinner; the 
spinner never goes away, and the main window never appears.
5. If I click the ”X” in the task switcher for the application, the “X” 
disappears as if a window was closed, but the white dot under the big 
icon at the bottom never does.


I took some screenshots in case that description is unclear, but I 
didn’t attach them. I didn’t see any way to resize the invisible/missing 
window, but maybe I overlooked a technique.


Some other applications I tried (Firefox, gnome-terminal) worked fine, 
and everything works as expected in X11.


If I have a chance I’ll try this again with strace. Right now I’m not 
sure to which component this bug belongs.

I had similar Wayland problems after upgrading to F35 on PineBook
Pro. I use a plain-vanilla default GNOME/Wayland session (i.e.,
install Fedora Workstation and don’t meddle with it). I haven’t
taken the time to look into this myself or write up a decent bug
report, but I can probably reproduce anything Andreas is seeing.


Interesting, not seeing this on my fully updated Pinebook Pro with 
Fedora 35 Workstation on Wayland. Is it all windows or just certain 
applications? It would be great if we could get a bug report to get it 
fixed.



I also noticed that switching to an X11 session fixed a Wayland bug
carried over from F34 (which I’ve also never written up properly),
in which Thunderbird interacts badly with task switching, e.g., it
can’t be Alt+Tab’ed to.

I’m not really asking for help with these issues, since I haven’t
even bothered to document them. However, I’m happy to help
reproduce, debug, or test if somebody does work on them.

Internal speakers work just fine after enabling some specific option(s)
in alsamixer. I don't have the machine up and running at the moment, so
I can't say exactly, which one.
