My PinePhone running postmarketOS is now hooked up to a hub and my TV with a mouse for input. Impressed this modest device can run multiple screens and apps. @postmarketOS (mastodon.social)

@distrowatch@mastodon.social @pine64@lemmy.ml @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems did you connected to the tv using the USB-C docking bar from the convergence package or a classic USB-C->HDMI ?

(asking because HDMI from docking bar does not work in my case... having the pinephone beta edition may be related)

@Albirew @postmarketOS @pine64 Using the USB-C dock. It has not worked with any other OS on the PinePhone. This is the first time it has worked since I got the phone a few years ago. Was pleasantly surprised it functioned flawlessly.

Thanks for the feedback. 👍
Then, my issue may be either:

  1. the Gnome-mobile edition of PMOS (if different from what you installed)
  2. the beta edition of my Pinephone
  3. my lack of skill and luck

  1. I am using the Phosh edition of postmarketOS. It was as easy as plugging in the HDMI cable and the desktop appeared on my screen.

  2. Perhaps. I am using the original PinePhone.

  3. Probably luck. With Phosh on pmos there aren't any technical steps.
