Hello,

I tried to run PopcornTime executable that I downloaded but it shows:
cannot execute binary file: Exec format error.

the architecture aarch64 couldn't run arm32 binaries?

Doesn't look like it, no. Usually, a .deb file for debian based distributions with correct suffix based on architecture (i386, x86_64 etc). It looks like you need a .aarch64 or a source you can compile.
Ubuntu is multi arch and can run armhf just fine on arm64 kernel. Google for it as there are plenty of instructions also in this board.
The only problem with that is that you end-up having to install tons of 32bits libs, even libX11 ... :-0
And who wants that?
I just made a fresh SD card with the NEW 2016-07-16 image.  Boots fine, log in fine.  sudo apt-get update/upgrade all works -- terminal text display on HDMI  (only quibblle - no CURSOR is visible so hard to use arrow keys to edit entries at the linux command prompt)

BUT when I follow the instructions "Step by Step how to install Ubuntu" to run
Code:
 /usr/local/sbin/install_mate_desktop.sh


That script runs BUT gives an error....


Code:
"The following packages have unmet dependancies:
ubuntu-mate-desktop : Depends: compiz-plugins but it is not goint to be installed"


When i do "sudo apt-get compiz-plugins"...


Code:
"The following packages have unmet dependancies:
compiz-plugins : Depends: compiz-core ( .... <see below>.... )
                 Depends: compiz-plugins-default ( .... <see below>.... )"


both of these say...
<version num>+16.04.20160526-0ubuntu1 but <version num)+16.04.20160704-0ubuntu1 is to be installed"

I can install compiz-core and compiz-plugins-default successfully (sudo apt-get compiz-core    etc)  
BUT compiz-plugins still won't install and so the install-mate.sh won't run

IS THERE SOME BUILD NUMBER DEPENDENCY IN "compiz-plugins" that needs fixing?  Is there some override to apt that will allow the newer version???

Thanks!
Seems like that packaging is currently broken in the Ubuntu repositories. Please report it as but to Ubuntu.

Update - the problem is the proposed repository. It currently seems incomplete.

If you want to downgrade from proposed, follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/59443/how...repository

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ubuntu-mate-desktop : Depends: compiz-plugins but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Do we need to wait for some packages to be updated at some Ubuntu's repo? How long it can take?

Thanx!
I've got a problem I hope someone can help me out with.

Over the weekend I successfully installed the latest build on 4 of my new Pine64+ with 2GB and they were working great. My intent is to run these as headless servers so I restarted them without the HDMI cable. Unfortunately every one of the boards stalled during the reboot and wouldn't come online. When I plugged the cable back in each started up without issue.

I'm a bit of a noob in this are and am still learning the ropes so please bear with me. Do I need to add an entry into the uenv.txt file to allow the board to ignore the missing HDMI cable during the initial boot or is there something else going on?

Thanks,
Harry
