This is minimal image pre-configured with Ethernet. Ubuntu waits 5 minutes for DHCP on boot.
Just confirming that the new image does indeed work with the 2GB board. Awesome job!
Yup works like a charm. Thank you so much Longsleep! I installed Mate desktop on the image and wrote up a short review over at the Mate forums if anyone cares Smile

thank you for replying on this, . and i'll try letting it just run. i did have an live ethernet cable connected to the A64+ board at start-up.

however, there were two major stack trace errors that came up on the screen just before it stopped and kept sitting there. i will let it run through for 5 - 10 minutes, but it really seems frozen on that last stack trace line #44.

also, does it take 5 minutes to boot every time while waiting for DHCP, or just the first time?

thank you again for this image, the instructions, and the help.

best,

this doesnt even support my german keyboard
Thanks, Longsleep!

ran the upgrade_kernel script, and everything came up roses.

Now I just have to figure out why my 7" HDMI touchscreen doesn't display any video. (maybe it's one of those flags from the other DVI/HDMI thread?)

Cheers!

I have a script for that https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6..._rootfs.sh - run with sudo on your Pine.

the link for that one has changed now to here:  https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6..._rootfs.sh

Things to do after you dd image to your sd card:
1. resize the second partition (rootfs) to span the card
2. resize the file system to span the partition
3. add the universe repository in /etc/apt/sources.list
4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get upgrade
6. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
7. wait for 2.6gb
8. reboot in the graphical environment
9. Win. Thanks Longsleep Wink


hi & ,

so please pardon my linux/ubuntu ignorance and lack of fu, but i understand the rest of that, just not #3 — "add the universe repository in /etc/apt/sources.list." what is the specific line to add, and where, please? or a link to instructions on how to do that, please?

thank you in advance.

best,

How did you install Ubuntu Mate? Did you add any repositories? What packages you install?

I installed it from the PPA. But you can just run install_mate_desktop.sh under usr/local/sbin

Hey Faddah, 
edit the /etc/apt/sources.list 
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
find the lines:

#deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ xenial universe
#deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ xenial universe
#deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-updates universe
#deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ xenial-updates universe


and remove the hash sign that denotes the comment. 
afterwards type
sudo apt-get update

hope this helps
