| issue with kodi freezing randomly |

HI there,
I have the NAS case with the RP64. I installed the latest MrFixit image on it and managed to install/setup:
- samba (to have a network drive)
- Rsync (to backup the network drive)
- remove pulseaudio to avoid random freeze as it's currently an unresolved issue)
- install Kodi to have a media center (to read the video / music / photos I save on the HDD)
the issue is with Kodi as when I run it I get random freeze (where nothing is working anymore (no ssh, no network access, image on screen is frozen). The freeze has the same behavior as the issue caused by pulseaudio.
Would anyone have a working kodi (other than the specific distro available)?
What has kodi in common with pulse audio? this issue might be linked with the pulse audio issue somehow and I would like to resolve it if possible.
Thanks for anyone reading / helping!

Hi everyone,
First post here 
I'm thinking of getting the RockPRO64 with the NAS case to migrate an existing rpi backup server. I could not find the specs for the case, but I was wondering which heatsink might work the best for that case? any recommendations?
thanks!

| USB 3.0 hard drive write speed increase tip on Ubuntu 18.04 |

Here is a tip for speeding up writes to a external USB 3.0 hard drive on ubuntu 18.04.
If it has already been discussed I apologize for the duplicate thread.
I however had not seen this info before.
Using the default mount format of
Code: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/USB/
However I added the bigwrite flag and my speeds rose to 40-55MB/s over SMB. This was also over wifi, so wired might be faster. I know my drive can do 100MB/s when connected directly to my laptop.
I also added automount via UUID in etc/fstab
Code: UUID=165C922D5C92079F /media/USB ntfs-3g big_writes,rw,async,nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0
Now the weird part is that the local hdparm tests show no significance difference between these two mounting options.
Maybe I am just not using the right flags?
Code: sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1106 MB in 2.00 seconds = 552.88 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 328 MB in 3.01 seconds = 108.89 MB/sec
After:
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1110 MB in 2.00 seconds = 554.81 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 328 MB in 3.01 seconds = 108.83 MB/sec

| keyboard broken? |

Hi guys,
Just a simple question: on my 14" pinebook (which is used daily using the excellent linux support, even layouting magazines using scribus) the keyboard is stopping functioning. '1' 'Backspace' and the right shift key don't register anymore. What should I do now? Are new keyboards available, should i wait for the pro model to arrive ? I wouldn't mind opening the box, it has been opened before (i.e. replacing to emmc with a 64Gb one)
Any suggestions will be apriciated and sorry for any spelling mistakes as a non native speaker...
Erik Ulijn.
