Gnome network manager is installed and running. 

No auto detect of networks. Manual entry of SSID and psk doesn't help: wlan0 is down. 

Based on other fora topics regarding wifi config of network/interfaces.d and wpa_supplicant.conf have been entered.

ifconfig shows only an lo device

dmesg|tail shows dhd_ioctl_entry: Interface is down

Most documentation stops at the configuration files and network manager, but says nothing beyond.

Maybe I wrote over the proper interfaces.d and wpa_supplicant.conf settings??? Can some one send me the defaults?

Any other suggestions?

Hello Everybody, I´m new here and ask for help in this matter.

I have a Rock64 4G v2 and a tried it with many different Ubuntu bionic and Debian os, as:
-   Armbian_5.69_Rock64_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.167
-   Armbian_5.90_Rock64_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.182
-   Armbian_5.98_Rock64_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.192
-   Armbian_5.98_Rock64_Debian_buster_default_4.4.192 (last one).

With all those os I get the same errors after dmesg: pls compare https://pastebin.com/0bxG6RC1

Do you think it is an hardware (memory) problem?

After normal boot and a while it get stuck and lost ssh or Ethernet connections.

I really don´t know what can I do with this SBC. Could yoo please help me?

Hello,

I just came accross Debos (from https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/08/08/...r-wayland/) which creates (debian) OS Images from scratch and applys patches/ tweaks. Since the example creates an IMG with Wayland/ Weston for the RockPi, it shouldn't be too hard to create an yml file for the Pinebook Pro (depends on the definition of "hard").

Since life happens right now, I probably can't play with it too soon, but if anyone here can, I thought I might share.

As per title, couldnt find one so made it and shared it here for free:

Hi. I'm looking for a low cost way of being able to access an 2TB SATA drive across my home network and hopefully the internet. I was looking at using a Raspberry Pi but someone has suggested using a PINE64 because it should be easier to connect the drive. I'm totally new to PINE64, I'd not heard of it until a few days ago.

The drive won't ever be accessed that often, it just seems like a better solution with more access that just having inside a PC.

So, my current thinking is to get a PINE64, probably the 2GB verison, a decent SD card, install openmedia vault, attach the drive to the board and connect the board to my wifi router.

Does this sound like a good plan?

If I'm attaching a SATA drive then I think I can't use and enclosed case?

I'm running ayufan's arm64 OMV build on my rockpro64 4GB. I have the official SATA controllor card and 2 WD reds.  I upgraded to buster and dropped in the 5.3.0 mainline kernel from ayufan.  I finally moved everything to a partition on one of the hard drives and use the SD card just for booting and loading the kernel.  After that, it's all on HDD.

The idea is to use it primarily as a nas and run a few background things on it, like octoprint and homebridge, but I also want to be able to have it play netflix or do quick internet searches while I'm working.  It's an odd build, but it's working.  But the hard driver performance is far worse than SD card. Try running apt upgrade.  It sit s and waits on each individual file.  The hard drive isn't thrashing  much either.  It mostly sits there waiting for stuff to do.

I know this wasn't the intended use case for the openmediavault image, but installing openmediavault on the other images led to weird problems, like dmidecode related bootloops.  However, I don't think this level of poor performance is related to OMV.  It just feels like its waiting for each individual step to complete and its much slower.  Where should I look to fix this?

Hi,

When I tried to register using a gmail account, I was notified that forum account activation email would be sent for verification.
However, it never came. Over the course of 24 hours I tried 3-4 times, but never got the account activation email.
Then I tried changing to a non-gmail account, and finally got the email.

Please check if there are any issues with the mail server.

Upowerd logs every 1 to 2 mins a warning to /var/log/syslog and the systemd journal:

I wished to have a local copy of the Pinebook Pro schematics, specifications, and datasheets found on the Pinebook Pro wiki page. The documents are in directories and there is an index.html file to ease navigation to the desired document. The index page is a simple subset of the Pinebook Pro Main Page on the wiki.

If anyone else finds that useful, you can find a zip file containing the files in a directory named doc/ here:
