  Rockpro64 12v Lipo battery for playbox?
Posted by: ScrumpyJack - 09-18-2019, 01:25 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Has anyone found a 12v rechargable lipo battery that would fit in the playbox and power the Rockpro64?


  HDDs slow down after a few hours
Posted by: Assan98 - 09-17-2019, 05:59 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (1)

I recently set up my rock64 4GB with debian 9 as a media box.

I installed plex and rtorrent and everything is going smoothly. The only problem I have is that after a few hours (probably 6/7 hours) of "work" both my HDDs (one on USB 3.0 the other on the 2.0) slow down from 70-90MB/s to 6-7MB/s. The speed drop happens with all the programs: samba, ftp, rtorrent etc.

The only way to get performance up again is to remount both drives. At that point I get 70-90MB/s back.

My fstab:

Code:
LABEL=boot /boot/efi vfat defaults,sync 0 0

LABEL=Media2 /home/rock64/torrents/rtorrent/Media2 ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0

LABEL=Media3 /home/rock64/torrents/rtorrent/Media3 ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0

  Are Pinebook images compatible with Pine64+?
Posted by: starcrescent - 09-17-2019, 02:54 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (7)

Title says it all.

All images in Pine64+ are old paricularly android images.

Are Pinebook images compatible with Pine64+?

I tried to boot Manjaro LXQT image but there was no screen activity.

If they are not compatible how to modify them?


  RockPro64 - Armbian no sound from jack
Posted by: Pineapple - 09-16-2019, 08:27 AM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

Anyone else problem with Armbian and getting no sound from the jack?
When I open a music stream and have a look in the volume control I see the graphic VU bar moving. Tried different stuff but can't find the solution from the problem.


I'm a total Linux n00b but I did find a command on the internet which I tried and said this:

  Is a KDE Neon version in the works?
Posted by: geokon - 09-16-2019, 01:31 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

The initial announcement had some vague stuff about working with KDE. Is a custom KDE Neon version (like for the original Pinebook) in the works?

Posted by: rs410ga - 09-15-2019, 05:05 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - No Replies

I started to reply to mmatyas thread but I feel like this is something different. Where mmatyas started with ayufan's Debian and performed a sloppy hack to turn it into ArchLinuxArm, I'm starting with Manjaro and attempting a sloppy hack but I'm not having any luck...yet.
Edit: I prematurely wrote that I'm not having any luck. I was successful in working back through method 2.

Method 1:
1) Follow installation steps 1 trough 6 on Arch Linux ARM's Rock64 page.
2) Download and extract Manjaro image (this exact image may be nonexistent or outdated as you're reading this)
3) Copy boot.scr, idbloader.img, trust.img, and uboot.img from the boot directory of the extracted Manjaro image.
4) Continue following steps 7 through 9 Arch Linux ARM's Rock64 page using Manjaro's boot.scr, idbloader.img, trust.img, and uboot.img instead of downloading from archlinuxarm.org.
5) Attempt to boot.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me why I'm an idiot and this doesn't work.

Method 2:
1) Burn before-mentioned Manjaro image to disk and boot into Manjaro.
2) # cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bup
3) # echo 'Server = http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/$arch/$repo" > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
4) # rm /etc/lsb-release
5) # pacman-key init
6) # pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm
7) # pacman -Syu base-devel git
8) $ git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/p...kpro64.git
9) $ cd uboot-rockpro64
10) $ makepkg -si
11) Reboot and wait very patiently (several minutes).

Czy sprzęt nie mógłby przypadkiem być uzywany przez fundację jeden laptop dla jednego dziecka?

Chętnie bym kupił np. taki sprzęt dla Caritas-u ale dobrze by było by fundacja przeniosła 'shugar' czyli swoje autorskie gui. Aby dało się np. dadać jakiś sposób na doładowywanie z panelu slonecznego czy elektrowni wiatrowej (zapewne by działal też jakiś router i jak już internet z satelity będzie dostepny modem Wink )

Projekt robi dużo dobrego i myśle, że warto połączyć siły. Kiedyś pracowali nad tabletem z panelem slonecznym
(zobaczcie rok! tej propozycji)  http://one.laptop.org/about/xo-3
[Image: 800px-XO-3_Photo10.jpg]

Przyznam, że wizja laptopa z routerem działającego niezależnie od sieci energetycznej (a w przyszłości niezależnie od dostawców (lorawan, wifimesh) jest bardzo miła memu sercu.


Zatem warto połączyć siły i robić coś dla ludzkości.

Wydaje się, że wojna handlowa zmieniła reguły gry. Chińczycy, którzy bali się open source zaczynają otwierać się na otwarte rozwiązania. Moim zdaniem to zmienia całkiem reguły gry i jedt dobre dla użytkownika.

Obawiam się tylko o bezpieczeństwo. Nie wierzę by nie było tam jakiś tylnych furtek, to że działa linux nie oznacza, ze wszystko jest otwarte. Na pewno coś sobie zostawili

Huawei starting sell linux laptops. I dont know how many blobs and closed source are inside but this is trouble. Big game begining
