The forum emails provide only the classic HELO <fqdn> for authentication.  This is fine, and RFC correct, although only a few knowledgeable email admins actually check it (or configure it correctly).  Big Email providers like to insist on PTR (which is not RFC correct - that is what HELO is for).  There is also a valid IP4 PTR record at 207.136.193.31.in-addr.arpa for files.pine64.org.  But there is no IPv6 PTR record:

7.0.2.0.6.3.1.0.3.9.1.0.1.3.0.0.0.0.8.0.0.b.a.f.8.f.a.0.2.0.a.2.ip6.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Sending to Big Email providers that insist on PTR via IPv6 may fail.


The HELO for the forums emails is HELO files.pine64.org, and the DNS for files.pine64.org lists only an A record for 31.193.136.207.  This is fine for sending emails to IP4 servers.  files.pine64.org has entered the 21st century, and also sends emails via IPv6!  Great job!  Unfortunately, the IPv6 address is not listed in DNS, so the HELO authentication fails in that case.  (The FQDN in HELO must resolve to the connect ip.)  Since no other authentication is provided, my email server rejects the emails by default.  (I, of course, have overridden this by adding a local SPF record for files.pine64.org.)

To simplest solution is to simply add the missing AAAA record to DNS:

files.pine64.org  IN AAAA 2a02:af8:fab0:800:31:193:136:207

It would also be a good idea to add the PTR ("reverse DNS") for the IPv6 address to keep Big Email happy.


In addition, I could not find a button to resend the activation email.  My account had to be manually activated by an admin on IRC.

If I click on "View New Posts" or "View Today's Posts", it shows a table of new posts, with the columns "Thread / Author", "Forum", and so on. The "Forum" column shows the sub-forum which the post is in. As the sub-forum is often called something like "Linux" or "Hardware and Accessories", it's not always possible to tell which product the post relates to.

Is it possible to include the parent forum name in the Forum column, as well as the sub-forum?

I was wondering, is there a plan for the main board inside the PBP to be swappable with future boards ? In other words, a component upgrade vs replacing the entire machine ?

Thanks

Is there a problem with the emmc chips mine on image writes dips and crests but is extremely slow.
Its sometime dips to 3MB/s averages about 7.5MB/s sometimes manages 12MB/s.

Even cheap SD cards manage a faster write than this thing?!
I notice this especially when writing the image and it gets quite warm as it is when removed.

Has Panfrost compiled!! HDMI audio & PCIe!! Ayufan at his industrious usual.

Seems to sit well with https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b.../tag/0.9.4 

As a test I install the tasksel version of kde-plasma and its rather great with the above 2.
You need to set the network renderer to NatworkManager in the netplan yaml

Also just a slight one but the symlink in /etc/alternatives sets the sddm greeter to moai whilst all the rest is breeze so you might want to change that.
sudo apt-get install sddm-theme-breeze


I have tried gnome and its ok vanila but soon as you theme it, then it starts to get a bit clunky.
Its all opinion though, but think I waiver to criticism than optimism so suggest giving kde-plasma a go.

Burn the image, boot and sudo tasksel and select kde-plasma.
Presuming LXQT will be even more snappy.

I used dd to copy to my integral 120gb £20 nvme and apart from a slow boot in operation its extremely good.

What is the official status of a Manjaro i3 distribution for the Pinebook Pro? Thanks.

So I run The Retro Arena and we are working on the Debian build from mrfixit. I am attempting to add more robust support for more of the modern chipsets that are out there to include N and AC. Even when using N on an AC adapter they seem to produce faster speeds than the older N series adapters. I have tried to installed several adapters, but when it comes to compiling for example many times I run into the following:

Hello,

I just purchased a 4gb Rock64 Rev3 model and i'm struggling in getting any image to boot properly, i tried latest Armbian, mrfixit and ayufan's image. Whenever i plug my power supply (5v 4A) the white, red and ethernet led starts blinking very fast while the green blink slowly. If i plug in and out my power supply it will eventualy boot, but never from the first time. Maybe my board is defective? Anyone else has this issue?

i run a modified KDE Neon Image on EMMC and want to compile some kernel modules
but i`m not sure what files i should get, is the pine64 kernel the same ?

Ayufan`s Repository is listen some versions.

But i`m not sure what i`m running i have 3.10.105-bsp-1.2 from 27 Oct.

I only need to the Source Code Tarball to compile 3G Modem Drivers.

can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks

Matthias

Hello,

I just recently discovered that Lakka is available in the nightlies for the pine allwinner boards.  I tested it on my A64+ and what I tested (NES, SNES, GBA, PSX, DOOM, Quake) worked.  N64 and NDS didn't work. (I didn't have other roms to try).

What also didn't work was HDMI sound, I couldn't test analog out as I broke my headphones.

Here is the link: http://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/Lakka-LE9.2/latest/

Probably most thanks to Jernej as he made this boards available in the libreelec 9.2 build system.

I don't have a pine H64 to test the lakka builds.  And I'm sill wondering wich board would be better, the rock64 or the pineH64 to run emulation on.
