It looks like there is audio driver but still not able to hear any sound from 3.5mm audio jack.

Also i tested with a simple flite based command line text to speech test-
flite -t hello
It throws error-
audio_open_alsa: failed to set hw parameters. Invalid argument.

Hello All,
DvD movies have a security system called  css ..
Without a proper Library capable of reading the Dvd you will not be able to play movies..

Pay attention to the Legislation on your Country, in case its ok..

videolan.org Team have a library, for that, but they don't provide a aarch64 package..
I haven't found it in the ayufan repo, with the correct name..but its there with 'libdvd-pkg' , its a package that automates the process of downloading, compiling and installing, but I got Errors with it..


So I compiled the Source Code..
The last version is 1.4.2.

1). Clone the project:

These fell out of my Pinebook when I was upgrading the eMMC.
I cannot figure out where they came from. They are magnetic and stick to each other quite easily.
Can anyone tell me where they are from and how to put them back? Are they important?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

TL;DR Which distro/image supports ZFS, PCIe SATA card, OpenVPN Client, and optionally WiFi?

—-

I have finally received my RockPro64 4GB with the NAC case, eMMC module, PCIe card and WiFi module.

My goal is to build a remote backup server for important ZFS datasets on our home server.

The home server runs Ubuntu with ZFSonLinux. 

Ideally, the backup server connects via WiFi and is configured through systemd. It will need to connect to the home server via OpenVPN.

To my questions:

1. Being completely new to Linux on ARM, I would appreciate some help with the choice of the distro/image to achieve my goal.
2. Which network manager would you then recommend to automatically connect to my OpenVPN server?
3. I forgot to buy the eMMC USB adapter. Is it feasible to boot from an SD card and then dd onto the eMMC?

I have read that WiFi and PCIe is not possible in parallel, so I made the WiFi requirement optional.

Seen photos online where the display seems to be matte while other look glossy.

Is the 11,6" Pinebook display matte or glossy?


Thinking of picking one up to replace my glossy ipad 3 - for reading programming books and running the exercises on it.

Im new to this whole thing but I have an issue. I have a pineA64 1gb that I use to run andoid in my car for my tuning software and guages. I have it running through the HDMI to my screen and i have it hardwired to a power source as well as a battery backup(the tripple 18650 case from pine). 

My problem: I will go out to the car and it wont load up, says no hdmi output(more freqently now that its cold, even if I bring the computer in the house and hook up to my TV it still says the same thing) but to get it to work again i to have to wipe the SD card and then reinstall the android image. Now I dont shut down the computer, its running all the time so i should just be able to turn my monitor on and it there for me to use but nearly every week im having to wipe and re-etch the image. What can I do to stop this? I have even gotten to the point where I remove the computer and bring it in the house so the cold wont affect it but I still have to wipe it every week it seems.

Hello everyone, I have a Pine64-db rev b i bought a while ago, i've never used it and it was sitting in the static bag , i now decide to use it with
octoprint for my 3d printer and i applied power and while the monitor get drive for a few seconds, it reverts to no signal present , only the power 
led is illuminate , the usb keyboard led flashes when power is applied but thats it..it sits there dead..nothing , can anyone help me how to proceed
from here.

For weeks I have been trying to get my Rock64 4GB into a stable system state.

It does not work properly and there are many problems with it. I tried a lot for weeks until I realized that it wasn't the operating system or a program. Even when idle on a freshly installed system (stretch-minimal-rock64-0.7.11-1075-arm64.img), error messages appear on the console after some time and the system hangs.
Copying large files reproducibly brings the system to a standstill. I am using an original power supply, the CPU temperature is not higher than 55°C.Now I suspect a hardware problem.

- Is there a program to check the hardware reliably?
- What else can I try?

Regards, Sputnik

A minimal debian build from mrfixit2001 for the Rock64 is now available.

Supports number of features: higher CPU/GPU frequencies, additional peripheral drivers in kernel (especially WiFi and BT USB dongles), configured Mali blob, numerous fixes, etc.,

New pre-release images from ayufan are now available. Help testing, submit prs and fixes. Feedback welcome.
