Hi Just trying to keep my board updated with the Ubuntu releases, Im seeing a package in apt that I cant seem to upgrade:

> The following packages have been kept back:
>  libgl1-mesa-dri
> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

I tried apt-get --with-new-pkgs and after that failed also dist-upgrade, but the package still isnt installed...?

What is the weight in grams of the rp64 ? (With and without the heatsink)
I tried searching for it in various websites but found no info about it..

Hello.
Where can i find examples/libs how to use gpio header from c/c++/java in armbian ?

Just wanted to make a quick post and say hello. I just got my Rock64 and have flashed the Android images. Sad to say Im dissapointed its all android TV and not a normal Android interface. Have had to sideload several apps that play store says I can't have.  I bought this as a replacement for my rk3188 tv stick running KK.  Funny story about that stick. It had a broadcom wifi chip with an external antenna I broke off and couldnt get a signal and my soldering skills suck So...  similar hardware had the Realtek rtl8188eu chip. I just flashed it with a dif image that used the realtek and bought a usb dongle that was rtl8188eu (etv) and it worked very well. Glad I could pull that little wifi gem out and keep it in use with my new board!!!! Not super proficient in Linux but have been a regular Ubuntu user for 10 years and Am up for any testing.

Hello..
I was just wondering which case, if any would allow the 20mm heatsink and fan to be used.

I'm planning on running an Emby server and would like to ensure there's adequate cooling.

Thank you..

Does anyone know the charge current of the PB? Is this set it SW or HW and has anyone tried to change it? I don't want to stress the battery beyond it's max C rating but it would be cool to get a higher charge current.

Hi everybody,

I have a Rock64 board which had been lying around for a while, but I now seriously want to deploy as a NAS/Media server replacement for my ageing Synology DS414. Therefore my entry on the forums here

My goal is to run OpenMediaVault as NAS solution. On top of that run Plex Media Server and possibly a few docker containers. I've been testing several images to see which works best for me:
- ayufan's OMV image, with Plex as plugin (or docker)
- Armbian Stretch with Plex installed via Softy
- for testing purposes: another x86 machine with own OMV installation and Plex in docker, but that's beyond the scope of this forum



OMV works perfectly on the NAS with ayufan's build, but the issue is with Plex video transcoding, Obviously the ARM CPU isn't suitable for that but I understood that the Rockchip RK3328 should have hardware encoding/decoding/transcoding capabilities. Plex supports it on Ubuntu, but OMV requires Debian. Since one is based on the other I'm hoping that can be made working.

But before I spend an inordinate amount tyring to get this working (and I'm not a sysadmin): has anybody got hardware accelerated video to work already on Rock64/Linux? I've searched the forum but couldn't find a recent answer to this.

If it works, some pointers how this is done would be MUCH appreciated. If doesn't work, that answer is also helpful because it would save me a lot of time. Thanks in advance!

Team,

I'm not new to PS's laptops or FOSS.

The idea of the Pinebook is awesome, the Pinebook Pro could be a game changer for many folks.

I have had my Pine book for more than a few weeks, but scheduling, holidays and life started to crowd out some other projects so I "queued it up" and have reached the point where I want to start writing on it.

Unfortunately I spend my daily hours in a hospital with stooped amounts of WIFI security, so far I cant get the Pinebook on the guest network, which Im ok with.

After all that's why God created USB memory keys right?

Sneaker-net!

Imagine my surprise when The USB key wouldn't go in less than 1/8 of an inch. Unsurprisingly the PB wont read it.

Tried 3 different keys, same thing. This started on the RIGHT port, because of AC, but one of them is pretty slim, so I moved it left.

same issue.

2 sandisk 32GB Duo's (USB(a) on one end Micro USB on th other) and a Sandisk Cruzer Glide 16GB

nothing really notable abouyt any of them

any ideas?

Im sure I haven't pushed them in as hard as I coiuld but just didn't think much more force should be needed.

Thanks

Hello.
I hot a 4g rockpro64 and i want a full working debian image.
I have downloaded a debian stretch image listed in wiki but the graphics do not work.

I want to start to buy my RockPro64 components to start a project.

But i've noticed that Pine64s LCD touch screen has a note which says:"Only stock Android OS build for this LCD panel available for ROCKPro64 board"
https://www.pine64.org/?product=7-lcd-to...reen-panel

But then i saw this which looks to me there is Linux support for this LCD:
https://github.com/avafinger/pine64-touchscreen

So I'm asking maybe this note on the manufacturers LCD touch screen site has become obsolete?
Can somebody confirm?

I'd prefer Linux + GUI over Android, but when there's no chance i have to deal with Android on some kind.
A 5" LCD touch screen would be enough, but i haven't seen any other type on Pine64s store, so i have to deal with 7"
