Hello,

Any update on when Pinebooks will be back in stock?

Hi Everybody,
            I am looking to build a 10 Node Cluster withthis board to run Cassandra for development and education. 
Does anybody know of any off the shelf cases kits that can be bought?

So far I have seen the PicoCluster which is expensive and they sell each RockPro64 for $100.
This brings the Total cost to $1400.

At that price I can but myslef a 32Thread 1st Gen Threadripper and run docker.

so for $790 I can buy 10 RockPro64 units and have $700 left to build a cluster case, power, cooling, heatsinks and network switch.

Its seems reasonable.

Hi all. New Pinebook 11.6" 1080p owner here.

I like it so far, but it simply will not wake from "suspend" mode. Doesn't matter if I manually put it in suspend (by hitting the power button to bring up the dialogue) or close the lid (set to suspend). The little green LED comes back on, but there's only a black screen. 

Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Running the latest KDE Neon distro it was shipped with.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,  I have purchased the following external usb enclosure.  I've installed a seagate 4TB sata disk.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCM...UTF8&psc=1

I can see this device when I plug it into my laptop but get nothing when I plug it into my pine64.  The enclosure has it's own power cable to power it up.  dmesg shows nothing about a usb drive/device being connect.  I'm running dietpi on my pine64.  I've also tried to connect it to my pinebook 14" running xenial mate.

I've been using the out of box Linux mint for a while now and it's been working great! I want to try out something a little more light weight. Any suggestions?

Is there a shop in Europe / EU where some spare parts of the Pinebook are available?

I'd like to buy an extra eMMC Module and a USB Adapter, but 12$ Shipping is really high. Also, taxes are probably ontop (even the shipping costs are taxed!). An EU Shop could have cheaper shipping and no taxes. Does anybody know if that's available?

I'm a longtime user of Conky on x86 platforms.

I installed it on my new Pinebook 1080p, but it keeps crashing.

It runs for a few seconds, then crashes with one of several errors. And it's not Conky syntax errors, it seems to me these are errors min the code (but I'm not a programmer).

Here are some of the errors Conky throws:

*** Error in `conky': free(): invalid pointer: 0x000000557d588960 ***
conky&
[2] 10840
[1]   Aborted   

*** Error in `conky': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x000000557c147e60 ***
conky&

[3]   Aborted               

conky: attempt to index a nil value

conky: malloc.c:2406: sysmalloc: Assertion `(old_top == initial_top (av) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse (old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.

    
Am I the only Pinebookie experiencing this problem?         

Hi team hope you guys are great.
Not the most technical linux person but I really like to tinker.

I got the new pine book 1080 to my german home love it its all that wanted as far as weight goes.
I booted the KDE Neon on it.
Did the updates.

I wanted to install my favorite snap

I did sudo snap install htop  -- It said that I did not have the right permissions for a device
I did sudo apt-get install htop it worked.

Any trick to get snaps to work?

Thanks
