Posted by: erchache2000 - 11-13-2018, 02:36 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (88)

KDE

LXQT

[Image: 475945e90d1b8185f883a4f4200ae39ac03083b8.png]

User Password
root root
manjaro manjaro
 
Features:

The Pinebook is a $99 laptop, based on the popular Pine64 ARM board. It sports a quad core ARM CPU, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB eMMC, Wifi and Bluetooth and either a 14" TN screen or an 11" IPS screen.

The Manjaro ARM images are marking Manjaro ARM’s first venture into ARM based laptops and is heavily based on the Arch Linux builds from user anarsoul on Github.

How to install:

Download the image/zip file from the download location. Verify that the download completed successfully.

After that, install Etcher and burn it to an SD card (8 GB or larger recommended).

Put the SD card into the Pinebooks SD card slot and boot it up. The Pinebook should recognize the SD card as a bootable device and boot from it.

The Pinebook will reboot once before it gets to a login screen. This is because the filesystem gets resized to fit the SD card.

On first boot, the wifi card gets activated after a couple of minutes, even though the tray icon (on plasma) does not change.


  How to get text boot on KDE Neon
Posted by: maldus - 11-13-2018, 01:48 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (5)

Hello everyone,
happily writing from my brand new 11' pinebook. Everything works and since there are not many distros with full support I think I'll stick with the default KDE Neon for now.
I am however a sucker login shells and boot messages, so I'd like to tell grub to boot into command like and not showing a splash screen. How do I do it?

I come from Ubuntu (/etc/default/grub into update-grub) and Arch linux (same but with grub-mkconfig), but none of the methods I know worked. I found /etc/default/grub.d/99_breeze-grub.cfg but after editing it I have no idea how to confirm the changes. Can anyone help me?


  Manpages fix on KDE neon?
Posted by: acruhl - 11-12-2018, 08:02 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (7)

The man pages are not working as of now with an up to date KDE neon installation. 

Does anyone know how to fix it? I searched and found some old posts about nroff or troff missing, but this is not the case anymore.

Thanks


  arm64 package missing - libjpeg8-dev
Posted by: Mentaluproar - 11-12-2018, 05:19 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (1)

I'm trying to install mjpg-streamer on my rock64 and I cannot find the package libjpeg8-dev.  I tried adding the Debian Sid entry to the /etc/apt/sources.list, but I cannot get it to accept the key.  This is pretty obvious, but how to I add that key?


  reboot issue, hangs
Posted by: dkebler - 11-12-2018, 01:05 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (12)

Running ayufan 18.04 bionic on rock64pro.  (NAS BOX SETUP)

I am having trouble rebooting the machine remotely from ssh.

I've tried a few different flavors of reboot command and made sure there was no "power management" feature turned on that could cause the reboot to hang.

sudo systemctl reboot

Has anyone had the same issue and come up with a fix.

It's likely some shutdown process is hanging like unmounting somthing.... (which has happened on other distros and machines).  If I can't come up with a solution I guess I'll punt and hook a monitor up so I can maybe see what shutdown process it hangs on.

  How to test the camera?

  OTG on Android
Posted by: onderbetaald - 11-12-2018, 09:52 AM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - Replies (2)

Hi,

I'm planning on buying the ROCK64 for a project. I'm looking for a single board computer that can run Android to be used as a USB gadget / slave. The ROCK64 seems to be just what I'm looking for, since it has a USB OTG port.

However, I cannot find anyone using the ROCK64's USB gadget / slave capabilities while running Android. I was wondering whether this works in Android, i.e. are all the right USB drivers available and working within the Android distribution? And if so, is there a link out there explaining how to set up the USB OTG port in slave mode (if any special actions are required)?

Thanks!

  Pinebook 11" keyboard
Posted by: cvmiller - 11-12-2018, 12:16 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

Hi All,

Just go my 11" Pinebook. The first thing I noticed is the keyboard. Some of the most used linux keys are buried under function key, like the PIPE '|' and the Quotes (double and single).  It is like there is a diagonal row of keys missing between the semi-colon, and the "Enter" key.

Anyone have any good keyboard remapping tricks to make these keys more accessible?

TIA
