Hello Pinebook users,

I recently received my pinebook ( got it within 1 day of getting the shipping notice!), and  browsing at past issues it seems i have saved from the laptop being damaged or having dead pixels.

However i have a couple of other issues that i hope to get assistance with:
To start off with i am trying to use KDE Neon OS that shipped with the laptop

1. The volume does not always work, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't if i get lucky and restart the laptop a couple of time


2. What is the default password that shipped with the laptop?

3. I am trying to change resolution but can't find the option for it, i have however managed to enlarge the text size because size 10 on a 11.6 is pretty small is this is coming from someone who has a pretty decent near sighted vision ( i don't use glasses)

4. How do you customize the touchpad  sensibility and speed?  The current speed that this was shipped as is horrendous, its impossible to use it even simplistic tasks

5. Laptop sometimes gets stuck when booting KDE neon, it freezes right before it loads the UI and just hangs on a black screen. I get this issue 25% of the time and the way i solve it is by pressing the power button and starting the laptop again.


Additionally, for any other pinebook users or even the team itself is there a more reliable OS you would recommend ? Can i simply install it on an sd card and boot from there or must i take out the EMMC that it came with?

I like the look of the laptop though with all the fees i ended paying close to $150, which is somewhat disappointing considering that this thing doesn't work properly '' right out of the box ''.

I knew what i read online and saw others post  so i came to view this product  as a ''tinkering'' machine that needed to be personally adjusted.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Have been looking into getting a NAS and reading up about various options. Synologys aren't cheap.
I run a 2009 MacMini as a Plex server almost exclusively for music - and it's had a few issues lately.
I have some 2.5 inch drives that I could re-purpose so I was looking at a 'slim' version of the Synology NAS. It could run Plex without any transcoding - so it could be a backup Plex solution for my ageing MacMini if that died.
Then I happened upon a cheap 2011 MacMini on the local classifieds so I thought I could use the new MacMini as a home file-server and save the bucks from not buying a Synology.
Then I learnt that only 6 months ago Apple hobbled their MacOS Server software for reasons unknown.
Then, I bought my daughter a RasPi for her birthday and was doing some reading when I came across the idea of using SBCs for a NAS, and that's how I came to be here via some Youtube comparison videos. 

What I want to do with it:
Back up one Windows computer
Possibly backup one Mac Laptop
Central file storage shared incl external file access
Central file storage private "   "   "      "         "
Maybe run Plex or other media server if the MacMinis go south

So, my questions;
1) I have a Raidon Runner 2.5inch RAID enclosure (USB 3). Could I plug this into the Rock64/Rock64 Pro?
2) Is the Rock64 Pro necessarily a better choice for a NAS build than the Rock64 due to the increased RAM? 
3) Is the Rock64 stable enough? I have done some reading through these forums and there are obviously people having issues. I'm not formally trained with computers but consider myself above average. I would likely not be in a position to trouble-shoot if it didn't go to plan.
4) Will I be able to go from the 2 bay RAID above to something larger or 4 bay in the future?
5) Should I consider another SBC platform? Odroid/whatever

Thanks,

J

I have a standard Rock64 (not pro64) loaded with latest Android TV firmware. I am looking to get the device connected to adb.exe. I tinkered with it a little bit but after the installation of various USB drivers to get the Android TV device to be recognized by adb.exe via an USB A to A cable I was not able to get the device to be recognized by my PC running Windows 10. 

If in the future instructions for connecting Rock64 directly to Android Studio via adb.exe? Such that "adb.exe devices" command will detect the device?

I did put Rock64 Android TV into developer mode but that did not seem to help either.

Thank You!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive my pinebook a few days ago in upgraded 1080p version. However the official Android for 768p Pinebook does not boot (yes, I waited over 5 minutes, just black screen).

Therefore, does anyone know when any Android for 1080p Pinebook will be released? When will the official one appear?

It's a wonderful low-cost linux laptop, but for consuming multimedia content (streaming services) Android would be much better.

Hi.

I have the Pinebook a few days now and all in all it works great.
However I noticed that the original shipped OS (KDE) seems to be not a completely installed version.


I have this `First time run this installer` icon in the top ft of my desktop which is usually found on installer images.

Also the current installation uses only about 6 GB of the eMMC (16GB).

So what would be the next step to complete this installation ?

Currently my 11.6" Pinebook only has 1920x1080 screen resolution and I can't connect to another monitor via the hdmi cable. Is there a solution for this? Thanks

Pulse audio is not consistent and Alsa is not working either. Do we wait for a fix or is there a solution now? Thanks

Hello, there,

I ordered an eMMC card and a USB adapter from www.pine64org on 23.10, the invoice number is WC-94819. I paid via PayPal, the transaction number is 8LG41383XX283735A. 

Until today I have neither received an order confirmation nor a tracking number, absolutely nothing at all.

Did my order arrive???

I have a Pinebook 1080 11.6", and there is a key which doesn't map correctly.

I searched and found no answer, hopefully this has already been answered though.

Near my left shift key, I have a key with \ on the bottom and | on top, which are backslash and pipe.

However, when I use it to type, I get this:

<
> (with shift)

I don't know much about keymaps because I'm in the US and it always "just worked".

Do you have a fancy desktop with cool tweaks? Do you want to share that awesome config you have? Your latest OS customization? Then, share your screenshots!

Adding details on your os, setup, dotfiles, tweaks, etc for (imaginary) bonus points!
