  How to enable touchpad natural scrolling?
Posted by: plumlis - 12-03-2018, 06:47 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (3)

Two-fingered scrolling is working fine, but is there a way that I can reverse the direction (natural scrolling) in KDE Neon?
I found some options in Settings but doesn't work.
And it seems KDE neon doesn't recognised touchpad too.


Exclamation Don't use 5A !
Posted by: vdo - 12-03-2018, 04:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (2)

I've been using the rockpro64 for first time today, with a power plug I bought separately 12V 5A. 

The first attempts to boot were a total failure with the keyboard leds blinking so something was going wrong for sure. 
Tried many SD cards until I got the board working. 
Surprise : the wifi module is not supported.... Confused  ok let's use a USB wifi dongle.

After some minutes my RockPro64 was simply disconnecting from the wifi, lagging in the console, and finally freezing.
In theory if you provide a higher Amp, the board should only drain what it needs... but then I tried a 2A power source I had around and all the problems were gone. The board was working as it was sopposed to do, with IPFS running for hours.

I've seen other posts about having problems with 5A.
So... keep your boards down to 3A. My suspicion is that 5A are only needed when you have LCD screen or other power consuming accessories connected.


  Armbian enable toucscreen right-click
Posted by: burningkrome - 12-03-2018, 03:05 PM - Forum: Armbian - No Replies

I'm using the Pine A64+ from the original Kickstarter (4 core, 1GB RAM) and the 7" touchscreen ordered directly from Pine64.

I downloaded an Armbian image from here (Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS). The touchscreen worked out of the box for both video and left-click...but not touchscreen based right-click (neither two finger of long touch). Nothing I've found online has worked to enable it.

Does anyone now how to enable right click in Armbian with touchscreen?

Thx


  Pinebook X11 cursor gone after updating ayufan 0.7.30
Posted by: fatalhalt - 12-02-2018, 10:15 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - No Replies

I ran apt-get update && upgrade on 16.04 xenial OS by ayufan and now the X11 cursor in MATE DE is missing and kernel keeps spewing out ~15 errors every 1 millisecond saying: [drm] destroy non-config mem. Any ideas? The laptop is unusable.


  RTL8812AU driver and connection issues
Posted by: pane - 12-02-2018, 05:31 PM - Forum: Rock64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (7)

Hi All,

I managed to get the RTL8812AU driver working with the help of evilbunny. However, I am having connection issues, and power saving issues.

Power save issues seem to occur when the driver is not connecting to wifi. Fair enough, but when I use nmtui to connect to the wifi, my gui gets spammed with the "nolinked power save leave/enter" messages. It would be nice if there was a way to disable this either in startup or the driver itself.

Additionally, is there a process which works better than others for connections? I am unable to connect to networks 95% of the time with nmtui. Would anyone advocate for using wpa_supplicant or something else entirely for stable connections?

Thanks for your time
pane


  mmc r/w errors after setting GPIO
Posted by: chema - 12-02-2018, 05:23 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - No Replies

Hi,

I have a Pine64-LTS with 16GB eMMC, running the Stretch minimal Sopine kernel by Ayufan (https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases).

I am trying to install a 3G hat in the Pi bus, and need to enable some GPIO pins. I have followed the tutorial that pfeerick wrote in this forum (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=2088).



I am working with GPIOS 6 (230 in Pine) and 21 (75 in Pine). Just need to put them as output with the 1 value. But a few seconds or minutes (less than 10 minutes) afters setting these GPIOS, I lost the capacity to read or write to the disk (the emmc). It happens even when there is not anything connected to the Pi bus.
These are the errors that I can see in the syslog:

Nov 30 20:02:42 sopine kernel: [169456.474748] sunxi-mmc 1c11000.sdmmc: smc 0 p2 err, cmd 18, RD SBE !!

Nov 30 20:02:42 sopine kernel: [169456.504094] mmcblk0: not retrying timeout

Nov 30 20:02:42 sopine kernel: [169456.508595] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1116624

Nov 30 20:02:42 sopine kernel: [169456.515171] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1116632


I have tried several combinations (with or without ataching a hat), but it always happens after touching these GPIOs.


Have anyone see before a problem like this?

Thanks!
Regards
Chema


  Arduino IDE translucent fonts
Posted by: oloturia - 12-02-2018, 12:38 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (1)

I have an odd problem. The IDE by Arduino has transparent fonts. It's usable only if the window below is dark, however the menus are unreadable, as they appear over the IDE itself.

I found out that disabling the window compositor solves this issue (alt+shift+f12) anyway it gives others, like an annoying flickering of the panel that sometimes disappears for a while.
I tried disabling the graphical eye candies, but with no luck. Only disabling the screen compositor works.


I'm running the stock Linux version.


  Is a 14" 1080p Pinebook coming?

  PineA64 battery in Germany (specifications or alternatives)
Posted by: burningkrome - 12-02-2018, 04:10 AM - Forum: DC Power In - No Replies

I'm using the PineA64 (from the original Kickstarter). 

I live in Germany. 

I'd like to get a battery pack for it, but unfortunately Pine64's store will no longer ship the battery overseas. My goal is to find an equivalent battery here in Germany, preferably on Amazon.de.

I've looked up the part number of the battery here, found the specification sheet here, as well as looked at the available documents here in the Wiki. It appears to be a JST three pin connector - with red as power, black as neg/ground, and yellow as ??? (I have no idea) - but I can't confirm. [/url]

Can someone confirm both the connector type and the pinout for me - or perhaps just recommend a compatible battery model sold here in Germany (easiest way to find one might be to go to [url=https://www.amazon.de/]Amazon.de
 directly?). 

Thanks!


  Debian Stretch with GUI

Is there a desktop version for the Debian Stretch? I see there is a Minimal version to download here: http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCKPro...5B0.7.9.5D.
but I'm looking for a version with a GUI...
