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

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?

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.

Is that air mouse

How can I test the camera?

What apps use the built-in camera?

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!

Hi folks,

I've just created this google spreadsheet to have a comparison on current Pinebook's 1080p OS:

Feel free to add content as it is opened to everybody.

Thanks.

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

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
