I have a 2gb pineA64+.  I used this image https://www.armbian.com/pine64/ and got a barebones termina.

Installed xorg and mate-desktop-environment through apt-get.  Now I am having a hardtime getting it to stick at booting.

I did add a line exec startx in ~/.profile. But it boots the pine64 and asks for credentials in terminal and only gets to the gui after credentials are entered.  I also couldnt fine /etc/default/grub toset it up there.

What am I missing here??

Is there any version of linux that has the following modules? 

module       : aesni_intel
module       : aes_x86_64

I am not sure uBoot will support NVMe SSD to boot off from PCIE x4 .

Anyone can test and tell me?

Really appreciated.

Hi

My Rockpro64 is in transit!, will not be long now, unless it languishes in UK customs.

Looking at this forum and the Wiki, I cannot find anything on a Linux system.

As  it is a new system, I suppose that we will have to compile our own kernel.   I have had a look at the Rockchip git pages.  There is a LOT of info there, it will be a severe learning curve to  read, understand and pick out the apposite  parts!

It would be very nice if Pine could add a quick tutorial on what is the best build environment, Rockchip have a good page:-

http://rockchip.wikidot.com/linux-user-guide

Is this the way to go? or is there a better document.

I am extremely rusty on kernel config and compilation, the last time I did it in anger was  years ago on Slack version 0.98  on a dozen 3.5inch floppies !!

as I say, a steep relearning curve.

Hello everyone, I am just relaying that 0.6.37 0.6.40 0.6.41 0.6.44 images from ayufan have been labeled 'release' and are hence the new stable go-to Linux OS image for the Rock64.

Bom Dia. Eu sou novo para isso e gostaria de ajuda, passei Xenial Mate (eMMC) diretamente para o meu Emmc com Etcher e usando o adaptador USB, ele ligou e pediu uma atualização de firmware do MicroSd para Emmc. Isso não terminou há 12 horas, algo está errado?

Hi All,

I had rock64 for over 6 moths now, and thanks to the LibreELEC image I was able to achieve the desired use case:

1. Kodi as the media player
   
2. Samba/NAS
   
3. Docker (via the Kodi plugin) to run multiple dockerized services (openHAB, mosquitto, syncthing, deluge). 
   

hi all,

after some keys lost working and finally a died space bar too, i am looking for a solution. the pinebook 11" bottom is not available, so i am thinking about using an alternative keyboard.

so my question is: does anyone know that keyboard connector? are there directly alternative keyboards, even if i have to build a new housing from scratch?

or do i have to replace all the stuff into another device and put on a usb keyboard?

(btw i found a guy who converted a thinkpad keyboard into an usb one...)

any thoughts?
