  weird errors on boot
Posted by: Mentaluproar - 03-18-2018, 08:39 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (9)

When I tried flashing the latest release OpenMediaVault 64bit image to emmc, I got a never ending stream of sector errors.  It stopped when I put in an sd card and tried booting again.  Later, I connected my external hard drives and UPS.  The thing kept redecting all USB devices over and over, and never completing a boot.

I tried booting off microSD withthe Sd to eMMC image, and the first time, it loaded and couldn't complete the dd.  I rebooted and did it again, without disconnecting power and this time it worked, but rebooted to the above issues again.

Is the rock64 board still not ready for prime time yet? Do I have a bad eMMC? What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Hi all. According to Android my current system is
Pine64
Android 7.1.2
Kernel 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-20170513

My question is should I think about upgrading? Is Android still being worked on? 

My system does most things I need - Kodi 17.6 works, networking is ok, YouTube works. Occasionally I get some jerking movement on the edges of the screen if for example I watch some video of a freight train flying past. My display looks ok. It appears to be 1080p but some Youtube videos run at a lower resolution. I have studied the forums, looked at the Pine64 wiki, and followed many links. In the end I am not sure about upgrading. Any ideas? I could go to armbian and perhaps load kodi from there. It has active development at least.

someone from this forum uses the Pi-2 bus or the Pi-P5 + bus on Android?
Has anyone tested the audio board with ethernet on android?

on other boards, the pins are popular for hyperion / led strips or automated control in the smart home area. are there any similar projects for the rock?

  Python 3.5 to be upgraded?
Posted by: S3phi40T - 03-17-2018, 03:02 AM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - No Replies

Guys,

I'm experiencing issue with Python.

Code:
Exception ignored in: <function WeakValueDictionary.__init__.<locals>.remove at                                                                                                                                                              0xf691d3d8> Traceback (most recent call last):  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py", line 117, in remove TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable Exception ignored in: <function WeakValueDictionary.__init__.<locals>.remove at                                                                                                                                                              0xf691d3d8> Traceback (most recent call last):  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py", line 117, in remove TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

As per my google-fu, it's due to python 3.5 and it's resolved in later versions.
Any ideas?

I downloaded the stretch desktop img and tested yesterday, usb3.0 and gigalan works out of the box.

The link on download page vanishes today, but you can still find it https://dl.armbian.com/

  [Warning: root device does not exist] Can not install generic kernel on ROCK 64?
Posted by: pine3228 - 03-16-2018, 05:40 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - No Replies

I thought about upgrading the kernel, as a result of searching with apt-cache, there was a package named linux - image - 4.15.0 - 10 - generic and I tried to install it,

Warning: root device does not exist

And it was displayed. I tried restarting terribly, but running the uname -a did not bring up the kernel version.
The OS is ununtu bionic. The friend's PC had lubuntu artful and the CPU was amd64, but I feel that this message was still there even here. What should I do?

Original text

カーネルをアップグレードしようと思いapt-cacheで検索した結果、linux-image-4.15.0-10-genericというパッケージがあったのでインストールしようと思ったのですが、

Warning: root device does not exist

と表示されてしまいました。恐る恐る再起動してみましたが、uname -aを実行してもカーネルのバージョンは上がっていませんでした。

OSはununtu bionicです。友人のPCにはlubuntu artful が入っていて、CPUはamd64でしたが、こちらでもこのメッセージが出ていたことがあった気がします。どうすればよいのですか?

Hello everyone. There has been a lot of questions about the RockPro64 availability in recent 24hrs. The release of the board has been pushed back until end of April due to testing and incorporation of a new feature. 

More updates coming this and the next month.
