Hello everyone recently i got the idea of using again my pine 64 but this time to make a Arcade Cabinet , i was asking myself how should i deal with the buttons and with the OS i was planning of workinf with Linux Ubuntu and retroarch thanks of helping me for my future project .

Hello;
I use PuTTy to connect to the OMV ROCK 64.


I just want to connect simply with login and password.
I try to add a SSH public key, but no success.
So i delete PuTTY, clean config and reinstall.
I try to connect simply with login and password.
But when i put the login, this message appears.

'PuTTY Disconnected : no supported authentification methods available (server sent : publickey)'

Putty stop at :

Hi,

I wrote a script to control my fan.
The fan speed is controlled by the temp of the CPU.
I'm pretty new to bash so I'm hoping for some feedback and off course is everybody free to use the script how they like. 

Hi,

I connected a msata SSD (Samsung EVO 850) mounted in a case with USB3 to lower USB Type A plug. Then I copied root & swap onto it and replaced initrd and modified uDev.txt to set root filesystem on SSD

The whole process is described in this threaqd https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1114

In theory works fine. But after some time my pine just freezes out of nowhere. Sometimes it runs for minutes some times hours but sooner or later it locks up which is just a situation which I cannot accept as it's designed to run openHAB.

Does anybody have any input what might cause this before I throw the pine a64 into trash and switch back to rasperry pi3 which can boot directly from USB connected msata. I already have built 2 of these configurations and they just run and run and run.

Would be great to get any help, because the pine is much more powerful especially because I have the 2 GB version then the pi3 but it gave me so much headache so far that I'm really close to sell it and never try it again. Pine A64 support from creators also just sucks.

Update: I spoke with @ayufan on IRC, and let him know.  He is going to address the situation.

Hi,

I have been using the Ayufun pre-release kernel with great results.  Recently, I am seeing an error when I perform an apt-get update.  Here is what appears:

Just a heads up; Firefox 57 is out and its really fast on the Pinebook - massive performance increase over 56 even on sites riddled with horrible ads. 

Using the tweaks I posted some time back it makes for really usable browsing.

I'm using my Pinebook on a daily base. Actually, this is my No#1 portable, taking it everywhere with me.
I use it extensively for web browsing, email, remote controlling Linux and Windows desktops (FreeRDP, X2Go).

So, it is in real production use.

I'm not sure if it arrived like this or changed over time but I realized that it has a kind of pixel errors now.
These are larges ares, I mean more pixel than one. They are lighter then their surroundings and are best visible
when the screen is white.

I made a photo of it (slightly enhanced in GIMP).

What could it be? Will it be worse?



thanks
Robert

Hi, I often get an error spinlock lockup suspected on CPU#X where x is cpu core number from 0 to 3, one after another. When that occurs in terminal everything freezes and the only way is to reboot the device using force poweroff. It's popping up only under stress (at least 30-50% of all cores) in Chrome for instance. I'm using a 13x13x10 mm radiator with average quality thermal paste. Temperature is about 50-65 Celsius degrees. I'm using latest Ubuntu Artful build. Is it possible that it's caused by thermal issue? Hardware Issue? Or maybe it's because unstable distro?


Please go easy on me, I'm rather beginner.

Please help make that happen.

So I have pi this and pi that, I bought them from uncle Ma, I'll like to try rock64 2G. Please help make that happen, maybe put one on uncle Ma's "SALTFISH"?   please?
