Hi,

thanks to the great Q4os developers I now have a quite decent Debian Stretch system running.  After I managed to flash the eMMC with Q4os I simply editet sources.list to point to Stretch instead of Jessie and did a dist-upgrade.   I needed to fiddle a bit with the graphics since X was lost but rebuilding libump and xf86-video-fbturbo under Stretch did the trick.  (I'm a Debian developer and might consider creating at least an official libump package - need to check the license of fbturbo whether it is acceptable in Debian.)

I now try to get some reliable information about the battery status.  I'm using xfce4 but the battery plugin always says the battery is empty (even if I get a desktop notification that the battery is full when plugging in power adapter.

The command acpi does not work.

How do others check the battery status on pinebook?

Kind regards

Hey, my board keeps crashing on startup. I haven't been able to use it over the past 2 weeks. I've been formatting my SD cards and have even bought several new ones, but it doesnt seem to have made an effect. What steps can I take for trouble shooting? 

Could it be a power supply issue?

Just in case anyone else is having a similar problem.

My Pinebook has had a history of just shutting off at random occasions after a couple of months light use.  I had put this down to the development status of the system, however, it was getting more and more common, occasionally refusing to boot, so much so I was starting to be convinced it was hardware.  
I opened the thing up and removed the tape covering the cable from the battery to the mainboard.  The left hand side of the socket on the board was broken and the connector came away with the tape.    
The bend in the power cables meant it would not stay in position, and I didn't want to blob some epoxy on the connector in case of future upgrades.  So, several strips of tape to route the battery power leads in position and reseating the connector and it now works perfectly.  I had been worried it would be a dodgy capacitor somewhere, but a relatively simple fix.

One thing I did notice with the system when I thought it was software based was that while I was looking at the system logs in an ssh session is that the USB system lost power and came back.

Anyway, if anyone else has a similar problem with random system crashes / power offs, it may be worth a look.

Android 7.1 (SOPINE) v0.3.10-r66

Anyone get Stock Build Android 7.1.2 (20170809) rooted? iRoot said it is rooted but SuperSU and Free Root Checker respond with root not available.

Hello, 

I'm trying to understand why my pine64+ keeps hanging after 3 days or so. 

I'm using it as Plex Server (direct play) and it's works very well but when it became unreacheable from the network and I suspect the board hangs. How can I debug the problem? which logs can help me?
Maybe a temperature problem? 
Any hint would be great.

I've installed an ubuntu and plex as this guide says: http://jez.me/article/plex-server-on-a-pine64-how-to. In fact I've a rpi-monitor installed too and sometimes the temperature is near 90ºC but normally is 70-75ºC  in playing mode.

thanks in advance.

How can I buy the parts to assembly it by myself?


Many thanks in advance   !

Hi,

Is there a linux distro that support pine64 & the LCD touch screen that is sold with it ?

besides the Android images i mean.

a linux desktop that works with the LCD + touch.

Thank you,

J-F

Is the new Pine64 really worth your hard earned money?
Can it generate enough momentum to take over the king of SBCs, the Raspberry Pi 3?
