  Help debug my pine64A+ ubuntu/plex hangs
Posted by: XaRz - 09-18-2017, 05:17 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (8)

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.

  it is worth the money

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?


Information How to set the Power Off key binding in i3wm for the Pinebook
Posted by: MarkHaysHarris777 - 09-16-2017, 10:21 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (4)

Greetings,

The purpose of this blog post is to detail the steps necessary to set the Power Off key-binding for the Pinebook in i3 window manager.  We don't want the Pinebook to come crashing down if we accidentally touch the poweroff button -- so we'll set a key-binding that makes sense requiring at least two other keys , for instance the $mod key and the Shift key.  The following key-binding should bring the system down cleanly ( and power off properly ) without prompting for a password:

       $mod+Shift+XF86_PowerOff 

The key-binding will be placed in the i3 config;  but I'm getting ahead of myself.  The first step is to build the poweroff script in /usr/local/sbin/

Pb_poweroff.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh

poweroff

The simple script above should be placed in  /usr/local/sbin/  and should be made active with the following commands:

       sudo  chown  root:root  Pb_poweroff.sh

       sudo  chmod  0754  Pb_poweroff.sh

The next step is to place a rule file in  /etc/sudoers.d/  so that the command trigger will not prompt for the sudo password when the key-binding is pressed.  Creat the following rule file in /etc/sudoers.d/  :

Pb_power_rule

Code:
# Pb power rule
Cmnd_Alias PBPOWEROFF=/usr/local/sbin/Pb_poweroff.sh
ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: PBPOWEROFF

Place the above rule file in the  /etc/sudoers.d/  directory and activate with the following commands :

       sudo  chown  root:root  Pb_power_rule

       sudo  chmod  0440  Pb_power_rule

The last step is to place the following bindsym entry in the i3 configuration  ~/.config/i3/config  , in your home directory:

       bindsym  $mod+Shift+XF86_PowerOff  exec  sudo  /usr/local/sbin/Pb_poweroff.sh

Place the above bindsym entry somewhere near the end of your i3 config after the "resize"  and before the "bar".  The configuration file is  ~/.config/i3/config

Activate the key-binding by either pressing $mod+Shift+c to re-read the config,  or $mod+Shift+r to restart i3wm.

Theory

Pressing the Pinebook power button returns scancode 124;  key-sym XF86_PowerOff.  This by default does nothing in i3wm;  unlike other OS window manager | desktops  ,  which typically pulls up the shutdown dialogue.

With our keybinding in effect the Pb_poweroff.sh script will be called with sudo,  and because the Pb_power_rule file exists in /etc/sudoers.d/  the command trigger will not prompt for the password,  but the poweroff command will simply take effect:   while holding down the mod key,  and the Shift key together,  press the power button and the i3 window manager will exit and the system will cleanly shutdown and power off.

  Octoprint
Posted by: Cellarboy - 09-16-2017, 10:04 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (3)

Sorry if this is a dumb or frequently asked question, but is there a working Octoprint build for the Rock64? I’m weighing up going the easy route and just just getting a Raspberry Pi, but I do like the idea of having a board with a bit more grunt or processing headrooom that the Rock64 seems to offer.

Many thanks in advance.

Is this cable barrel compatible with the Rock64 Board?


  how to share pine folder with windows?
Posted by: ealbers - 09-16-2017, 04:36 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hello!
I installed ubuntu Mate on my pines, I'd like to share folders between them and windows...

In regular ubuntu, if you right click on a folder there is a sharing option, I don't see that in Mate.

Can anyone tell me please how to share folders between the pines and windows?

Thanks!


Sad Rock64 crash randomly during usb 3 copy with RAID1 drive
Posted by: phalae - 09-15-2017, 03:49 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (24)

Hello Everyone Smile

I really enjoy this Rock64 so far Smile

Unfortunatelly, I have an issue with my USB 3.0 drive resulting in a frozen state :-(

I'm using this TerraMaster USB drive (http://www.terra-master.com/html/en/arti..._1190.html) as a RAID1 USB 3.0 drive solution, it's working, but something is wrong, sometimes, while transfering data via SMB copy,the rock64 end up frozen. Why I try to SSH or anything, the Rock64 is completely frozen. So I have to unplug/replug the power cable.

I don't know how to deal with this issue, but I can see this error message during boot https://pastebin.com/Fi3XsPcY

Maybe it's the TerraMaster the problem I don't where to start Smile
