Greetings,
The purpose of this post is to make the Pine Installer script available (on the forum) for Pinebook users who want to create SD cards on their Pinebook using the SD card slot, which will allow making SD cards directly on the Pinebook from the network; this script is similar to the pin64_install_to_emm.sh , as well the rock64_install_to_SD.sh.
The script does require the curl package, as well the jq package.
( This script allows you to burn Pinebook images from the network, to the SD card while booted from eMMC )
pinebook_install_to_SD.sh
Code: #!/bin/bash
set -eo pipefail

Place the script in the normal place /usr/local/sbin/pinebook_install_to_SD.sh
make the script executable with :
sudo chmod 0775 /usr/local/sbin/pinebook_install_to_SD.sh
sudo chown root /usr/local/sbin/pinebook_install_to_SD.sh
sudo chgrp root /usr/local/sbin/pinebook_install_to_SD.sh
To run the script and get usage:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/pinebook_install_to_SD.sh
To run the script and load xenial-i3 :
sudo /usr/local/sbin/pinebook_install_to_SD.sh xenial-i3
If you do not specify a version then the script will pull the most recent (non pre release) from the repos.
( This script allows you to burn Pinebook images from the network, to the SD card while booted from eMMC )

| Pinebook not booting for the 1st time |

I am experiencing very unfortunate event - pinebook that came to me does not boot. I hope the community can help me with this.
Here is my case:
After delivery I tried to start pinebook by hitting the power button. The green power led turned on and nothing happened - screen did not react, no flash, no out of battery sign as many other users had experienced. I powered it down (pressing power button for ~5 seconds), the green power light went off. Then I plugged the charger in and the green power led button turned on again and that's it, nothing else happened. Unplugging the cable does nothing. The plastic around the charger port does not get warmer but the camera does get warmer when the device is plugged in. I tried unplugging the power cord and closing the lid, as I could see the green led light is still on, does not react to the lid.
I let it charge overnight, tried plugging charging cable many times and it made no effect. No other led lights turned on so far.
I wrote a support ticket but still got no response (after 4 days 17 hours passed at the time of the writing of this post).
Does anyone know what can be done in this case? I will gladly do any debugging that could help.
Also, I am not sure if I can unscrew the screws and look into the insides of the laptop without voiding the 30-day warranty in case the device is defective/dead. Can I do that safely? I have a suspicion that it is that the display is not working (just an assumption as of now) so I want to see if it is all plugged correctly inside.
I would also appreciate any other information that can be useful in my case.
Thank you.

| Pinebook Solar charging |

Hello, I am pretty new here.
I got my Pinebook a few weeks ago and everything seems fine except a few flaws which are not as important to me for now.
Whats actually a great thing about the Pinebook is its battery-life...
I highly recommend buying the USB-to-Power Cord along with your Pinebook.
Now to my experiment. I challenged the Pinebook to LIVE WITHOUT A POWER OUTLET FOR TWO WEEKS.
And it went very well with my setup which is pretty low-end.
- Pinebook with USB powercord
- 700mWh Powermonkey Powerbar
- and a Solar Panel from Solarmonkey which has the same size as two large smartphones
So i tried working*/browsing with my Pinebook all (sunny) day while i let the powerbank charge, and if i needed power is would just plug it into the powerbank.
(If you plug it directly into the Solar panel it will only "slowly discharge")
If the weather really was bad (cloudy weather works) you could still work practically 24/7 for one day.
If you have a good weather condition and load the powerbank to full charge, you can work almost 2 days without sun.
The Pinebook is pretty happy with 4.3V for charging it seems.
*Sys- and Network-admin Stuff; Light Programming
tl;dr
So if you actually want to live off the grid for a few days or just wondered if you should buy a powerbank and/or a solar-panel for your Pinebook (and other Devices).
YES TOTTALLY DO IT, it works great. if you have a better/larger Solar Panel you could probably charge this thing.

| New Pinebook, having issues powering on... |

Hi All,
Just received my Pinebook 14" on Friday. Flat battery when it arrived, but after charging for an hour or so, it did power up.
I liked what I saw, however now I am now having an issue where it will not power on. Here is what I put in the ticket I posted (#1561)...
On Saturday I had some difficulty getting it to power on, but eventually it did. Today (Sunday), it will not power on. When I plug the cord in the red power light by the socket comes on, and the green power light on the keyboard lights, it then displays the battery charging symbol and shows that the battery is fully charged. Then the power light on the keyboard goes out. And I cannot get it to come back on. I have tried pressing the power button in multiple ways, and nothing happens. I have tried the sleep button (Fn-F1) and nothing happens.
Anyone else have this problem?
Also, I opened the ticket on Sunday and have as yet had no response? Anyone else know about how long it takes for them to respond?
Thank you for any help!

| Problems At Shutdown? |

I'm running the most current, stable kernel. Just pulled my Pinebook out of my briefcase to discover it didn't actually shutdown when I last ended a session (reworked a bit of code on the bus this am), and my battery is all but dead.
Anyone else experience something similar? Any thoughts on what logs I might look at to start to get to the bottom of things?

| rant - userland is 32-bit |

Part of the reason I bought the Rock64 is to have a decent aarch64 system with more RAM and faster USB than some of my other ARM64 SBCs. Today while trying to build one of my projects, I discovered that the Linaro Linux distributed with the Rock64 has a 64-bit kernel, but 32-bit userland. This caused my build script to fail because uname returns only aarch64 as the system type. Besides this very disappointing news, so far, I've encountered the following issues with the board:
1) No SPI driver in current linux distribution
2) USB loses power and won't respond
3) Missing wifi drivers for my wifi dongles
4) Half of the GPIO header is unusable because it has conflicts or has been repurposed
What's the point of selling a 64-bit board that only runs 32-bit software? The Cortex-A53 is an old, slow ARM design and it's only benefit is that it supports the ARMv8 register model and instruction set. A new build of Linux can fix this 32/64-bit situation, but the other problems on my list will keep me from ever using it in projects. It looks like this board will join many others collecting dust in the desk drawer of shame.

| Keyboard commands for Android |

I was wondering if anyone had good keyboard commands to perform the function of the "HOME" key in android
I know ESC works for BACK and ALT+TAB works for recent apps. But nothing seems to work for me for "HOME", surprisingly the "HOME" key on the keyboard doesn't do it.
I'm using a TV remote coupled with the FLIRC adapter and it works great for android. Works 100% flawlessly with KODI so I may use KODI as my front-end.

/etc/debian_version says 8.9 and i installed the pine64-image-debianmate-310102bps-2.img

How do I fix this?
