I have loaded ubuntu-mate from 0.4.15-17 through 0.5.5 and have been seeing the same behavior with desktops.
Initially everything is OK, I can open terminals, apps, etc... After some period of time, the screen will not respond to mouse click or allow focus (via mouse click).
Moving the mouse causes the screen to wake (from powersave mode), and the mouse moves. Also The screen continues to redraw, i.e. if I have a sysm monitor on the screen I see it updates. I cannot click on an open terminal, or do anything except move the mouse around.
The system is still responsive -- I can ssh into the rock64.
Is this a know issue? Is there a fix?
Many thanks,
Scott.
P.S.> I always started with a minimal image, and used install-deskop to get mate up an running.

How to set Keybindings for LCD Brightness in i3wm |
|

Greetings,
The purpose of this tutorial blog post is to describe how to setup LCD brightness keybindings in the i3wm tiling window manager , on your Pinebook.
Below I am providing a script which will be placed in /usr/local/sbin/lcd_bright.sh , which may be used to set the brightness of the LCD display in increments of +10 or -10. I will describe the step(s) necessary to activate the script via /etc/sudoers.d so that the keybindings ( bindsym ) in the i3 config can run as sudo without needing to prompt for the password !
First, the scripts... the first one is the lcd_bright.sh ( which does the work ) and the second one is the source file for /etc/sudoers.d which allows the bindsym to call lcd_bright.sh without a password.
lcd_bright.sh
Code: #!/bin/bash
#
# lcd_bright.sh v0.1a
#
# Mark H. Harris
# 08/31/2017
#
# Usage: lcd_bright.sh <U|D> <value>
#
MODE=`echo $1 |tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`
LCDVALUE=`cat /sys/class/backlight/lcd0/brightness`
if [ "$MODE" = "U" ]
then
NEWVALUE=$(( $LCDVALUE + $2 ))
if [ $NEWVALUE -le 100 ]
then
echo $NEWVALUE > /sys/class/backlight/lcd0/brightness
echo $NEWVALUE
else
echo $LCDVALUE
fi
else
NEWVALUE=$(( $LCDVALUE - $2 ))
if [ $NEWVALUE -gt 30 ]
then
echo $NEWVALUE > /sys/class/backlight/lcd0/brightness
echo $NEWVALUE
else
echo $LCDVALUE
fi
fi
lcd_bright_rules
Code: # lcd bright rules
Cmnd_Alias LCDBRIGHT=/usr/local/sbin/lcd_bright.sh
ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: LCDBRIGHT
Procedure:
Open a terminal and access root with :
sudo -i
Place the lcd_bright.sh script in the /usr/local/sbin/ directory.
Set the owner and group with :
cd /usr/local/sbin/
chown root lcd_bright.sh
chgrp root lcd_bright.sh
Make the script executable with :
chmod 0754 lcd_bright.sh
Place the lcd_bright_rules file in the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory.
Set the owner and group with :
cd /etc/sudoers.d
chown root lcd_bright_rules
chgrp root lcd_bright_rules
Set special read permissions with :
chmod 0440 lcd_bright_rules
At this point the system is setup to use the lcd_bright.sh script. The last step(s) necessary is to set the keybindings in the i3wm config file.
You do not need root permissions to do the following; if you're still in root# please exit.
exit
Change into the i3wm config directory for your default pine64 i3 user with :
cd ~/.config/i3/
Use your favorite editor to edit the config file.
Somewhere near the end of the other bindsym entries , add these two definitions :
Code: bindsym $mod+Shift+u exec sudo /usr/local/sbin/lcd_bright.sh u 10
bindsym $mod+Shift+d exec sudo /usr/local/sbin/lcd_bright.sh d 10
Save the file.
Re-read the config file with :
mod + Shift + c
Restart the i3wm tiling window manager with :
mod + Shift + r
Congratulations! Your brightness keybindings are set for i3wm.
To use the keybindings use :
mod + Shift + u (turns up the LCD backlight by 10)
mod + Shift + d (turns down the LCD backlight by 10)

Just got my new pinebook and played with it but ran out of system memory really quick. Now knowing I would I purchased the 64GB EMMC at the same time. My problem is that I followed all instructions and it says that there is no EMMC detected. The only info I can find on this in the forum is that not all are supported. I purchase mine when I ordered the pinebook. I opened a case about this a week ago and still haven't heard anything. Just wondering if there is a tip or trick I can use to get it up and running.

Hi,
I've installed the Ubuntu 16.04 Longsleep image and then I use the Z-wave EU pot module on euler bus.
Installing openzwave library (at openzwave) and node wrapper (at openzwave-shared).
It works correctly with the ZW090 Z-Stick Gen5 EU USB device (accessed on /dev/ttyACM0)
but with official pine64 z-wave pot module, on discovery, I don't found any device (the access setting in on the correct /dev/ttyS2).
The pine64 module is well found on /dev/ttyS2 interface but the at scan complete it show 0 device.
Here the 2 logs:
USB Stick on /dev/ttyACM0:

Somebody help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
PS. I would avoid to use OpenHAB.
