  Hulu and location
Posted by: Dagur - 08-03-2017, 04:07 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hi

I'm trying to use the Hulu app but when it starts up it tries to find my location and fails every time (doesn't matter what my location settings are, I just get "unknown location").

I tried two different location spoofing apps but they don't seem to work (I tried both the android 6 and 7 images).

Is anyone here using this app?


  Ship date question
Posted by: jl_678 - 08-02-2017, 05:28 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (65)

So the Rock64 initially indicated a ship date of 7/31.  Has anyonr actually received shipping confirmation?  

The date has now moved to 8/30, and I am trying to understand if this is a slippage of all ship dates or if this relates to new orders and that previous orders were still shipping on or near 7/31.  In case it matters, I ordered on 7/14 and have not seen any shipping confirmation information.

Thank you!


Question HELP Ubuntu Mate password recovery procedure
Posted by: Captain Anni Hilator - 08-01-2017, 08:31 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (5)

Greetings from a Pine64 Ubuntu Mate newbie! 

I have set up Ubuntu Mate on a Pine64 2GB a month ago to "not ask password at login". The problem now is I somehow have forgotten the password for root and I cannot do updates and upgrades, installation/removal/purge of packages.

Tried some web searches for recovering the root password (pressing "shift" or "Cntrl" at bootup to access GRUB) but those procedures presented were not applicable for Pine64 Ubuntu Mate (cannot access GRUB).

If there is a better recovery procedure, I (and probably a lot of others) will be more than happy follow it so that I can recover/reset the password.

As of now I can still access/use my Ubuntu Mate as a Linux desktop, but would like to start updating it to the latest available updates/upgrades.

Many thanks!


Video DVD Ripping
Posted by: joey - 07-31-2017, 04:57 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (11)

I am working on a project to rip all of my physical DVDs to digital files, and sharing them on my network via minidlna from my Pine board. Right now, I am using DVD Decrypter+Handbrake on my Windows box, and I'm getting decent enough rips. I'm wondering if it makes sense to connect a USB DVD drive and rip directly on the pine using something like handbrake-cli. Would the USB have enough bandwidth to do both reading from the DVD and then writing to the 1TB drive? Or am I better off sticking with my Windows box doing the rips and just copying the files across the network once the rip is complete? Has anyone else attempted to do something like this already? If so, do you have any scripts you can share to make my life easier?


  Auto-starting apps?
Posted by: Green Cherry - 07-31-2017, 04:19 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (4)

Hi

Does anyone know how to auto-start apps on boot?

For some reason, Tasker does not do this by default, and I have tried AutoStarter, Startup Manager (Free), Autostart - no root, but no luck yet.

I'm on Android 6.0.1, using a 2Gb board.

Thanks!


  No sound on Android 6 or 7.1
Posted by: reeno - 07-29-2017, 06:31 PM - Forum: Getting Started - No Replies

I've got Android 5.1.1 working perfectly and decided to try both the Android 6 and 7.1 releases from official sites.  I get them to boot up fine and edited the appropriate txt file to make sure its displaying on hdmi fine.  However, both 6 and 7.1 have no sound output. 

I can toggle sound settings up and down to adjust volume but problem seems to be that the sound doesnt output via hdmi to my TV.  Tried also plugging headphones into audio out jack and still no sound.

Was there a specific config edit I needed to make to fix this, and could someone point me in the right direction?


  ufw fails from terminal ufw.frontend module missing
Posted by: lisanke - 07-29-2017, 03:15 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (3)

I'm trying to setup iptables and I see ubuntu xenial uses ufw as a frontend. I tried ufw from the terminal but see ufw.frontend module missing error. I looked to apt-get install ufw-frontend but that's a deadend package according to google searches. It's confusing.. appears maybe Mate was setup to gufw frontend ufw with no command line but this doesn't work for me either. gui accepts password but opens no dialog to configure firewall. 

I see iptables and can access /etc/ufw/user.rules from root but didn't want to Just Modify this directly without some playing. I don't see any iptables rules files in root and assume iptables-save -restore scenarios wont work... that ufw loads iptables at boot.

Has anyone worked with the pinebook ubuntu firewall (ufw or other means)? If not, I'd be very surprised. I assume this is local configuration of ubuntu xenial mate for pinebook causing the problems Only because there's no google search results solving it BUT there's also nothing on ufw in Pine64 forum before this thread.

Thanks for any comments/questions and especially constructive suggestions/solutions. Thanks again, Mike

  Android 6.0 for Pine64+ 1G and Pine LCD
Posted by: Tanveer - 07-28-2017, 09:33 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

.My Pine64+ device is working properly with android-ver6.0.1-lcd-version-20170209-pine64-8GB.img. downloaded from the wiki.

There is no display on LCD with the img got from source code of Android 6.0 from https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/local_m...arshmallow

I have tried different ways:

1. uncommented disp_screen0=lcd in uEnv.txt; no display on LCD with device resetting again n again. Please see UAR text at: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25169088/

2. https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...ndroid+6.0        To enable LCD, edit uEnv.txt from BOOT partition and uncomment: pine64_lcd=on; pine64_lcd=on is not present in uEnv.txt file. I have added this statement in the file its still no working.

Please give me settings for LCD for Android 6.0 source code.

OR

Please give me some document having details about LCD as well as all kind of parameter / settings.

Regards,
