  Noob help installing Flash
Posted by: shoult - 08-07-2017, 02:35 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (5)

Yep. I'm a Linux noob for sure. I bought a Pine64+ 2GB (No Wifi/BT and using HDMI for video) for a project here at work. My problem is that the project REQUIRES Flash. I had no idea that Linux and Android both made it so difficult to simply install Flash. Can someone here point me to directions on how to install Flash on the Pine64+ version of Ubuntu-Mate? Since Firefox is already installed in the Pine64 version (Xenial Mate [20161215] built by PINE64)? it would be most helpful if the directions are tailored to that.

Or is there another version of Linux that has Flash pre-baked?

  LCD modding discussion
Posted by: MarkHaysHarris777 - 08-07-2017, 10:36 AM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - Replies (2)

The purpose of this obscure post is to document some modding discussion, high-lighting the lcd module clips and showing some close-ups of the lcd pane.


               


In the pic(s) above the clips which hold the lcd module in place are clearly seen. What is not clear is whether any glue (sticky goo) has been used as well during the manufacturing process.


   


Also not certain is what holds the glass pane in place (see pic above) ;  I suspect glue or sticky good substance at the edges of the pane.  Removing the module may be fairly straight-forward, but removing the necessary glass pane may be a trick;  and, the glass pane is definitely needed for touch, and may also be required for proper viewing as well due to the nature of polarized light through the display.


  eMMC ?
Posted by: stuartiannaylor - 08-07-2017, 09:58 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (2)

Just a thought but just ordered a rock64 4gb + PSU & 32GB eMMC module.

Usually I use a SD card and basically just copy the image via a card reader and hey presto.

Whilst I am waiting for delivery I am wondering how do I get the image onto the eMMC?

Never had a SBC with eMMC so a total noob question Smile


  Issue with NTP (Network Time Protocol) and RTC (Real Time Clock), timedatectl
Posted by: emilhem - 08-07-2017, 07:37 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - No Replies

I have a Pine64 2GB without anything extra attached (like WiFi, RTC battery, or monitor).

I have installed the ntp package and timedatectl reports the time and date being synchronized. The issue is that the time displayed is off by two hours (and a second).

Code:
     Local time: Mon 2017-08-07 17:28:06 CEST
 Universal time: Mon 2017-08-07 15:28:06 UTC
       RTC time: Mon 2017-08-07 15:28:07
      Time zone: Europe/Stockholm (CEST, +0200)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no

The actual local time is 15:28:07, not 17:28:06

You might then tell me to set timedatectl set-local-rtc true but this causes the following message to appear the next time I run timedatectl
Code:
     Local time: Mon 2017-08-07 17:30:13 CEST
 Universal time: Mon 2017-08-07 15:30:13 UTC
       RTC time: Mon 2017-08-07 17:30:12
      Time zone: Europe/Stockholm (CEST, +0200)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: yes

Warning: The system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time zone.
        This mode can not be fully supported. It will create various problems
        with time zone changes and daylight saving time adjustments. The RTC
        time is never updated, it relies on external facilities to maintain it.
        If at all possible, use RTC in UTC by calling
        'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.


This means that the local time is still wrong and that the warning is suggesting me not to use set-local-rtc.

What should I do to make the local, UTC and RTC time correct?


  Pine64 1gb running so very slowly
Posted by: Greekislandlover - 08-07-2017, 05:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (5)

"
I've had mine for about a week, and to be honest I'm disappointed. It runs excruciatingly slowly on android. In fact it's un useable. I have a Sandisk 32gb class 10 card and a fresh image. I have an Ethernet connection to it that is good. Any ideas please?


  SPI on ubuntu
Posted by: IlyaM - 08-07-2017, 03:41 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (4)

Hey everyone! I found that SPI is disabled in Ubuntu kernel, and I need to turn it on rebuild the kernel. I'm going to use SPIdev. Is any step by step tutorial how to do this one? Or maybe is there completed built Ubuntu with enabled SPI? I don't have an experience for rebuilding kernel. 

Thanks in advance!


Information Beginners Guide: Locating your board, connecting to it.
Posted by: Ptheven - 08-07-2017, 03:23 AM - Forum: Rock64 Tutorials - Replies (5)

This is a brief guide for beginners who are visiting the forum. I will be going through the following: 

Finding out the IP address of your Rock64 Board when its not connected to a display (Headless) 
Connecting to your board via SSH
Setting up a Hostname (to connect to your Board even if the IP address is Dynamic)
Setting up a Static IP and fixing DNS


Prerequisites:

Rock 64 SBC

MicroSD card flashed with Linux Ethernet Connection

Android/iOS device with access to the app store. 





Finding out the IP address of your SBC





The first step, before plugging in your Rock64 would be to use a Network scanning app to find out and list all the devices on your network. I personally use Fing: 

Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...fing&hl=en

Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/fing-net...21107?mt=8

I have an Android phone, the iPhone interface should be largely similar. 

After the app is installed, run a network scan. Note the number in the top right corner, denoting the number of currently connected devices.

Then, turn on the Rock 64 Board. While you wait for it to turn on, You might want to change some settings to make it easier to find your new device. 

Tap on the Wifi Network name to open up the Local Network settings page: 

[Image: q7X108R.jpg]


Select "Sort Devices" and choose "Last Change" 

[Image: oQLF9ZY.jpg]

That should result in any new devices being listed near the top. The Rock64 Board should have booted by now. You'll know by checking the LEDs: Green - DC connected, White - Power, Red - Standby

[Image: CTBiCVs.jpg]

Now that the board has booted up, go back to the main Fing Screen and click the refresh button to initiate a new scan. if the Rock64 successfully booted and connected to the network (via DHCP), you should see a new item on the list: 

[Image: QlZ9nMt.jpg]

As you can see, there are a few more devices on my network, the Rock64 (the other device was my phone that came out of deep sleep, it had "Apple" written on the left, so I knew that wasnt the Rock64). 

We have the IP address of the Rock64, but we can do one more step to confirm, click on the item to open its page, then select "scan services" 

[Image: 6g4V8g2.png]

The app will commence a scan, and within a few seconds, you should see one service discovered: 

[Image: QOv113m.jpg]

This confirms that the device is most likely the Rock64, unless you have had another device connected to your Wifi network that happens to be running an SSH server. 




Note down the IP and MAC address. Depending on your Router (and DHCP) configuration, rebooting your Rock 64 board or your Router might result in the IP address of the Rock 64 Changing. However, the MAC address should stay the same. Simply do a scan using the app to find the IP address of your board if you suspect the IP address has changed.

  TP-Link AC600 T2UH wireless usb device

  Inserting power supply resumes from suspend
Posted by: daid - 08-07-2017, 02:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (8)

I'm currently running my pinebook on the default Ubuntu Mate installation with updated kernel/bootloaders.
I did replace the Mate window manager with something more light weight.

And I noticed the other day that my battery had discharged beyond my expectations. Some testing later I noticed that whenever I plug in or remove the power supply it leaves "suspend" mode. And thus causes a lot more battery drain. Anyone know why this happens and if we can prevent it?
