  Recovering root access in Ubuntu
Posted by: Scientomancer - 07-26-2017, 01:05 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (3)

Yesterday I had cause to add the ubuntu user to the www-data group. I believe I did this:

Code:
# usermod -G www-data ubuntu

Since then, I am unable to become root. If I try to sudo -i, I am told

Code:
Sorry, user ubuntu is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash' as root on pine64.

This happens no matter what command I try to run. sudo vim /etc/sudoers?


Code:
Sorry, user ubuntu is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/vim /etc/sudoers' as root on pine64.


I don't actually know if adding ubuntu to a group caused this; it's just the biggest change I've made, and I can't think of anything else I've done that would cause this.

Thanks!


  Rock64 power consumption

First of all, congrats for a very interesting product. 

THe board looks very good from a specs. point of view, but what about the power consumption?
How much power does it need in idle and how much power does consume under full load?


  Connecting SSD through SATA

Is there a way, or a prebuilt component I can buy to connect my SBC to SSD using SATA? (not USB to SATA).
Thanks


  Strange OpenSSL RSA speed Test issue
Posted by: _835_ - 07-26-2017, 05:51 AM - Forum: Debian - Replies (2)

Hi guys,


i require your helps and ideas.

i run openssl speed rsa to evaluate the power of my PINE64+ board (i am a crypto guy).



i was a litle bit surprised to see big difference using different distribs :

 - the Debian Jessie with Mate DE [3.10.102 BSP 2] by Lenny Raposo    show me a nice 9.6 4096bits Private RSA / sec



while other dietPI and armbian get stuck to 6.4 4096bits Private RSA / sec.



So i decide to upgrade both the Debian Jessie Mate and dietPI to the latest kernel 3.10.105, run package update, then i force the CPU setting got from the debian to the dietPI :

sampling_down_factor = 1

sampling_rate = 2000000

sampling_rate_min=40000

up_threshold = 95



but got same result dietPI still show me  6.4 4096bits Private RSA / sec.

What do i miss ?


Any helps appreciate, thanks a lot


  7" Screen - Does it work with Debian
Posted by: abasel - 07-26-2017, 03:50 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

I have just got around to installing the touch sreen. I have the Debian image. 

When I boot up the screen does not come on. Is this because I have the wrong image?

When will the pinebook get an upgrade to the ROCK64 and >= FHD display (like the manga screen 2)?
I know it's early days for this SBC but the potential is so exciting I had to ask.

  safe fanout for Digital outputs?
Posted by: ealbers - 07-25-2017, 12:45 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

How many outputs can a GPIO drive?

I have several ADC's I want to send a clock signal too all at the same time, is there a general rule of tumb of how many devices a pine output can drive at once? 
Thanks!


I should mention I'm clocking a dozen or so ADC0832's, they are all reading hall effect sensors
