Here have been using Ubuntu and Mono since early days of the Pine64.

Somewhere during updates mono updated itself to version 4.8.x.

It will no longer update relating to using an arm 64 bit CPU.

I want to edit the current repo for mono and everytime I do this it updates itself to this repo:

mono-xamarin.list

deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main
deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main
deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy-apache24-compat main

In wheezy-apache24-compat main there is are no updates for 64bit ARM CPU mono versions.

Reading package lists... Done                     
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy-apache24-compat InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'

Please tell me an easy way to lock in a version of mono that works with current Ubuntu Pine64 build?

I was just starting a manual build but will defer to waiting for an answer to my dilemma.

I just recently bought a Pinebook and I tried all the tutorials about how te get Atom editor working on pinebook but they all fail at some point and I'm not able to get it.

Does anyone know how to get it or did anyone could install it on his Pinebook?

modprobe can fails.
Can I make the driver from the source and load it?
I am using ayufan-65 3.10.105-bsp-1.2

Thanks

Congrats on the new board launch @tllim I look forward to my life slowing down and allowing me to tinker alot more! Will there be a Gaming Section in this forum as well? :-)

I am planning on using the DS3231 real time clock chip with the Rock64. Will it be supported when the Rock64 ships?

Can I choose to ship to collection point in Hong Kong as the shipping in Hong Kong is carried by SF Express so I will be notified to collect the product when the product arrives?

Hi community
What will be changes in OS functionalities and overall ( hardware+ OS) performance in Rock64 compared to pine64.
Will there be changes in android animation, browser and youtube video performance.
Asking this because I want to use it as a PC replacement.

Looking to use a Rock64 as an automotive android based car PC? didnt see any bluetooth dongles in the store and it would be nice if anyone had any experience with adding a GPS receiver. 

Thanks in advance.

Minecraft pocket edition and OpenVPN for Android applications doesn't work on Android. Minecraft doesn't start at all and OpenVPN establish a connection but with no Internet and start to reconnect after some time.

By popular demand I modified a Ubuntu Mate installer as per my instructions here to install latest pre-release Android 7.1 image to your Pinebook's eMMC (NB: disregard the message that its installing Ubuntu in the installer - it will install Android). 
This is not an official image so I am just tossing it up on google drive for those who want to try it. Also, I have not tested if it works - so it may not. Do let me know if it doesn't. I have done this in the past and worked just fine so I expect there won't be any issues.

Here is the google drive link 

edit 2: Removed the image because apparently the image did not work. 

Follow this simple procedure:

1) Flash the ubuntu install image to SD
2) mount rootfs of the installer 
3) delete the pinebook.img (please check, I cant remember if thats what its called)
4) rename A7.1 image to 'pinbook.img' 
5) copy the renamed A7.1 image to the installers rootfs
6) put the SD into your Pinebook

edit: Do not update SudoSu - it breaks the installation
