Paste the follwoing and save:

Code:
#/etc/systemd/system/wifi-resume.service
#sudo systemctl enable wifi-resume.service
[Unit]
Description=Restart networkmanager at resume
After=suspend.target
After=hibernate.target
After=hybrid-sleep.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/systemctl restart network-manager.service

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
WantedBy=hibernate.target
WantedBy=hybrid-sleep.target

And lastly:

Code:
sudo systemctl enable wifi-resume.service


  A64-DB-2G-Rev B not booting with LCD
Posted by: negativ3 - 06-26-2017, 05:18 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (8)

Hi,

I have the above mentioned board with only the LCD (pine kit LCD) connected.

android ver 6.0.1 20170209 - 8GB image on uSD with Etcher.

With the SD in, the power light is on briefly (<2 secs) then off, drawing approx 300mA during this time.

With SD out, the board just sits at approx 100mA current draw and does nothing as expected.

With SD in and LCD disconnected, the board seems to boot with varying current draw up to 650mA across 2 minutes.

Does this indicate a bad LCD or do you have any suggestions what to try to fault find?

Thanks

Hi, just want to share a little idea (already tested) that I am using to 'assist' my Pine64+ board to boot...

My Pine64 has some kind of boot problem, it only run normally somewhere around 30% of the time (out of 10 times, only 3 boot is successful), perhaps a little more or little less...

Unable to understand the problem to try a correction, I had the idea of putting a microcontroller to issue a hardware-reset to the Pine64, every time that the Pine does not boot normally...

Well, the first prototype is working, need some fine tunning and improvements but the overall idea works...

[Image: co-pine-on-photo-zoom-small.jpg]

For the moment, this is the only "stable" way I found to solve the boot issue I am having with my Pine64, and since I want to test/use/learn more this 64bit hardware with 64bit OS, it will be the *solution* for while...

The whole thing is documented and all the files are available:
HOWTO:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/pskitty/copineon.html

GitHub files:

Not a really good solution for people who have the same problem but can help depending on the reasons and goals in mind...

  Pine64 Drawing - binary & source documents
Posted by: ecolezen - 06-25-2017, 05:26 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (1)

Just want to share a Pine64 Drawing binary (.png, .svg) and source document (.odg OpenOffice/LibreOffice)...
The source document is there and it is easy to add/remove features... (just draw over a photo, like "carbon copy" style, then export in the format you want)...

Also, a general SBC (single board computer) drawing that can represent any SBC board:

Information Rock64 IRC channel
Posted by: Luke - 06-25-2017, 07:30 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCK64 - Replies (4)

A heads up for those who wish to follow software development for the upcoming Rock64 board from Pine Inc. - there is now a dedicated channel for the board on our IRC server. After joining in the main channel type the following in dialogue box and hit enter: 

Quote:/join #rock64


This will open another window with rock64 chat. 
The Rock64 channel was created with the intention to compartmentalize development for the two SOCs (A64 and rk3328) soon-to-be offered by Pine Inc. That said, I expect that there will be a degree of spill-over talk as its one community after all; we'll see how it pans out Wink  
If you wish to read more about our IRC and/or want to learn how to join using a dedicated client please read this thread

Edit: an easier way is to just substitute #Pine64 for #Rock64 under channels in webchat

If you got any suggestions or ideas do let me know. If anything new will come up I will make sure to update this post.

  Start from USB

Hi I would like to install another Linux, the Mint version, how can I make it start from a USB?


  Bluetooth
Posted by: AndyK - 06-24-2017, 05:21 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (1)

So I've been playing with the sound on my Pinebook 14" and found the tip to use alsamixer solved the problem of sound being so quiet as inaudible, but now I can hear it, I am thinking Bluetooth Speakers may be the way to go.

So that got me exploring Bluetooth on my PB14  and it hasn't been very successful: So far all attempts to pair anything just seem to fail - not with an error - nothing seems to happen. 

i've tried a UE Megaboom and a Philips SBT75 speaker and also tried pairing with my iPhone to use it as a network device. Nothing seems to pair and connect successfully.

This is on Ubuntu 0.5.5-65

Is there any wisdom out there on how you get Bluetooth working? It seems to work under Android 7.1 so I am sure its not hardware.

  Left vs Right USB socket on Pinebook 14"
Posted by: AndyK - 06-24-2017, 05:11 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

Just wanted to comment that I noticed that a USB HDD plugged into the LEFT USB port won't power up properly (looks like it can't get enough current), but plugged into the RIGHT USB socket it behaves normally.

Is this intentional?

It's not a problem as you can use the right hand socket but it is an inconvenience if you are not aware of it.
