I want to install Ubuntu Mate on the latest version of Armbian. I am using Armbian since the latest version has support for the 7" touchscreen. I have never installed a GUI desktop, so any help would be appreciated.

Paid for my 14 inch pine book over a month ago, and patiently waiting for any sign of shipping info...

Have emailed and gotten responses about late may to early june.

maddening to want new tech and have it just out of reach!

Ladies?? and Gentlemen!

After so loooooooooong silence, I have several good news for you guys who care about Windows 10 IoT Core on PINE64.

We have released the latest RS2 version image to Lim, and he will upload it soon.

In this release, we have fixed some serious bugs such as Ethernet. (oh oh oh~~~ we can use Ethernet eventually!!! )

And another bomb!  I uploaded core driver binaries and packaging toolchains on GitHub!

Here is the repo address: https://github.com/Leeway213/BSP-aw1689

And also some driver source code here with A64 datasheet in readme: https://github.com/Leeway213/driver-samples

Welcome makers developers and anyone-elsers to post your feedback.

Update all source code of UEFI boot on GitHub: https://github.com/Leeway213/WinIoTBoot

Hey all,

First, I apologize if this is not in the right section.  Please move it if there is a better section!

Second, I did a search and from what I could tell, there was only one other thread regarding using an audio extractor and they never mentioned if they tried it or if it worked.

I recently bought one of those cheap audio extractors off Ebay to try to get optical audio to my receiver.  It doesn't have an option to pull the audio directly out of the HDMI signal.  Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the device to work with the Pine.  It doesn't appear to ever negotiate the HDMI signal or something so it displays no video and no sound.  As a test, I used my laptop and it is able to display video and extract audio (albeit at only 2 channels) just fine.  Has anyone been successful in getting one of these devices to work?

I'm trying to use Android TV to use the Pine as an HTPC replacement.  I have never been able to get the analog audio jack to work either, if that makes any difference.  I bought my Pine (1GB model) through the kickstarter campaign.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have Remix OS on my Pine64+ set up to act as a proxy for my security camera dvr setup because the dvr is very insecure.  I'm using IP Cam by Robert Chou as a front end which at least closes the glaring holes in the dvr, but I'd like to add an additional layer of security in front of that by using nginx as a proxy with password protection before the IP Cam webserver can be accessed.   

Is it possible to install and configure nginx on Remix OS?

Thanks!

Mitch

According to Softpedia, Parrot OS - an ethical hacking and security Linux distribution - is slated for release on the Pinebook in the not-to-distant future.
