Greetings:

New Piner and forum member. Was adding an external previously formatted NTFS 1TB drive, and had issues getting read/write access. Managed to get the system into a non boot state. In the end, I managed to resolve the boot issue, but chose to switch to a new drive formatted with EXT3. No probs since.

In the interest of helping others, with a similar issue, here’s what I ended up doing. Will leave out what didn’t work, to keep the post shorter.

Didn’t have an actual spare Linux system, so I used a Vmware desktop system running Kali, running on my Win 10 laptop. The VM recognized USB devices, but didn’t recognize the larger micro USB caddy the memory card came with. Had to run out and by a new memory card that shipped with both a USB and larger memory card reader.

The Pine64 micro SD card mounted automatically on the Kali VM, and provided full access to the system folders. Ending the /etc/fstab file took seconds and Pine booted afterwards.

Thanks to some folks on the IRC channel for offering suggestions, everything came together in the end.

For those who have read this far, in the interest of sharing what my Pine is doing …

1.) Security system with Zoneminder
Running 3 cameras for now. External drive setup with symbolic links to hold the video.

2.) Local cloud with Owncloud
External drive setup as the main repository.

So far very positive things to say about the community and the product.

Hi,


Is there any way to add RPi Monitor or similar onto my Pine? My pine is headless and I want to be able to monitor its performance when operating under load.

Thanks

I´m just started with openhab and have a short question:

Is it possible to run openhab on the pine and use the pine touchdisplay to control the habpanel at the same time?
Or do I have to use another device to run openhab and use the pine with linux or android to show the habpanel on the display?

the backgroud is that I want to use some kind of wall-mounted display to control openhab.

We had hoped to have the Pinebook running Xubuntu in time for https://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/2017 May 5-7, 2017 but time is running out. I wonder how long shipping takes. Any news would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks to tkaiser to point out their work on integrating Open Media Vault into the build system, you can read more here:

I'll try and give it a spin over the long weekend...

Hello everyone, i just want to know how to create a home-made NAS server with Pine64, first, i need the software needed and some kind of tutorial if you can. Thanks!

Anyone made a video wall pine64's?  I have four and would like to run a four-display "screen" with the source material split across all four.  I know about piwall (piwall.co.uk), but I would prefer to use on-hand hardware.  Also prefer to stay on linux.

Hello

I have pine A64(+) 2GB, with LCD from Pine64.

Which linux dsitro or longsleep kernel has support for both TouchLCD and HDMI ?

I have  been search around and playing for a while, I can get LCD to work but not both.

Any hints or links ?

Thank you
