when i try and adjust any of the partition sizes gparted has a cow because there is 1 partition that spans across 4 or 5 in all of the android releases.

is there a partition editor which can deal with this and not have a fit about it?

<edit>

seems like this problem gets solved by flashing with etcher instead of DD (even on DD images). i dont understand why, the images worked in the pine 64 but had overlapping partitions when burnt with DD

I originally ordered a Banana Pi and received a DOA. I then purchased the Pine64. only took 2 days to door, gave me enough to re-burn my micro SD so I would be ready. Literally 3 min's to hook up and boot to ubuntu. Blue tooth broken and kodi was unuseable, so I downloaded RemixOS and love it. works great 10X better. Is for an SunBrite outdoor TV on our Lanai.

Hello everyone!!

I have designed and built a enclosure model to house the 7 "LCD Touch screen and the Pine64 computer.
It is made of birch wood.


In principle you do not need to use glue to put the pieces together. Only 8 screws and nuts.

It has two lower and one upper lid For easy access


At the bottom of the enclosure , the LIPO battery can be housed.





It has the perfect angle to see the screen, in landscape or vertical mode ..
To read ebook, etc ...

It has small openings for ventilation.

We have made holes for you to screw, one mini fan of 25mm x10mm 5VDC very common

The pieces are not sanded or varnished.

So you can give your personalized touch.

We will try to make a video of the process of mounting, So that it is available for all those who need help.

So if you are interested, they are available in AMAZON
7" LCD Touch screen wooden frame and pine 64 case


I hope you like it...

Thanks to the Pine64 team for their support To carry out this new project.

Hi , I had LIRC running on raspberry pi, it is really usefull,  But I can't make it work with PINE a64 with debian,  have anybody can share of it? thanks

I am trying to modify the "hosts" file so my Pine64 can be identified on my network with something other than "localhost".  However, when I bring up the file properties, there is no Change button to allow me to change the permissions.  Ideas?

Am interested to hear from anyone that has checked into the Sopine and just how compatible it is with the Raspberry Pi Compute 3 module. I have a product lined up to use the Pi compute but the Sopine looks interesting.

Hi all.
Just burned/installed the latest longsleep xenial-20161218-1. On boot, I see the following warning on console:

Decided to take a chance with Arch but the default logins not working.

alarm, root
alarm, alarm
root, alarm
root, root

Unless I missed it somewhere else....

I have a Pine A64 2GB, with a 32GB microSD. Monitor is 27 inch Iiyama 1920 x 1080 with HDMI connection

I downloaded Longsleep's Ubuntu image 'https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/longsleep/pine64-images/ubuntu/xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161218-1.img.xz' 
The image was transferred to the microSD using my 64 bit Ubuntu Mate 16.04 system, using 'xzcat xenial-pine64-bspkernel.xz|pv|sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1M oflag=sync'

I then transferred the MicroSD to the Pine and booted it. I logged in as ubuntu and ran 'sudo /usr/local/sbin/resize_rootfs.sh'
Following resizing of the root filing system, I rebooted and ran 'sudo /usr/local/sbin/install_mate_desktop.sh'
Rebooting after this, I get the Mate login screen and login as ubuntu.

So far, so good. It looks excellent!

However, I did a check for updates and there are some.
But Ubuntu tells me there isn't enough space on /boot to do the updates.
I've checked the structure of the MicroSD and there is a small unallocated space at the beginning, /boot, which is about 52MB followed by / which takes up the rest of the 32GB space.

Is there a reason why the updates are trying to install to /boot rather than /?

hi folks,

I have my pine64 (2G) with remixOS installed. its seem to work when connected to my computer monitor. but i cant seem to see the display when i plug in to my Panasonic AV Receiver or my SONY AV Receiver HDMI port.
basically i want to see the display in my 1080P projector.

is there any special config i have to worry about? am i missing something?

and why does it stay powered up with my USB hub but not with a 5v power transformer(from Amazon firestick)

appreciate your help.
