Hello everyone, 

Just letting you know that Q4OS now available for download for the Pine64. 
You can learn more about the OS on the official site. 

NB. I would much appreciate if you'd provide me with the default login and password (if there are any) once you set it up, so I can update the Wiki entry - couldn't find the credentials anywhere ....

Cheers

So, with Openhab2 available I thought I might get myself into home automation.

Could anyone please let me know what do I need to start?

Do I need to get the Pine64 Z-Wave module or I'm better off with a USB stick instead?

What would you recommend me to buy in terms of accessories/peripherals as absolute basics to start with the project?

Many thanks!

I have a camera hercules de luxe and I can not make it work. Is there anyone who could help me? I do not know how to install the drivers

Are there any plans to sell eMMC cards in the Pine64 store for the SOPINE A64?

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux pine64 3.10.104-2-pine64-longsleep) for a few days on my Pine64 2GB. What I notice is that after a reboot DNS works fine, but after sometime DNS is no longer able to resolve. 

When DNS fails I get a message like:

nslookup www.google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

However, if I reboot the Pine64 DNS works like a charm. 

I've got a fixed IP defined in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.158
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8


Which works because ifconfig shows the following:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 4a:7c:01:2a:0d:57
          inet addr:192.168.1.158  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::487c:1ff:fe2a:d57/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX bytes:28673200 (28.6 MB)  TX bytes:26435938 (26.4 MB)
          Interrupt:114


ip route shows the following:
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 onlink
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.158

Does anybody have a suggestion where I should look for the rootcause/solution?

Nice price for great memory.

I have been trying to do an OTA update on 2016071801 and have not found a way to successfully do it. Does anyone have any tips? When I check update, it states that it is up to date. I havent found a working console to apt-get or similar.

Hello everyone,

Hi,

I have a board running Armbian and I was wondering how I could get an application to start up in full screen after the board boots? It is a GTK app. 

Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to create a media application using Windows IoT, and I started with a Raspberry Pi, but unfortunately it doesn't support any hardware acceleration, so video display was unbearably slow.  Does the Windows IoT image for the Pine64 support any hardware acceleration?  I was looking into the documentation for the Mali400MP2, and it looks like it would be just as difficult to get DirectX working on this chipset as it would on the RPi, but perhaps AllWinner worked more with Microsoft to get things working.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
