Greetings. I am interested in getting a pinebook -64 and possibly a pine 64 board later on. I have a few questions. I live in Canada so is the website price USD. Currently the USD to can rate sucks. My main issue is how is the product is shipped. USPS to Can postal has free duty brokerage fees but Puralator charges like $50 for fees and some times so does fedex. Would it be possible to get an item shipped with USPS to Canada?

Ive seen some similar posts but im new to android and PINE64 as a whole. Can anyone point me to the troublesjooting steps oi should take as to why the LCD screen supplied hasnt given me more then a flicker of the screen but eerything functions perfectly through HDMI and remote key board? any help wpould be greatly appreciated,

Mike

I've been reading about Pine 64. I've also been looking at replacements for my TV PCs. I have five. It seems I need the following for my first Pine 64:
- board
- wifi add on
- enclosure
- android image

From what I read, boards are back ordered, so I can't get one right away.

I want the plus with 2gig memory. Can someone advise me what to do? Thanks

Hello dear pine64 community,

I just got my hands on my playbox case and pine64+ 2G with wifi.

Big disappointment that the touchscreen has no linux support which renders the whole thing useless to me. If this 'little detail' had been shared beforehand I would not have ordered this.

Well I figured that I would try to assemble it anyways, so I used the video and pictures as a guide but there is absolutely no way to connect the screen to the board, the ribbon cable is about half as long as the distance between the board and screen connector (see picture below).

Has anyone else encountered this issue ? What are my options to get the correct cable (I'd rather not spend more money on an item that is useless to me) ?

Hello

I want to build Android CarPC

How do you think there are any chances to turn Navigation by pine64?

I think despite the fact that typically used to explain something of beauty, or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there's no clean line in precept among (say) a unique piece of hand-crafted sculpture, and a heavily produced but visually attractive object. we might say that art calls for concept - some kind of creative impulse - however this increases more questions: as an instance, how tons notion is required? If a person flings paint at a canvas, hoping by using this action to create a work of art, does the result robotically represent artwork?

I like the idea of using the Pine64 as a little writing computer running android and basic various writing apps (Evernote, Instapaper, Fade In).  Replacement screens appear on eBay for about $15 and there are a number of pi experiments with them.

Has anyone attempted this?

Thanks

I was not expecting it to happen but the first time I opened the DSI header the locking part popped off.  I've used many of these connectors but non as flimsy is this.  Anyone else had the same experience?

It also seems to me that it's backwards, meaning I'd expect to insert the fpc/lcd on the outside of the board.  It's hard with such a tiny connector and your flex cable is getting bent by the Ethernet port.

I brought an pack of 10 replacements from amazon.  I'll have to be in the right mood to attempt removal and install of the header.

I've used the xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160716-1.img to install the longsleep Ubuntu then did the apt-get update and upgrade.  

EDIT: I just reformatted my card, put on the brand new xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161217-1.img, did all the other resize, etc, and got the same results below. I' replacing the output from yesterday with the output from today.
I'm trying to install XML-RPC via 
svn co -q https://svn.code.sf.net/p/xmlrpc-c/code/stable /tmp/xmlrpc-c
but when I get to the line:  ./configure
it fails because it is unable to guess the build type.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?  How would I go about checking the URLs in their comment to see if it would recognize this custom build? or how would I specify a build?  
I know this might be more of an XML-RPC support issue, but this has worked fine on other stock Ubuntu builds I've done in the past.
Thanks for any support you can offer.
