I was wondering if anyone has compiled any of the Linux distros to work on the liquid crystal/touch screen display. I'd love to see that.

Dear all,

I am not that computer savvy and not at all a Linux expert.  I installed openSuSE on my Pine64 hoping there was going to be a GUI but suddenly I am faced with a prompt line after login.  Is there a GUI?  How do I access it?

Thanks!

Is there something I can do to debug why the HDMI monitor gets no signal from my Pine64?  Initially, I tried an old 4:3 monitor and found info that 4:3 monitors aren't supported.  However, even using my newest 1080p monitor, I get nothing.  Are there settings or error logs I can check via SSH that could give me a clue what is going on?  Ideally, is there a way to use the older 4:3 monitor?  

Technical details: 

• Debian Mate (3.10.102 BSP 2)
  
• Pine64- 2GB  from Kickstarter
  
• I am using a HDMI - DVI adapter on the monitor-side of the cable.  I've actually tried 2 different ones, neither make video work.   None of my monitors have HDMI inputs.  I can test it on my TV, if anyone thinks it is worth trying.
  
• I'm not a Linux guru, but have used it occasionally for the last 20 years.  I won't take any offense if you talk to me like a Linux newb.
  

Are there more people here using digital dj interface Mixxx http://mixxx.org on a PINE64? It works but I think some tuning and overclocking is needed. Who has advice on this?

Which linux is under the most development and/or is the most stable

I have found a bluetooth device that I would like to try and develop an app for.

This would be a new adventure for me. 

There is already a phone app for the device but it does not meet my needs.

Other than having the data from the manufacturer, how would you go about developing an app that will communicate to the device?

Is there an app that would monitor the data traffic between the devices?

I have emailed the device manufacturer in hopes they will share the information, so an app can be developed for their device.

For those eager Pine 64 enthusiasts, here's my experience.

Order placed 11/6/2016.
Email confirmation saying order shipped 11/11/1026.
No updates on the tracking online. The latest tracking notice was that China EMS was going to ship (nothing about actually shipping the package).
Today, 12/2/2016, I received Pine 64 in the mail.

Then checking the tracking information again just now, it seems to have updated (just today, cus i checked yesterday and it was't the same):

Finally got around to trying to put together the parts I bought through the Kickstarter campaign. I'm missing the long touch screen ribbon cable that's supposed to come with the Playbox, so I decided to call it a night and closed up the box... with the screen installed. It didn't occur to me until that instant that there are no slots in the Playbox to push a tool to disengage the tabs that hold the it together. Does anyone know an easy trick to re-open the Playbox without just prying it apart?

Good afternoon all,

I was one of the Kickstarter backers (#12,678) and I received everything except for the ABS Enclosure. I've emailed shipping a few times but they haven't responded in the last 3-4 weeks at all. I did create a support ticket but that is now a day overdue with no response. 

Is there a better way to find out what is going on with this part? It is the last piece and I'd really like to get this all assembled.

Thanks for your suggestions!
