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.

How can I call an external command (as if I'd typed it at the Unix shell or Windows command prompt) from within a Python script?

Hi All,

I have tried compiling following component for Pine 64 1GB board (as instruction mentioned at https://github.com/apritzel/pine64)

uboot - (git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git master branch)
kernel -(https://github.com/apritzel/linux.git a64-v4 branch)
( command used to create uImage  "mkimage -A arm64 -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n "Linux kernel" -d arch/arm64/boot/Image uImage")
Uboot runs successfully but kernel loading  does not proceed and hangs at "Starting kernel ..." messages  

What I am trying to do is to boot board with NFS+tftp, but not able to proceed beyond uboot.

Detail logs are as follows

Hi Guys,

I have many search engine and finally I got this website light fastness tester machine in china. And this website is http://textileinstruments.net/pod_pro.as...Tester.asp so guys could you suggest me some better idea and more information about this light fastness tester machine?
