Just updated to new OTA, now I have very small icons and hard to read browsers, more real estate but who cares. This on my 50 inch plazma TV.  What happened?

Hey guys

Got Ubuntu 16.04 up and running (thanks to everyone that worked on that ) but the keyboard layout is stuck in US whereas I have a Portuguese keyboard. /etc/default/keyboard returns the correct XKBLAYOUT="pt", and dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration seems OK, but the actual keyboard layout is still wrong.

For what it's worth, after keyboard-configuration runs, I get a couple of error messages saying "update-rc-d: start and stop actions are no longer supported", but I don't really see how that should affect the keyboard layout.

I've tried rebooting, doing this with and without sudo, with my standard user and as root, and nothing sticks

Help??

Thanks!

Previously ran one of the android images (I got mine in one of the first shipped batches) and put it away working.  Plugged into the same (verified good) power supply and no red LED, nothing.  Verified the power supply was good by powering a pi3 with it.  Switched power supplies to another 2.5amp power supply and still no LED.  I took the power switch out and tried it in both the power and reset location with no success.  Am I missing out on anything to try troubleshooting wise?

The included (or not included in my case) micro power switch, seems cheap to me, and could cause problems with falling off, etc.  I was interested in putting my pine in a project box with an external switch, but I'm really not 100% on how to do this, it doesn't seem like there's anything to solder to.  What are everyone's thoughts?

Has anyone considered a Pelican-style case?  I've seen it used for a lot of different electronic devices and computer equipment, so I thought this might be a possibility.  I'm not familiar with the different models/styles, but it does seem very versatile and adaptable.  Any thoughts?

Hello,

To share an experience.  Norton Security decided to flag parts of Phoenix Card as being on their naughty list.  No Santa for them.

Naturally disabling parts of the software tends to cause behavioral issues.  UpdateVer.exe and ParserManager.dll are targeted for attention based upon a bad reputation heuristic.  They both need to be in place for the program to work.  I was seeing "script not found" errors when using a perfectly good Phoenix image.  A reinstall and slapping Norton's hand when it tried to zap the files solved the problems.

Now I've got the image burned, I'm still waiting for the silly thing to boot. 

Best Regards,

Hello,

I bought a battery when the backer kit came around and when i received the battery I was sightly puffy than 48 hours after i received the battery it became very swollen. Does anyone know what I can do? I have emailed support but my guess is they are busy as I have not gotten any response. 

Any leads how to integrate Pine64 with a relay switch, to turn things on and off from a script ? Linux version is fine, no Android required. 
I would need both wiring diagrams and software, any leads appreciated.
Looking to automate a thing in garage.
