  Facing difficulty in getting started with Ubuntu image
Posted by: nsisodiya - 12-27-2016, 10:40 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (4)

1. I downloaded longsleep image (xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161218-1.img.xz) ! 
I burned image and booted too.


I do not have any monitor with me. I do not have any keyboard with me. (actually i do not want to use it.)
How, can i do it. I used different hardware, where device was connected to Laptop. When C.H.I.P. was connected to laptop, using usb cable, I do not need cable. I just need to use screen utility to login on any tty

I connected a monitor and keyboard to what is available.. after login, I tried, ifconfig. ifconfig do not show any wlan0. I have connected my wifi module to Pine64. so, ideally it should show wlan0 too. unable to find instruction on how to connect wifi.
the worst thing, I tried to connect with LAN cable.  router is very far from Work table. If I connect LAN cable, I cannot connect keyboard. So I thought , I can do ssh and let Pine64 to be connected on LAN cable without any keyboard.
When I connected with a LAN cable, It do not get any ip address. It should get ip address automatically, so that I can do a ssh. 
I am highly frustrated, I cannot get stated on this board.


  Pine64 as NAS/Media Server
Posted by: VandaL.pr! - 12-27-2016, 08:37 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (1)

I'm in possession of a Pine64 2GB board and I'm not using it for now and in stead I run Plex media server and torrent on "hi-spec" PC so it's always on 24/7.

Would it be able to run Plex media server, utorrent and Kodi on Pine64 all of that on smart 4K TV. I was thinking to setup Android 7.0 and simply install Plex Media Server, uTorrent and Kodi trough Play Store?


  Official Android Release
Posted by: MCZ - 12-27-2016, 08:05 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Hi,

tl;dr
Is there an official Android Release with "release-keys" ?


I'm trying to run a VOD service I have in my country,
the thing is they are very strict with demands
(Only smartphones/tablets allowed)

I know a few people who managed to run the App using their Android Boxes
using root > changing "test-keys" to "release-keys" then using "hide my root"
and finally changing the identity of the Box to Android smartphone (Nexus or Samsung for example)

so, I don't want to go through all of that if there is already an official "release-keys" android OS here,

Thanks for reading,
MCZ


  Wifi - broadcast
Posted by: bvrshankar - 12-26-2016, 10:43 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I have a Pine64+ board.  The WiFi unit on the Pine is configured fine and it's able to detect and connect to my home WiFi router.

Now, I have a web server hosted on my Pine 64+ board.  I'm able to access this webpage (i.e. homepage hosted on Pine64+ board) using my tablet, all connected through the home WiFi router.  

Is it possible to configure the Pine 64+ WiFi module such that I should be able to connect to it directly from my tab instead of connecting from my home WiFi router?  In other words, the Pine64+ WiFi module should broadcast itself, so that my tablet is able to detect and connect to the WiFi module of the Pine64+ board.  (thereby removing the need of a WiFi router).

I have attached a png file (task.png), which I feel explains the above better.

Thanks,
Ravi.


Missed to give the OS details: I'm running xubuntu on the Pine64 board and have installed LAMP stack.

This is probably not the right place to post this but I don't if there is such a place on the forum.

It is about issues to access support section on the main website.

  Anyone visiting 33C3 in Hamburg (DE)?
Posted by: xalius - 12-26-2016, 07:07 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hi, I am visiting the 33rd Chaos Communications Congress (CCC) in Hamburg, Germany (27th-30th of December) and was wondering if anyone else is going to attend?

The CCC is one of Europe's largest hacker and IT security conferences.

"The 33rd Chaos Communication Congress (33C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society. "

( https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Main_Page )

I can be found at my project's assembly desk (https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki...ly:UAVP-NG) and be reached via the congress DECT/GSM network under 2830.

I will also bring some Pine64 hardware to show around, so if you want to meet and maybe have a beer or so just give me call...


  Interested in Pine 64 board and Pinebook 64
Posted by: Omnios - 12-23-2016, 07:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (42)

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?

  Want to buy Pine 64 w WiFi, android, replace TV PCs
Posted by: dmcdivitt - 12-21-2016, 12:10 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

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


  playbox case ribbon cable too short
Posted by: pinoosh - 12-20-2016, 11:42 AM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (7)

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) ?
