Since the pine64's HDMI port doesn't support my monitor's screen resolution, once MackPi figured out how to enable the LCD screen in Linux, I went ahead and ordered 3 of the touchscreens. Sure, they're a bit small, but you can't beat the price.

For my mini-desktop machine, I needed something to hold the screen up at the correct viewing angle. I started with a little plastic ipod holder which worked a little, but kept getting knocked down. Next I worked at making something out of cardboard. That would have worked, had I been able to locate some zip ties to attach the screen. But while looking through my garage for the zip ties, I found a box of craft sticks (popsicle sticks) and my mind started working.

I ended up making a mini-monitor stand out of the popsicle sticks, some hot glue, and rubber bands. It actually works really well! Here are some pictures of it:

   

   

   

That project ended up being pretty fun and easy, so now I'm thinking of making an entire case out of the sticks. I'm imagining making something that folds into a box when not being used, but opens up into something like a mini-netbook. If I can make it work, I'll be looking for a small wooden keyboard and mouse to go with it.

After a long struggle learning to use Ubuntu and the Pine's quirks, I finally got Ember server running fairly decent on my Pine64, 2 gig board.  Took me a long time to figure out how to mount folders from my Synology NAS using NFS to my Ubuntu.  Still have not figured out how to mount folders from my WDMyCloud NAS, but still banging my head against the wall.  Most of the help I get here, is way over my head, hahaha, especially when I get talked down to.

Here is my video showing how Emby server is running on my Pine board and using my new Xiaomi Mi Box as my client.

Hello, both Netflix and Twitter have stopped working on my Android 5.1.1 Pine64.  Twitter opens up
and then just quits.  Netflix opens but when I try to start a show it says "Video can not be started, please restart your
device." But doing that changes nothing, the problem just continues... Any help would be appreciated.

My Google-Fu must be weak today. With a lot of help from the forum I have at least temporarily got the Play Store running, and down loaded & installed UKTV Play. All good EXCEPT that UKTV Play does not think I am in the UK and I should change device settings accordingly. But I can't find any settings that DON'T think I am in the UK. Am I missing something obvious ? I am set for the UK time zone & Google knows where I am  :-)

I would like to use like a desktop.

Internet, watch some videos, play some music, maybe do a little coding

We have, Linux, Android, Remix OS, Chrome OS

Which one I should try?



Thank you very much.

Hallo,

I have a 2GB pre-ordered Pine64 which arrived I think in Juli or so (just so you can estimate which board I might have). I used the board with various OSes including Ubuntu, Debian, Android Lollipop and DietPi. Android seemed fairly unstable, apps usually took very long to boot and crashed most of the time. The other OSes usually were very very slow, with standstills up to a minute. That was about a month or two ago. I wonder if it was the software not being quite ready yet or the Pine actually not being powerful enough or if I got a faulty device.

Do you have similar experiences or anything I can try to find stuff out (btw. I have a degree in computer science, you can get technical with me).

Thank you
Lukas

I believe after several emails I've sent your sales email regarding the smallest details about this order, I've either been ignored or skipped over. I've been patient enough to wait 3 months, just to try to use your board. Either I expect the board, a refund, or I'm filing a claim with my credit card company.

linux deploy is an android  app that can be found in the play store. i found it this morning and installed it on my android 5.1 7-11-16 phoenixcard install which i just set up tonight. it looks like te goal of this app is to create a linux distro-of-choice inside of a container the app makes. i thought what a nice concept and if in fact it can deliver as promised a linux distro within an android build [needs root] then that could possibly be a lot of fun as well as the potential to have the best of both worlds, within reason. anyway, i could only spend an hour on setup and i think i'm close but not there yet. if anyone has used it or would like to try with it the there is a chance to really open up potentials of the pine64. not only that, but i'm sure to need help so if a few[several] want to start working with it we could have a group here on linux deploy. take a look if interested.my thinkinjg is it looks like it might deliver and be a great enviroment for the pine64.
