Ubunu not working anymore |

Hello!
I have installed the Ubuntu release a long time ago on my Pine, and everything worked fine. Main use was with an DVB-C stick and tvheadend as a Videoecorder.
I updated the Ubuntu software regularly and the system worked fine.
With the last updated Ubuntu told me to reboot the system, and from that moment on, startup did not complete.
I get an error "[VFE_ERR]Error registering ve412 subdevice No such device!" and "[VFE_ERR]vfe_register check error at input_num = 0 " (and later 1).
My Pine is connected via eth0 - and as I said before this configuration worked for a very long time..."
Help plz!
Thanks!

The Mac Address Would Not Change on Debian, nor Gentoo |

I ran into a very frustrating yet interesting problem last night when I tried to place two of my PineA64 boards on the same ethernet switch in preparation for the GbE testing I plan to do tomorrow.
Both of my machines had a VERY persistently stubborn mac address ( which belongs to longsleep ):
36:c9:e3:f1:b8:05
I am wondering now how many folks having ethernet problems don't really have an ethernet problem, they just don't have unique mac addresses on their network from the Pine Boards ?? (arp cache nightmare)
Anyway, I tried repeatedly to change the mac addresses of both machines... and they would NOT change... neither of them... for almost four hours.
I changed the mac address in /boot/uEnv.txt , powered off and then did a cold boot. (this on both machines) but when the boot finished both machines still had address 36:c9:e3:f1:b8:05
Believe it or not what I did to correct this was just be persistent... I started waiting longer between poweroff and cold boot... eventually the new address finally 'took' on both machines. When the address finally 'took' on both machines, both machines finally had the correct address in all four primary places:
/boot/uEnv.txt
/proc/cmdline
/sys/class/net/eth0/address
ifconfig
I really feel strongly that this needs to be changed. All Pine Boards need to have an automatic persistent unique mac address on the ethernet port; like any other IP machine interface. Or, there needs to be a very consistent way to set the persistent mac address easily so that multiple Pine Boards on the same switch are guaranteed to have unique mac addys; essential for Pine-Nut clusters !
edit: PS. I suspect that the mac address of choice has something to do with this as well... it may be that I just happened upon a prefix that would work... but took some trial and guessing. But, its looking like the mac address can not be fully ransomized.

Code: root@pine64:~# mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
mount: mount point /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc does not exist
Hello,everyone.
I want to run some x86 applications on my pine64,but the kernel do not have binfmt_misc support.After enabling CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y,the command runs fine.Would there be any support for CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC in the pine64 kernel?Or may I create a pull request?

If you have had difficulty with the GbE ethernet please take the poll |

Greetings, if you have had trouble with the GbE ethernet issue on the PineA64 , please take the poll (located in the ethernet sub-forum) and fill out the data requested in the first post.
thanks
PS, use either this thread or the 'sticky' thread in the sub-forum for discussing this issue; please do not post discussion in the poll thread; that thread is only for data gathering. We are trying to identify a pattern, one way or the other.

GbE Ethernet Port Issue Data Gathering Statistics Intel |

We want specific information about the ethernet port on the PineA64, relative to the board serial number. Please provide this information after you vote on the survey above:
1) board serial number and type (2G)
2) RTL chip numbers: ie, RTL8211E G2K40P2 GG10B
3) current ethernet switch or router make model and numbers
4) if you modded your board and made it work, how?
5) if you swapped out your switch or router and made it work, what or which?
6) if GbE is critical to your operation, please tell us how so ?
7) provide any other additional 'data only' that might be helpful.
Please DO NOT post discussion or questions to this thread; it is intended only for data gathering for the GbE database.
Also, please don't quote this post.
thank you
Edit: PS... it is easier to read the RTL chip numbers if you use a hand scope, and an LED flash-light ; changing the angle of the source light will make the text more visible in the scope.
