  Can't seem to change keyboard layout...
Posted by: pqueiro - 08-17-2016, 04:21 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (5)

Hey guys

Got Ubuntu 16.04 up and running (thanks to everyone that worked on that Big Grin) 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 Sad

Help??

Thanks!


  is my pine dead?
Posted by: yella-pine64 - 08-16-2016, 08:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (3)

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?


  New External Switch
Posted by: jjbrady34 - 08-16-2016, 04:42 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (12)

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?


  Pelican Case?
Posted by: burbs - 08-16-2016, 07:06 AM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (3)

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?


  Phoenix Card and Norton Security don't mix . . .
Posted by: mjgoode - 08-16-2016, 06:38 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (5)

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.  Rolleyes

Best Regards,

Exclamation swollen battery need assistance
Posted by: mbround18 - 08-15-2016, 10:00 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (7)

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.

  Relay integration
Posted by: vigor - 08-15-2016, 06:08 PM - Forum: Accessories - Replies (25)

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.


Question RetroPie on Pine64 debian
Posted by: hunsoul - 08-15-2016, 01:29 PM - Forum: Debian - Replies (4)

Hi All!

as the RasPi 2 can run several emulated retro games with RetroPie I wanted to run it on my fresh and much faster Pine64.

I have to admit that the beggining was not to easy. After installing several missing packages finally I was able to build it properly on Pine64 / debian. 

The problem is that the EmulationStation runs on my Pine64 extremely slowly. When I push a arrow on my keyboard it takes about 3 seconds to I get feedback on my display / and that is only a selection change in the menu. Sad(
On RasPi 2 it is very fluent. 

The problem is / maybe - as I'm not an expert of this topic / that there is no Pine64 platform possibility for RetroPie - for that reason I had to set the __platform environmental variable to "generic-x11". It compiles but it runs extremely slowly as I wrote.
I don't have any other idea.

Is there anybody who has an idea how to solve it?


Exclamation Pine64+ not starting (never)
Posted by: Alex89cgn - 08-15-2016, 09:04 AM - Forum: POT modules - Replies (1)

Hello there,

i sent some mails to the support in may, june and august but never got an answer so i try to get help by this place. I bought two Pine64 2 GB + Enclosure, Display and Display Case and a WLAN Module.

The first Pine with wlan module and enclosure arrived and is working fine (doing some desktop stuff with that tiny monster Smile )

The second Pine also arrived at the same time, i just put the already working SD and power supply to the Pine and tried to boot it up but it just showing the red light and is doing nothing. I tried multiple times, with perepherie and without. With SD and without, different power supplys but it just wont start, whatever i tried. I think its already shipped defect or got broken by the delivery to germany.

Do you guys have any idea what i could do about it?
Huh
Best Regards
Alex
