Hello,everyone. I am looking forward to using Pine64 for a virtual machine host. And I have some questions about the kernel config.
1. The config CONFIG_ANDROID is set to y. Will it have problems for ordinary users (uid !=0) on networking? Or any user can use tools like ping/netstat/nslookup and bind to a port?
2. The namespace config is not complete in the config file. It is described in a systemd-nspawn document that
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
should be set.  Will it be possible to add these lines?
Thanks.

Hi guys,

i'm trying to get a web server for my wordpress site on my pine. i followed this site: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Raspberry-Pi-Web-Server
When i try to install mysql with this code: sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql

It says: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.5 but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.



How can i fix this? does anybody has a good handheld for setting up my own server?



I'm using the following image: Debian Mate (3.10.102 BSP 2)

Pleas help me

This is my first time attempting anything with networking, so I apologize if I have no idea what I am doing. I have 2 Pine64's connected to an ethernet switch, and I assigned both of them a unique static ip. I am able to ping the other pine connected to the switch, but when I try to ssh, I get nothing. I know that one of them can be accessed by ssh, as I have connected through the wifi module using my laptop. Any help would be very appreciated.

I'm new to this, but have been exploring and experimenting with my new pine64 and also a rpi3 (just ordered a ODROID-C2 to play with as well). 

I haven't seen this practice elsewhere. for other distros I have tried there is a single img file and, once you have it flashed, you expand the file system to free up the rest of the card.

Just curious what the advantage is here.

thanks

Hello,

after happily receiving 4 Pine64+ in the first half of june, i directly wanted to test them. Three of the boards work with the same sd card , hdmi cable, tv and power supply, but the 4th doesn't show any picture with the same setup. So, there must be some kind of defect.

I already wrote to sales and support on 06/12/2016, 06/23/2016 and 07/02/2016 but never received any answer. i therefore hope to get more
feedback here in the forum.

Best regards,

Hi,

First of all, thanks to longsleep, lenny, and others for their work to provide working images for the pine64.

Now running the pine64+ 2GB with the wifi/BT module. After several trials, both latest debian-mate and ubuntu-mate seems to work fine after I changed the HDMI cable from 1m to 0.5m.
The 1m cable was only working with longsleep 20160507-1 image, and always failed to output the HDMI signal with the newest kernel
The 0.5m seems to be fine with the latest images :-)

I have a question regarding the capabilities of the wifi module: can I connect to the pine64 through wifi from a phone and share the pine ethernet connection or are the module capabilities limited to connect the pine64 to already existing wifi networks?
I would like to set the 1st option, if possible, in order to connect my phone through wifi to the pine64 that is already wired connected...

Thanks in advance for any help and advice!
Cheers!

I am noob or misunderstood??.. I cant get clear crystal from android image download.

I downloaded non rooted image.. But why still rooted?..
(Android 5.1.1 Image (HDMI Video Output) Release 20160711)

I cant streaming apps Astro On The Go and iFlix becuase of rooted..
Even i tried delete SU, BusyboxSmp, SU apk from ubuntu, it still detect as rooted..

Is there any chance that I could do the following?

1. Ad a 2nd NIX
   
2. Install the pFSense firewall on the Pine64? (https://www.pfsense.org/download/)
   

Hello,
I know the issue that the resolution can't be changed or HDMI output to 720P.
anyone know when it will be solved? If in Android it has been done that's mean that it coming soon to linux? 
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.

I saw on the download page that ZWave is NOT yet supported. Unfortunately, I plan to use PINE64 to mainly control z-wave devices. Do you know when we can expect to get a release compatible with z-wave? Do I need to wait in order to get a new version of the OS image or it will be upgraded afterwards from the version currently available without requiring a full re-installation.
