With this setup (lennyraposo debian mate), the 2G PineA64 and motor speed controlled fan, usb receiver, LED GPIO lab, gps module (in the foreground) using as a full desktop PC mid to heavy loading,  I am getting six (6) hours of continuous use from the Pine64 battery model 9070120p  8000 mah lithion.  

This is fairly consistent between my LCD cb&dt Play Box running Android.

Hi,

I ordered an IoT KiT with my pledge, but I can't remember nor find what are supposed to be its contents. I know that the ABS enclosure and the ZWave modules are in it and they are still to be shipped, but what are the rest of the components that are included in this?


Thanks in advance

So I have been toying with my three Pine64 with android, ubuntu and debian-- and I have setup piholes and what not- but have basically realized that the Pine64 is way too beefy for just cups or a pihole.

For instance my pine spends 98.7% of it's time at 480 MHz when serving cups and pihole.... So i was looking to add more services, the problem is that what I am looking at, openvpn, cups, pihole, yunohost - whatever my heart desires - basically require control of their respective network stack- so naturally I have tried to make containers with LXC and have basically been having a devil of a time.

Has anyone had success setting up multiple services with containers or qemu or anything?

Thanks

I have Pine with the 2GB board and a wifi/bluetooth board. I 'm using Debian Linux OS.  I can't get to any pages on the internet even though I can connect to my cable modem/wifi router using wifi.  The browser tells me "not connected to the internet." I'm a Linux rookie. Can anyone give me a hint.

Hi,

So I have a Pine64 with 2GB RAM and an LCD screen. 

I put in an SD card, connect the LCD screen and power and turn it on the power light (red light) turns on for a few seconds. The screen displays an image then the power light goes out and the LCD turns off. 

Is this normal?

I've tried 3 different 2amp power supplies. I've tried 2 different SD cards and burnt 5 different images.

Anything I can try? Is it worth just leaving it powered on once the power light turns off? Have I got a dead board?

Thanks.

Good morning,
My daughter has powered off Pine directly from power supply without shut down procedure. 
Any thoughts how to fix it ?

This is what I got when ran dmesg:

[   65.856602] FAT-fs (sda2): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

When I run fsck I get back:

e2fsck 1.43 (17-May-2016)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

How to fix this ?

Regards,

Would this USB video capture card work with Android 5.1 plus touchscreen I have installed

It's a AV.Io Capture card.

Here's the minimum requirements

Video capture workstation operating system Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Mac OS X 10.10 and up Linux distribution with kernel 3.5.0 or higher

On the download page it says Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit and similar

Hi everyone,
I want to start using my 2gb pine64 as a home server + 4k HTPC.
From what I can tell, it seems like there has been some great progress with the Mali driver but it's not quite ready yet. So I wonder if there's a way to use 32bit linux (not Android though) with supported Mali drivers? Has anyone tried that?
Once all issues with Mali are resolved I will install a 64bit OS.
Thanks!

Hi @tllim 

Can you post the OTA links once they are available or at least update the news part of the forum. At the moment I am getting "unknown error" when checking for the OTA so I assume its either being readied or the server is under load.

cheers

I am not able to play movie files via my network on Kodi (android OS)
Kodi is buffering and the file stops playing. No fluent playback at all..
Is this also related to the pine64 network issues?
