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?

I believe the enable line of the LPW5210B5F  in the USB +5 supply should have been wired back to VBUSEN on the AXP803. The way it is wired now, if you hit the power off button it leaves the +5V on when on battery supply. This will drain the battery while the unit is off. If enable had been wired to VBUSEN the AXP803 would have been able to shut off the +5V supply when powering off.  This should be a programmable choice since when on AC power you want to leave the USB +5V on so that a mouse/keyboard can be used to wake the device up.
