I have the Pine 2 gb version, with ubuntu mate OS via micro SD. I had purchased this mainly to make it a TV box, and I installed Kodi on this, but I find the performance ridiculously slow, like sub 1 FPS, not real time at all. Is this expected? I discovered that VLC doesnt play some of my videos (all that I tried), is this expected?

Would both these problems go away with some sort of codecs and or hardware support for graphics? Or is this not possible?

Also, when i power on my Pine, I get a red indicator light for power. Is this normal? I saw a few images with a green light. Is this an indicator of low power supply? Could this be causing my performance problems above?

Hello everybody,

i`ve got an general question about the Mali Driver. How i cant update the Mali Driver ? In the last Ubuntu build the Mali Driver are r3p0 on the wiki site i can download r6p0. I Think i should update this. I want to use Kodi and Kodi is a little bit laggy, if this is an reason ?

Please tell me

Greetings

Backer number 19,488.

I received the A64+ in May, along with the WiFi/BT module that I added when I confirmed the Kickstarter
details.

I also ordered other accessories via Kickstarter at the same time which have not shown up. There was no
paperwork in the shipment to indicate that this was a partial shipment. The status on Kickstarter is that it
was completed, which from my perspective it is not.

The tracking number is  RI894212516CN.

Any way to get an update?

thanks

I was able to setup and configure MATE to run on the device.   I did a sudo apt-get update,  then I launched MATE, did an update, and then it prompted me to restart.

Now the MATE login is default (doesn't go straight to command line), and it prompts at the GUI for the ubuntu password.   I enter the password and it appears to login, but then kicks itself back out to login.   

I do not get "Incorrect Password"

Any ideas?

I can login as a guest.

Hi,

Just got my goods and trying to use the 7in LCD screen on the IOT kit but I cant see anything.

Does the LCD screen only work when using a Android image or should it work no matter what is booting ( like the HDMI port)

Thank for any info on this

Any updates on the enclosure and Z-Wave modules?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi, I received a package from Pine about 10 days ago.  The package contained the lid panels, the power supply, the wifi modules and the switches.  There were no motherboards.  I should have received the 2 GB version as the reward plus the extra one I ordered after the campaign ended.  At first I thought that they were coming in a second package, but after reading through the messages here I have come to realize that they should have been included in the same package.  I have images of the labels and the tracking number that I can provide.  Can someone please help me?

thanks....backer 34,939

Hi there,

After some trouble and after buying hipo USB chargers etc, it turns out that it was the sd card!  A Kingston 32gb card wouldn't boot past the first screen.  A Sandisk 16gb runs like a boss!  I tried various burns, power supplies etc and none of them mattered.  It was the sd card.  I've got two pines so now I'll try a sandisk 32gb for the second one.

My pine is running fine via a ue boom usb charger and the flat yellow cable that came with it.  I burned remix using phoenix and my laptop.

Good luck!  I figured I should let people know what worked for me.  Someone needs to work up a list of sd cards that work.  Add the cheapest (in australia) Sandisk 16gb.  It's at least a 10x one, but seriously the cheapest.

cheers john
