Putting my Pines away ( 2 x Pine64+ 2GB + WiFi) on the shelf for the next few months...

Gonna check back in here - every few weeks - not touching them till there's a decent kernel - e.g. for running docker containers...  This project held promise, if only the "supports Linux" and "super computer" marketing spiel wasn't just talk...

Ooroo from Australia

(and no I don't wanna sell them - heck I've still got 486 motherboards lying around!)

Hello,

When I run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

ubuntu refuses to boot up after updating and I'm left with a blank screen. Is this supposed to happen?

Thanks,

Hi

I've got a 2Gb version on the way and have a question about continuous usage of the device - can it be left switched on 24/7 without the risk of it overheating?

The reason being is that I intend to use it as a small server / home automation device, so the intention would be to leave it switched on for the duration of its life.

I've had a look thorugh the rest of the forum, but can't find any similar queries, so I thought I'd ask outright!

Hi,

I've seen today on my backerkit account that my pine64 was sent on 05/27/2016 but I have no received any tracking number... Please could you provide me the tracking number? My backer number is 24.311


Thanks!!

I have the pine64+ 2GB with stock BT/WiFi module. 

I have played with the android and ubuntu images.

I want to build a media player.  Android seems to be the best platform for this due to better graphics performance. 

I got the plex server working fine in ubuntu and I was impressed!

I would like to know whether it would be able to set up the device to act as bluetooth receiver, thus stream music from my phone via BT?

Thanks

Dear all,
Please let me know which Os can Pine64 run with both of LCD touch screen and HDMI output for monitor?
Regards,

Backer # 38777, Tracking # LX948106835CN

I was informed that my PINE64 shipped by email on 27 May.

On 10 Jun, I received the project update advising that tracking numbers starting with LS and ending with CN, as well as those starting with LM and ending with CN, do not work.

My own tracking code does not fit into either category, but does not work either: my tracking number begins with LX and CN.

Since 27 May the tracking has only ever stated: "Pending. Please try again later, we are awaiting for tracking info from carrier."

I need to know what is going on URGENTLY please. My order is meant to have shipped to my office, but I have been made redundant and if it does not arrive soon, I will not even be here to collect it.

Please look into my order urgently, therefore, and update me ASAP about its status. If there is no news soon, I will regrettably have to demand a full refund.

FYI, I have tried to contact you about this on several occasions. 

I submitted a ticket about this via your website over two weeks ago (eg. over the 10 day response time you quoted on your 10 June update) and have not received a response.

I have posted a comment on the kickstarter on June 27, as well as sent you a message via that platform: no response. 

I found this link to your forum under the comments along with the advice that you respond more quickly here. Considering you don't make a link to your forum available on your website, how was I meant to know it existed?

Do you realise how many unhappy customers are commenting on your kickstarter because they don't know where else to turn, and are still not getting replies? It's really very appalling customer service. If this is the platform you prefer to use for customer service on this issue you need to send out an update to everyone, and direct them here.

First off, ggot my Pine64 two days ago and love it. Really enjoy trying to figure it out. I got one of the air mice/keyboard with it and I'm typing this message from that.

It looks like there's a speaker on the 7" touch display. Anyone know how to get that to work? Thanks!

Reading this post I just realised I have still old flat cables from my PC that i used to connect MIDI port to my sound card.

Q is how can I connect this MIDI port to my Pine and use my old joystick to play with NES emulator ?

Any guide is welcome
