| Play Store stops running every time |

If there's already a thread on this specific issue, my apologies. I've read through the play store authentication issues thread, and tried my luck with the forum's Search feature but haven't seen this problem solved.
The OS is the 5 May version of Android 5.1.1 on a Sandisk 32 Gig SD (the same as recommended throughout the forum); hardware is a Pine64+ 1Gig with Bluetooth and wifi board. The clock is correct.
There are several things to complain about with this build but for me the most problematic is that Google Play Store stops working soon after it's brought up. Once in a great while right after boot I can download an app but usually Play Store stops running--no reason given--while I'm looking at offerings or after I've chosen an app but before it can download. This isn't apparently an authentication problem, as I get no message about that. Rebooting doesn't solve it except to allow Play Store to fool me again.
I've tried the solutions suggested under the authentication issues thread on the theory that it can't hurt. I also re-downloaded the image and reburned it. No joy. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
EDIT: After a better search I found other posts about this problem but no solutions.

| WiFi dongle MediaTek mt7601u |

I have bought a cheap WiFi dongle from ebay, it costs about $2 and looks like this:
![[Image: s-l1600.jpg]](http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/z~4AAOSwO~hXICxO/s-l1600.jpg)
As it has no branding or whatsoever, I have run following to identify it (only relevant output is copied):
Code: > sudo lshw
*-usb:3 UNCLAIMED
description: Generic USB device
product: 802.11 n WLAN
vednor: MediaTek
physical id: 4
bus info: usb@1:1.4
version: 0.00
serial: 1.0
capabilities: usb-2.01
configuration: maxpower=160ma speed=480Mbit/s
>sudo lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter
However, the device doesn't seem to be working 'out of box', as `ifconfig` does not show any wlan interface.
I have tried googling around and found basically 4 options:
1. Building kuba-moo, however this requires kernel 3.19+, while we seem to be at 3.10. Building the code anyway would result in errors as will be shown below in log file regarding unknown struct fields.
2. Downloading original code and patch as suggested here by user289087 and building it (the original code is from mediatek website as the original link in post is dead). Same errors as 1., although now it should not be only for 3.19+ so I'm wondering if the cause is not different.
3. Downloading binary directly and placing it in /lib/firmware (inside that archive it's mcu/bin/MT7601.bin, the archive is the same as in second option). However, I'm not sure about kernel version for which this was built and placing it there does not seem to do anything yet. Is there anything else that needs to be done?
I have found this github issue which references the binary and suggests that the device may need to be enabled in kernel source?
4. Installation through PPA as noted here by Eric Carvalho:
Code: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:thopiekar/mt7601
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mt7601-sta-dkms
Code: Synaptic output:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.10.102-0-pine64-longsleep (arm64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/mt7601/3.0.0.4/build/make.log for more information.
The log file is finally linked here and errors are only at the end of file (rest of it is the same warning again and again).
I think there might be something wrong with how I obtained sources as 3 of those options end up in the same error:
1. I have updated kernel to newest version (3.10.102-0-pine64-longsleep) using script
2. Git cloned longsleep's repository (which I checked was the code for the same version of kernel as `uname -r`reports)
3. Run `make menuconfig` (left everything default and saved .config) and `make prepare`
4. Created symbolic link from /lib/modules/3.10.102-0-pine64-longsleep/build to the directory with source code (all the make files I've seen for this driver use this path, only substituting the kernel version with `uname -r` command)
Is there something wrong with this procedure?
Any help in solving this is greatly appreciated.
Edit1: Some more info about supporting this dongle on RPi can be found here.

As a backer, I got my Pine64 few days ago.
I was able to use it in multiple ways and now I'm wondering how to use my nice LCD touch screen with the Debian version.
Thanks in advance for advice and help.
Cheers,

Hi there,
I just received my shipment earlier this week, but it did not come with a board inside of the package? It did come with two HDMI cables for some reason?
I have attached a picture of the contents of my package. My Kickstarter backer number is 37,993.
Can someone advise me as to what steps I take next to getting a board shipped to me?
Thanks. =)

| Can't use HDMI to DVI converter purchased from Pine64 store |

I purchased an HDMI to DVI converter.
Tried it with Android and Ubuntu, neither work with my DELL 2407FP
24-Inch WUXGA 1920 x 1200 Display
Boots fine though (can ssh to Ubuntu)
Using an HDMI cable direct to a regular 1080p flatscreen TV/Monitor does work.
Both Android and Ubuntu work with HDMI (not with the converter)
Wondering why you sell the HDMI to DVI converter in the Pine64 store.
How can we get a build for Android or Linux that works with DVI?
Can I help with any builds to test with HDMI?

| distro with kernel support for DVB-T dongles? |

Is there an image, preferably Debian or Ubuntu, with kernel modules for DVB-T dongles included?
In particular, I need dvb-usb-it913x and it913x-fe modules, but I do not see any dvb-related modules in /lib/modules in any of the images I have found.
(I wanted to use my Pine64 as a tvheadend-server for Kodi. It worked out of the box with my Raspberry pi, but it died recently and I wanted to replace it with something faster..)
Thanks.
