Hello, i'm using a PineA64+ with 2gb ram, with Android 5.1.

I tried to plug my Lacie 2d 4to External HDD (USB3 but support USB2).

i previously formatted it in Fat32 from DiskUtility on Mac.

But when i plug the external hdd, it's seen by the Pine a64 but after approximately 5 to 10 secondes, the mini computer crashes (automatically  reboot)

Did anyone succeed with pluging an external hdd, or a large external hdd ?

How can i find logs or something to resolve this issue ?

Any help appreciated ! 

Thanks

I need help with enabling wifi. I connected the module and I made sure it was correctly connected, I'm using xubuntu xenial and ethernet works ok. Pine can't seem to be able to find any wireless signals. How do I configure the wifi module?

Anyone knows if this WiFi adapter will work with the Pine64???, im still waiting for my board to arrive but i have successfully used this adapter on my RaspberryPi2 and other boards, i want to be ready when the Pineis here.

I have tvheadend running on a raspberry pi B+ which is automatically recording tv shows. But these need much space because they're mainly MPEG2 coded.
So my plan is to use another single board computer to transcode them to h.265/HEVC (using ffmpeg, from experience it's the most reliable programm).

My question is, if the Pine 64 is strong enough to do this task (video properties: 720x576, 25 fps MPEG-TS, audio isn't important and can be passed through. I'd use the x265 library with preset fast). It doesn't have to be real-time, 5-10 fps would be enough.
If there's no other choice h.264/AVC would also work, but I definetly prefer h.265. Does somebody have experiences or can try, what the Pine 64 can do?

Posting this as a data point for anyone still waiting on their Pine.

Received Saturday, unboxed and setup last night. The 2GB board was slated for Remix OS. The hardest part was getting a working image on the SD card; the links and documentation around that could be a lot clearer, but 50/50 my fault for not digging into the forum. Had to dig out a Windows machine to run PhoenixCard SW, then realized 90% of the way through there were card size specific DD images.

Went against protocol/common sense and plugged in all my peripherals on the first boot; wireless shield and air mouse dongle. Pine64 logo>pulsating Remix OS screen for 5 minutes>Desktop. Sync'd the C120 mouse/keyboard; keyboard worked, mouse functions did not. Plugged in a USB mouse and started seting up the OS. Wireless works and I connected to my main LAN; wireless speed was... not great. Play Store works, Youtube and Chrome need immediate updates. Switch the wireless to my office LAN, it's slower, but the signal is much stronger. At this point, about 30 minutes after that first boot, I'm up and running and everything but the mouse on the C120 is working, with no extraordinary effort on my part. Leave it to burn in overnight. 

This morning, running Netflix, Sling TV, Amazon Music with no issues. Watched a Youtube video on the C120, realized that the mouse function has an on/off switch, try that, mouse is working. The documentation with the mouse sparse and badly translated to the point of unlessness. Since i'm still waiting on the ABS cases, I'll either have to keep waiting or make my own to get this unit setup in it's final location. Will see how my luck holds out on my 1GB.

Overall, for a Kickstarter project, moderately happy so far. The obvious fulfillment issues, status communication and poor documentation are net negatives, but understandable growing pains. The hardware itself seems pretty solid for what it is, and at this stage - for me at least - is relatively plug and play. Thanks to all the people that got theirs before me and smoothed off a lot of the rough edges.

Where is the best place to report bugs and feature requests for Ubuntu longsleep for PINE64?

When booting Ubuntu, the default terminal with CTRL+SHIT+F1 is too large for my screen. I cannot read the line I am typing on and miss also the beginning of the lines on the left side. This needs to be fixed, but as a safe fallback, I would like to use the terminal in XFCE.

However, with only two USB ports, many times I have the keyboard in one and a USB wifi dongle in the other. This prevents me from adding a mouse. The mouse I will only use to start a terminal in XFCE. To overcome this problem, please by default map the menu key on the keyboard to the menu action, that is the same as a right click with a mouse. Then with the keyboard I can select a terminal and do what I need to to.

I know this is for some a very specific case, but this mapping will make it so much more easy to work with the systems without the screen is fitted properly and a mouse is connected.

The Raspberry Pi shows in Raspbian its logo for each CPU core. Booting PINE64 shows four Linux logo's. Can these be replaced by PINE64 logo's?

Can the kernel be bumped to a version that supports the driver for usb wifi dongle 8192eu?

I plugged my keyboard on the board and it wasn't working, I plugged it back on my computer and it doesn't work anymore I tried to reboot and to uninstall the driver but even on the computer start it didn't work , I tried on my mac too...
I now have a dead K70, never had any issue with the pi but the pine killed it...
