Ok fellas, here's the deal.

I have been unable to get my Pine to start up because I have been unable to mount the OS to my micro SD card.  I have downloaded the file from this location http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices/pinea64 multiple times, and whenever I unzip and attempt to use the packaged .img file and mount it I get the "The disc image file is corrupted" message from the computer.  I have tried multiple copies of the same and different downloads, as well as changing the location, but nothing works.  After that, I tried the PhoenixCard program, but it also gives me errors.  The error I receive from PhoenixCard is "Card preprocess failed !1251"  I have again tried different copies of the .img, but nothing works.  I have formatted the card to EXFAT from my Mac, and repeatedly reformatted, trying to find a solution.  MSDOS was no better, but I only tried it a few times.  The card is a Samsung 64gb EVO+. 

Any suggestions or tips?

My order has been in the shipping stage for 1 month now.

It seems like posting in this forum is the best way to resolve this, so doing that!

Order# 102226553

When I plug in the power supply that came with my kickstarter pack, the pine64 will show the red LED for about a second before it fades to nothing.  It does the same with other cables.

Is there any other test to try or is this DOA?

I just loaded Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160505 to my PINE64 and the monitor seems to have a greenish tinge to it. Is that normal? Has anyone else experienced this? 

Thank you. 

Hello,

Hoping someone can give me an update, or even better, a tracking number. I realize that given my backer number (#38,473), I'm likely low on the totem pole right now, however, given that we are a few days from July, an update would be appreciated. Survey has been replied to, address confirmed, and was charged on Backerkit. Please PM me if more info is needed.

Thank you, I know that you are all swamped.

Like I used to do in raspberrypi 3, I can able to select python from the menu and run the program and I can test the program by click on RUn button and it opens up second windows. 

Is it possible for me to get python program on menu or same as pi?

I am new to Linux and learning a lot from the forum.

Thanks

Greetings Guys!

I just got my 2 Pine64+ boards this weekend, and have been playing with them constantly since! I'm working on building some digital signage out of them, to hopefully use at my office's large event at the end of September.  I've been using ScreenlyOSE (www.screenlyapp.com/ose/) with a raspberry Pi2 for a while and think the Pine's would be perfect for this job.

I would like to use Ubuntu for this as its what i'm most familiar with, but It looks like i'll be settling for Debian for now, unless they release a major update soon, knowing they just partnered with conical and ubuntu.

I'll use this as my update board, and progress tracker.

Thanks, and happy Pining!

I am completely new at this, so please bear with me. 

Here's what I ordered, and I just received all of it except for the case or box.

Is there an instruction manual to help me assemble this? 

Thanks in advance.

I've got a strange problem trying to setup new boards while at work.  The xenial image dated 7th of may (which seems to be the latest AFAICT) isn't able to reach the DHCP, at work.

On another image I've fully upgraded and updated prior (with MATE desktop) I am able to access network normally.  so it doesn't seem like a hw issue, just that the image may be missing some configs or packages to operate in the network at work which is pretty tight with VPNs and such.

Any pointers on what I should do to allow the virgin image to access the dhcp server?

(FWIW : I had the same issues with the android image which shipped with these boards. )

when I run ifconfig, I get a few thousand kb worth of packets on both TX and RX (and counting) and no errors, dropped or any other bad packets.

I also ONLY have a single board activated at a time, so it's not the fabled "same mac address" issue.

Hallo,

I want to use the pine for graphics stuff and as far as a know the Android Kernel has a Allwinner driver for the "Mail 400 MP2" witch is much more advance than the one used by the Ubuntu Kernel.

So is it possible to Android with Ubuntu/Debian ?
