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 ?

Backerkit says tracking number LS888452353CN but UPS says to contact you guys.

Do you have an uppdate on what is happening?

Hello to everybody .!

I'm writing here because I have a little problem.

I have received my Pin64 + with 2gb of memory a week ago.
I'm testing now the Linux images available for the Pine.

I like Debian images and so I have tryied them.

But, with Debian images I notice that boot time it is quite long(more than 4 minutes)

I have tested :

Debian Mate (3.10.101 BSP)

and

Debian XFCE (3.10.101 BSP)

With both of them I notice the same problem.

Than I have tryied:

Ubuntu Xenial image made by longsleep.

This ubuntu image boot in les than 40 seconds...! It is a rocket.!

Is there any way to fix this long boot time in Debian images.?

I wish to everybody a great day.!!

Best regards

Filippo

This is my low cost enclosure, I did it using kraft paper(cardboard) and a cutting machine(silhouette cameo), although you could print it and cut the lines manually.

This is a work in progress and if anyone would like to try I could share the files here.
