Anyone encounters the same thing? There is no serial number on the board and somehow some Chinese words attached to the board. Does anyone understand what those Chinese words really mean...? I am suspecting it's a faulty board... Attached please find the photo for the board I got...
   

I've been trying to keep up with things (both on KryPtAlIvIaN's Compatibility thread and on Recalbox's GitHub) but things are at the moment less than clear. As far as I can tell, there's scattered reports of various games working here and there, but not much else.

So the question is... what's the status?

My plan at the moment is to slap Ubuntu on it and try to build Retropie from source. I have no idea if this is going to work though.

Recalbox's fine folk seem to be converging on a working solution - should I hold off for that instead?

Thanks!

I'm using the latest 16.04 image (xubuntu-xenial-20160501-longsleep-pine64), and seeing some annoying noise in dark areas of the screen. Mostly (near-)black ones, but some dark blue ones.

The noise is small numbers of individual pixels flickering between the expected color and a light one (maybe the 1's or 2's complement?? It looks a little yellowish when it's on blue). I don't see it on a normal desktop display, except in the terminal emulator window while the "logout" popup is displayed.

It's not always present in blue areas of the screensavers, but does show up sometimes.

It's always there during video playbacks, with videos recorded using the XviD, DivX 5, and MPEG codecs (all the types I've tried). It also shows up in MJPEG streams from an Axis camera. So it doesn't seem likely to be a codec bug.

It looks like it's probably either a hardware or a video driver bug. Any suggestions on how to isolate it?

Thanks,

Hi,

I used the phoenix card image from Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160505 but it seems it's not rooted yet and the tool is not pre-installed on it.

Can you tell me how to root it?

Thanks

Hi,
    Who can tell me the debian root's password? Thank you very much.

I've just installed the 0508 version of Debian Jenny with Mate from the Pine64 download site and want to change the logon procedure so that it boots to the desktop without needing my input. I have x11vnc installed but I can't run completely headless since I need to use the USB keyboard to log on before the system finishes booting and brings up X11VNC.
I thought it'd be a simple thing to do, but there's no entry in any desktop menu I can find to change the logon (or even the User name). I'd expect to find it in one of the system settings but no go. I'm marginally capable of editing a config file if someone will just tell me which one, where it is, and the changes to make. I'm elderly but not blind, but did I miss the boat here on changing things via the GUI?

When I try to power on my Pine from the power button the board it seems to boot up but it goes off after a few seconds. It doesn't matter what I try, I'd like to know if my board is faulty or not.
