I am using xubuntu-xenial-mate-20160528-longsleep-pine64-8GB.
How to enable XDMCP remote connections on the Pine64? 

thanks!

I downloaded the ubuntu image from the downloads page for the pine64 (2gb ram version), and when I go to extract the iso file from the .rar download onto the sd card, I keep getting a error message, which basically says "the file 'xubuntu-xenial etc etc etc' is too large for the destination file system." I have absolutely no idea as to why I'm getting this message - I've re-formatted the sd card multiple times as a FAT32 file system, and as far as I know, the largest file size supported by that system is 4GB. The ubuntu iso is roughly 1.8gb, hence my confusion  .

I also haven't used any type of drive formatting program; I just right-clicked on the microSD card, hit format, and all of that jazz, so it could be that.
This may be some trivial fix that just slipped my mind, but any help is appreciated.

As a side note, when I try to open/mount the iso I get a message saying that it is corrupted and cannot be viewed, don't know if that has anything to do with this though.

How can i make my own android image for the LCD touch panel as i want to try to make a marshmallow image for the pine 64 for my own use

I have installed Xenial Xerus on my pine 64 and working great. But I have problem accessing my Western Digital network drive (2 tb of MY WDWorldbook). I can able to access the same drive via my windows share. I can see my Western Digital NAS drive and when I click it gave me error. Is there anyway I can access my NAS drive directly?

Thanks.

At this point, is it possible to cancel my order? I have yet to have been given a tracking number and it doesn't appear that anything has shipped yet, so I'd just like to terminate things. Is there anything I can do? 

Thanks, 
Sean

Hi everyone, not sure anyone's posted about this yet, so I just wanted to say I've had great success installing Android images to SD cards using Rufus, the utility recommended by Ubuntu for creating bootable USB drives.  Turns out it supports dd images, so no need to mess with Phoenix or actually run dd in linux.  FWIW, I was using Rufus on Windows 10 with my laptop's built-in SD card slot.

I first validated the cards using the tester recommended on the wiki (H2testw), then imaged them with Rufus.  Validation and imaging took a very long time, probably because I have a crappy SD writer, but as a result pine64 boots into Android as quickly as my phone.

Dear Pine64 Team,

I'm quite disappointed at the moment. I'm still waiting till something will be updated regarding to my order... I have ordered 3 pine64 boards (2x pine64+, 1x pine64+ 2gb and a single wifi module). Since februari 1st I ordered a single pine64+ 2gb. I did send an email with the question if it was possible to add up some extra boards to my existing order which suddenly got cancelled with a simple respond to redo my order.. This wasn't even my question or intention.. So I did redo my order and asked if this would affect my position in 'shipment queue'. This was literally the answer 'Your order will still ship in May alongside with all preorders. Hope this helps!'. 

So it was May, near end of, and I was a little bit concerned about my order.. So I decided to send a mail to get some clear answers.. But nothing more than an auto-respond telling me to wait up about 7-8 business days to receive a respond.. So I waited, and waited... Nothing.. So I did send another email regarding to my order.. Until now.. I haven't heard yet from you..

• 'For order numbers beginning in #102, your preorder will begin shipping out the last week of May', 
  
• 'Will ship by May, may be earlier, not later'....
  

Hello all, thanks for all of the community support.

I have a project that depends on SPI, but i'm not sure SPI is enabled in the Kernel or not. 

I don't see anything related to SPI in the /dev folder.

I'm running the latest downloaded  (xubuntu-xenial-mate-20160528-longsleep-pine64).

If I need to enable this i'm assuming I need to sync up to github but then mod defconfig with spi enabled.

Has anyone else done this? I've never built a custom kernel before.

At the moment this is a potential work-around for the issue since I do not have a spare Pine64 to reproduce the issue. So if you are experiencing this problem please leave feedback below if this solution worked.

The problem was the System Time. The Pine doesn't have a real time clock, and obviously doesn't get the time from the carrier (like smartphones). Hence it's just set to some random value a few years ago.
In my case I couldn't use the playstore (or any other Google apps for this matter). After I set the system time correctly, the apps worked fine. In the end I used an app that set the system time after booting automatically (requires root)." (original post) 

So I am trying to help my sister in law put hers together while I await the arrival of mine. And we are having a hard time getting the ribbons to slot in for the touch pad.(there is a chance we are making it work but they aren't staying) Is there a trick to it? The last time I built a computer was a long time ago.
