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.

   

   

Hi,

Estimated delivery should be made in April, but no information so far.
My name is Chih-Liang Chen, backer #34455.

Please let me know when should I get my package. Thanks.

and I still haven't received anything.

Can you help me?

My order was supposedly shipped over 4 weeks ago. The order still says pending on the shipping website. I emailed support over 2 weeks ago with no response.... This seems really ridiculous. 

I did receive a Kickstarter update from Pine64 not long after my order shipped telling me I was a bad tracking number but I've gotten no other info on when o expect my shipment.

At this point I kind of want money back and maybe I'll reorder when things calm down. 

mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system

am currently playing with my boards using longsleeps's ubuntu images.

boards work, well, but for some reason, I've got no text cursor (caret) in the shell/consoles.  (note I'm using HDMI outputs, not uart)

Is this normal? I always use linux from remote ssh or on desktops, so I've never had to play with the core bare metal consoles.

Is there a way to have a cursor (blinking or not) ?   Editing long commands isn't really fun when you're counting letters at each key press

I've googled a bit for this but haven't found anything yet.

I finally put all the pieces together. Reading the wiki it was very easy downloading the zip unziping the image and then putting the image on the sd using that program. I was surprised when it worked the first time. I decided on Android as that what I'm most familiar with. It's slow  the play store is  slow  so is loading u tube videos through chrome. Using ethernet  I really don't know how fast/slow it should be? All in all very happy and lookin to do more as you guys make more cool shit.

This game is not that demanding but if anyone knows if its can be done on the ubuntu would appreciate it.

Hi All,

Just received my board and was able to get it up and running on android image no problem. I have the 2GB board. I hooked it up to my GeChic 1303i monitor which is hdmi input for video and audio (both work) but there is a seperate USB output for touchscreen. When I hook the USB touchscreen output up to the Pine A64 board it doesn't work. I have used it previously with a raspberry pi and it worked fine, it is also advertised as being driver free touchscreen usable with windows 7, 8 and 10. I have been unable to find any driver for download so far an emailed the company to see about an android driver but don't have high hopes since I saw this on their website. 

"Drivers for Android,Linux and Windows XP are avalable for ODM customers.

(Ps.The private users who don't have the related software too; wol not be able to install tese drives by themselves.)"

Maybe Pine A64 people can contact GeChic and acquire the driver / integrate it or offer it somehow for download / integration? It is an expensive monitor but a good fit with Pine A64 for people that already have one or don't mind spending a bit on one just need the touchscreen interface to work. Thanks.
