  turn off display after inactivity
Posted by: Blindstealer - 06-04-2016, 03:36 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

May seem a trivial issue... but there is a way to turn off the screen after an inactivity period?

I am using a pine 64, latest rooted android installed (5.1.1) to run kodi.
On android only thing i can do is to exit kodi after a timeout, but there is no option to turn off monitor/system unlike kodi for pc.

So I am looking for an alternative way to turn off the hdmi signal from the pine64 so that the tv will shutdown after no source signal is detected.


  Expired tracking number?
Posted by: itsokimbatman - 06-04-2016, 02:55 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (36)

I am a KS backer and got my EMS shipping number (LS888452733CN) on May 27. The tracking info was never updated and today it's showing as "Expired." Wanted to ask here first... Any idea what's going on?


  Shipping to Canada via EMS - No tracking details 1 week after shippment email
Posted by: eltoddo - 06-04-2016, 02:47 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (6)

I've tried searching this sub-forum to see if anyone else is having trouble with this, but it doesn't seem like others aren't having issues getting their tracking info...

I got an email on May 27, 2016 saying that my order had shipped; 8 days ago as of time of this writing. The order appears to have shipped via EMS to Canada. Since I got the tracking details, I check every couple days, but neither EMS' own site nor any other tracking websites show any tracking info.

EMS' website shows this error: "No tracking information for the shipment, or overdue tracking."
Other sites show messages to the same effect.

Is this happening for everyone having their package shipped via EMS? Maybe just for those receiving shipments to Canada? Maybe it's just mine?

Figured I'd post here before trying to contact customer service. I know those folks are pretty busy right now.


  SSH'ing?
Posted by: joshdude58 - 06-04-2016, 01:14 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (7)

How do I SSH into my Pine? I have made sure openssh was installed (although I ran the commands and it was already installed) and checked the status to make sure it was running and listening on port 22. I haven't made a new account on the machine, only changed the password. I have tried to SSH from my phone and it doesn't work, and using the terminal on a computer, I get the error of "xxx.xx.xx.x port 22: Connection refused". Please let me know if there's a way to fix this, thanks!

I am running the jessie image of Debian.


  Extreme slowness
Posted by: Jakeiscrazy - 06-04-2016, 10:11 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (2)

Hey guys,

I just installed Remix OS on my Pine 64 and am experiencing extreme slowness. Every click takes several minutes to process. For example opening chrome takes almost 5 whole minutes and I've never been able to do anything after that. It just freezes up.  I'm not sure why I'm having this issue as everyone else seems to not be having trouble.

I used Win32 to burn the image because Phoneix was giving me a "Script not found error" that I couldn't fix. The card is a Sandisk 64gb with a claimed 80mb/s transfer speed. 

Thanks in advance!

  Helpful Hint: HDMI-to-DVI cables do not work on PINE64
Posted by: aegrotatio - 06-03-2016, 10:17 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (4)

This is a common problem with Allwinner H3 devices that are connected to a DVI monitor using a HDMI-to-DVI cable or HDMI-to-DVI adapter on Android and Linux (Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Debian, etc.).

In other devices, we run the "h3disp" command from Armbian h3disp to tell the system to do special things to allow HDMI-to-DVI displays to work.  The relevant option is "-d" which enables some kind of magical HDMI-to-DVI adapter enablement.

I've confirmed that my own PINE64 system won't work with HDMI-to-DVI cable, so I have successfully remotely logged into it from the network, so I'm assured that the device and software are not faulty.

What's the equivalent of "h3disp" to enable HDMI-to-DVI adapters?  I don't want to replace my (almost) perfectly good DVI monitors just because of this.  Raspberry Pi works without any modifications, while Orange Pi One and Orange Pi PC all work fine when they're told how to use HDMI-to-DVI adapters using h3disp.  What do I need to do in order to make PINE64 work in this situation?

Thanks in advance.  Maybe it's a fex file modification?  I'm not sure.


  new 2gb board not booting to known good image
Posted by: mythocelt - 06-03-2016, 09:28 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (3)

Hi,

Any help would be appreciated. I already have one pine 64 1GB board that I have working just fine. It was a demo board that I received and gave a talk on at the local linux users group. The 1GB board boots just fine to the Andriod 5.1.1 image.

I received my new Pine64 2GB board and tried booting it with the same known good working image and it does not boot. This is on a Samsung 32GB microSD card.

Any help would be appreciated.


  Add-ons WTF
Posted by: atrueresistance - 06-03-2016, 08:48 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

So excited to get my pine in the mail today. My first impressions were not great. There were no directions or anything inside the packaging. I went to the kickstarter to look at what orientation the wifi card needed to be placed. I'm at a complete loss on how to attach the temp/humidity sensor though. Can anyone explain how this gets connected? I almost feel like i'm missing a cable they forgot to ship with it.


  high pitched noise / coil whine?
Posted by: robertvaldimarsson - 06-03-2016, 03:19 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hello forum.

Is anyone else hearing a high pitched pulsing sound from their pine? I suspect coil whine, which is annoying, but can't really be much done about. But if that is true, there should be more people experiencing the same thing.
