  How to setup VNC on your Pine64 (Debian, SSH, headless)
Posted by: pine64nutz - 04-26-2016, 08:06 PM - Forum: Pine A64 Projects, Ideas and Tutorials - Replies (20)

Since I couldn't find any info here about this I was thinking to write a little tutorial, maybe it going to help.

I got my Pine64 recently and I don't have any display or keyboard available so the only way to get desktop environment was over VNC (or RDP). This tutorial is for Debian 8 Jessie with MATE and how to VNC.

How to VNC

1: login into terminal via SSH

2: update server packages

Code:
sudo apt-get update

3: install vnc4server 
Code:
apt-get install vnc4server

4: create a password for your vnc server
Code:
vnc4passwd

5: setup the xstartup script to get mate environment on VNC
Code:
sudo nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
 
 overwrite with this code
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x20+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
mate-session &
mate-panel &

6: start the vnc server with vnc4server -geometry <resolution> -depth <16,24 whatever depth you want>
Code:
vnc4server -geometry 800x600 -depth 24
 
 you should get a message like this
Code:
New '<hostname>:1 (<your_username>)' desktop is <hostname>:1

Starting applications specified in /home/<your_username>/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/<your_username>/.vnc/hostname:1.log

this means that a VNC server has started on your at port :1 (5901) if it said :2 in means port 5902 and so on...
user a VNC viewer (Real VNC, Ultra VNC) to login to your VNC server, usually is <your_local_ip>:5901 

If you get only a grey screen change the permissions on xstartup file

first stop the server 
Code:
vnc4server -kill :1

then
Code:
sudo chmod 755 xstartup

start the server again

Update #1
How to run VNC server as a service automatically

make sure you kill the server first
Code:
vnc4server -kill :1

make a new script where you can setup the VNC server
Code:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/vncserver

paste the code bellow (here you can put your desired resolution and depth)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin/"
DISPLAY="1"
DEPTH="24"
GEOMETRY="1024x768"
OPTIONS="-depth ${DEPTH} -geometry ${GEOMETRY} :${DISPLAY}"

case "$1" in
start)
/usr/bin/vnc4server ${OPTIONS}
;;

stop)
/usr/bin/vnc4server -kill :${DISPLAY}
;;

restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
esac
exit 0

save the file and make it executable
Code:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/vncserver

now make a unit file, that will describe the service and tell the server how to work with the service
Code:
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/vncserver.service

paste the code bellow (make sure to put your user under User=)
Code:
[Unit]
Description=Manage VNC Server

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/vncserver start
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/vncserver stop
ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/vncserver restart
User=pine64user

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

reload systemctl and enable VNC server
Code:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable vncserver.service

reboot and see if it's works

Coming next: connect to VNC server over SSH.
Have fun!


  Missing SD Card
Posted by: Chris_Mc11 - 04-26-2016, 06:02 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - No Replies

Perhaps I missed something somewhere in the updates but I received my Pine64 1Gb board today and it did not include the micro SD card I had ordered with it. In my backerkit I ordered a second board with a case and a couple of other things so I know those are coming separately but I thought the SD card with Android preloaded on it was coming?

Play Store Loses Authorization
  • Reported By: beiriannydd at pine64.pro
  • Reported On: April 29th 2016 - 1:02pm EDT
  • Pine 64 Model: Pine A64+ 2 GB
  • Operating System: Beta 1
  • Equipment Involved: Storage

I think this is an OS bug rather than a kernel bug. Play reports "requires authorization" or more esoteric errors after a few minutes of not buying things. removing account and re-adding is a work around.

Gigabit Ethernet Issues
  • Reported By: moondarkx at pine64.pro
  • Reported On: April 26th 2016 - 10:59am EDT
  • Pine 64 Model: Pine A64+ 2 GB
  • Operating System: Beta 1
  • Equipment Involved: Network

Gigabit ethernet on Pine A64+ 2GB is not working using Remix OS or Android, it detects IP but has no communication. Tried several other combinations of gigabit switches and connections (for instance, directly connecting to a computer). Using a 100mbps switch seems to solve the case, however some routers do not have the option to use 100mbps instead of gigabit (for instance, airport extreme/express). Also, some bakers brought the more expensive boards for projects that need gigabit ethernet and android/remix os system. Gigabit seems to work just fine in Linux.

Wacom driver rotates, should not
  • Reported By: hyperlogos at pine64.pro

  • Pine 64 Model: Pine A64+ 2 GB
  • Operating System: Release 3
  • Equipment Involved: Input Devices

Wacom graphire on Android build 20160428. When the screen rotates, the tablet input also rotates. It should not do this. This was supposed to be fixed in the wacom driver for Lollipop, according to Wacom... this makes it impossible to click on items at the "bottom" (right) of the screen.

Problem placing widgets

Most widgets, when I try to place them on my home screens hang and fail. I found this in the log (similar messages for lots of widgets):

This is consistent whenever a widget has a "configuration" screen after placing it. Widgets without a configuration screen seem to work OK.

Screen Cropped
  • Reported By: al at pine64.pro
  • Reported On: April 27th 2016 - 2:29pm EDT
  • Pine 64 Model: Pine A64+ 2 GB
  • Operating System: Release 3
  • Equipment Involved: Video/Display

Hi,

i'm experiencing a cropped display on all 4 edges so the available OSs are note usable.
at least 50px are missing on each side.

tested hardware:
-HP w2448hc (1080p-compatible)
-3 different HDMI cables

i tested the following OSses and the behaviour is the same for all:
-xubuntu-xenial-20160421-longsleep-pine64-8GB (already cropped while booting)
-remix-v2.0-20160415-pine64-8GB
-android-ver5.1.1-20160303-pine64-8GB

On another Samsung tv (720p-compatible) the TV gives me a "not supported display mode" for all cables and all OSses.
So there is no chance for me right now to use the PINE at all.

I'm hoping for a fix!
cheers

Google Play Services Crashes
  • Reported By: CptMonkeyFist at pine64.pro
  • Reported On: April 25th 2016 - 11:58pm EDT
  • Pine 64 Model: Pine A64+ 1 GB
  • Operating System: Release 3
  • Equipment Involved: Choose Equipment Involved

I booted up the 20160303 Android image, connect via WIFI (worked great), and start chrome to test internet connectivity. It crashes so I check the forums which say to uninstall+reinstall Chrome. I open up google play, search for chrome, uninstall it from google play, and reinstall. Everything is working fine so far. I can open chrome without crashing, BUT it says that to use Chrome I must have the most recent version of Google Play Services.

I ignore the "Google is enforcing their verified devices, DON'T DO IT" feeling in my gut and update Google Play services. Chrome now works, but Google play crashes whenever I try to search or open details of an app saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped". I've been wanting to try Remix OS for a while and it will probably suit my purposes better anyway. I'll post more details if I run into the same problem with that OS.

  Pre-purchaser info
Posted by: MattBSG - 04-26-2016, 04:42 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

I pre-ordered the pine after the kickstarter from the website. I am willing to get an acrylic casing for it (full enclosure), and a touchpanel. Everywhere I have seen there have been instructions to buy these and other accessories at store.pine64.com . I either get a no dns resolution, or a no name resolution error. If that is the wrong site, please provide the correct one? Also, are there any suggestions for the full acrylic case I'm looking for (OK with getting it 3d printed if necessary)


Sad IR Receiver installation
Posted by: JoeDirt - 04-26-2016, 03:30 PM - Forum: IR Receiver - Replies (1)

I received the remote control with my Pine 64 shipment. Remote control box had an IR receiver taped on the outside of the box and that was it. Not even a hand drawn schematic explaining how to hook it up.

Which pin is GND? Which pin is VCC?

Has anybody hooked it up?

Could you please post a picture or diagram?

Thanx.
