Hi all

I had some of the same troubles getting my board to boot.

Plugged board into HDMI input on TV and booted right up.

I also had the issue with red power LED turning off. I swapped out the power supply with a spare
5V supply from an old cell phone to resolve that.

I'm running the Debian OS, downloaded from Pine64 Wiki site. I tested without ethernet plugged in. The boot process pauses for about 2 minutes as it looks for an active LAN connection. After that, login prompt displays and all seems OK.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I am newbie here.. Sorry for noob question.. How to fully unroot?.. I download DD image for 16gb.. Not Rooted DD image.. But why that version still ROOTED when i checked with Root Check app..

I cant streaming Malaysia apps (Astro on the Go & iFlix) because of the rooted.. 

I tried to unroot using SuperSU but failed (long time processing). And then i decided to Manual Unroot.. But that apps still can't streaming even Root Check app said my device not rooted anymore..

Quote:List of deleted file (Nautilus via Ubuntu)
1. /preinstal/SuperSu/SuperSu.apk
2. /system/bin/busybox-smp
3. /system/bin/su

I have a fresh and install on ubuntu xubuntu-xenial-20160501-longsleep-pine64-8GB
After the boot , appear a message System program problem detected error, is there a way to fix that.

Besides that message everything appear to work but that message is there for a purpose.

So we've been in the kitchen cooking up something nice for all you Pine 64 users.  I am Dylan Callahan and I am the founder, developer and project manager for the Chromium OS for All SBC project. I am here to let all Guys and gals that love your Pine 64. That an awesome operating system is headed your way!  
Little brief background on us we started making images for the Raspberry Pi 2,  and with the success of that project we have decided tonight only focus on the Raspberry Pi line of products but now also focus on single board computer from across the community such has the awesome pine 64.   
We are chromium OS for all SBC’s. We started as a simple Reddit post. We have grown to be featured on Lifehacker and many online websites, We even made it into MagPi.  We are a group of Hobbyist,  that love developing and troubleshootin  and most of all creating images of the Chromium operating system for small single board computers. Now a timeline for this release Is within the next 2 months.  now that may sound like a lot of time, but trust us the wait will be worth it. These images will support the 1GB and 2GB models. We'd like to think the Pines 64 Founders for their  enthusiasm and support of this project.
Now we normally name our releases after famous comedians.  However  we are going to be doing something different. We want  the pine 64 community,  to help us name these new releases,  so if you have any great ideas for the code name of these new images,  feel free to drop a comment.
The next thing I need to talk to you guys about is simply we will need some beta testers so if you are interested please send me a message and when the time comes we will send you a link to a test image,  who will then need you to tell us what needs to be fixed.
This is a very exciting time,  I hope you guys will visit our website for updates chromiumosforsbc.org, Subscribe to our Reddit Channel. /r/chromiumosforsbc. So if you guys have questions answer and i'll try my best to answer all of them.

I have 2 boards, both are 2GB A+. Both have gone through the last 2 ROM updates. Both have had 16,32 and 64 SD cards installed made by 5 different manufacturers. (Don't get me started in the ridiculous Phoenix software.)

I have one board I cannot get to connect to the internet. Sometimes I get an IP address, most times I don't. When it does get an IP address, the clock will set to internet time. That is all I can do with the board.

The second board is slower than my old windows 98 machine! After powering on the board, and getting to the desktop, once anything is clicked, the board will reboot itself. This happens after every hard reset (unplugging power).

After that, clicking on icons freezes the system. Everything gets the error "** is not responding. Wait or close".


My 8 year old's $30 Proscan Android tablet works better than this piece of crap!

How much longer do I wait to request a refund?

fresh install, everything was fine installing SSH and VNC4Server
Reboot

Now it just hangs after the initial linux boot on the second black screen a the line for sunni-gmac 1c30000.eth eth0:  .......

hoping to not have to wipe the SD and start over, but after reading a few posts, I'm wondering if someone with more knowledge might be able to shed some light?

 
thoroughly disappointed in this board.  advertised as android being the "main" OS and android doesnt even work right. ethernet is unbearably slow, and keyboard support is horrible.  2 different Logitech keyboards would just drop out.  when, keyboard is working i get about 1.5 second lag between key press and it actually registering.

so far its just sitting as a basic debian box, accesed by ssh only since thats the only OS I can get to run right, and from my understanding debian was built by a community member, not by a pine dev. 

so my question is, what is the pine team doing about software dev, since it seens that they cant port a working OS

i am glad to help, but i know nothing about porting a OS to a new board, and that seems to be needed before i can start playing with it.  

Hi,

For those looking to do this.  Here are the instructions.  FF works perfectly for me with this change.  Credit goes to @androsch for helping with the basic configuration.

Note: all commands should be run as root

1. sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
   
2. sudo apt-get update
   
3. sudo apt-get install firefox:armhf
   

I noticed there wasnt a build directory /lib/modules/3.10.101-0-pine64-longsleep to compile in kernel modules.


How would I go about doing this?  I have a HFS+ formatted drive I would like to attach for the Plex server and I would rather not reformat the drive and lose compatibility with my iMac.
Thanks in advance,
Cole
