Just letting you all know that IRC chat is now accessible directly from the forums. The Chat icon is located in the top bar (see attachment) next to: FB, Twitter, Wiki, etc.
You can still use a dedicated client if you wish as per these instructions.

[edit] kind request: I had two people report issues connecting using the new system. If you experience issues, please let me know in this post. Thanks!
I've decided that NOTHING provided by anyone at Pine is going to be of any use. So gonna build my own use above guides.
I might put the Pine touchpanel on my BananaPI (unfortunately it doesn't have a touch interface connector on the board), shame because what I was hoping was to have a dedicated 64 bit ARM / RISC docker machine, and one that I could run Debian and some X server with touch-panel that I could easily switch to Console only mode...
Not having Bluetooth is a really PITA - but I'll live with that DISFUNCTIONAL aspect of the Pine "stock" WiFi/BT module - and wire in USB keyb/mouse combo - or just use UART and SSH.
I just received my backer kit that came with the open acrylic case. One of the four standoffs or supports for the board was broken off, leaving a divet in the acrylic. I'm not really sold on this particular case, I would prefer a completely enclosed case obscuring the board from vision, but this is what was offered in my kit. I know many people like to show off their "creations" but I'm a bit more humble and prefer the black box of mystery. I'm not sure if there is any broken item replacements in a Kickstarter project, nor am I wanting this as my "forever" case for my device. Any ideas or advice?
BTW, I haven't actually installed the OS on my device... just putting it together at this time but should be attempting that in the next hour or so.
Dear Tllim ,
Can we have the LCD driver binary or source code?
I want to use my 7 inch panel with remix OS.
What good is a LCD panel you can't use to prototype with? I don't want to be android dependant.
maybe it has been explained many times in this forum, but I can not find it. Could someone explain to me why the video acceleration for kodi and similar software does not work on the current builds? Is it an issue of graphic drivers? What is the deal here. It is really hard to find condensed, good information about issues concerning the pine64 at the moment.
I have my Pine connected to the tv through HDMI and the sound system through AUX, but the sound goes to the tv and not the sound system.
Is it possible to change this setting(?) or in any other way direct the sound to the sound system and the image to the tv?
If so, how do I do this?
Hey there, I'm using the the A64+ 2GB board and I've installed the 04/15 remix os listed on the wiki. I'm able to use wifi through the stock module however when an ethernet cable is plugged in I can't get any connectivity. It does not seem to get it's IP settings from the router at all, even when trying to configure it manually I am unable to connect to anything or ping the Pine's ethernet interface. I've heard that this might possibly be something to do with the Gigabit interface.
Has anyone had any similar problems and fixed them?
Is there a way to set the interface to FastEthernet (100mbps) within Remix OS?
EDIT: Found the bug report for the issue.
Still can't seem to find a way to change the interface to 100mbps within the operating system
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.
I've finally started playing with my Pine64+ board, and have been able to get both ubuntu and debian systems up and running thanks to the great work by longsleep and lenny. I am setting up a headless system which will probably be a lightweight webserver / database server for sensors and a few other bits and pieces... not 100% sure yet. However, in the meantime, since I have it sat on my desk atm, I thought it would be fun to hook it up to some internet radio, and let it do that for a while... but how do I get the audio to work? I don't have anything plugged into the HDMI, so can't use that for audio. And nothing seems to be coming out of the headphones jack, although mplayer seems to be playing fine, bar an error about the output device!!!
I started with the Debian Base (3.10.65 BSP) image, and applied the Debian Base (3.10.65 BSP) rootfs (although I suspect I didn't actually need too! ) from pine64.pro. I then updated uboot and the kernel with the included scripts. I setup my wireless connection, and ditched the eithernet cord. I changed the built-in user, and have SSH working. So everything else seems to be working so far. I noticed there was a mplayer-play script, but didn't even let mplayer run - mplayer stops due to no hardware device (e.g. /usr/local/sbin/mplayer-play.sh http://80.237.154.83:8120), whereas a simple mplayer http://80.237.154.83:8120 at least comes back with errors. Does anyone have any thoughts what I should do... is there something else I need to install or configure, or is this one of those "it doesn't work yet" bits? I came across another thread, but it didn't have any useful information anymore as links seem to have changed... I tried installing the alsa-tools alsa-utils libsound2 etc but that didn't send to help... I haven't tried adding pulseaudio yet.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Just some further information...
I added pulseaudio, and it got rid of the error, but didn't seem to be able to configure it (had no idea what I was doing though either!!).
I plugged my computer monitor which has HDMI audio output option, rebooted the pine and tried mplayer again... and it worked, but was clicking. I seemed to remember that that exact issue was the bug report I linked above, so I thought I'd just remove pulseaudio and try without it. Another reboot, and HDMI audio does indeed work, but for the steam I'm using as a test, it only plays the intro file, and then mp3123 gives up... whereas if I play from a SSH terminal with no HDMI audio, it get error messages, but at least it seems to continue onto playing the current track....
