Hi i have a problem whit start up 
i use the "NEW Ubuntu Pine64 ML-Anderal.img" that i download from Wiki
Then i format the SD card to standard size so its nothing left on it
After that i burn it to the sd card whit win32diskimager
Then i plug the sd-card in to the pine and plugg in the HDMI then i use a 5V 2A powersuplie and get the red power led on and i only get "no signal" on my screen

I have The PINE A64+ (1.2Ghz board and 1GB SDRAM)

Do some one have a ide on what my problem can be?


NEW Ubuntu Pine64 ML-Anderal.img

This may be a bit of a n00b question.....

I was trying to install chromium but apt-get fails to locate a package, but I can in the Debian Jessie package list that there is an ARM variant of Chromium available.

Do I need to add a new source to pick that up?

Thanks!

Has anyone gotten a 3rd party wifi adapter to work yet with Debian or Ubuntu? I have tried ad TPlink TL-W722N (AR9271 based) and a non name RT5370 based and despite pulling their respective firmware libraries from non-free I am not having much luck. I have to assume it is because neither the adapters modules are included? Any thoughts or insite?

Hi,

My Pine is on its way and so I am thinking more about managing the platform.  I have already copied the image to my SDCard and so it is ready for the board's arrival.  However, the next question is ongoing maintenance.  Once I get it up and running, how do I ensure that I have the latest kernal and how do I upgrade it?  Historically, I have used apt-get package management but am not sure if that will work upgrading a Pine64 kernel.  

Naturally, downloading and flashing a new image file won't work because it will require me to rebuild the applications and related configurations.  Hence my question, once you have a running Pine64 Debian system, what is the easiest way to maintain the Kernel to assure that you have Longsleep's latest patches and general improvements?

Thank you in advance for any perspectives.

Hi,

I just received a shipping confirmation on my Pine64 on Friday. Yay!  I am excited for its arrival but am not sure about the timing.  Does anyone have any real world experience about how long it takes for a shipment to arrive after confirmation?  I am based on the east coast of the US and have tried USPS tracking and they have no record of the shipment.  This is not problematic because they usually don't until the package arrives in the US.

On a side note, I ordered another Kickstarter product that took 4 weeks from China and so I am not sure if this shipping is similar.  I hope note but am hoping for guidance so I can set my expectations appropriately.

Thank you!

[edit 3] Think I traced the problem to ehci --- does anyone know how to disable it in the kernel ? 

Hello

I connected an external usb3 hdd to the Pine64 (formated ext4) and it cannot see it. I have tried fdisk -l and nothing. 

Any suggestions would be very welcome. 

Cheers ! 

Luke

[edit] Dont know if this helps but the the bus with the drive connected returns no id: 

Bus 002 Device 125: ID 2537:1066

[edit 2] I did  "dmesg | more" to see if the drive is throwing out any errors and, as it turns out, it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this ? 

Here is tiny fraction of the output im getting:

Fake/counterfeit SD cards are a real concern for anyone trying to buy a reliable SD/TF card. You get them from every retailer since they sometimes don't even know that they sell fake cards. And trying to make 'good deals' almost always ends up with a fake SD card.

Compare with this nice article here:

Quote:I recently got about 20 64GB Micro SD cards for some project at various online sources (eBay, Ali, etc). 17 of those cards are fake.

I was reading the posts and noticed one person mention that they had to sign for their package. Is it being sent as signature required in person or can you sign and leave it for the USPS for the next day?

Hey there still waiting on my board, but wondering what project to start with, I wondered if anyone has thought about using it as an Oculus rift, or any other VR setup.
