Hey, 

Was wondering if Fedora has been tried on pine64 with any luck by some of the lucky few to have received their board already. 

If not I'm assuming it's theoretically possible,  yes? 

I currently run Fedora as both my workstation and home computer and would like to bring it to the pine in about to receive once shipping is organised on their end.

Hi,

I'm trying to load the Xbox controller driver that I compiled through packer, but I'm having trouble getting it to run because /dev/uinput is missing. I know the uinput module has been part of the kernel for some time now, so it isn't just a case of running 'modprobe uinput'.

Does anyone have a way of getting this to work?

Hi,

I have 64+ with 2GB, and I did noticed that every time I power cycle the board Ethernet is getting a different MAC address, anyone noticed the same?

I normally do MAC reservation and assign fixed IP to all devices I have home, but with this one every time I setup the reservation with MAC, next boot it kept using the old dynamic IP with new MAC address, this is first time I see a device like that.

I am using Arch Linux Image with XFCE4 Base, no HDMI output like most. I am sure it is the same board, same CPU.

Hi, I connected my pine via an ethernet cable. I have a 100mb/s connection but I only get like 3.5mb/s seconds at best on my pine. I tried multiple speedtest but I always get a really slow connection, I even used multiple ethernet cable to be sure it wasn't one that was defective but it didn't worked. I tried a speedtest with my phone over Wi-Fi and with my laptop with the cable and I always got 100, even a little bit more. Am I the only one with this problem and my pine may be defective?

I have had 2 weeks to play with my 2gb Pine64, but could not get it to boot completely even once. I changed OS to burn with (Linux & Windows 10), beefed up the power supply, and unplugged every extra peripheral. Here's what finally worked:

1. Downloaded the current Android image (Pine A64 Android Lollipop Image Rev 2016012)
   
2. Used WinRAR to decompress the archive (I believe this was the big change - was using 7Zip)
   
3. Used Allwinner PhoenixCard Bootable SD-Card Creator to format and burn the image (Larson's video was helpful)
   
4. Inserted into the Pine64 and powered on with only power and HDMI plugged in.
   

Good morning,

Has anyone tested the 4K video output on a 4K television or monitor?

(I know that Android outputs in 1080p.)

Thanks!

Hi guys!

How you guys connect wifi through the official wifi/bt module?
I am using this image(Arch Linux Image with XFCE4 Base on Longsleep Image 20160304-1)

lspci -k or lsusb -v not working at all

Any idea?

Xrdp is an X impmentations of Microsoft's rdp protocol. I have used it on several other linux software/hardware platforms and it works well. To install it on debian all I did was;
sudo apt-get install xrdp

That was it, then I connected with a windows RDP client and everything works.

I cant recall if there is an internal hardware watchdog or not? Anyone know?

720p as default, first boot, resolution.

This is just a suggestion that should allow more HDMI monitors and TVs to give display on first boot.

I have noticed many reported problems are "no display", and some of those people are trying to use monitors and TVs that can not handle 1080p. Armbian did this with their OS to solve that simple problem that was taking up time in forums. Even many HDMI monitors may work if they were some other resolution like 1280x1024 or 1440 x 900 and the Pine is set at 720p. I'm not sure how far the OS devs are in getting the correct dts settings for 720p, but I feel that would be the best simple fix for many.

Request for comments.
