I'd like to run the Pine64 as a headless Linux server - no GUI and no additional software.  Really just a barebones system and then slowly add the packages I need.

What distros can I load for a headless server?

tllim,

Will the next android build contain the fix to the Ethernet drivers that the linux builds have had for some time? To enable gigabit?

As the subject states, I'm looking for a way to disable mouse acceleration in Android 5.1.1. I was able to change the overall cursor speed, but the acceleration is driving me crazy. Hoping someone has an answer. Thanks in advance!

I have the 512mb Pine64.  I've installed the ubuntu image from the FAQ page.  I am in a constant logon-crash-reboot cycle. I try to access the crash reports, but it reboots to login screen overtime.  Any suggestions on how to debug this cycle?

I have the A64+ board, and I figured I'd use it to replace my Pi2 as a media center, and use the Pi2 for something else. I'm in the same boat as lots of others - GB network isn't working, which was one of the main reasons I got the damn thing. If I reduce the network connectivity on my switch to 100mbps for the port I connect the Pine64 to, it works fine (well, y'know.. "fine"). I dont even get the slow speed - I get an IP, but the Pine refuses to connect to anything. 

My issue here is not with the issue at hand - I get that bugs can and will happen. What frustrates me to no end is the fact that there is nothing from the Pine guys on this. TL hasn't replied to a single thread about this as far as I know, and not even recognized this as an issue. 

Could we please get an official statement on if the issues lots of us are experiencing with GBe are even on your list of things to fix? Do you guys have an ETA, or an idea on what the issue could be? If you don't think it's the Pine - any suggestions on what else it could be? I've tried 4 different wall outlets (2 of which I use to power Pi2 and Pi3), and they don't make a difference at all.

Hi,

I tried the hardware forum and got no response, so i'll try my luck here...

I'm looking for a free IDE and some instructions on how to create a simple and basic image of my own.

I'd like to control the GPIO pins and maybe experiment a bit with some UART communication.

I'm a hardware engineering student and have a bit of experience with MCUs. I just got my PINE last week, but had no luck in finding a proper tutorial or guide on how to fully control all the of the cool PINE features.

I saw that it may be possible using an eclipse based platform for ARM devices called DS-5, but once installed it didn't offer anything more than a empty editor and no explanations.

Any advice at all would be great!

Thanks!

hello,

I'm trying to install Logitechmediaserver on my new Pine A64+, 2GB. I'm now using this :Ubuntu Linux Image [20160502] based on Longsleep build, updated by Pine64.

I tried with Debian base and Xenial from pine64.org too.

I end up with some modules not loading. I have tried to use different versions of Perl (originally5.22) and building the CPAN modules myself (buildme.sh). No luck. It seems that config.guess and config.sub  included in those numerous tars are not able to detect the system. Is there any known  workround for this?

I intend to use PINE as my LMS server, so any distro as basis is enough for me. No need for GUI even

I'm NOT an expert so probably I'm doing something trivially wrong
