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

Hello.

I was wondering, if USB audio is possible on Android for use with external USB DACs?

Please add electric circuit schematic to wiki.pine64, is very much needed. Thank you.

Hello,

Please find a solution to the pass-through problem....! 

I got the Pine64 for using Android environment with Kodi

Hi all,

I am using the latest version of longsleep's Ubuntu to set up a samba server.
After setting the server up and accessing the samba server through my desktop, I transferred a large file directly to the SD card.
To test the read speed, I started a transfer from the Pine to my Desktop.
Despite having gigabit ethernet, I seem to only be able to get speeds of 2 MB/s to 5 MB/s.
Any ideas what could be going on here?

Thanks

Does anyone know if there are any existing Vagrant  boxes with libvert provider on arm64 architecture, for use with pine64 ?
