Hi,

I have a pine64 1gb. It works well... but the network card link light (green) blink. Is it a known bug in the driver or a problem with the card itself?

Hi all,

So i have Ubuntu install on the pine as well as retroarch and emulationstation. If version is needed to help ill post it later.
Everything is running, but the performance and small issues are killing me. 

Retroarch: seem to have been installed properly however when i launch it, the menu appears and no controller, keyboard or mouse seems able to move it at all.search the web and tryu to change the conf regarding the to set all the possible values, result = 0 .... input_driver = "udev"


Emulationstation: running but as it enter everything is so dam slow, the controllers didnt work properly i was able to set some buttons, but not all it seem it didnt respond... try other remotes same situation. was able to set the keyboard perfectly. but the perfomance of the menu is awful and not responding it seams.,,,,

So i dont know if is the OS, the conf, the pine or the user : HELP????

I'm trying to burn the RemixOS image but I get this empty window... I'm on Windows 10.

Good morning!

I got my Pine 64+ 2GB board last week and have been playing around with it a bit. I installed the Wifi/Bluetooth module that came with it (making sure it was put on the correct way with all the pins lining up), and then installed the Remix OS image onto an SD card:

Everything was installed onto the SD card just fine, and the system booted up fine. I was not able to get the WiFi working right out of the box, so I plugged in my ethernet cable and looked for any updates. There were no updates. I am able to get online with the ethernet plugged in, but just not WiFi.

I turned on the Bluetooth portion, and was able to "see" my other BT devices. 

Is anyone else having issues getting the WiFi or Bluetooth to work, and does anyone have any thoughts on how to get it to work, or even troubleshoot it?

I'm fairly new to tinkering with these types of things. I've used Raspberry Pi machines in the past with USB dongles for WiFi, but this is obviously different.

Thanks, in advance!

I have had my Pine 2GB for about a week. I have tried Remix ( both Phoenix and DD ), Android, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, etc. All on a class 10 samsung sd card, with a 2.4A power supply. Connected to multiple displays. All this to no avail. All I ever get is a display that tells me there is no input detected.
Has anyone else had this problem? I emailed Support about it and have not heard back yet. If there is a problem with my board I would like to return it and get a new one. I was very excited to get this, but the problems are taking the wind out of it.

Any help would be great,
Cheers, Matt

Would any kind soul consider forwarding the KS e-mails to me?
I'm really interested in what they've said before so some specific users doensn't have to lose their temper over people asking the same questions.

Thanks all.

Hoping we can get a mod to sticky this eventually. Has anyone tested any 3rd party batteries on the Pine? If so can we get the dirty details here so others know what may work if they order one?

Just wanted to take a few mins to thank all the moderators on the forum. I went looking for the right place to post a battery compatibility thread today and drilling in I realize how nice and organized things are becoming. Thank you for the increased effort. Dont think you are done yet, your goal should be to get to the point where tkaiser cant post any more snide comments about bad/old info 

tkaiser no offense man you answer a lot of questions, just trying to save your fingers from wearing out 

Hi, Managed to hook up the PINE with the power button attach on a 2mA power. However nothing on HDMI screen. Anything that I missed out?

Is there any way of running a 32bit version of linux (preferably Debian) on the Pine64? 

I got my board a week ago and have realised that there's a lot of software lacking on the arm64 front (Plex Media Server, webmin), that I want to use.

My plan was to switch my Raspberry Pi 2 B+ (Media server, web server, file server) for the Pine64 for the extra power and Gigabit lan; without the ability to run the Plex Media Server I can't do any of this.
