  Best OS for general use?
Posted by: shepscrook - 04-21-2016, 08:22 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (4)

Hey everybody, I just decided to start looking into my Pine board, and I am looking to use it as a general messenger, web surfer box. Nothing fancy, Gmail, youtube, etc. The Pi 2 is painfully slow using raspbian, so I was hoping this would be faster. I'm ok with using Android if need be.

Output is 1080p but possibly eventually 4k (monitor).

Wired network connection.

Any suggestions on which OS is currently the most stable/fastest for those uses?

Question Issues with Ubuntu MATE
Posted by: joneszn - 04-21-2016, 02:07 AM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (5)

So I got my pine64 (1GB) up and running following the instructions in damikeh's thread ( http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=622 ) but ran into some issues. Full run-down:
Followed instructions exactly, MATE up and running pretty easily. However, 
1. LightDM (/usr/sbin/lightdm-gtk-greeter) was popping up an error at login, and every login I have to login in twice. This error pops up every 5-10 minutes 
2. I noticed the Software Boutique is empty but haven't done much with that.

My biggest issues were trying to run Firefox. (Midori works well enough)
1. Firefox won't even pop up, crashing with segmentation faults.
2. This led me to realize that the way this build is installed, it didn't go through the usual setups, so no locales were set.
Fixed the issue:

Code:
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
Then
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
So this worked but kept throwing errors in Firefox: "firefox crashed with sigsegv in raise()"

Any suggestions on this? Starting to wonder if it's just an issue of 16.04 MATE being so fresh and wondering if I should try another desktop image. Huh

Thanks in advance.


  Native Xbox/wiimote support?

Any chance we could get native wiimote/Xbox controller support? I have an Xbox to USB adapter and would love to use it to play games without having to re-change settings after every upgrade


  OS for 512mb?
Posted by: joshdude58 - 04-20-2016, 06:39 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (9)

Hello, I recently received my Pine 64 512mb model and have yet to successfully get it booted. I have tried installing android 5.1.1, remix os, and arch linux (all listed on the wiki page), but had no luck. I understand that these state they are tried/require the 1gb model, but I am very eager to get started with my pine. Are there any operating systems the pine 64 512mb model can run? Thanks!


  Youtube only goes to 480P
Posted by: ZMOT7S - 04-20-2016, 05:58 PM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (1)

So I got the newest version of Remix and downloaded the Youtube app but it will only allow me to select 480P max. Anyone have any idea what's up with that? Other than that browsing seems fine. Haven't tested much so far.

  Screen size issue
Posted by: andku85 - 04-20-2016, 01:47 PM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (8)

So I just loaded the new Remix OS to my board(Remix OS 2.0 Image Release 20160415 Beta). I had to wait on this version because the board I have is the 2gb one.

After loading the image up and ran the first boot. Looking at my tv i noticed the task bar at the bottom is half hidden and the icons are right up against the side of the tv. I adjust my tv aspect ratio to normal and wide and no change at all. Anyone else has this issue?


  Any Android App to control RemixOS ?
Posted by: afr0 - 04-20-2016, 10:09 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (1)

Hi everybody,

I'm searching an App for Android smartphones as my OnePlus One, who can take control on other Android device as RemixOS on Pine64.
I want to make my Pine64 usuable without any wireless keyboard and mouse.

Thanks by advance Wink
