I am a friend of pragmatic solutions, so here is a very simple one to handle current and future fixes required on Pine64 without having to provide packaging.

So there is now a script which can be run on any Pine64 (Linux) any time, multiple times. The script will fix whatever needs fixing. Thus the script is called "pine64_fix_whatever.sh". The idea is that whenever some issue comes up, a solution can be added to this script, run it again and be good.

Fixes (in the order as they have been added):

- Pulseaudio stuttering by disable timer-based audio scheduling


The script is part of my platform-scripts at https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...rm-scripts.

You can simply run it like this on all Linux images (as root):

Hello,
I just got my 4 Pine64's in the mail. I plugged them all in and got everything working using the latest Ubuntu 16.04 off the wiki. I noticed odd network issues. Eventually realizing that all 4 have the same exact MAC address.

Would this be an Ubuntu issue or is this a hardware issue? Is this a known issue?

What can I do about it? Can I change the MAC addresses?

When I try to download any of the 'Android Image Release 20160303' images from here, the site just hangs. Are other people experiencing that? Does anyone know of any other mirrors/torrents for these files (preferably the DD image). Thanks!

Is it possible to run Ubuntu 14.04 on the Pine64? I mostly just want 14.04 because of ROS Indigo.  I am currently trying 15.10 with ROS Jade but most of my other projects are in Indigo.

I just ordered (today) a 2gb board from the official site.
I later read that there is still trouble with 2gb boards, all the linux distros that work
with the 1gb boards have sound issues with the 2gb boards.
I don't think 2gb boards should still be on sale then until this gets resolved!
Is there a way to cancel my order?

Does anyone have an idea on which air mouse will be good for casual gaming and Kodi media center?

I prefer to buy something from Amazon.

TL;DR paste your tracking number into 17track.net instead of the default USPS that is included in the shipping e-mail. (Unless of course the USPS one works for you)

When I got an email saying my pine was shipping it had a link to USPS. My package is going from some Chinese shipper to Canada Post. (Not USPS) Which means the USPS link is blank, it doesn't show anything for that tracking number
Should have just emailed a link to 17track.net or similar website that can track pretty much all shippers. 17track.net has a very pleasant looking website. I've read a few reddit posts or something of people who were confused that nothing ever showed up on their USPS tracking page. Probably because their package never went through USPS. They said they did receive their boards though.

Just thought I'd mention it so if anyone else wants to know how far along their package is, they can find out. I certainly didn't even realize something like this was possible until I started buying things from aliexpress and they recommend 17track as well.

Ugh, Canadian shipping is soooo slow!

I got the Pine64 2GB and flashed Android 03032016 image and it's working great so far. 

For the push button, I connected it as a power button. When I push the button with android running, the display goes blank but the red light on the Pine64 stays on. So, it seems to continue to be at running state but no display. But I don't know how to bring back the display. If I unplug and plug back the power cable, it reboots just fine.  

Could anyone explain how the power button is supposed to work on Android?

1: Plug a network cable into the network port and the system pretty much hangs and reboots. (resolved this by reloading the current beta while having the network cable plugged in)
2: Remix OS pretty much hangs on anything. (After reloading, this seems to happen very little).
3. Obviously some Google Play applications just won't be compatible with this device or version. (Not shocking).
4. Downloads while being hardlined to network, are painfully slow.
5. Screensaver does not work.

Will update list as I find things. Feel free to post your issues too. Maybe we can form a large list.

Anyone else seeing these? is there a fix?

Can i use equipment from the Rasberry Pi 2?
