The last two posts I did were hijacked by idiots who wanted to know how real my cards were. I'm going to try this again. 

How will I know if the board is working? Right now I have just power, HDMI and a mouse. I just put the 32GB card (NOT A FAKE SO DON'T BOTHER ME WITH THAT) in that is loaded with Android 20160216. The only thing I'm getting is a black screen for the last 5 minutes. It turns on for 15 seconds and then the light on the monitor light flashes.

Ubuntu newbie here.  Loaded lighttpd  (apt-get) and it failed.

Pine64 2gb memory
NEW Ubuntu Pine64 ML-Anderal.img

Hello everyone ,

I bought the pine 64 on march but i have a question , 

I have a iMac 2010 screens and i want to use it as a monitor but the question is how ?

Actually isn't a display port is the older model i have searched and didn't found any answer / full specs .

I searched how it will work with Raspberry but i think i need a newer model ( Later 2011 ) to do it .

Thanks for any responses .

I'm trying to install PHP5 so that I can run a Dokuwiki server, but I get this error message:

I know this just me being a bonehead, but I can't figure out how to set a static IP on the Pine64.  I managed to set the address once with no problems, but after I re-imaged the sd card and tried to set the address the next couple of times, I managed to screw it up so badly that I had to re-image the sd card after each attempt.

I tried a couple of ways that failed (I can't remember what I did the first successful time):
Edited /etc/network/interfaces

Added these lines:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.206
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

This didn't work.

Then I noticed a strange (to me) lines in the interfaces file:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

So I edited the eth0 file in interfaces.d and added the lines above to it.

Didn't work either.

Anyone have an idea on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

I just stood up a simple Samba server on my Pine64, configured the same as my existing Pi2 server.  I tested it using a robocopy backup script with a set of sample files.  Here are the details:

Files:
1 ripped dvd
1000+ epub books
Miscellaneous small files

Configuration:
Pi 2 model B
WD Red 3tb drive
Sabrent USB3.0 enclosure

Pine64 2mb
WD Red 3tb drive
Sabrent USB3.0 enclosure

Quick results:

I also then deleted test files, and the Pine64 won easily.

Pi2 - avg 33 items/sec, time 3:40
Pine64 - avg 45 items/sec, time 2:40

This is just what I was hoping for.   Now to install DokuWiki and see how it compares to the Pi.

tllim in particular, but anyone else in the know too.

What plans if any are being made to help address the large amount of HDMI issues folks are reporting (myself included).  Of particular interest is simply being able to use the board at this point.

Thanks,

Hi i have a problem whit start up 
i use the "NEW Ubuntu Pine64 ML-Anderal.img" that i download from Wiki

This may be a bit of a n00b question.....

I was trying to install chromium but apt-get fails to locate a package, but I can in the Debian Jessie package list that there is an ARM variant of Chromium available.

Do I need to add a new source to pick that up?

Thanks!

Has anyone gotten a 3rd party wifi adapter to work yet with Debian or Ubuntu? I have tried ad TPlink TL-W722N (AR9271 based) and a non name RT5370 based and despite pulling their respective firmware libraries from non-free I am not having much luck. I have to assume it is because neither the adapters modules are included? Any thoughts or insite?
