I used the debootstrap advice here:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...2#pid66592

Instead, I installed Focal, omitted the CP ld-linux-armhf.so.3 line, and was able to use it. However, I get stuck installing Chromium. It's trying to install it using Snap and there are connectivity issues and accessing localhost.

Any recommendations?

I've been trying to get MakeHuman (makehumancommunity.org) to work for Blender (Blender.org). So far, I can easily install Blender from the repo. Using PPA, I can install Make Human (new and old) without issues. However, it crashes when I launch it. 


I've tried to reinstall libqt 4/5 OpenGL, Mali library, and Python modules. With each install/reinstall, I was able to get a little further until I hit messages mentioning that certain extensions aren't available such as GL_ARB_multisample and GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two.

Has anybody had any success in running MakeHuman?

Hi! I booted up my PBP for the first time, and I misunderstood the locale question, and selected the wrong one. So the whole system started in Arabic. I figured out how to change the locale in the settings manager, but it only changed about half of the text back to English. I literally have not done anything else on it yet, is there a way to redo the initial boot process? I feel like that would be the simplest option if possible.
(I'm fairly new to Linux and extremely new to Manjaro)

I saw a thread about providing a repair kit for the PBP last year and that seems like a great idea. However, I lost just one screw from the front of my device (under where the trackpad is) and I just need to be able to get a replacement screw. Paying for shipping to America would be ridiculous. Is there any way I could get the spec to purchase a replacement?

In this article I talk about using the Flutter mobile app framework (and Dart programming language) to create the PineTime Companion App for Android and iOS.

You can see that building a Bluetooth LE app with Flutter is not that hard! :-)

Your First Bluetooth Low Energy App with Flutter

I'll be writing another article about creating the PineTime Companion App for PinePhone with Go and GTK3... As soon as I receive my PinePhone :-)

I am working on the thermal simulation activities of ROCK64 board with heatsink R64-HS.  Can anyone send me the datasheet of heatsink R64-HS, iincluding the thermal resistance , or  the 3D model of R64-HS? Thanks.

Hello,

I received my pinebook yesterday and have been playing with it, excellent piece of hardware!

One question I have is what is the glossy thing on the touchpad? It looks like a sticker that can be removed but I wasn't able to remove it without forcing it and didn't want to damage it in case it's vital (a la galaxy fold ). Should I remove it?

Thanks!

This is a bit silly, but I figured I'd post the results anyway. If you, like me, ended up with an M.2 NVMe adapter with a ribbon cable that doesn't fit, you may or may not want to follow in my footsteps and get it to work anyway.



Since the M.2 adapter card is mostly empty of tracks save for the connectors at the end, you can (I think...) safely drill into part of it in such a way as to allow mounting the card in a position that lets the ribbon cable work. You only get one screw, unfortunately - the other two end up out from under the board - but between that, the ribbon itself, and perhaps some tape or poster putty, it's a fair sight better than letting it hang loose.

I don't know if all the mis-fitted cables are the same, but in my situation, drilling a hole of about 2mm diameter at a point 26mm from the bottom edge and 46mm from the connector-bearing edge (bottom and right edges in the photo attached) turned out to be the ticket. Go slow; if you try to drill through too fast, you'll buckle the copper surface layer outwards on the backside.

I can't test it myself right now - I don't have an M.2 NVMe module of my own, and was mainly just trying to get this thing installed so I could stop worrying about losing it - but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

EDIT: ok, apparently attachments are not a real thing after all. Here's a self-host instead.

Hi, I was gifted a Rockpro64 and an ssd drive. I am extremely new to Linux, and have no idea how to set up my new Rockpro64. Is choosing Linux the best route? I need an extremely simple beginners guide. Please help. Thank you.
