  Questions about the ROCKPro64 1x1 Dual Band WIFI module
Posted by: thelabratrules - 04-04-2020, 03:29 PM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

Hi!

I'm planning to buy this module, though I have some questions about it.

First, does it have compatiblity issues? I've read that in the past there were problems with the WiFi module - though I'm not sure it was the same model.

Second, what speed can it achieve on 5Ghz? I haven a 1000/1000 Mbps connection, so a minimum 200Mbps down and up would be reasonable for me.

Third, do I need to get an antenna for it?

Fourth, is it easy to unplug the chip? I have two RockPro64 (2GB/4GB version), I plan to use it for one, but there could be occasions where I'd like to plug it in the other one.


  Where to start Retro System
Posted by: denniston - 04-04-2020, 10:10 AM - Forum: Game Station Emulation - No Replies

I have a couple of the OG Pine64.  I think one is 1gb, the other is 2gb.

I ordered a couple Wireless USB remote controls (hopefully they work).

I want to set this up so that me and my kids can share the old school video games I enjoyed 30 years ago.

What OS should I start with?


Is there a step by step tutorial that I could walk me through the process of setting up / installing what I need?

Thanks


Shocked Cannot reenable WiFi
Posted by: novaprospekt216 - 04-04-2020, 08:26 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hello pinebookers,

I tried the Wifi privacy switch (pine+f12) and the wifi instantly stopped working.

But after doing Pine+f12 and seeing blocknum blink two times and restarting, wifi is not working.
I cant even see wlan with iwconfig (no wireless extensions) and ifconfig only shows lo.

Attached is a photo of dmesg | grep wifi

Thank you!

EDIT: Booting Manjaro from an SDCard has the same issue. ANd rebooting after pine+12 does not help :O


  Mr. Fixit Script Manual Update + MicroSD Boot help
Posted by: SageFox - 04-04-2020, 12:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (12)

Hello, I am attempting to install Manjaro but micro sd is not booting up before emmc. I have already run Mr. Fixits script a couple months ago, but see no button or icon to update again, which is what I am assuming is what I need to do so I can boot to micro sd finally. Question is, how to I update if the .sh file is not in the folder it is supposed to be in. Do I download an update manually? Do I run a command of some kind??


Alas! I have answered my own question. Even though I thought I could not find the file I ran the command:  sudo /usr/bin/mrfixit_update.sh   anyway and have received success. Spread this info far and wide!

However the update did not help with booting from micro sd. Is there a button combination I have to press upon boot? Is there even a selection screen when booting to choose which device to boot from??

Hey!  Just getting started looking for a new device with Linux.  My aunt bought me an amazon kindle for Christmas.  I’ve been trying to write Raspbian to the sd card but thus far haven’t been successful.  I didn’t even know what a micro as was until I started using the kindle.


  TP-Link ARCHER T2U PLUS AC600 unrecognized/build error
Posted by: thelabratrules - 04-03-2020, 07:20 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (1)

Greetings!
I wanted to use this wifi antenna, but it isn't recognized, so I tried to hunt some drivers for it.
I managed to find some drivers that could be good, maybe, but when I do the build process, I always get "(bad exit status: 2)"
What can be the problem?


Question Taxes and import charges to the Netherlands
Posted by: kramer65 - 04-03-2020, 02:08 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I'm interested in buying the (UBPorts PinePhone). I wonder about any extra taxes and import charges though. I live in the Netherlands and when I receive packages worth more than roughly €30 from outside the EU I've had to pay taxes and import charges before, which can add up quite a lot, often up to 50% or more of the original price.

Does anybody know from where the phone will be shipped?

And did other people in the Netherlands already order PinePhones to their home?


  Some keyboard shortcuts won't work on Manjaro KDE
Posted by: Daysleeper_Ed - 04-02-2020, 10:40 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (6)

This is kind of a weird issue. I installed Manjaro KDE to the EMMC. I tried some hotkeys common to other distros and they did not work:

  • Super+Left arrow
  • Super+Right arrow
  • CTRL+ALT+T
I initially thought these might not be default and so I did some searching. I eventually found where the shortcut settings were and confirmed they were actually set in the Global keyboards shortcuts already. But for some reason, they don't work.

To be clear, what happens when say for example I press Super+Right arrow it brings up the menu. It was like it was not detecting I pressed the arrow key.  Doing CTRL+ALT+T just does not do anything. Good thing though that Super+E works and launches Dolphin just fine. CTRL+Esc shows me System Activities. I only tried those keys because they are for things I usually do. I did not test any other shortcuts.


Someone out there may have a fix they have tried and I would really appreciate suggestions.

I have the ISO (UK) keyboard and the keyboard settings say the keyboard model is Generic 105-key PC (Intl.), if that makes any difference.
