  Renaming home folder
Posted by: inkslinger - 01-14-2020, 05:19 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (22)

After renaming the default user rock, I followed the instructions on the wiki to rename the home folder, using the following command in root terminal:


Code:
usermod -d /home/rock -m NewUser

I get the message returned:

Code:
usermod: no changes

How do I rename the default rock folder, so that my home folder name and user name match? I'm running the default Debian MATE OS.

  Sound Quit
Posted by: TonyK - 01-14-2020, 10:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

I have been using Youtube and the sound was working.  However, when I later tried to play a video the sound setting was at the max setting on YT and on the computer which caused the sound to quit working.  Now I can no longer get sound on anything neither with the headphones nor the speakers.  I did reboot the machine but that did not help.  The speaker test in the sound preferences did not work.  It seems as though the sound has been blown out.

Is this a hardware issue?  This is my first day with this machine and I was beginning to really like this machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.


  Captive portal at school not working on the Pinebook pro
Posted by: WilliamZieg - 01-14-2020, 07:00 AM - Forum: Debian - Replies (2)

I have been trying to troubleshoot this for awhile now but I am unable to connect to the school wifi as the captive portal page on chromium isn't working and displays a blank page and doesn't load. I am brand new to linux and would appreciate any help


  What's your SOC temperature?
Posted by: Der Geist der Maschine - 01-13-2020, 11:19 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

On my pinebook pro, the idle SOC temperature is 41 deg Celsius. When I put it under load with make -j6, it rises to 70 deg Celsius.

My wife's pinebook pro arrived and the idle SOC temperature is just 33 deg Celsius. When we put it under load with make -j6, it rises to 61 deg Celsius, only.

With idle, I mean just being logged into Mate without running any programs.

What are your's SOC temperatures?


Why is there a difference? Maybe the thermal paste sits sometimes better/worse on the SOC?

  rockpro64 support in the rockchip uboot
Posted by: dedoz - 01-13-2020, 01:51 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - No Replies

Hi,

Does anyone know why the rockchip-linux u-boot repo doesnt have rockpro64 support? https://github.com/rockchip-linux/u-boot

I see the support exist in the https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/ but that repo doesnt have all the rockchip tools.

Thanks for the help.


  How do I install the Pine64 Installer?
Posted by: leibide - 01-13-2020, 01:10 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (9)

This is a silly question which nobody else found necessary to ask (I've looked), but anyway here goes:
How do install the Pine64 Installer utility?
Do I do this?: sudo apt-get install git
then:
git clone https://github.com/pine64dev/PINE64-Inst...0.0-beta.3?
Sorry for opening a new thread just for this. Feel free to move it elsewhere if there is a better place for it.
