I just received the PBP ordered in early September, but I found that the default operating system cannot add languages, and I cannot browse Chinese websites. Emailed pinebook@pine64.org but did not reply. Posts in the forum, but did not get an official response.this my post https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8671

How can I get support services? Thank you!

Hello, I'm waiting very patiently for a Braveheart and a PBP (not asking for shipping date) and doing some reading on the mean time.

Kinda excited to update to the 128 and add a m.2.

Anywho, I'd previously signed up with a Gmail email but it won't send emails to it for some reason.

Going back to reading now.

A little bit novice here and sry if it has already been discussed.

The preinstalled is is Debian for armhf and have therefor not full support for arm64?
I'm missing the 64 bit arm cross-compiler gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu 

"
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 crossbuild-essential-arm64 : Depends: gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu (>= 5.3) but it is not installable
                              Depends: g++-aarch64-linux-gnu (>= 5.3) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
"

Again, novice here and could have fucked up things. The dpkg --print-architecture says i have armhf.

Ok, I'm not very tech savvy but I'd like to learn. I am learning Ruby and I find it incredibly hard and frustrating to get started on my windows computer.  I would like to learn a Ruby and possibly Python and attend hackathons/workshops with the Pinebook Pro. Eventually, I'd like to make games but that's way later. I just want to be able to learn the basics of programming with this laptop and hopefully do some basic other things like:

• Dual boot Android/chrome - Honestly, I just want to play a few games from the google play store, lol. This part is super optional.
  
• Do schoolwork:  Access my classes on the website, download/read PDFs, view videos.
  
• Use apps like Mudlet.  I enjoy playing text-based games (MUDs) sometimes and I think Mudlet has a linux verison. A few games have browser based options, too.
  
• Bonus points if I can learn about Arduino. My kids may be interested in those.
  

I received my PBP this week. On startup I recognized some backlight bleeding.
But the main problem is that my eyes badly hurt when looking on the screen for 5 mins or longer.
I changed DPI from 96 to 120 - didn't get better

Screen resolution:
Changing screen resolution in MATE and terminal with xrandr other than 1920x1080 resulted in black screens

Gamma:
try to change with xgamma and xrandr - nothing happens

Only thing I can change is brightness via keyboard function keys.

Any ideas how to adjust screen settings on factory OS?

Hi. Received my new Pine64 Pro a few days ago and very happy with it buuuuuuut!

I installed Brother 2130 Laser Printer drivers from the Brother website after installing CUPS.

Nothing prints to the printer and only rubbish via PDF, it all looks good except the results.
http://localhost:631/printers/HL2130  shows everything OK.

Any help please?
I'm a bit of a newbie so if via terminal I details please.
TIA

Hey
I'd like to switch from Debian to Manjaro. I tried to flash the KDE and the XFCE eMMC installer as well as the sd card versions to sd cards. The eMMC version always gets stuck in the startup screen. Same things happens after installing the sd card versions onto the sd cards. Is there anyone having the same problem and knowing a solution?

Hi, 

i managed to get Ayufans 5.4 Mainline Kernel to run.

The Kernel option for CONFIG_TMPFS needs to be activated prior compiling.

Besides that u can follow this guide https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6799

I also increased ramdisk_addr_r in the uboot shell and   since this https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/PINE64_ROCKPro64 Guide mentioned something about it but i am not sure if it is necessary. 

Btw with this fix it still needs ages to boot since the dtbs is missing and some other stuff is very unoptimised. i also need around 2 min to login and couldnt get a keyboard working on the board directly.

Greetings Khaosgrille

Hello,

I tried to install lxqt on the default OS of the pinebook pro (Debian 9).

Firstly it's complicated: you have to install openbox in addition to task-lxqt-desktop, which doesn't install by default (!), And you have to go through lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings to add a session selector. In addition, the default configuration is very poor: there are almost no icons.

Second, lxqt modifies the chromium configuration folder, so that it is impossible to connect to your Google account, because the browser is not "secure" (!?)

Fortunately I had synchronize my profile in the Google cloud.

So to solve the problem:

Hi and happy new year for all..
I want to buy a H64 model B, What i want to know does is support opengl 3.3 ?
Thanks in advance
