(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)

[rolfl]

I'm using a USB flash drive.
I'm using cp to copy /var/cache/apt/archives (848MB) back and forth - no errors and same size.

Hey there,

When is the next kernel update planned for release? I'm having success getting things running on my boards and am anxious to make use of the iSCSI module.

Thanks!

Hi longsleep and thanks for all the effort. Can you include the IR driver (sunxi-ir-rx) as a module in your config? I just built it myself with your sources and tested it:

Well most certainly you suffer from undervoltage and your Drive just shuts down.

I have installed the image and working great. Thanks longsleep. I have managed to solve HDMI and Headphone voice.

I have set up auto login but still it ask me to click on my id (no password) on boot. How do I get rid of that and simply just boot into the desktop?

I'll assume that your Pine board is safely at home under close supervision.    Also, I'll assume that you are using a LightDM-based distro like Ubuntu MATE or Xubuntu.  If you'd like to automatically login as YOUR-USER-NAME, then do the following:
 
sudo YOUR-FAVORITE-EDITOR /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
 
and add something like the following lines, save, and exit (you might be actually creating the file):
 
[SeatDefaults]
allow-guest=false
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=YOUR-USER-NAME
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin

A full installation process that I used based on Longsleep's work (if you have any interest) appears here: https://www.element14.com/community/comm...4-with-2gb

The next time you power up or reboot, you should go immediately into the desktop associated with YOUR-USER-NAME.

I also built a mimimal Ubuntu image combined with the the BSP Kernel and my image building gear. Similar to the Arch Image **this image is intended for developers. If you are looking for accelerated 2D/3D or video decoding use Android** and do not bother with trying this image.


Let me know what you think.

Longsleep,

  Noob nere. I keep seeing "image." Ubuntu image, download image, etc, etc image.
I thought images were pictures.
What exactly does it mean to say; "Ubuntu image"?
Thank you.

He means a disk volume image.  A disk volume image generally takes the form of a file which is input to the Unix/Linux `dd` utility in creating the actual disk volume.
