(ARCHIVED) Debian Jessie Images (3.10.102 BSP Kernel) New Release

[pfeerick]

I don't know why libcrypto++9 won't install? https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64...9/download

Indeed. I suspect UnixOutlaws source list looked a little different, or maybe had some extra stuff in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, as I can't find quicksynergy using the repo list he gave, or maybe he'd been fiddling with the add-architecture flags to add armhf or something. If I try to install synergy on it's own, I don't have any problems (on pine64 debian).

Code:

pfeerick@pine64:~$ sudo apt-get install synergy quicksynergy

Let me start with THANKS Lenny!

I've been running pine64-image-debianbase-310102bsp-2.img since late July.
I've also used https://www.pine64.pro/linux-on-an-external-drive/

I hope to replace my Raspberry PI nginx webserver with Pine 64.
I have nginx, mysql etc up and running but I do fail to install certbot Let’s Encrypt Client

https://certbot.eff.org/#debianjessie-nginx say
sudo apt-get install certbot -t jessie-backports
but the result is
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:
certbot : Depends: python-certbot (= 0.8.1-2~bpo8+1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Please advice

Basically what has happened is that since you're trying to install certbot from the jessie-backports repo, since the letsencrypt guys have yet again broken the backports repo/dependencies (just look here and here to see how often they do it!). Probably the best method to just get it working use the instructions for self-compiling/generating certbot. You then generally use the certbot-auto script instead of certbot.

If you really, really, really insist on installing certbot via apt-get, you could add "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main" to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, run a "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get install certbot -t testing"... but it will upgrade/install some 100 odd packages, and there is a good chance it will break something in the process. Then again... it isn't the unstable branch, so it may not!!

Thanks, looks like this has done the trick.

Just thought I'd mention that Lenny's Debian/Mate build is pretty much the one to beat. I mean, looking forward to trying DietPi and will give Gentoo a shot when I have time to go through the documentation on the website but, this Debian build is "snappy", boots fast", works and plays well with my steam controller..... pretty-much my default interaction with the Pine at this point.

Hi
I have the 512mb version of the Pine64. I downloaded the Debian Jessie Mate software which wrote to the microsd okay and it boots up okay. The trouble is, it won't except debian as the password or user. Do have the wrong version?

thanks in advance

Only you know that.

... obviously one thing to check is that your keyboard is in lower case; userids and passwords are case sensitive.

You may have downloaded the wrong image... try ubuntu | ubuntu

Hi Kaupy,  press ctrl-alt-F1  and try logging in on the fbcon  as  debian | debian

... there won't be a cursor,  just try it.   To get back to the gui press  alt-F7

(post here the results, or join us live on the irc chat, see below)

I am not having any luck getting this (pine64-image-debianmate-310102bsp-2.img) running on my 512mb board (pine power supply, Costco 32gb Sandisk Ultra). At some point I get really odd behavior like recursive windows popping open that can't be stopped, write errors on boot etc. and while it was running I wasn't able to get the wifi working. Each reboot it seems to deteriorate to the point where it won't boot anymore, I get about 3 reboots then I have to reimage. I've tried USB writer and Image Writer, Win32 Disk Imager. Any other suggestions? I bought two of these cards at the same time and the other one is working fine in my 2GB pine so I don't think it's the card (2 pack from Costco).

about the only thing i can think may help figure out what the issue is would be to go with a smaller image on the 512mb board. try the xfce build or maybe one of the no desktop builds. the idea being to see if you can get a build that requires less resources to run stable continuously. if that is no help then not sure what you can do.
