[28/03/2017] openSUSE Tumbleweed Images for Pine64

[Terra854]

Hello everybody.

I have just released a new openSUSE image based on the latest BSP kernel (3.10.105)

Full changelog:

- Kernel updated to 3.10.105-0-pine64-longsleep-3
- All software has been updated.
- SoPine images are now available

Also, I have enhanced longsleep's build tools to be able to generate openSUSE images (alongside other improvements). The pull request to longsleep's repository is currently under review but if you want to try it out now, you can view it at my repository (https://github.com/Terra854/build-pine64-image/)

As usual, links are in the first post.

Thanks for Terra854's work. I can't active the WiFi/Bluetooth module (https://www.pine64.org/?product=wifi-802...4-0-module) with openSUSE revision 28/03/2017 or version 07/12/2016. I tried the following steps.

1. I used the Ubuntu Desktop Image (20161215) with WiFi module, and I can connect to the WiFi. So I think the WiFi module is good.

2. I used the openSUSE image revision 28/03/2017, and followed the steps https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=982 without setting the DHCP. After reboot, the WiFi was not automatically connected. The wlan0 appeared after I used the command:

Code:

sudo ip  link  set  wlan0  up

 
and WiFi signals appeared with the command:

Code:

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

The I try to active the wlan0 (with some messages) by 

Code:

sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Could not re-add multicast membership for vendor events: -2 (No such file or dire
ctory)

The output of ifconfig is:

I still can't connect to the WiFi.

3. I imageed a new openSUSE revision 28/03/2017, and tried to use yast.
In YaST2 --> System --> Network Settings, I edited the wlan0 (WLAN controller) information and saved. But the details of wlan0 were:

Code:

WLAN controller (Not connected)                                                
MAC : 34:c3:d2:6d:4a:f6                                                      
BusID : mmc1:0001:1

 
It seemed the wlan0 not active and I can't connect to WiFi.
Note that after the command

Code:

sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

the wlan0 in the YaST2 changed to

Code:

WLAN controller                                               
MAC : 34:c3:d2:6d:4a:f6                                                      
BusID : mmc1:0001:1

I still can't connect to WiFi.

Welcome any comments and suggestions  .

First off, thanks for all your hard work!
I boot up, and log in, but what next?
I'm at pine64@pine64:">

I apologize, but I'm a real newbie.

it appears the desktop did not start for some reason. try entering

reboot

and see if it starts at next boot

There is no desktop environment installed in my images in order to reduce the size of the image.

If you want to install a desktop, you can run the pine64-config tool and select "Install a Desktop Environment", then follow the instructions.

yeah, i remember that now. i did the setup process for the image back in november. damn, being old sucks.

[davidlt]

I was unable to run pine64-config so I searched and discovered I first need to run "sudo ./install.sh" but it said 'command not found'.
Neither https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1855 nor https://github.com/Terra854/build-pine64-image provided detailed instructions for a newbie.

Do I need to download and write something else to the sd card? I'm not even at a point where I can use the wifi.

Thanks, David

try to change directory to usr/local/sbin

cd /usr/local/sbin

and then do

ls -l

and see if those scripts are in that directory , if so try running them again

[davidlt]

Thanks.
I changed the directory and now I see pine64-config, but it didn't run. I'm thinking I need to run "sudo ./install.sh" but that didn't work from that directory.

[dkryder]

perhaps you need to set permissions on that file to make it executable. right click on file , select permissioms tab, if box to make file executable is unchecked, check it. if it is checked then i'm stumped on what is next.
