(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)

[falk.ben@gmail.com]

Getting an error when booting this.  

[VFE_ERR Error] registering v412 subdevice No such device!
[VFE_ERR Error] vfe sensor register check error at input_num = 0

It just hangs here and I cannot log in:

I can boot your arch image just fine.  I've only tried the latest: 20160320

Update - takes a while (a few minutes waiting after getting to "Started Journal Service." but I can get to a login screen with the older version 20160306)

Looks like i screwed something up.

Nothing screwed up. I assume you have not plugged network. The Ubuntu image comes with eth0 DHCP preconfigured and waits 5 minutes until it gives up connecting.

Code:

root@localhost:~# systemd-analyze blame        
      5min 858ms networking.service
          2.790s dev-mmcblk0p2.device
           634ms systemd-udev-trigger.service
           630ms resolvconf.service
           547ms sys-kernel-debug.mount
           478ms systemd-logind.service
           461ms kmod-static-nodes.service
           456ms systemd-remount-fs.service
           421ms ondemand.service
           387ms eth0-mackeeper.service
           374ms systemd-modules-load.service
           368ms systemd-user-sessions.service
           346ms dev-hugepages.mount
           309ms systemd-journald.service
           241ms systemd-journal-flush.service
           171ms systemd-sysctl.service
           165ms dev-mqueue.mount
           158ms systemd-random-seed.service
           155ms sys-kernel-config.mount
           133ms rsyslog.service
           126ms sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount
           121ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
            99ms console-setup.service
            98ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service
            91ms systemd-timesyncd.service
            80ms systemd-udevd.service
            80ms systemd-fsck@dev-mmcblk0p1.service
            67ms systemd-rfkill.service
            31ms systemd-update-utmp.service
            28ms boot.mount
            17ms systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service
            10ms rc-local.service

So either plug Ethernet, or remove the configuration from /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0

Also note that the UART tty will not wait on networking by default in this image.

I just want to say thank you longsleep for your work on this. I'm excited to have a Debian-based OS for my Pine, it makes tinkering much more fun. I don't have to think much about the underlying OS, I just do what I want and it just works.

Thanks for your hard work.
If it wasn't for the lack of 2D/3D acceleration, if would get one of these right now and load it with your image!

FYI:

I've created an How-to on my blog which explain, step by step, how to install ubuntu 16.04 provided by longsleep.

http://blog.antani.co/pine64-install-ubu...04-xenial/

Please let me know if you want me to change something.

I am unable to access your blog.

Can you include your instructions on the Pine64 forums for all to see?

It looks like his server is hammered, or unavailable at the moment. Google has it cached though:

Additionally, it's a really simple process.

For Windows, you can do the following:

1. Download the IMG file provided by longsleep.
   
2. Download Win32DiskImager.
   
3. Extract the image you downloaded using a tool that can extract xz files, like 7zip.
   
4. Attach your SD card to the PC via a USB card reader or whatever.
   
5. Launch Win32DiskImager and select image file extracted in step 3.
   
6. Select the drive that corresponds to your SD card. Make sure you select the right disk at this point, or you can wipe out any secondary drives your system may have. It seems smart enough to keep you from destroying your Windows install though.
   
7. Click the write button and wait for it to complete. It will notify you when it's done.
   
8. Eject the SD card from the PC and put it in the Pine64, apply power and wait for Ubuntu to boot.
   
9. Login using user/password: ubuntu/ubuntu.
   
10. Success!

Thanks for the work on this linux image! I received my Pine64 2G today and, with ethernet unplugged, it boots up fine using the latest image.

However; if I boot up with ethernet plugged in (or plug it in once booted) I get a full on panic with the other cores getting unexpected / unhandled IRQs; I've attached a serial console log of a successful log-in followed by an ethernet plug-in.

Is there a bug? Or has my board got a fault?

Thanks

You probably use an insufficient PSU and have voltage drops - this can lead to all kind of crashes, freezes and errors.

Hi everyone. I am having problems booting into Ubuntu. I have identified the problem but don't know how to fix it. Pine 64 boots into ubuntu just fine (albeit slowly) without the ethernet attached. With ethernet connected, however, I get a bunch of code, which ends with : Cpu_reset_status = 0x11101103. next_cpu = 0x1 ; set cpu_reset_status = 0x11101103. ; next_cpu= 0x1 ; gicd_base = 0xffffff800000c000 ; gicc_base = 0xffffff800000e000. Help would be much appreciated. Cheers!

Hi Luke AKA Jagmn!

Didn't you read what longsleep recommended to you?
