First, I want to thank longsleep for all the work put into this image. I have successfully flashed my SD card with kernel 3.10.65-4-pine64-longsleep-16 and I can boot up on my 2GB Pine64 board. I am excited to see if this board will be able to replace my full Windows PC as my hobby CNC CAM machine.
Following janjwerner's post, I was able to get xubuntu installed and now I have a nice GUI on the Pine64; thanks for that.
The only issue that I have left to figure out is the power button. If I use the 'shutdown' menu item in xubuntu, the Pine64 board properly logs out and powers off (the red power LED turns off). However, I can't turn my board back on using the power button. If I press the power button on the board (I am shorting the through holes with a wire at the moment), the red power LED turns on for a few seconds, and then turns off again. My HDMI display never shows anything. I can do this any number of times, and I get the same results; red power LED turns on for a few seconds and then turns off. The only way that I am able to get the Pine64 board to boot again is to physically unplug the 2A power supply from the wall and then plug it back in. When I plug the power supply back into the wall, the board powers up on its own (I don't have to press the power button).
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something that I need to do differently to get the power button to work (like do I have to press it and hold it for 5 seconds)? I would really like to use the power button instead of unplugging it from the wall each time I want to boot. Sorry if this is the wrong thread; I wasn't sure if it was related to the ubuntu image and its power management, or if it is a board issue.
