Known bugs and Workarounds

Do note that you will not be able to use a desktop environment on Fedora at the moment as once you install it, the screen will freeze out on boot (you can still be able to ssh into the Pine if this happens). I am currently working on a fix for it, but at the moment, please do not install a GUI.

If you can come out with a fix for any problems whether or not they are listed here or if you found new bugs, post them on this thread so that I will be able to patch the image and the entire community will benefit.

Thanks, I will try out.

Great, I will give it try with my Pine64.

Besides, with updates from Armbian 5.20 to 5.22 fails, I don't have a working system for Pine64 anyway.

Thanks,

Nice work. I'm playing around with it now.
Things I've noticed:
*) The ethernet interface takes about two minutes after booting to become active/usable. My first order of business was to install 'net-tools' so I could more easily look at network stuff (i.e. ifconfig).
*) I poked around and located some Pine64-related scripts in: /usr/local/sbin. I have successfully used resize_rootfs.sh to be able to access the full size of my SD card.
*) The update scripts (pine64_update_uboot.sh and pine64_update_kernel.sh) both report: Version latest not found.
Edit: Correcting the date/time (with ntpdate) has made the update_kernel script work. I also had to install gpg. I'm now on a newer kernel than was distributed with this image.
