(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)
I was hoping to use my Pine64 to control my hobby CNC machine. It connects via a USB cable, but actually is an old serial connection. As best as I can tell, I need CDC support in order to communicate with the CNC machine's controller; specifically cdc-acm. When I run modprobe, I get the following:

sudo modprobe cdc-acm
modprobe: FATAL: Module cdc-acm not found in directory /lib/modules/3.10.65-4-pine64-longsleep

I would like to humbly request that cdc-acm be added to a future release, please?
I have the 2GB board and using the latest image, and I'm powering the unit with a brand new 2 amp power supply, but I can't seem to get anything working at all.

I only have a 720p TV, so that may be part of my problem, but I either get an error on my TV about an incompatible signal or nothing at all.  I know the unit is booting up, because it receives an IP address and I can ping it, but it refuses connection on all ports I've tried.  Browsing through this thread, it looks like an SSH server may or may not be included in the image.  If it's not, could it be?  It would be very helpful for headless configuration right from the start.

I also tried the Android image from the downloads page, but I still couldn't get anything to come up on the screen when I booted it up.  I'm not sure I waited long enough, but it also didn't appear to receive an IP address from my router when I booted up that way.

I'm going to try to find a 1080p TV I can connect to and try booting up like that, but if that doesn't work I'm ready to give up on this board.

Edit:

I tried connecting up to my 720p TV again and booting it up.  This time I was able to SSH into the system, so now I can actually see that it's working and get started setting it up like I had planned.  Still don't get anything to display on the TV, but this will be a headless server, so no video is more of an annoyance than a major issue.  I may read back through this thread at some point to see if I can figure out how to get video working, but as for now I'll just run with having a working server with SSH.

Added cifs in https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6...33ef984ae2 - will be in the next release.

Got the latest kernel, see cifs is now included, thanks a million!  Big Grin

Have a look at this post: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=293

Essentially:

Code:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh)

Thank you! I'll take a look.
I see that there is a known problem with Firefox, or at least was. Does it still exist? I ask because my install is stable but I need a working browser. If not Firefox anything that works will do. Scanning the forums I have not found a solution, ideas?
Please how to set 4K HDMI video output ?

On page 10 of this thread, Luke mentioned using Midori (sudo apt-get install midorias an alternate browser.  It has worked for my needs, though it has locked up on a few webpages for me.

I ran those commands, apparently successfully, and rebooted. But the problem is still there. I simply don't have cifs installed in 
```` /lib/modules/3.10.65-4-pine64-longsleep/kernel/fs````

I'm just trying to mount a network drive -- I can see the drive on the network -- just can't mount it.
So, I still get the original error. Any other approaches I might take? (without just reflashing...)
