C4 Labs Pine 64 Cases (Standard & LCD)
#49
Exclamation 
OK - my C4 case got delivered to work on Friday (I didn't go in to the office that day) so I've just assembled it and got Pine64+ 2GB running hooked up to a Motorola Lapdock on my desk at work.

No holes for power-switches - but I ran one outside via wire through the SD card slot connect to EXP 5/6...  So far so good with this case...

Mmmm - how do I upload pictures to this forum?  Or do I have to host them somewhere else myself?  

WTF?  Seriously you guys (Pine forum people) expect me to host images myself?  

Never mind - I'm not inclined to go off and find a photo hosting provider - yeah I know there's plenty out there, I think I've still got a photobucket (or whatever it calls itself these days) account and deviant art, maybe even flickr and picasa...    but I just can't be arsed...

I just can't believe in this day and age a forum doesn't have a feature to upload inline images to forum posts!  (I know plenty of other forums that do!)

---  so without pictures ---

I've gone back to the Debian XFCE Longsleep build...  So one Pine running a "desktop", will keep my other pine on ethernet and headless running Armbian "vanilla"...  Anyway - seems to run alright - it's actually quite "snappy" - few little niggly things/annoyances.  

Annoyances :
a) Can't get Synergy to install on it, and really can't be bothered to get to the bottom of why - or setup a build environment to build it from source.

b) Can't get it to run 1366x768 on the lapdock [defaults to 1280x720].  Does anyone know if there's (yeah I guess this is off topic) a "mode" for 1366x768 like "720p_60"?  1366x768 is a fairly "common" mode, and my CHIP board and my BananaPI running Armbian "know" about it on the Lapdock (i.e. they just come up at that resolution - "plug and play").

c) Batteries!  Still cannot get Pine to run off a battery!  I've tried wiring in a 10 K resistor to the middle pin.  I've hooked up a 3 pole LiPo battery to Pine.  If I try to power up Pine from battery, the LED will come on, stay on / flash, for a number of seconds (between 30-90 - I didn't have stopwatch) then shutoff...  Running on the Lapdock, the Lapdock provides power to the Pine - except if you close the lid!  The closest I've come to any sort of "success" - is being able to close the Lapdock lid while Pine's got a battery connected, then open it again...
