bringing up bionic .44, no network

[gene83]

The pine64 installer works on a rock64? I haven't seen any notes to that effect.

Thanks & Cheers, gene83

Yeah, the forum shortens long urls, but you get the full link when you right click and copy link url/copy link address, or similar menu option.

The image evil bunny linked you to is an older one... 0.5.15, made by the pine64 guys.
And not as stable. An instant crash when amanda comes calling to back it up.

The pine64 installer doesn't run *on* the rock64 (Windows, Mac or Linux on a regular PC), but it supports making rock64 images.

But no one ever told me that. So its been pure hell trying to actually locate the file you so helpfully supplied. If the forum sw didn't muck it up. it would be a simple left click, followed by me telling the browser where to put it. To purposelky break an internet convention seems like it ought to be calkled broken and a bug filed against it.

Which is one of the reasons I don't like the forum as a means of communication, mailing lists beat a forum like a white mouthed mule. If a mailing list post is not something I am interested in, the expiry rules will wipe it in 2 weeks anyway. And except for typeing the answer if I can add to the thread constructively, is 2 steps on the keyboard, not 3 or 4 minutes of logging in and navigate back to the message I got an emailed notice about.

Palemoon remembers my login state, firefox doesn't, but the latest palemoon doesn't run well of wheezy. So I switched back and now logins are a pain.

Anyway, back on thread, I downloaded the 'stretch-minimal-rock64-0.6.44-239-arm64.img' which was in xz format, unxz'd it to the quoted file, installed it on a 32 GB u-sd, and rebooted it. It I believe it works, sorta. Somebody left the debug flags set, and I'm getting over a full 80 char line of tracing gibberish for every keypress. I did manage to get it to execute a sudo -i, and then an ifconfig -a, to see it had at least configured eth0 with an address I assume from avahi, its in the 169 block.

So first things 4th, how do I turn off the debugging so I can see what the heck I'm typing? Or is this fixed when it was built? I which case can it be rebuilt w/o that stuff?
