PicUntu-4.5-nand-BasicGUI installer - One file, few click install.

[Scooberdanje]

Oi

I've registered to Freaktab just because of this thread. I've been following this forum intensely since the release of the Tronsmart t428...

This is a hefty work you do guys, and I wish to (by this post) try to reach out to YOU that's working on this. Thanks, i mean it. I'm not a programmer that's testing out every version/kernel/patch/flash that comes out but since i'm very curious about the develpoment i'm glad for the work you do.

Anyone test this on Tronsmart T428? I'm close to try but since i'm using spotify while listening to music with my daughter i can't really talk myself into rooting just yet.

Peace! / have a great day/night/whatever / Scooberdanje

I had installed the PicUntu-4.5 to my Ugoos UT1, but the linux system can't get my network. No ethernet, no wifi. And I try to play the video file, all of them said no codec. How can fix it ? How can I install the VLC to it, where can get the arm version of vlc .

Thanks.

Hello everybody,

I'm a programmer and have some knowledge in linux. I found out about LXC and have a question for you, would it be possible to get the Picuntu version compatible with LXC? http://lxc.teegra.net/#_kernel_setup I have tried to compile such kernel for my GK802, but either the stick does not load, or no network is left. I have too little knowledge about the kernel and low level linux.

If it would be possible to get such picuntu version, I am willing to buy either T428 or MK802IV. Just let me know if it is possible.

Grr... that was the SD one...

Get the config file here picuntu-4.5-MK802IV-AP6210-NAND-1080p.config

It is far more convenient to enable the /proc/config - shall be fixed in the next release...

and where to get initramfs-3.0.36+.cpio
???

Compile or 720p, and:
./arch/arm/mach-rk3188/board-rk3188-box.c

        //{.frequency = 312 * 1000,       .index = 900 * 1000},       
       {.frequency = 504 * 1000,       .index = 925 * 1000},
        {.frequency = 816 * 1000,       .index = 1000 * 1000},
        {.frequency = 1008 * 1000,      .index = 1075 * 1000},
        {.frequency = 1200 * 1000,      .index = 1150 * 1000},
        {.frequency = 1416 * 1000,      .index = 1250 * 1000},
        {.frequency = 1608 * 1000,      .index = 1350 * 1000},




    {.frequency = CPUFREQ_TABLE_END},
};


static struct cpufreq_frequency_table dvfs_gpu_table[] = {
       //{.frequency = 133 * 1000,       .index = 975 * 1000},
       //{.frequency = 150 * 1000,       .index = 975 * 1000},
       {.frequency = 200 * 1000,       .index = 1000 * 1000},  
       {.frequency = 266 * 1000,       .index = 1025 * 1000},  
       {.frequency = 300 * 1000,       .index = 1050 * 1000},  
       {.frequency = 400 * 1000,       .index = 1100 * 1000},
       {.frequency = 600 * 1000,       .index = 1250 * 1000},
    {.frequency = CPUFREQ_TABLE_END},
};


static struct cpufreq_frequency_table dvfs_ddr_table[] = {
    //{.frequency = 200 * 1000 + DDR_FREQ_SUSPEND,    .index = 950 * 1000},

    {.frequency = CPUFREQ_TABLE_END},
};

Hi, Alok

Are you sure rk3188_picuntu-4.4-MK802IV-AP6210_defconfig is the one you used to build the picuntu 4.5 kernel? At least the CONFIG_CMDLINE is not for NAND. I tried it and also tried tweak it with the mtdparts matching parameter file, but the kernels I built won't light up the monitor so I can't tell what's the problem. If you can share the exact config when you build 4.5 kernel, that will be awesome.

Thank you.

Grr... that was the SD one...

I got the 8188eu.ko file from mmm123's sd/usb package in this thread.

I'm able to insmod it, and it seems to work just fine, almost. The wlan0 device appears and I'm able to scan for networks. I am however not able to connect to anything. Even tried turning off the encryption on my router, and still no luck. Also tried manually instead of using wicd, and the result is the same...

Any advice? If you need any logs or outputs, let me know.

//snark

Hmm... that is very strange...
Here are the steps you need to do in command line, (assuming there is no encryption)

iwconfig
ifconfig wlan0
iwconfig wlan essid "NAME OF YOUR ACCESPOINT"
dhclient wlan0

This should get you the network.

Wicd - actually works very well... if you are able to scan the network and see the various networks,, it _SHOULD_ work. As you have done before - please try with wicd - WITHOUT encryption - once you test it out - you can get back to encryption.

Great work like always, you guys got a real minipc, working in linux, if one day,we got hardware video aceleration, it will be perfect.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks

And I think that this is not for very advanced Linux users, yes, sometimes can be hard to configure, but thanks to the support from the people, and the precise instructions (some users apologize about fails and they can't read carefully a few posts) it can be done.
If a user want a ready to work out of box device, pay for it. Thanks to people like picuntu team and others we got great functionality in this cheaps devices, it can be improved, and they do it in each version, but please try to thank them for the hard work they do.

It will, which is why after you have done your settings and made peace with fbset, put an entry in /etc/rc.local

Sorry, my GURU - but you should be write in the notify - "FOR ONLY V.A.L.U.!" (Very.Advanced.Linux.Users) - not for all...

[snark]

It would not connect, its not meant for the rtl818eu device.

You should be able to use the 8188eu.ko files from the 4.4 distribtution on this as well.

Let me see, if I can get you the 8188eu.ko file...

Waiting for 8188eu.ko file....

My Great man!

As I know - fbset will be RESET after reboot - not right?

[adeptus]

you need to use fbset commands to do that

[narcois]

is planning a version for rk3066 (as mk808)?
thanks.

[aloksinha2001]

The main: How to change the screen resolution???
The second: How to change Desktop Manager (f.ex. to KDE)?

Desktop resolution - at this point of time, you cannot change from the drop down... you need to use fbset commands to do that. This needs to be done using command line

You can install KDE using this at command line... or use synaptic package manager to search and install kubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (it should download around 340+MB of files) and use an additional 1Gig of your space.


I have not tested this.. but should work... Gnome does not work on this device, on 13.04, due to conflict of Unity with hardware accel.

Let us know how it goes...
