How to connect to laptop

I might be asking a foolish question:
I would like to flash my RIKO-MK802IV android to Picuntu, but I don't know how to connect the device to my windows laptop in order to flash it.
Do I have to plug the hdmi port in a TV so I am able to see what's going on and connect it via USB to my laptop?
Please, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks ejumbo! I managed to find a prior post where you link http://scarygliders.net/2013/07/25/x...-now-released/ this site. Where I use

[B]git clone https://github.com/scarygliders/X11RDP-o-Matic.git[/B]

Then CD to the X11rdp folder it creates and run the examples on the site..

How will this help me though as it seems to be for remote desktop usage.. I'm just trying to get the correct resolution of 1366x768 on my Lapdock by directly plugging in my MK802IV to the hdmi and usb plugs on the unit. I'm also assuming this will eat up some processing power, so I'm not sure this is the best solution. I know it can be done! Where is Galland or Alok, or the other creators of picuntu, I know they know how to do what I'm asking as I have seen them address the issue for other people, but the "language" they use is way above my head and I can't seem to do what they are saying..

If they are not monitoring this thread then send them a private message. Keep the rest of us up to date, though.

The best I have done is to get xrdp compiled and installed on picuntu. This allows for remote desktop to work at any resolution. There are plenty of instructions on how to do his uplink and referred links from me. Hope this is not too vague.

Does anyone know how I can get MK802IV to work with 1366x768 Resolution (Lapdock display) with Picuntu?

I'm super frustrated from reading thread after thread with no results. I'm not a linux master.. I have read some many threads where people get it to work, but how they did it is a complete mystery. I'm looking for, get X kernel, flash with RKtools1.37 and picuntu, enter X into Terminal, etc, etc, done. Please do not bother to reply if your going to be extremely vague, I will not be able to connect the dots. (No offense to anyone, I just am tired of reading "how to's" with no steps.)

Thanks to anyone who replys!

I'm sorry but my English is poor and I do not understand what you wrote. I installed PiUntu 4.5 on minix x7 and the installation process was normal with no errors. The system is only Picuntu not dual boot.

PicUntu runs properly. Then there's the problem. Every now and then the screen goes black and then returns to the desktop PicUntu.
What 5-10 sec. screen changes black-desktop PicUntu.Thus 'all the time.

I installed PicUntu on Minix x7 and have a question.
What I have 5-10 seconds a black screen and then returns to the desktop PicUntu.
It is very cumbersome.

You also have a full operating system running on an Arm chip.

If you want instant-on go back to Android?

WiFi not obtaining IP on MK908

I have an MK908v3 from June, and I used Goldenfly's mk908 instructions to get it running, but wifi isn't working. I've loaded the module, and Wicd can scan for networks, but when I try to connect to an unsecured network, it goes through a bunch of steps, but hangs on 'Obtaining IP Address' Before saying it is unable to get one.

I've also tried various combinations of command line ways with no success. 'dhclient' doesn't appear to do exit and gives no output. Also, /etc/network/interfaces only defines 'lo' and 'eth0', does this only matter for manual configurations?

'sudo iwconfig' shows 'lo' 'sit0' 'ip6tn10' 'p2p0' and 'wlan0'

Any ideas? Are there any log files I can check to see whats going on?

[ejumbo]

I dittoed on your XBMC procedure with the same outcome. I even tried downloading the missing lib depends to compile, but was not successful.

Now I have the same install from Synaptic and a black screen too. The nearest I can tell is that it has something to do with resolution, but I have no answer.

XBMC - Will it work with PicUntu 4.5

Just installed Picunto 4.5 on Rk802Iv - just doesn't get any easier than that. I did learn the hard way (five hours research & testing) don't follow XBMC install instructions of the net for this particular build for you will end up getting dependencies errors- just install thru Synaptic Package Manager too easy. So I got XBMC installed without errors however I get a black screen on XBMC startup, XBMC home does not appear. Mouse cursor moves however system is hard locked. Will XBMC work even thou there is no NO Mali 400 drivers available?

Thanks for the comprehensive response!
Well I don't know what went wrong but my wifi didn't work after the compiler/installer so I guess something went awry?

A reinstall is pretty quick to do so I may just give it a shot then see if my wifi is still intact.
If not then I'll follow your steps to getting my MK802iV on-line.

Thanks again for your help, I'll read the second link you gave me first as well ;-)

Cheers

You don't want to completely uninstall xrdp, just remove the program and leave the config (as described in Kevin's earlier post).

This is not something you run and forget about. You need to read the log and work out the errors. It will take a number of runs. You must enable src repositories, also.
Reinstalling seems too drastic and yes, I ran 'justdoit'. I remember that there were warnings at the end, but the deb files were created.

After successfully installed this is what I had to do. (Again, much of this is from Kevin's earlier posts.)

a)
sudo su -
cd /etc/xrdp
mv startwm.sh startwm.sh.BACKUP
ln -s /etc/X11/Xsession /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
b) For each user:
echo “startxfce4” > ~/.xsession
chmod u+x .xsession
c) Add each user to the netdev group
sudo gpasswd -a <username> netdev
restart the system
d) Create ~/.Xresources and add the following:
! Use a nice truetype font and size by default...
xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono Book
xterm*faceSize: 11
! Every shell is a login shell by default (for inclusion of all necessary environment variables)
xterm*loginshell: true
! I like a LOT of scrollback...
xterm*savelines: 16384
! double-click to select whole URLs
xterm*charClass: 33:48,36-47:48,58-59:48,61:48,63-64:48,95:48,126:48

Thanks for those links my friend
I gave that first link a go with --justdoit and left it compiling overnight...
I remembered to uninstall xrdp first
Came down this morning and there was a an error, something like Dir_lib not found or something?
Tried rebooting but no wifi so couldn't post the log.
I'll reinstall Picuntu from scratch and re-run that first link to see if it was something i inadvertently did whilst messing.
Did you 'justdoit' or did you go through the config?
Thanks again for the links... gives me hope!
