If we cannot get ahold of the source code; we might be able to use the 
precompiled binaries from Android (the libvpu and dependent libs) and write a 
wrapper for video acceleration... maybe.
That could be hard to achieve, but it is doable I think.

Are we missing the VPU code from the kernel source? (I saw the config option 
for VPU; but I did not look for the source and did not try to compile it)

Appreciate the great work done here. Hope to get Wifi support for the MX1/MX2 
sticks soon.

Cheers.

Owl may need to change the permissions accordingly.

Kindly help with code review...

You need to only install the tgz in /usr/local/picuntu-da-server

and run the command

/usr/local/picuntu/picuntu-da-server

as deswcribed by topic.

Scrub (and maybe minimize) the root fs for delivery.

Among the mini pcs, I find the minix Neo G4 to be very well designed and hope 
can run PicUntu on it too.

Since its also based on RK3066, the only thing that need to be added are 
probably the device drivers.

The company Minix also seem very keen to work with the developers. 

And looking at the good support from Minix, I really look forward to being able 
to run a low powered and well designed mini pc on Linux.

In documentation I found "Installed both, 8188eu (for UG802) and bcm41081 (for 
MK808) modules" but internet does not know what is "bcm41081".

Digging I found here 
http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=212&start=330#p4259
 :
"About the BCM40181: it's an evolution of the BCM 4329/4330 but you won't find 
any datasheet for it.
So: RK901=BCM40181 (Wifi only) and RK903=BCM40183 (Wifi + Bluetooth)."

I have bought MK808 but received MK808B. Today used latest 
picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.1.tgz + ug802recovkernel.img and 'picuntu-da-server' 
configuration tool (of course I selected MK808 insead UG802). After finishing 
configuration and reboot lsmod shows that '8188eu.ko' is loaded (I guest there 
should be something like 'BCM40181'). Internal WiFi does not work :/.

Ok, I'm waiting for RK903=BCM40183 support.

Driver source missing in kernel? or just pieces.. I don't have the full 
picture. Please add more info to this issue.

Guys,

sorry that I'm writing here, please close this issue asap.

Since I don't have rights to post at www.slatedroid.com I have created Picuntu 
group http://groups.google.com/group/Picuntu. 

You all are owners.

Group is set to be 'web forum' like but you can of course change that to 'email 
list'.

Thank you:)

Getting irritating lines in my syslog.... can something be done to fix... 
checked the net on the possible cause, did not find any... 

Present on all the UG/MK devices - across version numbers...

What feature is required
Support for other display resolutions, there are many people without fullHD 
monitor, I personally have old 1280x1024@60 (16:10) monitor with DVI port (HDMI 
compatible) which I would like to use with MK808 as a desktop.

Describe what component of PicUntu needs to be changed
Some configuration file? It would be needed to find a working way how to set 
different resolutions succesfully.

What is the desired output
Way to set different resolutions, it would be good if it wouldnt include using 
another compatible monitor firstly to change to desired resolution.

Where do we find resources on the net, to include this feature
Unfortunately I have no idea.

Are there any references, links on the site that have discussions for this.
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41654-pre-alpha-03-ubuntu-linux-for-mk802-iii-ug
802-mk808-ug007-imito-mx1/page__st__260

I got a LevelOne usb-0501 usb/ethernet hub, but even though the correct module 
(smsc95xx) is loaded on MK802 III and ifconfig shows the usbnet0 device, it 
doesn't seem to receive an ip address. Sometimes I get a usbnet0: kevent 2 may 
have been dropped (also shown in dmesg). Googling that message suggests add 
external power, disabling turbo mode (smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N) or raise the 
vm.min_free_kbytes value in /etc/sysctl.conf. Nothing seems to help. Also tried 
a static ip, but also no luck.

I have tested the device on Mint Linux, Arch Linux, and Android on a ASUS 
Transformer TF300T, and all of them works out of the box, with no problems. 
They all got much newer kernels, so I guess something has changed since the 
3.0.8+ series.

Two issues reported by Virverus

1. When using sudo - pre-picuntu does not recognize absence of dialog, and 
keeps giving the error
2. When forcing text mode - even though, user selected "Not to format", the 
system went ahead with format into one large partition.

Boot-Picuntu

I don't know the status of the Mali400 drivers the Linaro team works on; but we 
should investigate.

I need this because, i use MK808b ordered from geekbuy, and the USB lan adapter 
was ordered from them too, this is the USB ethernet adapter they sold to this 
device. Thanks for your great works with picuntu:) Regards: Imre

Issue.net should carry the current release number.

You can guess the reason why I'm proposing this. :-(

Still not sure exactly what happened, but I think it was some combination of 
Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z to exit the script, and than switching to another window 
without checking what happened.

Luckily, testdisk helped to recover almost everything, but next user might not 
be so lucky.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Using the RK901 Internal WiFi
2.Leaving the device idle/unattended
3.No internet activity

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
WiFi Network is Disconnected, need to restart networking to connect again

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PicUntu 0.9 RC2.2 on MK808

Please provide any additional information below.

Not sure if this is a widespread problem, or just me.
But the WiFi has been disconnecting if I leave the device unattended/idle with 
no internet activity for a long period or a few hours(random)

I did a few tests and monitoring my connecting via iwconfig in terminal. I 
noticed that the Tx-Power fluctuates between 29 dBm and 32dBm randomly at 
times, so i'm speculating that maybe that may be the cause?

So I got a hunch and used the iwconfig txpower fixed command via terminal at 
the beginning of each linux bootup. 'iwconfig eth0 txpower 32 fixed'

So far so good, WiFi hasn't drop yet. Will keep on testing.

Enable full iptables 
enable bluetooth including bluetooth networking
thank you

I am no longer able to push up the sources, and followup with changes...

Till such time - the sources, directory will remain deprecated.

The line 202 should read.
/usr/bin/pdmenu -c /usr/local/picuntu/picuntu-top.pdm --menu=network_conf

Thanks for the catch.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Flash kernel into recovery
2. Reboot to recovery from Android
3. Reboot from Picuntu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Device should reboot into Android but instead it always reboot to Picuntu. I 
have to flash original recovery to reboot to Android.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using a MK808 with Finless 1.6. I tried RC2.2 kernel and RC3.

Please provide any additional information below.

After flashing original recovery, I get the "dead" Android on the screen. I 
manage to boot Android after unplugging and plugg
ing a few times.

What feature is required

-I just wonder if it is possible to write back (flash) final image to internal 
ROM from SD card, no need to use SD card to load OS (Ubuntu is now embedded).

Currently there is a support to RTL8188EUS and BCM40181 based wifi modules. It 
would be great to add the support to other wifi modules found in RK3066-based 
devices. Here one can find an association list smartTV model --- its wifi 
module:
http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/android-mini-pc/2537-mini-pc-benchmark-compariso
n-8-print.html

What feature is required
usb touchscreen driver

Describe what component of PicUntu needs to be changed
Adding generic or popular touchscreen driver to the kernel/OS (eGalax, 
Elotouch...)

What is the desired output
Allow user to interact via the touchscreen besides mouse and keyboard.

Where do we find resources on the net, to include this feature
http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm
http://elotouch.com/Support/Downloads/default.asp

Are there any references, links on the site that have discussions for this.

I would love to be able to use my UHost2 for this. It uses the same WiFi chip 
as the 808B (both have bluetooth as well...possibly the same device but in a 
different shell?).

Just wanted to put in my two cents.

I'd be happy to be a guinea pig for this if needed.

-Jordan

It is owned by ubuntu.ubuntu - need it to be root.

Ability to change to different screen resolution like 1024x768, 800x600

Is this targeting all rk3066-based mini PC devices or just specific ones? For 
example, is the SainSmart AK802  supported?

Branch name:

Purpose of code changes on this branch:


When reviewing my code changes, please focus on:


After the review, I'll merge this branch into:
/trunk

Create instalaltion script for android.

At the end of xfce4 install - the application exits with error

Due to the bug in blueman - bluetooth manager, the xfce4 archive does not 
install properly, what is worse, it breaks the Apt db.


Manual fix
  dpkg --configure -a
  apt-get remove blueman
  dpkg --configure -a

Will find a fix in the next bug-fix release

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run picuncu-da-server.sh
2.Select xfce and Java JDK
3. Proceed with the installation

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Installation gets stuck at "saned disabled  edit /etc/default/saned" line

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Picuntu 0.9 RC 2.2

Please support also this device:
http://www.focuswill.com/html_products/CoolShip-29.html

The script asks for the file
picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.2.tgz and wants to know its location. 

If this file is in the same directory than the script?
It should be detected automatically.

If picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.2.tgz is in a directory, 
lets say /root/Downloads:

The script should find 
/root/Downloads/picuntu-linuxroot-0.9-RC2.2.tgz
if this file exists, if the file is readable for user/group/others and
if the script is told to search in /root/Downloads.

The RC2 now asks to question over and over again ...

Wifi and Bluetooth modules for UG007 (Same as Imito MX1/2?)
Happy to help with documentation etc if needed.
Would be great to see support for this have installed Picuntu onto UG007 (into 
primary partition) and have it working with SD File system.  All working great 
except for above.

Team,

Please list here, the kernel modules required to be built and added.... in 
Picuntu 0.4

Alok

Please add the drivers and support for the MINIX X5 RK3066 box.  

The driver rk3066-kernel/drivers/scsi/sr.c needs to be included in the next 
build to
allow udev to automatically create the device /dev/srX (and therefore 
cdrom/cdrw/dvd) when an external USB optical device is attached.  As it is now, 
the devices are detected, but the corresponding /dev entries are not created 
(because no driver for them).

Dear team,

in current documentation (Wiki) I see that there will be possibility to choose 
between "Server install", "Desktop install" and "Development install".

Will it be possible to make not only one selection but two or three?

(For example I want to act like a server but I also want to write and compile 
programs, so "Server install"+"Development install".)

The New MK802 III has bluetooth module.

Would you please have full bluetooth function supported?

If there is anything I can help, please let me know.

Hello. I installed the picuntu 0.9 RC 2.2 on my UG-802.

When I boot to picuntu I do login  as root with password 12qwaszx.

How can I run the Power GUI desktop ?

When I initialized the picuntu I choose to install the xfce too.

Thanks in advance

It has a error were if you are log on over Ethernet with like putty about 24 
hours it will error and say it disconnected.

I posted about the fix here:

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/47738-if-i-have-putty-log-in-all-night-it-discon
nects/page__gopid__538698#entry538698

I hope you fix this in the next Picuntu.
