hey loboris

thanks for this contribution.

Downoad lichee.tar.gz from Mega, everything is there....

My first post on these forums.

First off I am excited to see folks like loboris actively working on getting these boards to their full potential on the software side.

At first I was a bit disappointed to see others complaining about lack of more developed software for this board, but since the board is new, and the price is low I am willing to deal with a few bumps in the road.

For $25, I am thrilled to see a quad core 1.6ghz cpu with 1gb of ram...

I'm pretty sure I will be installing the base vivid image onto my orange pi mini 2 once it arrives. (In the mail now). I am enticed by the low ram usage, as I want to use every last but of ram possible for my other application. I wont be using any GUI, I plan to only use SSH and other remote access as this orange pi will be used as a web server and mincraft server for me. This will be my first ARM SBC, I cant wait to play around with it. I have a little experience using x86 lunix vps servers, but thats about it for my lunix experience.  

I look forward to being a part of this community as I learn more.

Hello, lobris. I tried your build image with Orange Pi PC. I got only one USB port working, the other two USB ports won`t work, b.t.w. the OPI PC only has three USB ports. And I installed the LXDE desktop but got an dependency error shows below, but still works.

1. The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   
2. x2goagent : Depends:         nxagent (>= 2:3.5.0.32-0x2go1.1) but 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1.1 is to be installed

Any fix, dude? I attach below with the lxde_install log.

@jacer you have the "new" orange pi pc?
if yes, from where you buyed it?

Does your install-vivid.log (created after base install) has any errors?

Check you /etc/apt/sources.list, it must look like this:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ vivid-backports main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://debian.xypron.de/ unstable/all/
deb http://debian.xypron.de/ unstable/armhf/

Try to run:

1. apt-get clean
   
2. apt-get update
   
3. apt-get install -f
   
4. apt-get upgrade
   

Copy the Code

all packages should be installed without errors.

Where have you got Orange Pi PC, it probably have different fex, that's could be why USB ports are not working correctly.

The source list is same as yours. I didn`t check the install_vivid.log I used win32imagewriter to flash the image to TF card. And it boots to the console. Running the sudo install_lxde took me a night. And I found the logout button is not working too. I cannot even install Chromium-browser. B.t.w. I got Orange Pi PC from Zhao, I am in China, it is a beta board which I applied. It only has three USB ports and need some tweaking. I tried these commands below and none working. I flashed the official 0.9 version with Lubuntu 14.04 and it has Chromium builtin and it works. But still one USB port and the resolution cannot change. And the kill cpu3 issue is there with heatsink temp at 70.

1. apt-get clean
   
2. apt-get update
   
3. apt-get install -f
   
4. apt-get upgrade

Copy the Code

1. orangepi@orangepi:~$ nproc
   
2. 3
   
3. orangepi@orangepi:~$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
   
4. 0-2
   
5. orangepi@orangepi:~$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
   
6. 70
   
7. orangepi@orangepi:~$ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp
   
8. 70

@jacer
If you are in cina, probably the connections to the outside are not very reliable.
Thats why you have maybe broken packages.
I would adapt /etc/apt/sources.list and use some cinese mirror.
For the usb ports on the OP PI PC you need a different config.fex.

@fritz You are right. I noticed some connection timeout when downloading some package. I tried to use a command line version shadowsocks to finish the lxde desktop installation but it won`t run. There is no Chinese server to update these packages. Any idea how to solve this? I dunno how to config it for the other two USB ports. Maybe need new uImage boot0 uboot also.

You can download complete Mate or Xfce image from the Mega link in the 1st post. It is only 350M, it is less than you have to download when installing with script...
Installation of the LXDE desktop with the script should finish in about 30 minutes, Mate and XFCE in about 60 minutes ...
I'll build the kernel and u-boot when I'll have the config.fex for the board.

I think I will wait for Zhao to release an OPi PC version. I expect the GPU VPU working on Linux.
