  1. Hello everyone.

    I have installed the Armbian Xenial Multimedia and desktop usage scenarios on my orange pi pc plus.

    Setup user and new password successfully. By using the command armbian-config I have solved my keyboard issue and language. Also network Lan0 is ok

    By typing sudo apt-get update and upgrade my orange is now updated succefully. 

    But how to start the desktop ? 

    I can only see the black screen with prompt command.

    If I reboot it , after all  [ok] ...... I read 

    Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS orangepipcplus tty1

    login ......

     

    Did I do some mistakes? 

     

  2. I'm trying with  usb dongle realtek 802.11n WLAN NIC .

    On the top of the desktop I open the Network Manager 

    The list shows to me the two wifi network as client ready to connect to locals wifi nets 

    I do 

    1- Create new wi.fi network 

    2- The window shows me the wi-fi adapter  Realtek 802.11n WLAN NIC , it means exist

    3- Network name   " myWifi"

    4- wi.fi security  WEP 128 bit passphrase

    5- Key  "Mypassword12345"

    6- I push the button create  

    I get an error window 

    Connection failure 
    Failed to add new connection 
    (1) Insufficient privileges 
    

    Wha t I have to do , give some permission to some files ? 

  3. follow the martinayotte link

    It's the same I have used several months ago.

    Pratically the original library was written for raspberry pi .

    The library has an Arduino style , I mean for the name of the functions provided by it .

    Working with the I2C function you will find also something for the LCD in I2C

    If not you can arrange the orginal arduino Liquid_Cristal_I2C starting from the I2C native functione included in the wiringOP

    ciao 

  4. I'm trying the new version of armbian for orange pi plus 2 .

    Is there some news to create an access point ?  

    I saw there are some files and other files not 

    Does someone could link to me some tutorial for the access point?   

    I have several usb dongle wifi and wifi on chip 

    After a lot of web sites I visited I'm not able to create an access point 

    thanks 

     

  5. Several months ago I was able to run AP on orange pi with armbian 5_10 , I followed the Igor ....

    The GPIO managed with WiringOP was for me excellent , my application runs a tcp server with several threads in C++ and other app in java for android was perfect to exchange continouslt datas between two systems. Sometimes when start orange pi some troubles but more or less was good .

    I cannot say it was stable and was not a commercial application . This week doesn't work and I have tried to use armbian 5_20 with onboard wifi and a couples of usb dongles wifi , but nothing .

    This week , I'm in holiday and i'd like to do something . The project is based on orange pi and android smart phone .Is a complex home building automation the project , low cost. I have also to design several cards for digital and analog I/O's .

    In this condition , time short and orange pi not stable I'm thinking to port the project to raspberry pi mod 3 .

    I saw a project called unipi which provides a raspy + I/O card , I can use it as HW  + SW  platform 

    To have an AP allows me to develop tcp client-server technologies or web server . I have already installed apache2+phpmyadmin+mysql and php .

    I use the web server for other functions in my application .

    The problem is just the wifi , for the rest I'm satisfayed of armbian and orange pi HW.

    I think , before change hw , is better to try to install 8188eu driver and test .....but as Igor told me few days ago , in the armbian 5_20 some files are lost such as hostapd.conf  or  wpa_supplicant and I found some differences that I'm not able to solve .

    If someone is interested we can develop the system togheter 

  6. pratically the projects are very low prices ....this is because I'm choosing the orange pi 

    Anyway , it's a sin because the orange pi are very powerfull with ram , emmc and else 

    I will follow the tutorial where explains how to install the driver 8188eu .....

  7. ok  ....

    Can yo suggest me some of these  boards that fancy mPCI slot ? 

    I'm also looking for a couple of books to learn better linux based system for example 

    "Embedded Linux Primer - A Practical Real-World Approach, 2Nd Edition "  or

    "How Linux Works, 2nd Edition "   and  

    "Understanding Linux Network Internals "  or 

    "Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition" 

    Do you think is enaugh to start ?

    Tnx !

  8. I tryied but nothing , I'm also testing with a couple of usb dongle 

    Now I want to format the SD card again and try this tutorial with orange pi pc and orange pi plus 2 

    The wifi is a big misterious with orange but wifi is one of the most important feature for the actual technologies

  9. Hy Igor 

    I have created the file and copied into it , reboot but nothing 

    The last version of armbian 5_10 isn't stable ....pratically with orange pi plus 2 is impossibile to get an AP .

    Maybe better to change on raspberry 3 ?  

    After 8 months ?im not sure with orange and I don't want to invest money in this way because it will be a sure failure , I don't know what ever to do ....

  10. I have installed armbian 5_20 and I'm following the same procedures as above but the file hostapd.conf  doesn't exist any more ....I don't know what to do ....

    Is armbian 5_20 modified and that file is somewhere ?  

    I have installed also the igor patch as I explain in the previous post but nothing .... 

  11. hello guys !

    Today I have installed the armbian 5_20 desktop on my orange pi plus 2 

    Nice ! 

    The network is working by setting the /etc/network/interfaces 

    The lan0 is connected to the router by using a static IP address 

    The wlan0 is also setted with a statis IP address 

    The update & upgrade operations are done .

    Now I want to start an access point and I have tryied with the last configuration I used with armbian 5_10 but it doesn't work 

    I have wi-fi module built-in and antenna .

    I think that many things are changed with tihs armbian 5_20 

    Does someone know which files to manipulate and how to start an access point ? 

    Thanks and happy new year !!!

  12. hello everyone ! 

    I'm trying to listen music with my orange pi over armbian of course. 

    I have installed VLC and it seems works but not sound .

    I use the 3,5mm output connected to the amplifier 

    At the moment no sound and no music ....

    Does anyone know what I have to do ?

    Thanks in advanced 

    Walter

  13. hello guys !

    I'm working with armbian 5_14 and orange pi plus 2 .

    I'm using the only eMMC and I'd like to make a backup to an SD card 

    What is the best way to do that?

    Thanks and ciao 

    Walter

  14. ok thanks !   ;)

     

    today I have installed the armbian into eMMC by using the command  nand-sata-install 

    That's a BOMB now !!! 

    Access Point also is a bomb ....just a little problem ... if I click on the top-right of the desktop, you know  thare  the clock , network info , name ..if I click on  the network automatically open wicd and then reboot , maybe crash I don't know why , but anyways I don't touch it anymore
