  1. Word to the wise: Firefox maxes out the RAM and WILL freeze your Pi. Midori runs GREAT though!
  2. DUDE! Bad@$$! Thanks! I'll try it out tonight! I'm still curious why the other one didn't work, though. I would like to improve my knowledge on these things. Was there something I could have done to fix it, or was the issue so integral to the build that I would have literally had to rebuild it from the ground up like you did?
  3. No dice. Tried a fresh flash of the OS and xfce. Same thing. Very frustrating!
  4. I understand I'm working with an experimental build...just breaking stuff to learn... Is Xwindows a complete no-go on the current Xenial build? What have you done to get X to load? I installed using the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade {at this point I had to do some finagling to get wlan0 to work again...thanks again @martinayotte!} sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-core sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg sudo aptitude install xorg openbox sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop After the install, I ran "startx" and it bombed. xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Attaching Xorg.0.log for reference. I'm still unfamiliar with the eccentricities of X, so please forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance! Xorg.0.log
  5. Oh, now THIS is bizarre! So, I told you I got it working with the reflash. Well, that was temporary. After transferring back to the EMMC, I opened /etc/network/interfaces to configure my network. I uncommented the line "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" and rebooted. wlan0 was gone! I opened interfaces and re-commented that line, then rebooted...and poof! It was back! I copied the ap6212 firmware over the brcm firmware like @martinayotte suggested, but wlan0 still is gone. So....I commented out the entire interfaces file except for the lo lines at the end and tried configuring the wireless using nmtui. That worked! Bizarro-world. Any idea of what could CAUSE that?
  6. Is there a preference of file system for formatting EMMC? I've been using ext4, but I wasn't sure if there was a better one, performance-wise, to use on that type of flash.
  7. @DEHN.IO Thank you! Re-flashing to that release worked like a charm! wlan0 is back! I'll save a copy off of those firmware files like you suggest, @martinayotte, just in case I need them later. I'm sure I'll break something else later!
  8. Interestingly enough, plugging in a USB Wifi card worked fine. I feel like something may have gotten jacked with the firmware after the upgrade.
  9. I did do an apt-get update/upgrade just before moving to the EMMC, so this may have been coincidence. I'll try re-flashing the image this weekend and see if that works. I'm just playing around with it at this point...
  10. Hello, all! I have a related problem. I'm running the Ubuntu Xenial image running on an H5 board, and everything was running fine initially from SD, but I just moved my install to EMMC and now the wlan0 device is gone. If I look at ip link, the only thing I have is lo. I have been Googling around for a bit and I just can't see how to get my wlan0 back. I tried switching my "allow-hotplug wlan0" to "auto wlan0" like lo is set up. That didn't work either. It's like the device itself was disabled during the copy process. I know the H5 is an "experimental" board. It's not my main sbc. However, it is one I'd like to get running to play with. Even booting off SD card, I'm still getting no wlan0 now. I have no idea what I did. Any ideas?
