CuBox i4 Pro // UltraWide Screen / Wlan-Performance/ Desktop


Ben_der

Question

Hi there !

 

Quite nooby again - about 10 years off from the deb-world - i beg for patience.

 

Actually three issues:

 

1. Ultrawide Screens : 2560x1080 @60 (LG 25UW) via HDMI.

Got it working on Raspbery (Overclock cpu+GPU/ mod of PixelPipe/ Mem of GPU)

 

How to achieve this on Armbian Wheezy od trusty Desktop ?

boot.cmd is ignored (already tried to mkimage it to

/boot/boot.scr 

2. Wlan Performance

 

Wlan performance unter Wheezy was quite Poor , known issue ??

security.debian.org  -  gpg-errors with repo - that was funny enough to get started with..

 

3. Tried Armbian trusty Desktop.

Loads. No Desktop.No Start X?

How to get rid of this Prob ? (Whats the magic ignition spell? ;)  )

 

I Get following message from Start X:

 

Segmentation Fault at adress 0x0

Fatal Server Error

Caught Signal 11 (Segmentation Fault). Server aborting.

xinit: giving up

 

(Update/Upgrade is done..)

 

Thanks so far !

 

(Off to get a Wlan-Lan-Bridge for the boot-purposes)

 

To get a better view of my expectations: Lightweight desktop replacement like LXDM of xfce.Formfactor of Hardware ist very appealing.

Install (and forget) for working with it - not for working at it.

Raspberry Pi2 with raspbian is quite good but weak perf for webinars and so on.

There is one mistery regarding desktop. Ubuntu is currently having this issue on imx boards. I can say that this problem is present on all but it's clearly not working on Cubox, HB and Udoo as well.

 

I build Trusty by mistake. Pick wheezy desktop, issue upgrade and you will be fine.

 

WLAN is as is. Chipset / driver was never brought to perfection. It's working quite stable but performance is not the best.

 

For wide screen I don't have any clue but I send an request to people who might know.

 

There are no video acceleration on desktop but overall desktop performances are very good, the best among boards that are covered by Armbian. Especially Humminboard PRO where you can add SSD.

Thanks so Far !

 

Started with the 2.6 Image - Dist-Upraded and then put LXDE on it.Resolution is nw  fixed as described above .Works like a charm !

 

Also already Swapped it to a E-SATA 32GB DOM.

 

Logical consequence now: Ordered the 4x4, too! ;)
