Closed leon-anavi closed 5 years ago

Hi,

@lazarh and I spent the whole day working on these scripts :) Finally we added option to successfully boot and build Ubuntu 18.04.2 for A64-Teres. Please, review the provided pull request.

The next step is to make another image with KDE Plasma on top of Ubuntu 18.04.2 for A64-Teres :)

Best regards, Leon

Does it have the video acceleration like in 16.04?

Hi @binutzu,

No, at least not by default yet. But it is on the roadmap for my spare time activities :)

I believe for bionic we should switch from ppa:longsleep/ubuntu-pine64-flavour-makers to ppa:ayufan/pine64-ppa. However the Ubuntu 18.04.2 is very basic - just boots to command prompt. The kernel is the same 3.10.104-teres as for Ubuntu 16.04 xenial. I guess after booting Ubuntu 18.04 you can execute something like to install the packages for video acceleration:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ayufan/pine64-ppa -y
sudo apt-get install -y xserver-xorg-video-armsoc-sunxi libmali-sunxi-utgard0-r6p0
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/master/package/root/usr/local/sbin/pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh
chmod +x pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh
sudo ./pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh

These are not exact steps. Further work is needed for this. I am also working on this and I will keep you updated with my progress. Btw link to the basic Ubuntu 18.04.2 image for A64-Teres is available at: https://pc.cd/zLRrtalK

Thanks, Leon
