Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

faddat

loboris,

Have you been able to make any progress towards getting a (4.4) sunxi-next kernel booting?   Is there some collaboration hub for this work?  

Thanks!

Just got the news from zhao_steven, he would donate $1000 for anyone who could make the GPU and VPU drivers working on OPI-PC/OPI-PLUS. He also promised he will donate loboris $1000 next week for his hard work to the OrangePi community.
Those who contribute to make this communisty a better place will get his/her reward so to speak.

Just tried Kali. Orage won't let me change time zone. Wifi connects quicker/easier than last distros I tried. 480 resolution totally cures the monitor overscan problem but colors are HORRIBLE. Lol. System gets busy in background, one core goes to 100%, window slows way down. Stop all entry for minute and core slows back down and can continue without lag.

Does the latest ubuntu orange pi pc image also work on Plus? Great work loboris. Thank you

There is not much difference in performance between the distributions.
The differences/advantages  ...

I mean how fast the monitor let you see changes when you work in remote desktop (rdesktop)Fast is you see the new picture immediately  
Slow is the picture comes in steps.

Resize SD?
Fedora22_Mate boots ok and Internet works. (thanks to loboris)
But:

You have tu run the script as root
...$ su root
pass: orangepi
...# fs_resize

I haven't even try. It is far to much work, almost full time job, and I don't think the result would justify the efforts.

You can change the time zone running in terminal:

1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Copy code

480p resolution is intended for small LCD screens, if you have to use it on hdmi monitor, use the script.bin from latest scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz

Ubuntu Mate image for OPI-PC works on any board, but you have to manualy copy the right uImage and script.bin (from scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz).

The speed and quality of remote desktop depends mostly on speed of your network/Internet connection.
I'm always using x2go server/client, it has exelent performance and can be configured for slow Internet connection or fast LAN connection.
I think it is in Fedora repository, for other distros you have to use install_x2goserver script.

Please kindly ask @zhao_steven to write this on forum. We need more info about that.

Which error exactly?
I've tested it and there is no error:

On Orange Pi PC, I have got message:
