@Survive-PI  make sure you have internet connectivity.

Post the result of "ifconfig"

No emmc...

Down to one sd card now. Of 3 I had, only 2 worked with orange pi. one of them locked up the other day.
Any way to forcibly reformat? Windows unable to format, SDFormatter unable to format. Both think it is locked... Tried format button on my camera...no luck. Trash?Could it be same problem with emmc?
Switching back to openSuse for now.

@survive-pi:  You need to solve the intermittent ping failure issue.  You are going to get halfway thru installing the GUI, your internet is going to die, and the install will fail halfway thru.   Maybe move closer to your wifi router or somehow point the antenna vertically.  Or it could be that the wifi is unstable (I've been using wire).  

We've got to get you away from photographs of the screen too.  Do you have a laptop running windows?  If so download putty here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/.  Then you should be able to run it and connect to your orangepi by typing in its IP address, which you saw when you did an ifconfig (192.168.1.108).  But note that that address might change when you reboot the orangepi.  Also if ping is not stable you'll lose connectivity.

Also, this probably isn't your EMMC issue but don't use btrfs its unstable.

What is your screen resolution and SD card size?  I can give you a ubuntu 14.04 image that installs to my emmc if you want to try it.

Hello!

I am trying to make a USB webcam work on my Orange PI PC with no luck.

It is a standard UVC webcam, known to work on my desktop linux machine with UVC driver and mjpg_streamer.
Thing is – even if I do "insmod uvcvideo" I cannot see the webcam as /dev/video0. So no software can interact with it.
Am I missing something?..Here is lsusb output:

1. orangepi@OrangePI:/dev$ lsusb

Here is lsmod output:

Ya, only got putty to connect once. Never connects when I'm trying something that doesn't work... sorry about that...beat the hell out of typing!
I've tried w/without btrfs
Screen works hdmi anything 480 to 1080. 480 is only one that doesn't overscan. I Usually use 720 so colors don't blind me and things show around edges. With 1080 task bars totaly disapear.
Using 32G card. 8G is the one that failed couple days ago.
I had older loboris image on emmc. It is gone now with the failed attempts with newer images. I will go back and try it if I can figure out which one it was just to make sure my emmc is ok.
Now I can't get fs_resize with openSuse either. Wifi works ...

@Survive-PI I guess you need to invoke the command like this: sudo ./fs_resize
Obviously, don't forget to be in the /usr/local/bin path.
