Kodi can be installed (the version for Odroid C-1), but it makes no sense, it can't run without mal ...

I'm still kind of new at this, so, pardon my confusuion.
Are you saying Mali hardware acceleration, is the stumbling block?I see it works for the Rockwell chip (in the Raspburry), but not with the OPI's H3 ?
The Raspbury supports OSMC & Openelec, is this why?


I just found this would it help :
GPU Kernel Device Drivers
  Mali 400/450 Driver
Linux Kernel Device Driver r5p2-00rel0

Hello.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04-trusty. I can't see any system logs at /var/log (files like var/log/messages.log or /var/log/syslog.log). Does logging disabled at that image? How I can enable it?

Thanks loboris, install_to_emmc works again.

I use WiFi...eth disconnected. Is that relevant to last line below? Important?

I'm running Debian Jessie mini on pi PC and latest lobo kernel.  I've plugged a ralink wifi dongle and on the dmesg just appeared that I have plugged a device. I have also plugged a r820t dvb dongle and the same story.. No dvb drivers loaded. Is there something broken? Really strange. Do you suggest a particular distribution which has less problems ? Changing topic. Is there any possibility to see Linux 4 on ours boards?

Loboris, thank you for your work on Debian images!

I noticed some slowness on several commands (e.g. sudo).
It can be fixed it by adding the following to /etc/hosts so the system does not have to query DNS to resolve the host name:
127.0.1.1 OrangePi

First I want to say thanks Loboris for the OSes.  For the most part they seem to be working great.

My only problem is that I can't get a USB wifi to work.  I have an Orange Pi PC.  I'm using the prebuilt distro in red on the first post.  The wifi usb is using the Realtek 8188cus chip.  This usb wifi is supposed to work great with the Raspberry Pi, but I can't get it to work on the Orange Pi.  Apparently there have been some issues with the drivers on Linux and so you have to compile the drivers from scratch.

My problem is that when I try to compile the driver it tells me it can't find the headers.  I've tried to tell it to look in several different places for the headers, but none of them have worked.  So I was wondering where do I find the headers.  Thanks.

Headers must be present in kernel sources: https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kernel

I've attached by DVB-T Dongle (R2838 which is supported by dvb_usb_rtl28xxu) but no module is loaded.. Even if I load the module nothing happens. (I'm running ubuntu 14.04).
On my laptop module is automatically loaded and all works.
Do you have any hints @loboris?

Thanks
