Rikomagic MK802 Forums

Very informative.I have MK802.

The Lubuntu installed image supports a large number of keyboards and locales. The 2 pre-generated locales from this Lubuntu installation are for Australia and the UK. The default locale and keyboard setting is for Australia.

If you need a different locale, make sure that the "locales" package provides what you need:

Code: Select all

ls /usr/share/i18n/locales/

If your locale is not installed, then you'll need a custom locales package that requires a bit of research. I'd check at the Ubuntu forums or the askubuntu site.

Assuming your locale is installed, the following bash commands will setup your locale for use (as exemplified for the USA):

Code: Select all

sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen en_US
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Then, you can use the Language Support tool under Preferences from the desktop menu. Click on the "Regional Formats" tab and pick one of the entries from the drop down list (E.g. "English (United States)" for me).

For keyboard selection,

Code: Select all

lxkeymap

Select what you need. For myself, I picked "United States" from column 1 and then "English (US)" from column 2.

Finally, logout and re-login.

Note:

We know that partition mmcblk0p2 contains the / directory tree (mount it anywhere as type ext4). It also seems that a mysterious "/dev/root" is mounted on the / directory tree. But, as shown above, there is no "root" device in the "/dev" folder.

Could someone please explain this? Did I miss something? I am not a Linux or Unix newbie so please do not spare any details. Actually, I would not mind seeing the img file design in any form: document, technote, recipe, etc.

Thank you.

I can see the getty processes running, started by init. However, I cannot attach to any of them using the normal Ctrl-Alt-Fn key combination. When I do this, the screen just freezes. Fortunately, Ctrl-Alt-F7 takes me back to normal LXDE operations.

Has anyone else had the same issue? Fix available?

Is it related to the Xorg keyboard driver in use - evdev? Filtered for "keyboard" from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Hi All,

I'm really new to Android but not to Linux, I know and currently use dd command, everything seems fine with my SanDisk class10 16GB SDCard, but my MK802IV keeps on booting Android instead of Linux. Boot time seems as usual (counting the back and forth bar hits), and the same is with other Linux distro... Is there any setting missing in the announce? It should be so easy... Thanks in adv for your help!

I download you linux image on the first post and boot up from SDcard

But now i need rsize nand partition on my device

In dev i see only nanda ... nandi partition
But there is not ALL NAND DEVICE /dev/nand there (i need this to use "nand_part")

The kernel is 3.0.36-t1+
--------

How to enable access to ALL NAND DEVICE /dev/nand?

Who have image for SD card with this access with sunxi-tools "nand_part"?

I find this image for SD card from tobby cubie-server-t4.7z http://dl.miniand.com/toby_corkindale/c ... rver-t4.7z
with kernel 3.4.43 and on this I HAVE access to all NAND device /dev/nand, /dev/nanda ... /dev/nandi

I put my script.bin on the SD card after flash this image on it

I find prebuild nand-part and use it on this image (in attach)

In result i save information from nand (with dd command), nanda-nandi partition (dd and tar), resize it with nand-part and restore information from previos patrition

In result i have more useful partition and more space on /data volume

Did anybody successfully install and use any 3d anaglyph video player such as Bino3d ( http://bino3d.org/index.html ) or others using this O.S., or can anybody kindly test it for me?

Hi all, does this image work on MK802 II? I have one and flashed it using this image following instruction given here and I stuck with Rikomagic boot screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

For fastest dd use:

sudo dd if=lubuntu-1204-rikomagicuk.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m
