E: Package 'glmark2-es2' has no installation candidate

[jhalbrecht]

Got out my pine A64+ for the first time since the kickstarter ended.

I booted stretch-minimal-pine64-bspkernel-0.7.30-140.img.xz and logged in via ssh. Works.

I wanted to try out the desktop. Is this the prefered way to install it? /usr/local/sbin/install_desktop.sh lxde

I'm getting the errors
E: Package 'glmark2-es2' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'chromium-browser' has no installation candidate

If I get a desktop installed is HDMI still a problem? See; hdmi not functional in prerelease #55

I received these same errors. When these are commented out of the /install_desktop.sh file, error #71 occurs.

I've updated #71 with a solution that will probably also solve your issue in the OP.

I put this up after installing mine. It really helps to have clear instructions around a problem for newbies.

hope ayufan will update the script to fix this issue in next release.

Thanks @desaiamogh

FWIW I've moved over to Armbian
