I know the edge kernel and trixie build is not supported, but it builds just fine, but during the first boot it fails when setting the root password. Any fix?

Every time I tried to log on to ssh on my rock-s0 with armbian, there would be a delay of like 5 seconds. I found a solution that fixes this problem. This thread is partly a PSA about this solution, and a question about whether this solution is a good idea or not. The trick is to change UsePAM=yes , to UsePAM=no , in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. But I heard some people online say this is a bad idea, but I don't understand PAM enough to know why. I am only going to use ssh in a basic password-authenticated, LAN environment. Do I really need PAM? The only side-effect I noticed is that it no longer shows the MOTD when logging in.

I fixed in the past some problems with sata drive by setting to "rolling" the sources in armbian-config. A few day ago I wanted to upgrade to trixie (debian 13) sources. I forgot to set up again the armbian-config sources to "stable" and I went in a bad situation with my raid1 : it completely disappeared from /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, and was unable to mount. After several struggling with the command line tools, I managed to get it recreated by the following command : mdadm --create --force /dev/md0 \ --level=1 \ --raid-devices=2 \ /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 \ --metadata=1.2 --data-offset=$(( 264192/2 ))K Now it seems to be syncing, but I think the fi…

Hello, everyone. I'm using Armbian_25.5.2_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.30-homeassistant_minimal on 4GB OpiZero3. When booting from sd, the bluetooth controller is initialized correctly. I made a boot from usb-ssd via armbian-config: everything works fine, but the bluetooth controller is not initialized. /sys/class/bluetooth is empty. Switch back to sd - it works again. Boot from ssd - no. I compared whether it transferred the distribution correctly from sd to ssd - all files are the same. What could be the problem?

I'm using Bluetouch in my iPhone as a bluetooth mouse (rarely when needed) for my OrangePi/Armbian/Kodi setup. All fine with that… except… with my iPhone paired to the OrangePi, it also connects all its audio to the OrangePi, *all the time* when in range, unless I completely disable bluetooth from the iPhone. According to the only instructions I've found, I've tried setting [General] Enable= in `/etc/bluetooth/main.conf`, and restarting the bluetooth service, but the only effect this has is that there's no audible output. The phone still connects its audio to the box, just with no audible output. How to completely disable Armbian from advert…

I got an Orange Pi Zero 3 (1.5GB) to run Adguard Home. I tried the latest Armbian image (25.5.1), first with DE, then without... same problem. I run the config wizard and install AdGuard Home through it, set it up via the browser (192.168.0.6:3000), then reboot to make sure the service loads properly on boot... which it doesn't. Well, the service SEEMS to be running, according to the monitor, but I can no longer access AdGuard via the browser (and yes, I reserved 192.168.0.6 for the Orange Pi in the router).

close investigation it seems to use grub, not bootp, card written does not show any activity of green led even after 10 minutes from powerup. Do you have some of the magic twanger needed to boot a pi? Thank you, gene1934

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum and recently set up Armbian on my Orange Pi using the latest July 2025 image. I’m working on a user-space application to monitor fuel consumption for IoT projects involving vehicle fleets, like optimizing diesel trucks. I’m thinking of something that could run via armbian-config or as a Python script, pulling data from fuel sensors. So far, my idea is to log consumption data and calculate efficiency based on user input. I’ve tried Grafana, but it lacks a dedicated fuel calculator—kalkulatorpaliwa.com.pl could serve as a starting point for a simple interface. I’m unsure how to approach this on Armbian—should I use Python with Mat…

Hello Armbian community I am a bit confused - I only see images labeled for Raspberry Pi 4 in the Raspberry Pi section of the Armbian website. However, I have seen several videos (like the demo by NicoD) showing Armbian Jammy with KDE Neon running smoothly on Raspberry Pi 5. Are the images for Pi 5B hidden or moved? I am looking for a direct link to download the Pi 5B images (Jammy or Bookworm, desktop or minimal version), instead of having to guess if a "Pi 4" image actually supports the Pi 5. Thank you for your help!

Hi! On the Orange Pi 5 plus with the 6.1 image (KDE), with a 4k monitor @ 60FPS and 200% scaling, when opening discord on Chrome it gets incredibly laggy. I'm just curious, is this a limitation with the GPU itself, or is this related to something in the software stack? Thanks!

After booting up, the network card cannot be recognized on armsom. The network card is Broadcom's bcm4375. However, it was recognized after suspend once, but it can no longer be recognized afterwards. There is no relevant log in the log. When it was recognized, I wanted to open a p2p connection, but it could not be opened.

Linux 6.15 was released yesterday. How long does it normally take before it's ready for the armbian build process?

Lastest current kernel Bullseye image for Renegade, first-boot, then reboot, ssh.service won't active. Problem is 'Missing privilege separation directory: /run/sshd', creat by manul then start the service will make it active. But after a reboot it will need to done again. Purge and install openssh-server will fix it. Reinstall won't work. Remember do this before install other package which depend on openssh-server. https://paste.armbian.com/qoxebajifu

Can I build an Armbian x64 image for my NUC14? This PC requires linux kernel 6.14 for all driver support for the nuc14, like Ubuntu 25.04.

Hi. Im sorry, if the question below has been already discussed and published somewhere, but i didnt find proper information. So, what i have: orangepi5max, https://github.com/armbian/build.git this armbian, https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel.git and this kernel, which is placed in armbian-build/kernel. I've tried to use "userpatches/linux-$LINUXFAMILY-$BRANCH.config" config from armbian manual, to specify path to kernel, but despite the fact that manual states, that my custom config should replace the default one, ./compile.sh ignores it. So what am i doing wrong and is it even possible nowadays to assebmle the image using local kernel or it is already restricted?

I have now been able to build server images for Raspberry Pi 5B and Radxa 5C, both having gpu hardware driver support. However, this only works with Ubuntu Noble as a distro base. I would also like to make Debian Bookworm images, but when I do, I never get any gpu hardware driver support. Why is that? What's so special about Ubuntu (which basically is Debian)?

In the official Armbian Radxa Rock 5C Gnome image (nobel) the WiFi hardware is detected, but in the server image (nobel) the WiFi hardware is not detected. Edit. I see I can use WiFi in armbian-config, but it does not show up in gnome on the server image.

Thanks.

In Gnome, there are two shortcuts, armbian-config and armbian-configNG. What's the difference?

During the installation process of Armbian you set admin password, make a new user, set time zone and system langue, BUT not the keyboard layout... Any reason this is not part of the default armbian install process? Keyboard layout should be the first option to set during boot.

I normally like building server images because they are small and fast to compile. An then I can add the wanted desktop by "sudo apt install gnome" or other desktop later. But, sometimes I wonder if the desktop images have more features, like hardware drivers, than a server image with an added desktop afterwards. Can this be the case? Or does server images contain the same drivers and hardware support as a image built with a destop included?

I have noticed that when building images using the same kernel but selecting Ubuntu or Debian base (Bookworm vs Jammy), some hardware doesn't work on one of the images. Since the kernel is identical, why is not the hardware support the same? Is there a different build script for the two bases? Different userspace drivers? Just wondering..

After building many images, often there are combinations of kernel, sbc card and linux base that will just give an error, like this one: Getting sources from Git [ kernel:6.1 rk-6.1-rkr5.1 ] fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/home/steven/build/cache/git-bare/shallow-kernel-6.1' To add an exception for this directory, call: git config --global --add safe.directory /home/steven/build/cache/git-bare/shallow-kernel-6.1 [💥] Error 128 occurred in main shell [ at /home/steven/build/lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:211 run_host_command_logged_raw() --> lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:211 run_host_command_logged() --…

I've been using Armbian for developing an image for running on some custom hardware based on an Allwinner S3 (SoC with a single arm v7 core and 128mb ram) and it has been really helpful.

I then reran: ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge kernel-config and I see that the config changes I made have been reverted. 2) How to clean the kernel and force a rebuild? I tried ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge CLEAN_LEVEL="make-kernel" kernel But the kernel was not cleaned, nor rebuilt. …

Hi every time I start firefox an error message appears stating "Could not read configuration file - contact your system administrator" 🙃, i. e. me. Does anyone know how to fix it ? It is simply an annoyance - firefox works as expected so far. Kind regards Norbert

hi folks I've installed the pi-hole version that you guys have kindly delivered through the extra software I can't make it work with the default docker 'virtual network' how can I change it so that docker uses the host network?? I worked out that pi-hole is started using a start.sh but I looked at it and it's double dutch to me! cheers

Hi I can access my nextcloud in the firefox browser, but the client always states "signed out". From time to time there is a request in the browser to confirm access of the client to the nextcloud server. Howeveer, this doesn't seem to work. I guess, I should add an online account (in Preferences). But there is no button to "Add account" shown. Do you have a hint to a missing package ? I am out of ideas how to solve it. Kind regards Norbert

I read about Debian/Ubuntu, that — as the Armbian — in general have all sorts of UTF-8 locales installed by default, it is possible to generate ISO8859-2 locales anyway by using a 'locale-gen' tool (found such suggestion here ). But there isn't locale-gen in Armbian, it seems (Armbian v25.2.2). Can it be installed from some repo, or maybe it's possible to generate ISO8859-2 locales some alternative way? If so — how do i do that?

Hi, I've just loaded armbian on a SBC and the first thing I went to do was apt update apt upgrade apt install neofetch However when I went to run neofetch, I had the following error bash: fastfetch: command not found After installing fastfetch with apt, it worked as expected.

I have a Banana Pi M64 running Armbian 24.11.1 jammy, which has both a hard wired Ethernet connection and also WiFi. I have several other computers with both Ethernet and WiFi connections. I have my local DHCP servers set up to offer the same local IP address to both the Ethernet and Wireless NICs. For most (all but the Banana Pi M64 running Armbian 24.11.1 jammy) this is fine: both NICs get the same IP address and things work fine (generally traffic goes on one NIC). I do this in case I need to unplug the Ethernet cable (which would cause things to "fail over" to wireless). The Banana Pi M64 used to also be fine with the same IP address on both its Ethernet and its W…

Hi - just wondering if there's something anyone can do to seed more of Armbian community maintained images - especially Rockpro64 and Rpi5 images. There seems to be only one seeder and just as I was typing this post, I got to download over a gigabyte of the Rockpro64 image but it's still not finished. It seems the seeder (?) was online for a moment but then seeding stopped. So if there's something someone can do, much appreciated!

Hi Members, I'm setting and reading the GPIO PINs for different BPI's frequently only by bash by maintaining the /sys/class/gpio/xxx values. The only problem is that all these files belong to root :root and I have to use the sudo command in my scripts. I've read about putting a non root user to the gpio group will fix that. But on Armbian there is no "gpio" group ;( That seems the reason why the directory /sys/class/gpio is not prepared as root:gpio Please has someone an idea when this will be implemented? Regards wollik

Hi, I'm using Armbian 24.11.1 bookworm with a V6.6.62 64 bit Kernel on a NanoPi Neo2. To debug, I have a UART/Serial-to-USB connector attached. Other end is on a Windows 11 box where I use Putty. The setup works fine with one minor issue. During the print of the boot messages, suddenly the printed line width of lines with [ <status> ] is limited 70 columns. It starts shortly after the Welcome to Armbian 24.11.1 bookworm! message and a "…" character is used to shorten the lines. This part has normal line length: Welcome to Armbian 24.11.1 bookworm!

Hello, Yesterday I was doing an upgrade on my NanoPi T6, and then I got a kernel panic and no boot. I am currently running kernel 6.1.84 To recover my information through a new mmc card I put armbian with kernel 6.12. And I logged in by doing a chroot. There used to be an option to install a newer kernel via armbian-config, but I can't find that option now. Is there any way how i can put on my current server a newer kernel or through cli which packages should i install. Greetings, A.H.

Hello, I have an odroid hc4 which I am mainly using as a home NAS. I chose Armbian + OMV (headless) and it works really well. Now I tried using it as a media center at the same time with kodi. I tried both the "old" kodi version from the debian repos and also the flatpak version. For both it seems like the hardware acceleration isn't working. I can run youtube 1080p with vp9 quite fine, but neither 1080p with h264, nor anything 4k, at this resolutions it's stuttering a lot. Also the CPU-usage is always very high. When i start flatpak-kodi it returns: 'this->recurse > 0' failed at ../src/pipewire/thread-loop.c:62 do_unlock() libva info: VA-…

Hello everyone, I’m currently trying to develop an Electron-based application to run on the Orange Pi PC Plus (ARM platform), but I’ve hit a few roadblocks in the build process. My goal is to package and distribute the app so it can be run directly on this specific device, but I’m struggling with issues related to cross-compiling and creating binaries compatible with its architecture. Has anyone here successfully built and deployed an Electron app on an Orange Pi or a similar ARM board? I would really appreciate any guidance, tips, or recommended tools for accomplishing this.

I tried to install OMV on Orange Pi 5 Pro with Armbian Community but it say can't. Is it still possible to install it?

In most versions of Armbian, why does the device not log in anymore when I use VNCSERVER error and remains in the same initial login shell?

Thanks, Armbian for supporting users like us with community backed OS for SBCs which otherwise are struggling to maintain the OS software in synergy with their hardware product portfolio. The whole SBC paradigm revolves around accessing GPIO either as Inputs, Outputs, UARTs, SPI or I2C. If the main focus/priority is to get the UI up and running, there would be no difference between mainstream rooted phones/tablets and SBC. As a general observation, I have almost always struggled to run gpio based python scripts out of the box after loading minimal OS for multiple SBCs. As a humble request on behalf of whole community is to propose readiness for GPI…
