I ran an update on my orangpi PC2. Setting up armbian-zsh (24.5.1) ... cp: cannot create directory '/home/unifi/.oh-my-zsh': No such file or directory cp: cannot create regular file '/home/unifi/.zshrc': No such file or directory chown: cannot access '/home/unifi/.oh-my-zsh': No such file or directory chown: cannot access '/home/unifi/.zshrc': No such file or directory Witch is to be expected to fail, because that is a system user I accedentally gave an above 1000 UID Unifi is UID 1003, my regular user bedna (1000) is the owner of /home/bedna I don't mind, I don't use zsh anyway, but figured you would want to know about this. …

OrangePiPc2, ubuntu noble, unofficial image build, only terminal. Everything worked until I decided to install lxde. Ever since at booting it cannot get over plymouth-quit-wait.service/start running (24min 18s / no limit) how can I get to terminal at least?

So I am following instructions for how to install Kiauh on Arbmian. I am using a terminal on my PC through PuTTY. I have cloned the Kiauh files to my device successfully, I have verified they are there, but whenever I try to run the shell using sh ./kiauh/kiauh.sh I get the response 'unknown': I need something more specific. This is the least useful error message I have ever seen. I can't find anyone having had this issue and I am dead in the water. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

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)?

Hi everyone, I'm working on a bunch of arm boards, where I installed armbian on the eMMC I'm trying to re-flash some of them, via SD and then via nand-sata-install, but something is wrong A fresh SD works, as in: boot from SD run nand-sata-install select eMMC run and wait But as soon as I try to do it a second time, on a second board, it breaks, meaning that nand-sata-install doesn't show any storage device, while /dev/mmc* it's recognized from linux (image 1) INFO: Armbian monitor log $ uname -a Linux rockpi-s 6.0.10-rockchip64 #22.11.1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 30 11:20:25 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Hi Unfortunately, I use an Odroid N2 (and N2+) for nextcloud installed via the nextcloudpi script. Now, the support is gone and there are no longer updates for nextcloud beyond version 30.0.x available. Currently I am running nextcloud 30.0.17. The version 30.0.x will reach end-of-support soon. I can imagine the following alternatives: Use armbian-config to install nextcloud - but will it do the update correctly or at all esp. for my external disks which nextcloud is using ? Use the image for the Odroid C2 (another arm-based SBC) and replace the kernel by the one for the Odroid N2+ Port the script from the Odroid C2 image to my O…

Hello. I am a new user of the armbian. I installed nextcloud from armbian-config. Need docker to have access to the file system. I want to place the nextcloud files in the home directory, which is mounted on another partition. I don't understand how to give docker access to my file system. I didn't find the necessary setting in armbian-config. I'm stuck on initial setup

Hello! I am looking to set up edge monitoring for both rising and falling edges. I can monitor either individually but I cannot activate both edges. I receive: genirq: setting trigger mode 3 for irq 36 failed (meson_gpio_irq_set_type+0x0/0x60) I have attempted to use mraa-gpio, gpiod, and sysfs all with the same result. I'm on a Radxa Zero running Armbian 23.5 Jammy (Kernel 6.1.y). Interestingly if I attempt to run Manjaro on this board I can interface with the pins to get the values and set direction but I have no edge detection. Is the GPIO driver in Armbian patched for Amlogic Meson G12A? Hoping I'm posting in the right place! …

I'm trying to build an abian trixie image with the CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_MIPI_DBI support module enabled in the kernel. However, no matter how many times I build, when checking the modinfo module, panel-mipi-dbi is not found. In the /boot/config(kernel) configuration, the line is commented out: #CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_MIPI_DBI is not set I set M to the panel-mipi-dbi kernel module parameter. I also set Y to the parameter. I also tried adjusting the .config file before running the image build. I used both Docker and non-Docker builds. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.

Hi there, I am trying to blacklist a module by adding 'blacklist rtl2832_sdr' to /etc/modprobe.d/rtl2832_sdr.conf I follow this by issuing 'update-initramfs -u' and rebooting. This is a standard way of doing things on Linux, yet somehow all of the modules continue to show up. System is up to date, running on Orange Pi Zero 3, if that matters. I expect this is a bug of some sort, since I saw it mentioned elsewhere here in the forums that this is the way to go, too?

I have already tried to install apk for android tv and it's work, but now I want switch to armbian.

Working on making klipper, a 3d printiing util like Marlin , work on a bpi5 running armbian, fully updated Since the last update a day back, make has been broken.

Hi All, Current running a RockPi4C+, it has crashed after a dist-update (it seems that uboot update not recognize my nvme), then, I reinstall it, on SD card only , but only found a community rolling version, And, now that my system is booting, I want/need to go back to stable, I read about armbian-config to do that, but not enable on RockPi4C+ What is the "cli" way Thank you

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?

Hello! I've searched for it in topics and have found that it is very popular question-) But I'll ask it more specific. Is there any armbian or any other sd image with usbIp support builtin to download? I know that I can build it from source, but I have no idea how to do it-) Please provide me with a link if it is one.

Hi all, I'm quite puzzled by this. I installed iptables-persistent to be able to restore the iptables rules at start-up. Saved the rules to /etc/iptables/rules.v4 / /etc/iptables/rules.v6, then rebooted. But after boot, the iptables are empty. Looking at the status of service netfilter-persistent, it looks like it has ran the scripts to restore the rules: root@gateway:/etc# systemctl status netfilter-persistent.service ● netfilter-persistent.service - netfilter persistent configuration Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/netfilter-persistent.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/netfilter-persistent…

I don't quite know where to post this. I hope I am in the right place. When migrating a system from an armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi4-lts_jammy_current_5.15.93_xfce_desktop image to a SSD, armbian-install creates a broken line in /etc/fstab. The third line is missing the introductory "UUID=". The line then looks like this: xxxxxxxx-yyy-yyy-yyy-xxxxxx /media/mmcboot ext4 defaults,noatime,commit=600 ....etc. As a result, /media/mmcboot is not mounted, of course, and the boot process aborts with a cli root-login. Completing the line allows the system to boot normally. UUID=xxxxxxxx-yyy-yyy-yyy-xxxxxx /media/mmcboot ext4 defaults,noatime,commit=600 ....etc. …

It seems to me that the mesa packages that Armbian provides are broken, but I see no mention of this anywhere so maybe it's something I'm doing? I'm using an Orange Pi Zero 3, which I believe is experimental but I don't see any evidence that the packages of interest are specific to this board. It looks like Armbian provides a new version of libgl1-mesa-dri that relies on a newer version of libdrm-amdgpu1 than what is available in the default debian bookworm repo: ben@orangepizero3:~$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev Reading package lists...

I just installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.732_Rockpi-4bplus_trixie_current_6.18.22_minimal on a Rockpi-4bplus. How do I install the correct Linux headers? The standard apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) method doesn't work for armbian. OK, there's a corresponding option in armbian-config, and it seems to run successfully, but for some reason, I only see linux-headers-6.12.74+deb13+1-arm64 and linux-headers-6.12.74+deb13+1-common in /usr/src.

Running latest Armbian 23.02 Jammy XFCE on my Orange Pi 3 LTS. I need to change the color depth for Sky Chart which needs 16 or 24 bit.

What's wrong and how do I fix it ? Thanks.

When using X11VNC in SBC without a connected display, everything works well on some assemblies and the screen resolution is 1024 x 768. But I could change that in xorg.conf. But now, either in kernel 6.x.x, or in bookworm, I have a 720x576 composite video output resolution, since HDMI is not connected. And there is no way I can change the resolution and make sure that the composite video output is not used. HELP me

Hi all. I am trying to autologin and auto startx BSPWM but all I get is a black screen when calling startx. Here's my .bash_profile if [ -z "${DISPLAY}" ] && [ "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]; then exec startx fi The bspwmrc has permissions 700. Permissions on sxhkdrc is 600. I even gave execute permissions to .xinitrc (below). #!/bin/sh . /etc/X11/Xsession polybar default & sxhkd & exec bspwm It happens if I manually call it, and even when I explicitly tell it to start bspwm (i.e. startx bspwm). The stdout catches a "the command line or make sure that /usr/binis in your path."

Hello people! I'm wondering how I can use Armbian with a webserver? Is it possible?

I just bought this PINE64 board. I flashed the ARMbian GNOME Desktop OS image into an SD card, in order to boot into the board. I already tried to set up an OpenVPN server using this guide (tested with another Ubuntu machine, it worked) but for some reason this does not work using the PINE64 board. All the steps seems to complete successful and the VPN server seems to be up and running, passed the ovpn file to the client user but when the user try to connect to the VPN network the log messages from the VPN client always said "Server poll timeout..." and, of course, the connection never happen. Which could be the problem? Am I missing something for this set up ?

Hi, I am testing armbian with openhab on odroid C4. Sometimes it can be handy to login via Remote desktop to my machine. I enabled RDP through armbian -config, but I can not remote desktop to the machine. When i connect trough renmina or windows rdp, i get the xrdp login screen, but when i enter user and pasword, i get thrown out of the programm, be it srenmina or windows remote desktop. So the problem seems to be on the armbian side. Any suggestions where to look to fix shis? Armbian version 22.11.1 running on odroid C4. Thks in advance

Steps to repeat the bug: 1) use the cross platform PoC written in C, the Python one that everyone is sharing contains obfuscated code (bad ju-ju) and is x86_64 specific `git clone https://github.com/tgies/copy-fail-c` `cd copy-fail-c` 2) compile either on your target device natively, or do what I did and cross-compile it as a static binary using an aarch64-linux-musl toolchain (this made it easy to test on different SBCs) `PREFIX="/opt/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musl-cross" CC=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc LD=aarch64-linux-musl-ld CFLAGS="-static -fPIC -I/opt/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musl-cross/include -L/opt/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musl-cross/lib" LDFLAG…

I'm trying to compile a java maven project and I've noticed that maven is unable to download dependencies from https repositories, I know that this problem is related specifically to https on armbian because I'm also unable to wget https repositories and it only works with the --no-check-certificate flag, I've tested on Ubuntu 22.04 on other two machines and it works, while on my armbian ones it doesn't, I've tested on my orangepi4 and on other 2 machines with x86 cpus that also runs armbian.

Installed 24.8.4 on OrangePi Zero2. Assumed I would need to install neofetch to launch it, so didn't even try to run it before going straight to 'apt install neofetch'. On attempting to install, I saw the following: Reason is that armbian-config package includes /usr/bin/neofetch. To avoid confusion for new users, it seems like it would be good to either have armbian-config depend on neofetch instead of including the bash script that that package includes*, or have the Package file for armbian-config lock out the installation of neofetch (I think the Provides, Replaces, and Conflicts directives might be needed for that). I had a look around the https:/…

I am trying to debug some sporadic issues with my wireless chip (AP6212 - on a BPI-M2 Zero). Looking through other forum posts, I'm wondering if the proper firmware is being loaded, as well as the proper NVRAM settings. I'm not new to Linux (I started using Linux around 97), but I haven't really dove into wireless firmware before, and it's all pretty mysterious to me. A previous forum post points out that the AP6212-specific firmware might not be being loaded. I checked, and in fact, it wasn't loading the firmware from the AP6212 (it looked like it wasn't loading any firmware - it was looking for brcmfmac43430-sdio.sinovoip,bpi-m2-zero.bin but only brcmfmac43430-sdio.…

I copied rk3568-pwm8-m0-fan.dtbo from 4.19.193-67-rockchip folder.

Hello I use armbian on my odroidc2 on the devic is lamp, for a mysql and php server. Now i tried to install composer. The installation works great, but i can't use any scripts from vendor folder. The directory of my php file: /var/www/html/terminal/includes/helpers/my_php_file.php the code in my php file require_once(__DIR__ .

Is it possible to plug in a phone via USB to use its hotspot? Like windows/mac, you can plug in your phone via usb and use its hotspot through a usb cable. Is that possible instead of using an ethernet cable?

Hello, I am attempting to set my armbian machine up to match my Arch install on my Intel box. I like to use en-us. Utf8 with the 'US intl with dead keys' variant. But I cannot find it. Im currently using the intl variant but that requires the use of altgr. And doesn't work with my keyboard or me. Is there something I need to install to get the 'with dead keys' variant which does not Require the use of altgr?

I want to buy an Orange Pi 3 LTS with wifi to use Openhab2, but I'm not sure if it will work, because the Openhab website does not list this model as supported. Tell me, has anyone tried using this Orange Pi 3 LTS and Openhab2 compatibility?

Hello, I'm using Armbian (22.08.0) for risc-v on a Mango-pi. I read in the documentation it is possible to install git with the command of this post-title, but instead, it opens the config menu (see screenshot). I've looked at the option to install git inside this menu (inside the software menu I saw other options except git), but have not found it. How can I do this? Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like the package in subject is not in the repos. However, there are other packages depending on it (explicitly indicating that the required version is >=25.8.2) so this prevents package updates. Interestingly, for the armhf target the package is available, so I suspect a build issue. Any clue?

I have LicheeRV Nano (version B), which is a RISC-V computer with SOPHGO SG2002 CPU. Someone ported Debian onto it. The device acts as an "USB gadget" - when I connect it to my laptop through USB, it identifies itself as USB Ethernet device. This device is running RDNIS. However, when I connect this device to my Ubuntu laptop, I always get new network interface, with different IP (in range 10.42.0.0/24). For instance, once network interface is called "enx8a7df6c752e6", and it's MAC address is "8a:7d:f6:c7:52:e6". Next time it is called "enxd23862ad4ce9", with MAC address pa"d2:38:62:ad:4c:e9", and so on. The dmesg command on my Ubuntu lapto…

I have an Odroid HC1 I'm trying to install Armbian 22.11 Bullseye (Armbian_22.11.1_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_5.4.225.img) on and on first boot I can see it grab an IP on my network etc, however when I try to SSH I get "Connection Refused". The HC1 has no video output so SSH is sorely needed here. As a test I flashed Armbian 22.11 Jammy (Armbian_22.11.1_Odroidxu4_jammy_current_5.4.225.img) to the SDCard, booted it and was able to SSH to it just fine so it's not hardware/network related. I need Bullseye to install openmediavault. Anyone have ideas?

I recently acquired some nanopc t4, I wanted to install casaos, openmedivault, friendlywrt, pihole, and things like that, it turns out that no matter what operating system I install, armbian, ubuntu, lubuntu, debian, or the official ones, I never have access to the installed services, that is I can not access casaos from another pc, as if there was a firewall that blocks incoming connections, I only have access via ssh, if I pin to the ip address (192. 168.0.31 for example) all good, there is no firewall installed, with all the systems the same thing happens to me, in all the nanopc, I only have access from the same nanopc, that is to say, 127.0.0.1, but it is impossible …

Hello everybody, i have installed the current Armbian version on my banana pi m5 (Image-data: Armbian_22.11.1_bananapim5_bullseye_edge_6.0.10.img). the system starts and the login works without problems, but I can't update and upgrade anything. When I used the command apt update && apt upgrade, I get the following error: https://ibb.co/jbRcJwk Is this problem already known and can anyone help me with it?

I use my Banana Pi with pihole. There I see different IF-IDs. 1) What are IF-IDs? I assume Interface IDs. On my Laptop I don't see that. There are only IFs. 2) The speed of IF-ID-1 and -3 are 10000 Mbps. My Banana Pi M1 has only 100 Mbps. What is the sense of this? 3) The WAN IP of IF-ID-3 shows with whois that this is a Backbone of Vodafone. How could this be, that I see this? inxi -i Network: Device-1: sun7i-a20-gmac driver: sun7i_dwmac IF: eth0 state: up speed: 100 Mbps duplex: full mac: 02:cd:02:41:f1:17 IP v4: 192.168.178.5/24 type: dynamic noprefixroute scope: global IP v6: fe80::a8fc:3ac5:236d:9a…

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 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…

I had to install (they were missing) sshfs, then fuse and finally ssh on a bpi-m5, using a 128Gb u-sd as boot media. iso was noble from a week ago's download, and updated at 2nd boot after establishing my /etc/hosts file based network. I can ssh from it /to/ the main box w/o any problem. But any attempt to reverse into it /from/ another machine /to/ it is "connection reset by peer". I haven't touched /etc/ssh/*config's from default values. Is there something I need to set/reset in those files to restore incoming logins? And no, I do not enable root logins. Also, systemd is still a puzzle to me if its involved. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, i updated my Odroid HC2 to OMV7 following posts 29 and 30 from this thread https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/51654-seemingly-cannot-update-and-upgrade-anymore-due-to-repository-having-no-release/&postID=383747#post383747 Actually looks like the update completed successfully, but i noted that connecting in ssh my motd looks wrong.

Dear all, sorry if it's a stupid question 😉 ... I successfully install armbian on my SBC (in fact a TV box) for amlogic https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box/ I install this one: Armbian_community_25.5.0-trunk.4_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.12.12.img.xz I use armbian-config / section "software" to add some 3rd party software, and it works very well The choice in the "software" section is limited on my setup, and when I look at the source code (main branch) here https://github.com/armbian/configng/tree/main/tools/modules/software I see more software available.... Is it possible to upgrade only "armbian-co…

Hey there, I'm trying to use gstreamer as a video player for the tinkerboard 2 armbian build (Armbian Bookworm XFCE desktop stable). It seems that the VPU isn't used correctly, I only get about 20FPS for a 1080p mp4 video (h_264) and CPU flies to a 100%+. On the original and not so good orignal operating system (TinkerOS) there was an extra gstreamer sink plugin made for the RK3999 (rkimagesink). I tried to compile the original plugin from sources (https://github.com/TinkerBoard2/external-gstreamer-rockchip), but there are several dependencies missing and I can't find them either on github / apt. Any idea how to make gstreamer use th…

Back in the days, i've installed armbian on my "Odroid XU4". those where the days when "buster" was still a thing. In the meantime, I've updated the system (change apt repos; run 'apt full-upgrade'), and I'm now running "bookworm": # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

I installed minidlna on a Linux Orange Pi PC 6.12.23-current-sunxi and also on an Orange Pi Zero, but it doesn't work; it doesn't appear in the client, on an LG Smart TV. On a Raspberry Pi, it does work; the configuration files are the same, and there are no network rules blocking any traffic... Any ideas what it could be?

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..

I have upgraded multiple RockPiS that were happily working - new version is Armbian 22.08.8 stable - but the latest version of Armbian-config no longer includes WiFi Access point creation/ management, and seems to disable the Access Point functionality. I am hoping this is an error that will be fixed - but if not, is there any way to downgrade the version of Armbian-Config - or turn the Access Point back on ?

Just wondering if having profile-sync-daemon (psd) is causing troubles to you. After installing Armbian, I noticed that whenever I was restarting Chromium and accessing youtube, the system was asking me a login. The authentication cookies were simply disappearing after each restart of chromium. To avoid that I removed a link of my .profile directory pointing to a tmpfs filesystem (you see the tmpfs file system, use the df command). I read that it is used to avoid read/write on storage, as all I/O are done in Ram, but obviously in my case it was not really working, as I was loosing my cookies. Does anyone else uses that feature?…

I have an OrangePi PC with armbian installed on it. Today, probably because of my stupidity, the board couldn't boot after upgrading a bunch of stuff. When I opened the sd card on my pc, I found that there were no kernel files in /boot and there were broken symlinks. I tried to replace these with the files from the current minimal image armbian is available for the board, but encountered a UUID mismatch. I then used files from a september 2021 backup, which did allow me to boot into a functional system. It had Linux 5.10.43-sunxi. But before my attempts to fix the issue, my system had Linux 6.1.11-sunxi installed, so I am concerned about this mismatch and would like to sa…

Hi! I am using the as of this date latest armbian image Armbian 22.11 Jammy, Kernel 5.15.y, Size: 495Mb, CLI, Release date: Nov 30, 2022 for my board: https://www.armbian.com/rock64/ I am not sure if this is specifically an issue with the CLI image, or if both images are affected. I am not using a GUI. I configured a static IP address via netplan (generated and applied the config) and installed a dhcp server. The dhcp server sometimes kept failing to start on reboot. Checking the logs showed that even though the isc-dhcp-server depends on the network being configured before it tries to start, that actually systemd sometimes starts isc-dhcp-server b…

I have to be upfront: I'm not a developer. I'm an ops/observability engineer who knows how to use software to get things done. I know a bit of Go — not much — and I have no formal background in software design. What I do know is what I need, and what was missing. So I built it. Take the code with that in mind. The problem I run a Kobol Helios64 as my home NAS — a five-bay ARM board that's been sitting in a sweet spot between "serious hardware" and "abandoned by its software ecosystem." I tried the usual NAS UIs. They were either too heavy, too opinionated about owning the underlying OS, or simply unmaintained. None of them gave me a clean window in…
