Hello guys, I never used armbian or any other kind of mini ARM Linux distro. I'm thinking about buying one of these ARM boards for a wireless access point and light server. What kind of packages can be installed on armbian? Can apache, BIND, ansible, python3, DHCP server, for example, be installed on it? Are there any packages repositories? Possible to use a more powerful wifi antenna on them or is a USB antenna needed? Many thanks for any pointers on this.

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

Hi all, Simple question, I can SSH without an issue to my odroid n2 running armbian 23.8.1 but RDP isn't working. Cinnamon flavor installed. I enabled RDP in armbian-config and even after a reboot no dice. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hej, Microsoft has recently announced a new release of the dotnet version 7. I just wanted to guide how to get it running on armbian. It is actually pretty straightforward and takes only few steps. if you have any previously installed dotnet runtime - rm it. First things first, lets get the right package from the site: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0 from here download arm32/64 version (I ll go with arm32) wget https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/61cb6649-f41f-4966-84ae-9ff673528054/9bbd07607c5a1af87354e1fa93c36a00/aspnetcore-runtime-7.0.0-linux-arm.tar.gz run ls, …

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?…

Hi, on my Pinebook Pro with Armbian, I would like to use AesCrypt like on all my other Linux and Windows and Android systems, but here on Armbian, I need some support... - AesCrypt seems not to be available as deb package in Armbian and also Debian repos, right? - install AesCrypt directly from AesCrypt website as deb package with gdebi doesn"t work, guess because it is for x86 only - so I would like to make use of pyAesCryt as module in my Python script - the way as I know it from Archlinux and Manjaro, pip install pyAesCrypt does not work, get a message "environment is externally managed, not Debian-packaged software has to be…

Hi guys, i'm running transmission-daemon 3.00 on my orange pi 5 where there is installed Armbian based on ubuntu jammy. It works fine, but recently i've reached the number of 78 torrents that i'm downloading and seeding, i do not think it's an high number of files shared. Anyway after some hours that i start transmission-daemon i do not know the reason, it seems that is not downloading and seeding anything. I mean that the interface and the process are running and active but every torrent file it seems freezed. If i restart the process, everything start to work properly. I'm not an expert, if someone can tell me how to gather the logs i can share with you more inf…

1) What is the correct way to make kernel configuration changes? I have attempted to: ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge kernel-config saved config,. and then ./compile.sh BOARD=bananapim4zero BRANCH=edge kernel However,after installing the kernel I found the config changes were not applied. 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?

Hello to everyone, my name is Mare, and I am a fresh user in this armbian comunity. My last experience was with puppy linux, ubuntu and similiar. Last week I bought Banana Pi M5 and installed latest Armbian on it. I have to startup Mozzila firefox in fullscreen (kiosk) mode with specific URL adress. All of that stuff I did with Raspberry and Puppy linux, but here it seems it is little harder.

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’m assuming this is to do with the kernel but otherwise have no idea. I’ve had no problems with this Wireguard plugin on a 32bit Libre Bullseye install on a Renegade but was unable to get 64bit Bullseye to accept login creds so opted for Armbian. Now unable to use the plugin at all. Anyone have any ideas? I’ve tried the 6.1.11 edge kernel but Wireguard broke this too. Not sure what else to try. Attempted to get Libre kernels to load without success - way above my skillset for now. TIA

I have an IoT project that uses an SPI LCD (480x320), showing 1 full screen application on top of X11, which starts automatically, almost in kiosk mode. Is it worth a lot trying to switch to Wayland?

Hello, I was so happy to discovery your image and to reuse my Odroid.

Hi, Im trying to use the docker command to make some changes. However the docker binary is missing on my system. Ive tried reinstalling docker.io and docker-compose with no luck. Where should the binary be located? How can i install it? Im on armbian-trixie rolling release.

Armbian uses Netplan by default to manage network settings. But when it uses NetworkManager as renderer, it silently changes iptables rules—without asking, without telling. *Neither Netplan nor NetworkManager are supposed to manage firewall settings.* But they do it anyway, behind the scenes. That kind of behavior—making security changes without user consent—feels a lot like what malware does.

Headless armbian minimal OS installation from armbian imager still expects SSH login to complete first time configuration I configured a static IP in armbian imager profile and root password and other user name and password and also other settings.

Armbian Imager Update ends up treating onboard microSD card as system drive. Is it possible to make onboard sd card program as a system drive by changing the setting to allow system drives. However it still exposes newbie to possible risk of ending up the SSD. Please keep SD card slot as an exception to be treated as system drive.

I post this only as information if someone want to test it and see if there are differences. I know that Armbian use own script to manage zram. There is too systemd-zram-generator in sid repository now as the newest version (for long time was old version 0.3.x).

Hello Can I use armbian on the hp t620? The windows os needs so much resources Thank for your help

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…

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a custom firmware project for the Allwinner V851S/V851SS SoC (e.g., dash cam or smart camera). I've reached the stage where I need to modify and re-sign the firmware images (TOC0/TOC1) for use with tools like PhoenixCard.

Hello I wanted to post on here regarding a new project we have been working on called SimpNAS. Its similar to OpenMediaVault or FreeNAS but simpler and more basic. Its currently in Beta but we are looking to have a stable release by the time Kobol ARM NAS gets released. It can be installed on armbian devices as long as it has two hard drives one for the OS and one for Data. For example we have it installed on an ODroid HC2, but can be installed on any PC. Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

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 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 need a USB imager with offline installation to run on armbian. So not amd architecture. Just one to install on armbian.

There is several gigabytes of eMMC memory prepasted on the bpi-m5 that I would like to train amanda's database to use as its a heck of a lot faster & longer lasting than the 128G u-sd it is booting from. What is the procedure to mount it and make it usable as r/w memory?

Has anyone here configured armbian with a Wayland desktop, and completely free of X11? How did you do it? I have compiled labwc and it works great with my orange pi zero 3, with bookworm or trixie... but I can't figure out how to configure a wayland greeter. I need to do this because my LCD driver can't work with X11 (panel-mipi-dbi-spi).

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!

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?

Hello, I downloaded recent Armbian image for Orange Pi PC Plus - 23.05.1. When I run it, the screen resolution is 720x576 and virtual resolution 1024x768. I changed armbianEnv.txt - defined disp_mode=1280x800p60 (this is what I need) and also used fbset command in my application and it works in most cases, but sometimes after system restart the screen resolution is the default (720x576) and can't be changed - I get error - "ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument". How can this be fixed? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I decided today to give an Armbian build a whirl as a virtual machine (guest). In particular, Armbian_24.2.4_Uefi-x86_jammy_current_6.6.21_kde-neon_desktop.img. As is usual with installing a virtual machine, it comes up with a default video resolution of 1024x768; I can usually quickly get it full screen on my system as 1920x1080 by going to the System Settings : Hardware : Display and Monitor : etc. However, here there is no hardware subsection at all, and a search didn't turn up a setting to change the display. Any advice on where to find it? I installed the spice guest driver and related packages on the guest. …

Requesting to provide nmtui which is more flexible. To elaborate the case, the dhcp is must for connecting to mobile hotspot which keeps on changing ip series. And for IoT project, I need static configuration. That's why i need armbian to allow dhcp when i am trying to ssh on…

I have ntpsec setup s a stratum 2 server on this machine I'm no ATM, basically to lighten the load on the distros servers and its being used by most of my machines here. I'm bringing up, slowly it seems, another 3d printer with a bpi-m5 as the front end for the klipper driver. I have followed the directions in /etc/chrony/sources.d/README to add that file, pointing chrony at this machine for its time reference. Restarting /etc/init.d/chrony geenerates an ok response from systemctl status: Feb 13 14:56:03 bpi51e5p systemd[1]: Starting chrony, an NTP client/server...

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 all, recently installed this on OPi5, i would like to learn more about how to start utilising the GPIO to sense something like temperature alert of some sort or be able to add to the inputs and make something happen like send email alerts when something is triggered.. any suggestions ? cheers

My TV is being weird. I adjusted the taskbar so it’s not off screen, although I didn’t think about the minimize/maximize/etc being cut off. I tried looking around for a solution but didn’t find topics with solutions that worked. My TV is funky and doesn't have a video adjustment menu, so I can’t do that. And the resolutions available are supposed to be supported by my tv. Am I able to set screen boundaries, like a screen safe area so the display is not cut-off? If it’s not possible, it would make a nice feature.

How to setup printing on HamClock Ver 4.04. (armbian.com) Linux. I have been a Linux admin and none of methods work.

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

My system boots from EMMC and the entire system is on EMMC. I make a nightly clone of the entire system to an SD card for backup purposes. For some reason the system sees both the EMMC and the SD when I try to boot it from the clone, and chooses the EMMC. Is there a way to force the system to boot from the SD card?

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.

Hey everyone, I want to share something pretty simple that I was working on: a way to customize the official image, maybe it's not the best way of doing it, but it worked for my needs. https://github.com/thiagosanches/yet-another-armbian-bakery/ The main goal is: WIFI up at the first boot. Make some small adjustments on SSH configuration. Change root password. Add a pi user. Add a public key so I can connect orange pi through and manage it through ansible (important topic). Any thoughts? It ain't much but it's a honest work!

I've just installed Kodi Matrix in my new Rock5B but it's impossible to install any add-ons Any suggestion? Thank you in advance

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.

So I need to know what I have to do to get MIDI messages into my music app that I'm working on. I developed a cli synth app on Manjaro using SDL3 and Jack. Jack I used to connect to MIDI aka 'MIDI-Bridge' or MIDI Through and an external program to produce MIDI messages sent to MIDI Through. I am currently trying to do the same on the actual device I wish to use which is the OrangePi 4 LTS I have spare with just bare bones Armbian Server, no desktop. I have audio working through Pipewire. I am used to Jack just being available because Pipewire intercepts and handles the calls behind the scenes. I noticed that on Armbian I think I have to use the 'pw-jack' program or jack-p…

I am running 22.11 Jammy Gnome on my Orange Pi 5. Everything works great, except for 1 thing. The monitor is not turning off after a period of inactivity. I have the screen blank setting in the power screen set to 5 mins. Also, the screen dimming is not working. I have the switch set to "on" for dim screen after inactivity. Anyone know how to fix this?

I installed Filebrowser via armbian-config but it didn't work. The container was restarting and there was: Using database: /database/filebrowser.db Error: open /database/filebrowser.db: permission denied in the .log file. The developers of Filebrowser explained they introduced some breaking changes and documented the changes that have to be made to avoid that error: - User: File Browser no longer runs as root, but as user with PID 1000 and GID 1000.

Need a VPN for multiplayer gaming server, need guidance which would work best for me

Hi everyone, I installed Armbian 23.11 Jammy-amazingfated Gnome to my Orange Pi 5 Plus and it works nicely. The problem I am having is that I cannot wake up SBC if it goes to sleep. Is there any known solution? If not what can I do to troubleshoot the problem? Puska

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.

I'm sure the the developers intentions are good but i'm a big boy now and don't need or want someone else restricting how my passwords must be formed. One of the things that draws me to linux is the concept of freedom. Please tell me how to get around this limitation of Armbian/cinnamon on my Raspberry Pi4b. I use LMDE 5.0/cinnamon on my Intel & AMD computers and don't have this problem. I don't say his in anger. If I have to type a long password to simply use sudo then I'm not sure I want to run Armbian.

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 tried https://imola.armbian.com/beta/pool/main/l/ and apt search, but there was no suitable packages for my devices.

I am using armbian minimal and le potato. In tty the screen has a black bar of unusable space and cuts off about 1.5 lines at the bottom. I managed to install sway and sddm with the use of clearing the terminal. In sddm the top and probably the other sides of the screen gets cut off, It cuts off like half of the text at the top. In sway it has a blue bar at the top and cuts off the bottom like it does in tty. I don't really care about fixing sddm but I want to fix sway and tty. I have looked at sway's output command and setting the pos configuration does not do anything. I have also looked into changing the boot.cmd file to remove the overscan "100" thing but that still d…

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.

Hardware video decode in "Google Chrome". I will start this out with "It flickers on a 16GB board. I can use it to play High Resolution YouTube Videos." YMMV! Test Note: I run it at 4k@120hz on my Pi-Desktop build. # HOW-TO: Hardware video decode in Google Chrome on RK3588 (Orange Pi 5B / Ubuntu-rockchip BSP) This gets Google Chrome to decode video on the RK3588 hardware VPU (via VA-API) instead of grinding it out on the CPU. Result: smooth 1080p and 4K playback with the CPU nearly idle. Codecs that decode in hardware: H.264, HEVC, VP8, VP9. (No AV1 - see Problems and Fixes.) As a bonus, the same driver also gives Firefox hardware decode. …

I have Armbian on OrangePi One. It is connected to the TV via HDMI, and has a USB card with headphones connected. I installed LXDE on it via tasksel and found that only one audio device in the mixer is visible in software at a time: either hdmi if the USB card is disabled, or headphones otherwise. Is it possible to teach a microcomputer, like a desktop computer, to see multiple audio devices at the same time?

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. There's a way to make https work by default on these cases? I don't know if I'm missing some configuration or something like that. I've attached a screenshot of what happen…

Hello everyone, I am using an Orange Pi Zero 2W with a graphical user interface (GUI). I downloaded and installed the official Orange Pi Zero 2W image. Unfortunately, I keep running into a Wi-Fi connection issue. After booting, the system repeatedly asks me to enter my Wi-Fi password. If I don’t enter it, I have no internet connection. What’s interesting is: If I disable and re-enable Wi-Fi in the network manager, it automatically reconnects to the known network without asking for the password again. Alternatively, a system reboot also restores the Wi-Fi connection automatically. I have already seen o…

I'm trying to run Armbian on my Rock 5B by booting off an SD card and having root on NVMe. Here's what I've done: First, on another Linux system: Create a gpt partition table on the NVMe. Allocate 256 MB for a /boot (one of these days, booting from NVMe will settle down, but for now...) Allocate the remainder of the NVMe to /. Use dd to copy the filesystem from the SD card to the NVME's root partition. Use gparted to change the UUID of the NVME root and expand the filesystem to use the available space. Alter the armbianEnv.txt file to point to the NVME's UUID. Install the SD and NVMe cards on the Rock. When I boot the Rock, i…

Hello, I am having a lot of fun making my first apps with python and tkinter... and with my recent good experiences with LCD TFT displays, I want to create an "appliance" project. I can start non-GUI apps with systemctl service files, and they run with the proper user permissions... and I don't worry about giving it root access. But I would like to do the same with GUI apps. They would be full screen, 320x240 on the LCD TFT. All I can do now is: * start with armbian minimal (with orange pi zero in my case) * add the DTS for LCD and touch, and the ko for spi-gpio (as seen in my threads in the orangepi zero section) …
