Does anyone know how a do-release-upgrade affect an Armbian 24.8.3 installation? Had anyone upgraded to the 24.04.1 LTS release of Ubuntu? Any gotyas when upgrading? Things to do and things to avoid? What changes to allow and which to deny? I've done a release upgrade once, it took a long time and questions were asked and options presented suring the release upgrade process. Obviously I'll take an image of the MicroSD card before I even dream of attempting to use the do-release-upgrade.

Getting an external IP address over network request as part of MOTD info is completle ruined ssh session start when board cant connect to desired server to get this address. It's get_wan_address function inside https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/etc/update-motd.d/30-armbian-sysinfo . You can easy check this just by disable access to internet on you router and try to open new ssh session. After i mask this function call all worked well. Unfortunately i cant figure out how to send issue on GitHub due to redirect to some Google form, so there am i.

Hi, The package torsocks wasn't working and I could not understand why it was not. Torsocks configuration file: /etc/tor/torsocks.conf (default) specifies port 9050 # Default Tor address and port. By default, Tor will listen on localhost for # any SOCKS connection and relay the traffic on the Tor network. TorAddress 127.0.0.1 TorPort 9050 So port 9050 should be visible with netstat, but it was not: $ netstat -at tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:domain 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.54:domain 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN $ Then I tried to enable tor.service, but got an error: …

I have a old Armbian 21.08.1 Buster on a NanoPi NEO and I like to get it fixed. I can only see what is going on though the Serial port on it. It boots up with a lot of things missing. May guess is the swap on the SD card went bad years ago. I like to get this working again it was working real good back then till it did not boot any more. At the end of the boot on the Serial port it looks like this: [FAILED] Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' for details.

Hi, just to be clear I've zero doubt the problem is me but this is a recurring issue and I've been unable to nut it out on my own. I've found (both with bullseye and bookworm) that installing Wireguard borks my system - ie I am unable to boot after install. I'm running headless and therefore am limited diagnostically (I can't say what errors are occurring when attempting to reboot) I realise this'll make my problem frustrating for a lot of folks to engage with but any ideas at all'd be helpful. When first using Armbian a few years back it seemed as though the issue was that the LTS kernel did not include wireguard support and I discover…

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.

At the beginning, can I directly use rk's burning tool to burn Armbian firmware??

I have booted it, generated root and user pw's, generated en-utf8 env, Powered off, copied my /etc/hosts file to it which has hostname and ipv4 address for this., edited /etc/hostname with nano to change it and chattr +i that hostname file so I don't have to redo it every boot. replaced card in bpi-m5. booted up to the new hostname, my pw worked but an ip a is still w/o an ipv4 address which it should get from the hosts file but didn't. . sudo network-manager is not found. Whats next, or what should /etc/network/interfaces look like?

Hi, After a fresh install of the stable Debian minimal/IOT image, creating the first user and switching to it, then installing the docker environment results in a non-functional docker.

Sorry for a n00b questions but I'm confused with Armbian version names 😀 1) I'm using an ARMhf board with a Jammy 6.6. I see ports.ubuntu.com in Apt log. But on which kernel is it based? On the Ubuntu website, I don't see a 6.6 kernel at all. Or is it a kernel from https://www.kernel.org? In armbian-config I see 6.1, 6.6, and 6.7 versions available for download, but all of them are also not listed on Ubuntu's website. Which is the most stable and recommended Armbian version to use? 2) Which version is the next after Jammy? Noble? On the Ubuntu website, I see v24.04, on the Armbian website I see v24.5. Why Armbian version is newer than …

The default /. bashrc over rides any title or name setting set on the command line for all xterm and urxvt terms. This is very ugly and irresponsible behavior. I'm not sure where the source is kept but those lines of code need to be removed. Setting the prompt is one thing, smashing the title and name is something else.

I'm not sure where to report this. I think this is a common problem across distros for arm. I had this same problem with manjaro arm a month ago. On a fresh install of armbian. 24.3 cli. Emacs 28.x is available. It is missing a lot of elpa packages because of out of date gpg keys. It cannot find elpa.gnu packages. It is, for me, completely unable to load and use my emacs configuration. Package-initialize and package-refresh-contents do not fix it. I built the current emacs from source, it's version 29.3 and that works much better.

I need to install some stuff on armbian system, which is installed on SD card and it runs on Orangepi PC board. It includes some sripts, Python libraries, etc and some of them require to be compiled on the fly, and it takes several hours when running on Orange PI. So my idea is to mount SD card on PC and run/chroot into installed system with qemu on Linux. So I will get much better performance and all neccesary steps will be performed much faster. Is it even possible to do that? After installation finishes, SD card will be again used to operate on OrangePI PC board.

Hi, I built a NAS with a Raspberry PI. It runs ARMBIAN 5.46, a SAMBA server and an NFS server. There are also 5 disks that are combined as RAID5. Since yesterday I can no longer log in, neither via SSH nor directly on the Raspberry Pi. When I try via SSH, I get the password query, the start message about the current status and then the connection is closed. When I log in directly to the system, I get the login query (username and password) and then the message "Module is unknown". Then the login request comes again. What can I do without reinstalling the system? Thanks for the help. Jens

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. …

Guys i have an orange pi zero 3 4GB RAM version, with armbian ubuntu running currently with a static ip, and i have installed a vpn service on it and it works wonderfully, but it barely uses all the cores and the ram, so i was wondering about using some kind of virtual machine service like qemu-kvm, lxd or even docker to run virtual machines inside. I know many would say go for docker, although what i need is something closer to a VM than to a container, because i need these VMs to have their very own static ips connected to the network and isolated from the others yet able to send and receive traffic between them and the network, i have read that this kind of behav…

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 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?

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.

And there is no way I can change the resolution and make sure that the composite video output is not used. HELP me

Hello, I encounted an issue with chromium. By default, armbian has PSD (profile-sync-deamon) enabled, and when chromium started, it links the profile dir (~/.config/chromium) to /run/user/1000/chromium-user However, it breaks the cookies. If I reboot the box, and start chromium to visit a website I logged in, the login session was lost. I took me much time to understand the reason, finally I found it's the symbolic link. The temp solution for me is that I disabled the psd service, and the profile directory won't become a symbolic link. Now it works well. Next, I tried to find if it is psd or the symbolic link. I copied the profil…

Orange pi Zero 2 Armbian 24.2.1 Bookworm CLI never shows armbian-config after first restart I tried loading the sd card multiple times. However, as soon as the linux board is restarted it does not go ahead with this command "sudo armbian-config" The cursor goes to next line.Only if i press ctrl+c it goes back to the prompt.

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. My system now runs the software it was built for, and i love having complete Debian for development, maintenance and debugging. However I would like to have the option of making the system more like an embedded system most of the time : for most of its life it's running a custom application that gets video from a camera, h264 encodes it and sends it and some other data out over a data link. When it's in this mode it would be great if it was more like a buildroot type syst…

I'm working on arambian 5.8.5-sunxi I'm building a kernel module and I need linux-headers-5.8.5-sunxi This version is not in the repositories. I installed linux-headers-5.8.0-sunxi, my module is built, but does not start. I can’t update kernel version 5.8.5 to a new one, because I’m using a 2000 OrangePi PC Plus device Where can I find the linux-headers-5.8.5-sunxi package?

i have 2 USB LTE modems (quectel ec25) and i most of the time i get "wwan0" (modem 0) and "wwan1" (modem 1) network interface names, but sometimes they switch to "wwan0" (modem 1) and "wwan1" (modem 0), sometimes i get "wwx*" interface name on one of them and "wwan1" on the other, this is very sad ;(. How can i get "wwx*" for both of them? modems are connected after the system is already started im using latest jammy cli image on opi zero, the only thing i did is installed "modemmanager" and created 2 gsm connections in networkmanager

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.

Hello, I am a new user and have downloaded Armbian on LePotato AML-S905X-CC. I am looking for a way to get Firefox to start up in kiosk mode with a specified website, but can't seem to do it. Does anyone know how I can get Firefox to start up in kiosk mode with a specified website?

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.

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

Hello, this is weird. With armbian 23.8.1 I can access the gpio-pins of the raspberry 4b. With (current) armbian 24.2.1 neither wiringpi (gpio -v) works nor any direct access (like echo "4" > /sys/class/gpio/export) The only difference I can find is the version of armbian. Please give me a hint on how to get gpio-access working with the current armbian. THX Edit: with raspbian it works (echo "4" > /sys/class/gpio/export and cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value), so apparently I used the correct method.

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...

Was using a 5.15.x version of Arabian on an orange pi 4, and upgraded to latest 6.7.x image seems to have broken low level usb (specifically USB to ACM devices). Used the following command to reset an STM32 device over USB (stm32 is connected directly to USB and shows up as a ttyACM0 device in linux) python -c 'import termios; termios.tcsendbreak(3, 0)' 3>/dev/ttyACM0 this worked great but now no longer does. Any ideas? Anyway we can test if its an updated driver issue by reverting to older usb driver or possible a kernel issue? Seems to be a Armbian specific issue, since ubuntu on amd64 system with 6.x kernel works fine …

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 am using the latest Armbian Noble image (version 6.6.8) on my Banana Pi CM4. For my application, I am utilizing the Linux UART (/dev/ttyAML0), which is currently printing dmesg logs on this port. Is there a way I can disable dmesg debug logging and exclusively use /dev/ttyAML0 for my application? Thanks.

I am about ready to shoot my want to be server. I have an Ubuntu samba server running a public share on my LAN. The share has no username or password required to make it windows friendly.

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…

Hello i use octoprint on my orange pi with armbian. Now i want to get multiple octoprint instances. so i use docker. i found many tutorials in the web The problem: i need to set udev rules for my usb connection of each 3d printer. I found many tutorials too. But my quesstion: can i detect the usb infos from the usb connection, when i use a usb port and connect the printer? Does udev_rules works with passive and active usb hub? Cause i would prefer to use a passive usb hub thank you

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?…

Basic tool to change screen orientation and its touch input on gnome wayland desktops. Built for Gnome Wayland and displays without automatic touch input rotation after orientation change. Sadly xrandr and xinput are things of the past in times of wayland. And since I mounted a FHD touchscreen to my rock-5b which can be rotated, this caused some trouble for me. Mabye useful fur other people mounting displays with touch support on their SBC's in crazy spots 😛 Basically it's just a combination of gnome-randr.py and creating a udev rule with calibration matrix. Fun project to test out chatGPT 😀 https://github.com/fraz0815/gptouch

# ISSUE * Using armbian-config -> softy -> install Syncthing fails after message saying settings for inotify are changing * No further output * Control-C returns control However, my password was changed?!? Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy I rebooted into SD card version of Armbian that was used to write to eMMC and confirmed my password is correct. It appears the script to install Syncthing is changing my password so that I cannot use the system?!?
