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?…

Kde connect is a nice toy controlling mouse keyboard of Ubuntu desktop running gnome from android. Can do more things as well.

Using Armbian Bookworm Armbian_23.11.1_Bananapi_bookworm_current_6.1.63 for banana Pi m1. How to replicate: Install Armbian, install the Wireguard package with apt: sudo apt install openresolv wireguard Next restart won't boot. Tried several times, same result. Wireguard itself works fine, until I reboot, of course.

# 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?!?

after i disconnect from ssh of opiz and wait a few hours, after trying to connect nothing happens for ~10 seconds (no network packets from opiz), but after waiting it starts responding and then it works fine until i disconnect and wait again. this is present on opiz in debian armbian 08.23, 11.23, bleeding edge build from yesterday. this is not present on opi pc+ in build 11.23. this doesn't affect any other network services, only affects ssh.

Hello, First, I want to apologize for opening a new topic. (I didn't find any similar topics) I downloaded the Armbian Bookworm CLI software for Banana Pi M2 Zero several times, but the SHA1sum didn't match the one I downloaded.

Hi all, what would be the correct way in recent Armbian distributions to bring up a CAN interface? As far as I'm aware NetworkManager does not support CAN interfaces Ifupdown somehow feels deprecated nowadays systemd-networkd.service seems to be masked by default Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm currently trying to set up an Orange Pi PC, Armbian 23.8 Bookworm. After the first boot via ssh and performing `sudo apt-get update`, I see that the Armbian project seemingly using the official Debian mirrors to update the Debian itself, as well as Yandex mirrors to update the Armbian-specific software ( http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/armbian/apt ). The device connects to the official Debian mirrors without any issue, but can't connect to the Yandex mirrors, since most Ukrainian ISPs enforce censorship by banning major Russian websites, which includes the yandex.ru domain. This leads to this warning after performing `sudo apt-get update`: ``` …

The release blog for Suni mentioned Fast and Safe Updates Is this referring to the streamlining of the apt-get or apt packages, or is there a new update to be used?

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?

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?

Hi all, I've been using Armbian on two Cubietrucks for a decade and had to install the latest version (CLI Armbian 23.8 Bookworm Kernel of Aug 31, 2023) to one of them. The other still runs Buster to my fullest satisfaction. What I noticed, however, is that - among other changes - APM is no longer available. Therefore: Is there any other way to reliably cause HDD spindown after a certain time (say 20 min) even if there's no battery-power mode but 24/7 AC power? Thanks in advance for any help. Giunti

Hi folks, Can anyone confirm which if any boards / cpus have functioning HDMI eARC suport? I've seen OrangePI 5 mentioning they have support, but it's unclear if the software support is there in any way; i assume all rk3588 (or likley hdmi 2.1 certified) boards will have hdmi (hardware) support. Similar with Khadas VIM3L or VIM4; hardware support is mentioned w/o any clarity on the software support. Thanks!

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.

armbian jammy, uptodate a/o yesterday, on 6 pack of bananapi-m5's running a 3d printer farm. You made chrome the default browser, which has port 80 high jacked for all of googles BS. So you can't use chrome for local web page troubleshooting, or to run klipper. localhost:80 is not accessible, neither is the machines fqdn:80. Can this bit of commercial hi-jacking be defeated? FF, installed as a snap and auto-updated nightly works fine, but because its a snap, must be restarted every day. That is a classic PITA. So, how do I make FF's snap the default browser?

Before I do something that breaks forum rules I'd rather ask. Can I post a link to githyb with a script I made to backup sbc:s (incl Armbian ofc)? The reason it even exists is because of when I first started using armbian and wanted something I could backup both rpi os and armbian. Can I post it here or is it prefered to keep it in the "anything" thread? Regards.

Is there a feature or workaround to automate armbian setup at first boot (set root password, set locales, set timezone, etc) ?

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!

Can you include the wireguard module in the kernel, please? It's missing from Armbian 23.05.0-trunk Bullseye with Linux 5.4.239-odroidxu4. This is a required module for the Openmediavault Wireguard Plugin to install correctly (using OMV 6.4.9-1 (Shaitan)) However I'm told that omv 6 requires Debian 11 Bullseye so, if there's an existing Armbian build with it, can you let me know, please?

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 all, according to my research on internet my most-used messenger "signal" ("signal-desktop" on PC) seems to be not yet available on ARM arch and so in Armbian. But as as these info might be somewhat old, let me ask here if this status is correct Thanks for advice!

Does anyone know how to get WireGuard running on an odroid xu4 with armbian debian bookworm? I have tried installing the generic kernel headers in armbian-config but it is not good enough.

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!

How to upgrade armbian from 23.02.2 to 23.5? Shoud I reinstall the os with 23.5 image ? Thanks

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?

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.

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…

Hi! I'm trying to build a cluster of a few Odroid N2+, with Microk8s. I installed and tested it on the first board that I'm designating as the primary node. Now I'd like to setup the others, how do I configure the primary board as a gateway for the others? The primary board has a WiFi connection with internet access, the ethernet connection is then shared with the other boards with a different subnet. I'm very rusty with linux/ubuntu as I haven't used it in years now. I followed this guide (https://linuxhint.com/enable_ip_forwarding_ipv4_debian_linux/) and enable the routing on the main board.

Hey, I've had issues using Wireguard in Armbian. I worked out a method to install but on reinstalls this method has run into problems. I've since developed a new method but am getting a strange error as below. Can anyone interpret this and tell me if it's likely to be problematic and if so is there a way forward? I've searched the Wireguard repository and there doesn't seem to be an arch specific buildset. TIA The /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/1.0.20210219/6.1.11-rockchip64/aarch64/dkms.conf for module wireguard includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built. Skipped.

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’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

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. When I try to open the Display Setting I get the following pop up: Unable to open the Xfce Display Settings. Unable to query the version of the RandR extension being used. What's wrong and how do I fix it ? Thanks.

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…

Hi, I am working on a Armbian image of Jammy with kernel version 5.15.25-flippy with ARMv8 Processor rev 4 (v8I). The video quality of the device is not good and its getting stuck in between and lagging. Can any one suggest me a way out of these please? Thanks Regards, Ajay

I have been running Armbian on a Pinebook Pro without issues. I use the stable distribution, but after an update about a week ago (I think) the Panfrost driver has stopped working. When logging into the desktop environment (Cinnamon) the symptom is a black screen with a cursor visible but nothing else. Checking the logs I see a bunch of lines like: > Mar 20 09:29:05 pine kernel: [ 534.502108] panfrost ff9a0000.gpu: js fault, js=0, status=DATA_INVALID_FAULT, head=0xb9f2b40, tail=0xb9f2b40 If I log in by disabling hardware rendering (choosing "Cinnamon (Software Rendering)") then the desktop does display and work (albeit very slow…

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. …

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?

First, thanks to you guys for the great work you are doing for armbian! I am quite impressed and very happy to be able to run my odroid devices (c2, m1) on the latest kernel with zfs and lxd! What I'm wondering: since there is no such thing as do-release-upgrade in armbian: What are your best practices for upgrades to avoid being forced to always install and configure everything from scratch? Since I run most everything in lxd containers and use zfs on a separate disk, upgrading is as simple as installing/compiling zfs and lxd and restoring the lxd databases, but maybe there is a better approach besides reinstalling and compiling packages?

Hello I'm trying to setup OpenCL on Armbian 22.04 Xfce. I have an Orange Pi 5 board. I observed that there is a libOpenCL.so under /usr/lib/aarch{...} but when I echo "libOpenCL.so" into /etc/OpenCL/vendors/mali.icd, clinfo still says "Number of devices: 0". By the way, on Ubuntu 22.04 Xfce, clinfo works after following the exact same steps. Anyone any ideas? Thanks !!!

Hi, My journald logs are limited to last midnight. I figured out it's related to logrotate.service. When I run it with couple of logs present in /var/log/journal (and passing all tests) they become 0-sized. Then: $ journalctl --verify Journal file /var/log/journal/xxx/system.journal is truncated, ignoring file. PASS: /run/log/journal/xxx/system.journal $ ls /var/log/journal/xxx -lsh total 0 0 -rw-r-----+ 1 root systemd-journal 0 Feb 26 12:10 system@141d4d3509d94af8aeecc18c6e8eec9a-0000000000000001-0005f58e34f3a6c8.journal 0 -rw-r-----+ 1 root systemd-journal 0 Feb 26 12:10 system.journal I've discovered that /var/log/journal is a…

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."

Hi, I have problem with full disk /var/log and to problem is with systemd-journald. I can't understand, how it works. armbian-truncate-logs works fine. When is /var/log more than 75% full, the script truncates a log and files are copied to disk /var/log.hdd -> no problem here before midnight is my /var/log 40% full after midnight is my /var/log 100% full When I was investigating, where the problem was, I found that /var/log.hdd was bigger than the size of my partition /var/log. The biggest folder is /var/log.hdd/journald There are so many files in /var/log.hdd/journald An…

Hi to all, I'm new to this thread, even if it's a little off-topic, somebody can tell me if I can update acestream arm v7 from here https://github.com/sshmanko/acestream-armv7 with shared object files (.so) taken from apk on google play (armeabi v7a)? I have already tried to install apk for android tv and it's work, but now I want switch to armbian.

Hello, I tried to reduce the clock frequency with nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils. I also set the governor to userspace in order to enable direct frequency setting. But there is no effect to be seen with cpufreq-info -o except the governor is switched to "userspace" now. I also tried it with echo 500000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed , but clock frequency did not change. According to the S905X3 datasheet the SoC could even run at 100Mhz... I would appreciate a hint, how to reduce clock speed way below 1GHz, in order to save power consumption Thanks a lot Andy PS: I am run…

Hello to all, In order to be able to export GPIO 414 to turn off USB-Power I wanted to unbind the USB drivers: andreas@odroidc4:~$ lsusb -t /: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/1p, 5000M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/2p, 480M |__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M Both drivers, "xhci-hcd" and "hub" are built into the kernel. The "hub" driver exposes "bind" and "unbind" in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub, so no problem. But the driver "xhci-hcd" has no /sys/bus/usb/drivers/xhci-hcd directory. So I cannot unbind it. …

Hello to all, As I am a beginner, I apologize in advance, if I am asking questions, which are obvious for experienced users...

I am trying to connect to my armbian install (on an orange pi 4 LTS) from OSX (with Xquartz) to run the mythtv backend setup. I didn't install the desktop version of armbian; just the base version, and with the image for this model of pi. connecting by SSH is not a problem, I happily get through. The problem is, both with the -X and -Y options, I can't forward X successfully. DISPLAY doesn't get passed. On the Mac side, it's variously ":0" or something like "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.Cvf3IlZ6rM/org.xquartz:0" (which would have no meaning to another machine). I've set to :0 , :0.0 , mymac.local:0 (after enterin…

Hi! I have a problem with the Banana Pi M2 Zero. I am trying to use its one wire interface, but with no success. I have enabled the w1-gpio module in the armbian-config menu, but I still cannot get it to work. I tried using the neopixels library, within python for the control of the leds. The GPIO as I saw that should work on is GPIO 4, Board pin 7. The neopixel library says that the board is not supported, however it lists the M2 Zero as a possible board interface. I also added to armbianEnv.txt the param_w1_pin=PA6, which is supposed to deliver PWM1 signal as well. Can anyone help me, to get it to work? Thank you in advance!

Haven't found any threads here for setting up libwidevine on armbian. Has anyone had any luck setting it up on armbian 64 bit? I've seen sone snaps and on the raspberry pi OS, they have a package for chromium 32 bit (since there is no libwidevine 64bit yet). Any suggestions?

Hi, i'm Alexandre and I use Armbian on cubox as a multimedia NAS, but now I seem to understand that the cubox is getting too old and the support is almost discontinued...

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 noticed my Armbian has some mitigation activated, however I want to squeeze up the maximum performance from my board, how can I disable Spectre V1 & V2... On X86/AMD you may pass this command to GRUB: `mitigations=off` ; can you do the same with Armbian? And how? Thanks, F.
