  3. 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?

  4. Just found this: source: https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-threat-research/2024/07/01/regresshion-remote-unauthenticated-code-execution-vulnerability-in-openssh-server source: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/07/regresshion-vulnerability-in-openssh-gives-attackers-root-on-linux/ The vulnerability, which is a signal handler race condition in OpenSSH’s server (sshd), allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) as root on glibc-based Linux systems; that presents a significant security risk. This race condition affects sshd in its default configuration. Are we affected running Armbian ?

From time to time there is a request in the browser to confirm access of the client to the nextcloud server. Howeveer, this doesn't seem to work.

    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?

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

  32. 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!

    Installation of autheila package ("apt install authelia") does does end with error due to /var/log/journal beeing a symlink to /var/log.hdd/journal. Once the symlink is removed and the directory is created instead, the installation can be completed successfully. The symlink can be recreated afterwards and authelia wil steill run normally - until the next package update.

    Hello, Has someone managed to make widevine work properly in armbian for any ARM64 board? I have a orange pi 5 plus board and I'm using armbian with the vendor kernel and I'm struggling to get widevine working without success. I've tried several online tutorials but none of them seem to work (but they also seem to be rather old).

  59. Hello, I have a Medion Chromebook S2015 with a CPU (armv7 processor rev 1 (v7l)) and RAM (2062808 kB). So it's 32-bit. I want to install Linux on it. To do this, I need an armhf architecture. However, under armhf on ARMBIAN, I find (Inovato Quadra, Khadas Edge 2, Khadas VIM4, Mekotronics R58 4X4, Mekotronics R58 HD, Muse Pi Pro, NanoPC T6 LTS, NanoPi M5, Nanopi M6, Nanopi R3S / LTS, NanoPi R76S, Radxa Rock 5B Plus, Radxa Rock 5C and Radxa Rock 5T). What should I select? Are there still 32-bit versions available?

  61. I'm having trouble understanding armbian-install, is this a good place to discuss? Basically, I'd like to understand the menu options better. Probably because it's a generic tool for all devices, the selections aren't clear (to me at least), depending on what device I'm working with. For the most part, all I ever need to do is to copy the working SD image to the eMMC or NVME. Any armbian-install gurus lurking?

Hi all, I just installed Armbian with OpenMediaVault on a Odroid HC4 (v25.8.2 for Odroid HC4 running Armbian Linux 6.12.48-current-meson64), when I tried to disable automatic updates in armbian-config it purged a lot of packages including openmediavault.

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…

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.

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.

    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.
