Good day to all. I have installed clean "Armbian_22.02.1_Tinkerboard_focal_current_5.15.25.img.xz" 1. When running a sudo apt update below error appears: `Redirection from https to 'http://armbian.hosthatch.com/apt/dists/focal/Release' is forbidden [IP: 173.45.128.12 443] Reading package lists...

On my odroidxu4 with armbian stretch, I had hard time rebooting without having one disk of the 4-drives RAID5 lvm device being kick out of the array on next boot.

Hello all, earlier I booted up the board (Radxa Dragon Q8B) when it prompted to reboot & update and I allowed it. The update took uncharacteristically long. The OS is running off an SD card. There is no SSD or eMMC installed. Turns out it wiped the install clean. There was about 20 GB of free space prior to the update, now there's 46 GB. For some reason the user itself and the wifi login are still there, but everything in the home directory is gone. Installed applications and the driver for the wireless card are gone. Chrome add-ons are still there, but reset. The Downloads folder now has Armbian_26.8.1_Radxa-dragon-q8b_resolute_vendor_7.0…

I installed Armbian Bionic Desktop 4.4 on the emmc module and I also have an SD card in. When I get to the desktop the card looks like it has been mounted by the current user (I'm new to Linux) - it was listed under /media/myuser with myuser as user and group -, so I changed /etc/fstab to have it mounted during system boot, by adding: /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard This is what lsblk says: mmcblk1 179:0 0 14.7G 0 disk └─mmcblk1p1 179:1 0 14.5G 0 part / mmcblk1boot0 179:16 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk1boot1 179:32 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk1rpmb 179:48 0 4M 0 disk mmcblk0 …

Hi, Appreciate any help on this :) Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Problem: iiyama Prolite E2783QSU will not display resolution higher than 1080p on RockPro64, I'm sure it's supposed to go up to 4k Background: I've spent the last few days getting Armbian booting from NMVe which is all good and got Desktop up and running with MATE and over coming issues with brisk menu not working. I have other issues than this but will post separately for those. My Background: Last used Unix back in 1997, just 86ed Windows from my life, this is interesting but harder than I thought lol.

A coworker of mine gave me a 5 inch hdmi touchscreen (waveshare knockoff). Getting hdmi to work properly on my orangepi pc was done in a few minutes. But the touchscreen drives me nuts. It came with a xpt2046 so I loaded the ads7846 driver I compiled from fbtft. No error messages, but also no response to a touch. It took me a week to finally realize that not the wiring, the driver or Armbian is was the problem, but the touch digitizer was. So I ordered a new one on my favorite Chinese site and installed it on the lcd. Finally I got a response to touching the screen, but I was not able to calibrate it with xinput_calibrator. After manually calibrating it …

Hello every body, I need some help, I can't install Citadel mail server on my Nanopi duo2 board. Previously i try to install ISPconfig mail server on default armbian-config but not work, then i try Citadel because I already have a little familiarity with this program.

Well, I just bought a CloudShell direct from HarkKernel in South Korea. It was delivered and assembled. However, the LCD display - a major selling point - is non-functional. It appears to require a kernel module specific to the odroid xu4 specific kernel, that isn't available in the stock kernel. I am attempting to compile a 4.x.y kernel from hardkernel sources. So far, 4.14 doesn't appear to work. I want to run Open Media Vault 6, but currently, it only supports Armbian Bullseye, not any Ubuntu, etc. Armbian/OMV works for everything except he LCD. I am attempting to remedy the issue, but it will mean downgrading my kernel, which may ca…

I do not have petitboot installed. I ran the Armbian buster with OMV5 for over a year. I decided to make a clean install and booted Armbian bullseye 11. I changed hostname and rebooted (curiously reboot doesn't reboot the hc4, why?). I used armbian-config to install OMV. Installation completed, brought me back to armbian-config and prompted to reboot. I hit reboot (then was forced to power cycle as hc4 won't come back to life after a soft-boot?). Note that I was able to power cycle and get a good boot BEFORE omv installed but not after. At that point Odroid hc4 never comes back online. I've been through this 3 times today. I gave it as…

Is there any description how to setup the boot logo? I tried what I found: in build/packages/blobs/splash change logo.png and run command line with "BOOT_LOGO=yes", it doesn't work. After I found "What we use now is plymouth". OK. Does it work in compile time? I don't have plymouth after installing armbian in a docker container. How should I use plymouth (if it is the only way) to make a boot logo in compile time?

Actual booting from eMMC and system including OMV from Sata SSD. Running boot & system from eMMC should be possible now and I would like to transfer system from SSD to eMMC without losing my config and starting from scratch again. That way I'll have a sdd beside the hdd for OMV. How can I manually transfer the system including OMV from SSD to eMMC and what configuration files need to be altered?

Hey everyone, I am using a odroid c2 board with Armbien Buster image. I have a cheap bluetooth dongle and a usb sound card connected to the board. I am trying to use the board as bluetooht to aux input for my car. The board is working as expected when the a2dp profile is in use.

Hi everybody, I'm using the Armbian Buster mainline based kernel 5.10.y image on https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-plus-2-h3/ but I also tried the Focal one. I searched the forum deeply and I saw that someone in the past (forum post closed, otherwise I would have continued there) managed to have BT working by "faking" the /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin, that boot tries to load having error -2, copying the ap6212/fw_bcm43438a1.bin in its place. But it seems that it only works with legacy images, infact, with my mainline image I keep failing. Which legacy image should I look for? I was thinking that https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero…

Attempting to install ZFS. But it seems that the latest linux headers are linux-headers-5.10.0-31-arm64. I am not able to install ZFS. Pretty sure I need to lower the kernel to match. sudo modprobe zfs modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.39-current-rockchip64 Installed linux-image-5.10.0.31-arm64. I also sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-5.10.0.31-arm64. But I do not know how to set the kernel to boot. Search tells me to use armbian-config. Had to install it and after running it the "Other" option is missing. There isn't any options to change the kernel.

Hi I would like to add Armbian version to banner after login (eg. v5.10) to be sure that I'm using latest version. Is this value stored somewhere in the filesystem? I already checked: /proc/version /etc/debian_version /etc/os-release but it's not there. I found it in /etc/armbian.txt but this is plain text file and parsing it to fetch the value is a little overkill. Is there a better place where I can find it?

Hi. I have my orange PI OPT 3 LTS running Ubuntu.. The system is installed in /dev/mmcblk0 (I believe that's the SD card?), and I just checked with gparted that it still has the Android it came with on /dev/mmcblk2 (I believe that's the internal memory?) Anyway, I would like to move Ubuntu to the external USB HDD I added. I created a /dev/sdb2 for it in ext4. I launched nand-sata-install a few times, but I'm afraid of picking the wrong options.. Which options should I pick to ensure that it does not destroy my Ubuntu installation in the process? Many thanks, -t

I'm trying to create an access point on a Tinker Board S with a MT7601U wifi dongle, since the wifi that it incorporates I could not make it work. When I configure the AP, this message appears. One of your wireless drivers are on a black list due to poor quality. AP mode might not be possible! Is not supported in Armbian? is one of the hardware devices tested?

Hi @all, i built this: https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Lyric-Monitor-for-Stage/ running armbian-OS. In order to have an external power switch, i made this: using pin 7 and gnd and it works! the script is successfully doing a shutdown. but, to run that program ("pushbuttons.c" compiled to "pushbuttons") in anything other than root, he wants the password. and i really dont know how to add it to autostart (in "settings"), because i dont know how to fill in the "command" field. like "sudo ./program"? Thank you so much für any help.

Different trusted USB wifi modules are available at https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ , but my concern is trying to choose between different wireless modes such as 802.11 b or 802.11 n for example and type of wireless connection as access point or ad-hoc. through iw command you might be able to switch between modes and types of wireless connection but it is also related to the usb WIFI module whether it allows such an operation or not ! already purchased a usb wifi module (but not of the trusted ones) and it did not allow me to choose between modes but was able to choose ad-hoc. so does any of these https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ usb WIFI modules …

This is my first post, however, I have been an avid reader of this forum for a few years. Now I have come to the stage where I cannot find a solution searching so I had to sign up. I have been fighting on this issue for a few days now, and keep on having the same issue. I am not a linux guru, but I know my way around the basics, and ignorant on the rest.

I've got a quick question about the Armbian Ubuntu Xenial install. I want to make sure I'm not in the wrong here before looking around for where to submit a bug report. It seems that at least on the C2s, & NanoPI Neos that I have that the /etc/resolv.conf file is not a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. That doesn't seem right to me, is there a reason it's a regular file and not a link? It messes things up when moving the computer to different networks as it doesn't update with new DNS settings. Possibly more glaringly it could be a security issue for those unaware or not paying attention while using things like openvpn.

Hello everyone. We have checked the forum extensively but have not found a good answer to our problem. Our system is based on a Orange Pi Zero Plus (512 MB), and it is running nicely. However, after some time, (10 - 15 days from the last boot) or /tmp directory gets full and most of the system is not operational. Only solution we have found for the moment is rebooting the system. This is the output of df -h in one of our systems which only shows 7% usage. This usage figure increases day by day. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 174M 0 174M 0% /dev tmpfs 49M 5…

Hello armbian friends, I am not really a beginner but I don't find a fitting forum to ask this. Having manually upgraded the first day it was possible to Bullseye, my MOTD and armbian-release got stuck on the old version. Everything runs very very good, I have a very up-to-date kernel and love it. Any chance I can repair my broken MOTD? What did I do wrong when I changed my sources.list and armbian.list? Kind greetings

I have an Orangepi PC with OS: Armbian_19.11.6_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.4.8_desktop... I'm trying to communicate hardware through the UART1 ports (GPIO198 and GPIO199, respectively pins 8 and 10), but I'm not able to enable the ports, I've tried modify the file "un8i-h3-orangepi-pc-plus.dtb" but I couldn't, I also tried the solution proposed in this topic: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1524-orange-pi-one-how-to-enable-uart/ but I couldn't find the script.bin file in the boot folder... I also tried using Minicom, and the message Offline appears. I need to activate UART1 and configure it with 19200,8,1,N. Any tips?

I'm a complete novice in the area of Linux on phones. I want to use Linux on my oneplus 8t and I am excited to find that armbian has official support for this. But before I install armbian on my phone, I am wondering if I can restore to android after I install armbian. I have another question which may be a bit offtopic: how hard is it to add support for oneplus 8t to Mobile NixOS? Thanks in advance.

My trusty Cubieboard II has been working great for a long time now, but after doing an upgade, it fails to now boot. It operates headless as a simple server for my off-grid home energy system and Lithium battery monitoring. I found I wasn't able to post this over in the A20 section, so hopefully someone from over in that section will come over here to read. Details I still have in my terminal screen, so I can copy to here.

Hi! I've been running two sbc (Odroid HC2) for about 1,5 years. I recently realised that the os it is running on is outdated (Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.14.150-odroidxu4). There is a nextcloud instance running on it and I really (!) like the stability of my setup. So far, I've had one (1) crash in 1,5 years on a system that is running 24/7, maybe heat related in the hot summer. Reboot automatically once a week, nightly off-site backup, login via ssh-keys. So my question is...: Shall I update and if yes shall I do this from a fresh install or is there a built-in way? Thanks!

Hi all, can anyone explain to me how the boot process of an ODROID-HC2 looks in detail, please? for example, my microSD card is /dev/mmcblk1 and it contains only one partition /dev/mmcbl1p1. Questions: a) I think the ODROID-HC2 can exclusively boot from a microSD card, is this correct? Without sdCard the boot process is not possible, right? b) where exactly sits the bootloader? is it in a certain sector of the microSD card and if so where exactly and how long? or does the ODROID-HC2 trying to read at specific addresses and if so where? c) can u-boot only process the first partition of the block device or would it be theoretica…

Does anyone know what sort of latency there is using mainline hw accelerated video encoding on Allwinner H3(H.264/265)? How about latency of mjpeg(if it is supported)? I'm trying to build a system with lowest possible latency.

Hello. I am getting a kernel oops when I setup a masq firewall using firehol. It happenes when a device on the internal net trys anything more than a ping, like loading a web page or doing a speedtest. My network uses interface wlx??? as my external connection to the outside world (internet) and the builtin eth0 as my internal masq’d network (192.168.77.0/24). I am running armbian ubuntu, upgraded (up to date), with the kernel 4.10.0-sun8i and netmanager to configure the interfaces themselves. When I replace eth0 with a cheap usb dongle, everything just works so it seems isolated to the builtin eth0. My eth0 is configured to…

I recently got my OV5640 camera working with an orange pi PC board, but I've found that after a while of leaving it powered on unused, I'm unable to access /dev/video0.

Hi. I would pre-configure a board in a SBC small lan. The board is blind and I have not the cable to config it from outside, i have to config it by txt file to get it online in the lan at the startup. Firt of all I have to write the ip plan of the SBC LAN. I configured one of them (the first) in the lan by a text file called "interfaces" stored in the etc/network. The file contains there few rows: source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Rete Lan auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 gateway 192.168.1.10 # Scheda primaria Wi-fi…

I'm a newbie to the NanoPi M4 and haven't been able to find helpful material regarding my doubts Any help would be appreciated 1. How do I configure the GPIO pins to function as a UART4 TX and RX pins? 2. The level signals of UART4 are of 3V but the supply to the board is 5V. All standard buck converters are of 5V to 3.3V so how would I go about that?

Hi all, I have been playing with a NanoPi Neo and the 2.8" screen with toutchscreen also from friendly Arm on Linux nanopineo 4.11.0-sun8i. Making it work was not very easy since it was the first time I messed with device trees, also add to rewire the screen to use a different pin for the touchscreen chip select since the connector is a column bigger that the neo's. I can provide more information or the dts file if it is of interest to someone. TL:DR: The problem is that the toutchscreen accuracy is not so great especially on the top part of the screen. I see that the ads7846 driver which I'm using has a "model" option which by being set…

When searching the forum on this topic I find a number of hits saying the mainline kernel does not have support for the SOC codec, but these topics are kind of old and I find it hard to find the current status. In the past I have been able to use the onboard audio codec. However, I have been forced to upgrade and I now find that with the kernel I get from Armbian, I do not see the audio (ALSA) device nodes for the codec, only for HDMI. When looking at the kernel configuration, it should be in (SUN8I_CODEC and SUN8I_CODEC_ANALOG are both 'y'), but alas. Does anyone know if and how I can enable the audio codec so I can have analog audio output? I bui…

Hello I've seen threads about this topic before but can't get around if Armbian for Tinkerboard S is working with the official Raspberry Pi display? I have it working great with TinkerOS, problem is that I'm missing some kernel modules like CAN, CAN-raw and SLCAN which ThinkerOS doesn't ship with. That's why I would like to run Armbian instead. This is the display: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-touch-display/ Can anyone tell me how to get the display working with Armbian?

How Rebuild the kernel, if i have in armbian headers kernel orange pi zero? I want rebild on arm board. I use old kеrnel 3.4.113

Hey, I'm new to armbian/linux and want to use an Orange Pi Zero 2 as a cheap OctoPi alternative. Bare Octoprint is already working, but I don't get the MJPG-Streamer for my usb-webcam to run. The OPiZ2 is running Focal 22.05.3 (5.15.48) and is up to date. (I didn't choose Bullseye because it's on an older kernel and the psu control plugin might need 5.05+) The instruction I found said: cd ~ sudo apt install subversion libjpeg62-turbo-dev imagemagick ffmpeg libv4l-dev cmake git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer.git cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. make but I get: "E: Unable to locate pack…

I I'm getting a 502 Bad gateway when I'm trying to run apt update on the http://apt.armbian.com/dists/noble/InRelease repository. I checked the forum and didn't see a server maintenance notice. And the arbianmonitor seems to fail to post the report too. Is there an infrastructure problem?

After the update, the welcome screen shows Armbian 24.5.1, but when I log out of the shell, it displays Armbian 24.8.2 (please see the attached screen). Is this normal ?

Hi there, First of all, have a nice christmas. Especially you Igor, im still amazed by what armbian is. I'd like to ask a question regarding a problem i'm having. Last two days i've been setting up my rockpi 4 as a replacement server. I had everything configured correctly and working. I left the rock on over night and discovered this morning that i couldn' t connect over SSH and vnc/rdp anymore. Since i couldn't connect and the rock was headless i pulled the power an forced a reboot. After the reboot i could connect to ssh but not over rdp or vnc. My app jump desktop gives the following error: Could not create SSH tunnel. Please make su…

Hello, Amrbian devs, Thank you for the efforts first. I'm fiddling with some of SBC including PineH64, Rock Pi4... Sometimes, I have to provide a new kernel or add modules. So after the kernel modules are installed. How can I edit boot loader to start it. I discover /boot/boot.cmd and boot.scr contains a line "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" So how can I start another kernel image? Is the init ramdisk is required? Thank you.

Dear all, on my ODROID-HC2 Armbian Bullseye installation there is a script /usr/bin/wireguard-manager and I'm curious what this is about at all. In my opinion only wireguard-tools is "ok" to setup a wireguard VPN configuration but no "wireguard" package or such a script which installs a bunch of stuff and weird things. Unfortunately I was new to wireguard and this was my 1st configuration and setup I did. I discovered the mentioned script and executed "wireguard-manager --help" which against my expectation started an installation of different stuff. I didn't cancel this because I was afraid in ending in half-baked misconfigured states. It did "apt …

Hello, guys. I am really enjoying Armbian on PBP. I have tried upgrading to Ubuntu 19.10 and it runs fine, just have one problem on apt update (also when I change the sources.list to disco) I found that changing some script file or modifying some symlink should solve it, but I am not sure how to do that.

Hi, All! I have modified w1-therm kernel module. Now device directory contains two more files w1_read and w1_convert_all. You can read sensor memory without triggering temperature conversion using the first one and you can trigger the temperature conversion on all sensors (implemented using "skip ROM") with the second one. I needed this modification to speed up sensor reading. Now I start temperature measurement on all sensors (it takes 750ms on 18B20) and then read the results. Earlier reading sensor (using w1_slave) required 750+ms for each sensor. Here is the result for my 10sensors 1wire network (using the usual w1_slave required 8.5sec, with new feature…

I apologize if this is not specific to armbian but it's really becoming a problem for me I am using Orange pi Zero LTS board and the Armbian image provided in the official downloads page (Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.10.60.img).

armbian-config seems to be updating every day on my system, which I suspect is unintentional. sudo apt list --upgradable Listing...

I am not shure if this is board specific so I post it here and hope that you might be willing to try this on your board: - I installed audit: apt install auditd - I set up a rule for a file audit should watch: auditctl -w /boot/armbianEnv.txt -p wa - I change or touch the file being watched: touch /boot/armbianEnv.txt - I have a look at the log of audit: cat /var/log/audit/audit.log And then ––– I see nothing... Any hints what's going wrong? My guess is that the kernel might be lacking the audit module?!

Hello, the Nanopi DUO 2 has marked igor as a maintainer but the download section is empty. It's the board removed from support or maybe there is some small bug on portal? best regards Slawek

Hi there, I am a newbie. Just built my first kerne;/uboot for my RockPi S board. I was wondering a few things : * Are the kernel sources online ? For example : linux-source-5.9.16-rockchip64.tar.xz * If I want to add a devicetree overlay and driver code, what is the best way to do that ? Should I ammend the kernel ? Should I create an out of kernel package ? thanks Matt

Hello, I'm new to Armbian. I've recently tried Olimex's image for a13 (https://github.com/OLIMEX/build). I saw (and read) on armbian's guide that there's the possibility to customize images build. I need to add two specific drivers (smsc95xx for my eth interface and uvcvideo for my webcam) to kernel. I can find their sources in build\cache\sources\linux-mainline\linux-5.0.y\drivers, but they are not listed in various "modules.order" files (ok, so that's why my devices doesn't get loaded).

Is there a difference between installing Armbian and then OMV via Softy vs the OMV images?

Hello. I created a HotSpot with my Orange Pi Zero H2 with the latest version of Armbian Bionic. Everything seems to work, but I need the access point to reserve dynamic IPs, ie for a device with MAC address XX.XX.XX.XX.XX I have to reserve and then assign a specific IP address XXX.XXX. XXX.XXX. Any idea how to configure this HotSpot? Do I have to add some commands to the hostapd.conf file or what? Thanks in advance for any help.
