Hello. I faced with a problem, I can't disable ipv6 completely on Armbian 23.05.1. Orange Pi PC. Tried to use armbian-config to disable ipv6 in Network menu, but no luck, apps can use it at the moment netstat -tulpn | grep ::: gives me udp6 0 0 :::53 :::* 1134/pihole-FTL udp6 0 0 :::111 :::* 1/init Thanks in advance.

Hi, I noticed I have several /sbin/agetty threads running on my BananaPi. I don't need serial console so my question is how to disable it? I am using Bananian.

Hi, I'm trying to run with a PREEMPT_RT kernel to get a real-time (lowest latency as possible) performance. But in addition to the PREEMPT_RT patch, I want to make sure the system doesn't go to sleep (or using power save modes) to avoid additional wake-ups latencies (that the PREEMPT_RT patch cannot reduce). I've reviewed the AXP209 datasheet and tried to understand if I can somehow disable the system from going to sleep, but I didn't find the answer for that. I do know that register 0x31 can control the entrance to sleep mode if we write '1' to bit-3, but I can't prevent other drivers or applications from doing it. Question: Is th…

Hello, I thought there is dphys-swapfile so I tried to disable it. sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall sudo update-rc.d dphys-swapfile disable But dphys-swapfile is not installed for swap file. How can I disable swap in armbian completely? Is it enough to just remove this line "/var/swap none swap sw 0 0" from fstab?

I have a similar question as asked here... https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2914-how-to-display-foreign-fonts/ I live in India and visit Hindi / Marathi websites. There are just boxes in the web browser. The script is called "devnagari". Is there a similar command as mentioned in that post?

I live in Thailand and the default Google search goes to the Thai servers. Thai language is displaying as just boxes in the web browser. How can I install Thai fonts so web pages display correctly that have Thai characters in them? Thanks in advance for helping.

RPi has this interrupt driven GPIO input detection GPIO.add_event_detect(pin_number, GPIO.BOTH, callback=callback_function) Orange Pi has already this python GPIO function https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 But I see only gpio.input(pin_number) function for GPIO input detection Anybody can answer whether possible to substitute RPi interrupt driven GPIO input detection?

I'm trying to compile Qt5 on my system, following this guide, got the "E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list" message. After some Google, I know you have to enable "Source code" in software-properties-gtk to use "apt build-dep", but I can't check the source code options in there. ps. armbianmonitor -u didn't gave me a URL, it detected some sort of networking problem.

How to enable desktop in Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y IMG ??

Hi, I'm new to Armbian and this is my first time ever compiling any Linux system. I'm sorry to bother you with such a basic question, but I just don't understand. I want to enable a kernel module. Upon browsing the kernel configuration utility menus, I don't see this functionality anywhere. But if I run search with '/', I find this, this is the module I want: How do I now proceed to enable it? Or make sure that it's enabled (if present by default)? Also, what's the meaning of =y and =m? It's listed in the resulting .config file as =y, just as the search shows.

Hi, I'm trying to enable the I2C at the U-BOOT stage, but so for with no success. I'm using Lamobo-R1 (Allwinner A20), but I guess that general tips from similar boards (Banana PI etc.) are still very welcome. I read these posts, and tried what has been suggested here, but with no success I2C control in u-boot: Orange Pi Zero enable i2c at u-boot for NanoPi Neo2 u-boot with I2C This is what I've done so far: I've modified the u-boot device tree to enable the I2C bus (I did the same with the kernel device-tree, and here it does work!!) I've added to Lamobo_R1_deconfig the next configurations: CONF…

Hello, A while back i was using my rock64 as a media player running armbian with some success. Since a hiatus and reinstall of the latest armbian focal mainline release, the i2s output no longer works. I can get output on the 3.5mm jack, but not on the RCAs of the DAC board. I spent some time playing around the fdtget/fdtput with no success as i don't really know what i'm doing in that space. Does anyone know how to enable I2S? Volumio got mentioned allot in my google searches, so i tried that and viola the DAC works again. volumio@volumio:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDMI…

Hello, I've been playing on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an I2S audio amplifier and could play music from it. Now I want to add more devices to experiment with multi-room systems. The only other system with I2S support I have here is a NanoPi NEO. It has dedicated I2S pins so that shouldn't be too complicated. I thought. But it doesn't work. 'aplay -l' says "no soundcards found" and 'speaker-test -c2' essentially says the same. 'armbian-config' doesn't have a switch to enable I2S, only SPDIF, which sounds plausible considering that the SPDIF pin is multipurpose while the I2S pins are not. A web search for several terms didn't bring up something useful.…

I STFW now for hours but didn't find a solution to this: When I login to my new installed OdroidXU4 image of armbian minimal it says: [ Kernel and firmware upgrades disabled: armbian-config ] # armbian-config gives: 'command not found' So I searched for a way, a hint, an instruction how to enable those 'Kernel and firmware upgrades' without having to install 'armbian-config' with no avail. How can I archive this? Thank you in advance; Gerry

Hello Everyone: I am trying to install ARMBIAN on Orange Pi5B's EMMC,but ARMBIAN could not recognize it. According to this article,it should be caused by something wrong in dtb file. Could I fix it by armbian-config's dtc editor?? Thanks anyway!!

Hi. I'm using CubieTruck with Armbian Jessie, attached with a Sata disk. I have tried these method to run hdparm when the system reboots, but none of them was successful. /etc/hdparm.conf /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/hdparm_set Finally, I chose the /etc/rc.local file, and add the hdparm command. hdparm -B 127 -S 242 /dev/sda However, it is not working always. I rebooted several times, and check the APM status with 'hdparm -B /dev/sda', the results vary. Sometimes it shows APM_level = not supported, but some other times APM_level = 127, as I specified. I don't know what was wrong about the command. ** I've found out that hddtemp(…

On H3, this can be done by editing script.bin That file has been replaced by Device Tree on H5 board, /boot/orangepi/OrangePiH5orangepi.dtb However, many have reported that editing that file can not enable RCA, see https://github.com/OrangePiLibra/OrangePi_H5SDK/issues/7 So what should I do to enable it? Is there an easy way to do it without compiling the kernel?

Hi all, Is there any working way to enable detailed logs from uboot? I am using fresh main branch (latest commit is 4648add1450c1b26bb29bf412ef054b0e978947d) .

Hello! This thread here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/3728-varlog-varloghdd/ triggered the question in me how I could extend the log2ram. My problem is the following: I have installed syncthing. The default in armbian runs it as root - which is not recommended for syncthing, see here: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/running-syncthing-as-root/6316! So I downgraded the syncthing daemon to a standard user account "syncthing". In order to enable a non-root user to write logfiles it's common practice to create a subdir /var/log/syncthing/ and give it write rights for syncthing. This works, however my logfiles stay completely empty! Never…

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this question. I just installed Armbian onto a Odroid XU4 and it looks great but I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I can't paste more than about 146 characters into the terminal. I'm logged in over SSH. I'm trying to create a text file by pasting the contents in from my mac's clipboard and every time it only pasts the last ~140 characters of the text. I've tried everything and searched everywhere and can't figure out where this is being limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated : ) Joel.

hey guys how I can fix this error on armbian I just checked StackOverflow and many other sites but still the same any help? Thanks, Best Regards

I installed the Armbian desktop environment via armbian-config. Then I disabled it, and I saw that many of the packages were uninstalled by my next "apt upgrade". I want to install them again, but armbian-config only lets me "enable" or "disable" the Desktop now. It won't install anything anymore. So my question is how do I redo what armbian-config did during the first time, to reinstall all Armbian desktop files?

Somehow I don't get it. If I boot Armbian it never has a verbose startup. I I check the script it looks like at startup there should be a /boot/.verbose file. There is.... I don't see a env variable to get this done... So I need some help. Could anyone tell me how to get this done?

Hi there, I have too many SBCs running Armbian with very recent kernels (even two Raspberry Pi 3B), and I love the consistency of my herd. I will change job next month, and I will at last be able to have a Linux machine as my daily driver... The thing is, I will need Windows too for video editing so that I need to keep it available when needed. I was thinking of Manjaro or Linux Mint for the freshness of their kernels (as the laptop hardware is pretty recent), but I gave a try yesterday at Armbian on x86_64, and it went almost well. I did not go as well as @NicoD's attempt in his latest video, but it is encouraging anyhow. So... Is there anything like…

Hi, I've installed Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome from https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/ on my new Orange Pi 5. Unfortunately, it looks ugly compared to Ubuntu on my x86_64 PC. The main problem is the irregular use of occasional single-colour icons - for example the trash-can in the dock. Is it possible to make Armbian 23.02 Jammy Gnome not use these single-colour icons, and use Ubuntu icons throughout?

I have to use older version of armbian which i can get from archive. Unfortunately then i cant get the linux-headers via the armbian-config tool, i.e. the /usr/src directory keeps empty.

I'm trying to build an image for an Olimex A13-Som board. So far it starts booting, but halts when it gets to: "Starting Raise network interface...".

I quite can't figure out how to get it to move past that point - anyone got a suggestion? Regards.

I have several rock64, rpi, and opi boards but only one ftdi232 serial adapter. Since not each board has hdmi output or in some cases it is buggy a serial connection is the only way for me to see what's going on. If I remove the adapter from a running board and plug it in immediately again I still get serial output, however, if I plug it in after a while I don't get any output. Any ideas what could be the reason and how to fix this?

On Xenial A64 I added an entry for a LUKS partition into /etc/crypttab (after installing cryptsetup which added its stuff to uBoot). But at boot I don't get asked for a password If I add a timeout in crypttab, boot continues with a rescue console, if not it hangs forever. Other than that I have no clue what's going on, journalctl only shows "systemd-cryptsetup failed, status 1" obviously because no password was given. I also added dm-crypt to modules and called update-initramfs, but that didn't change anything

I tried several times but failed.

Hi, I've got an Odroid HC2 with Armbian Buster and OMV on it, and the SD card I used it with got corrupted. So I salvaged all the files from it and backups, and restored the whole file structure onto a new SD card, with an ext4 MBR primary partition. Now, my concern is, how can I make this bootable? I can boot the HC2 off a throwaway newly installed Armbian, and access the target SD card through a USB card reader. I could google that armbian-config is used to install the bootloader, but apparently it can only do that to the card which has been used to boot the device in the first place. Any suggestions? thanks

I have a 5" 800x480 TFP401 display which the current armbian can't drive, and I have no idea how to fix that. My EDID is identical to his. I'm a total armbian noob and half linux noob and have no idea where to start or what all the used terms mean (u-boot, dpms, ...) or they come with random patches or links to github changesets that I have no idea what to begin with. All I know is how to compile Igor's kernel, change existing patches in his repo, and burn it (as image, not u-boot) to an SD card, all because there is a nice tutorial for it. When people start talking about anything else I have no idea what to do with that information. I tried to mod…

I also tried changing PRIMARY_DIRECTION line to ="both" but I don't get any…

Hi All, I'm planning to use an RK3399-based system-on-module for an embedded application, and would like some advice about the work required to produce an Armbian build that runs on it. The SoM is made by Graperain ( https://www.graperain.com/ARM-Embedded-RK3399-System-On-Module-Gf/ ), and they have provided an SDK which is clearly an old copy of the Rockchip's github repo (4.4 kernel) with some unidentified tweaks to get it working on this board (including .dts files and presumably some bootloader stuff?). I realize this particular board is likely not of interest to the community, but I figure the general discussion around getting a new board running may be. …

Hello. I have been struggling with creating a local build environment that will be guaranteed to work today, next month, next year etc. My hardware is Radxa-Zero and I want to run kernel 6.1.23. Currently I find that the build environment, in various ways, breaks the build over time. I've been chasing a stable build for kernels 6.1.23, 57, 58, 59. The build environment, by default, grabs the latest 6.1.y kernel, which is no good for me. My root FS and DTB are for 6.1.23 and I don't want to keep updating everything just because I need to make some kernel configuration changes.

Help would be appreciated! E: The repository 'http://apt.armbian.com/hirsute/main hirsute-utils Release' does not have a Release file.

I've just installed armbian to Pinebook Pro's eMCC using the full-disk encryption helper script from https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen-geek-tools The said script was executed inside an armbian installation in an sd card with official Pinebook Pro image. The eMCC installation almost worked - it boots to graphical desktop, however there's no wifi and bluetooth. I don't have any other way to connect the laptop to internet. I guess the way to fix this is to boot the sd card again because it has internet, then open the encrypted disk manually and chroot to its root, then run some command - but I don't know which one! Please help.

Can i issue a command my self from the terminal to get it my self? Thanks!

Long story short, I accidentally removed all the contents of the /boot folder 😢. I'm running minimal Armbian 24.5.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.43-vendor-rk35xx on Orange pi 5 plus. It all started with a failed apt update indicating there wasn't enough space in the boot partition. The update was trying to install 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx kernel, so I decided to remove the old one from the boot to free up some space. Instead, I accidentally applied 'rm -r' to the entire /boot folder. My SBC is working fine now, but I'm afraid it won't boot on next restart, so I'm looking for a way to recover the files. So far, I performed apt upgrade, which put the new…

I have compiled OpenCPN Marine Chart plotter and navigation software for the Orange Pi PC with the Mali graphics acceleration. It seems to be working fine. I am trying to document the process and possibly make a prebuilt image available at opencpn.org. http://opencpn.org/ocpn/Install_Orange_pi_Allwinner I am not happy with the name they gave me for the page. And the details at: http://kb7kmo.blogspot.com/2016/04/opencpn-on-orange-pi-allwinner-h3-arm.html My question is how should I reference armbian? And how should I reference the hardware? Since it appears that a number of these boards are very similar and would probably require the same steps on the …

OrangePi Lite with an extra USB-WiFi-stick I managed to set up an WiFi AP with Armbian-config, Then the system overwrote the file /boot/armbianEnv.txt with garpage and the AP does not work anymore. ( I'm not sure if that was the reason) Now I want to kill the AP to set up a new AP with another USB-stick. There seems to be no tool to remove / kill / forget the old setup.. How to do this ?

Hello, I'm new here. I started using the armbian OS 2 days ago, and I'm facing some problems when running some web-server transfers due to lack of space on /tmp. By default /tmp is mounted on RAM, and due to low space many operations fails.

Recently upgraded kernel from 5.7 to 5.8.6-sunxi Unfortunately, got few kernel panics today. How to rollback to previous?

If I understand the custom-image script is run as a chroot after the image is built. So didn't see anything specifically in the docs but can I ONLY run (from compile script) the custom image script on an already already built image (in /output/images)? Along the same lines can I chroot at any time to the image via the compile script? I should mention that I am using the docker container build for arm on my amd machine. (i.e. ./compile.sh docker.... )

How to run SoftFloat based binary in OrangePiPC ? I have flashed my OrangePiPC with "Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.8.5.img.xz".

Hello Community! File /boot/orangepi/OrangePiH5orangepi.dts is not self-explanatory.. :-( Is there any documentation on how to define GPIO.21 for example for DIGITAL OUTPUT with initial "Logical ONE" at a BOOT time? It will control Triac with 220 Volts on it. IT MUST BE EXACTLY AT HIGH LEVEL AT A BOOT TIME. How to do this? It should be in OUT mode. Any help appreciated!... Regards, Ellad

Hi. I am digging many things with armbian so I install fresh armbian and many applications so many times. So I am making a long script to install many applications and edit many configuration. When it asked "Yes/On" on text prompt, I use "#echo yes | apt install vim". It works well. But when I install samba, it ask text prompt "yes/no" at first and then with dialog box "yes/no". So I tried "#echo yes | echo no | apt install samba". But it doesn't work. How can I send "yes/no" to dialog box in bash shell??

Don't get me wrong i use SAMBA because i have not played so much with NFS. I agree with you, i have my weekly battle VS. SAMBA when my NAS reboot, the remote shares do not stay in the same mounted folder after reboot. It is in (OMV). It could be you had some nice tips? It was because of that i asked ;-) I have read alot of articles about NFS. So only if you had the golden trick or something you use in the daily? Thanks.

I use a currently fully updated Armbian on an ODROID-C2. I start tigervnc like this in /etc/crontab: @reboot linuxfan bash -lc 'vncserver -local host no' My ~/.vnc/xstartup: #!/bin/bash exec startxfce4 Everything works over VNC but gparted. Nothing would happen when I click on the menu entry. When I try to start it from an Xfce terminal, it (somehow) tells my why it won't start: $ sudo gparted No protocol specified (gpartedbin:23385): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:55:09.777: cannot open display: :1.0 I'm at my wits end and would be glad if someone can help me out.

Armbian Version: Armbian_23.5.1_Orangepi3-lts_jammy_current_6.1.30_gnome_desktop While hosting a Discord bot on my Orange Pi 3 LTS, Armbian sleeps on its own after a certain amount of time. This UI is so unique to me, I've got no clue how to barely do anything other than through the Terminal. Sorry for the simple question, but I can't find answers anywhere. Thank you!

Dear all, I'm frequently losing GPIO interrupts on various boards, which seem to be caused by bursty processes. When I shield the cores that have those interrupts according to /proc/interrupts with e..g. "cset shield --cpu=0,1" , way less interrupts are lost (e.g. for 4kHz interrupts one in hours instead of once per minute). Most of these (ADC) interrupts are handled by my own kernel module, but couldn't find how to restrict them to e.g. CPU0, and they are not movable using /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity.

I'm trying to use H6's ARISC (CPUS) core for my CNC project https://allwincnc.github.io/ There are no problems to switch ARISC (CPUS) clock source using H3 and H5 (latest Armbian Buster). I'm using R_PRCM (0x01F01400) > CPUS_CLK_REG (offset 0x0000) register to switch clock source to the PERIPH0 PLL. For the H3 I'm using uboot script, for the H5 - own kernel module. But for the H6 this register (R_PRCM) isn't properly documented. Found out this register was moved to the 0x07010000. But modifying this register at offset 0x0000 doesn't take any effect. Just checked this using uboot cmd and own kernel module. I need your help. guys. Any suggestions …

I've installed the OPI 4 image awhile ago for my PI as that was the only one available. I've since installed just the kernel targeting this model.
