Hello, what is the correct way to install x2goserver on armbian? Which repos to use? Regards Daniel

Hi, I just ordered a NEO2 that I intent to use as a Tvheadend backed. Actually will use two at different locations, the problem is with the kernel bug affecting the DVBSky S960 DVB-S2 USB tuner since a kernel commit in 4.10rc1 Luckily, this has been fixed recently, and there is a patch as well. The patch has been submitted for upstream devs LINK And LibreElec also included the patch and will be fixed (finally) in their next beta LINK I wanted to ask if it is possible to include this patch to Armbian kernel (maybe a beta or nightly) in order to make DVBSky S960 work? Many thanks!

I compile the tr from source code,and Ifind that when I download many bt torrents.It only use 1 cpu(I have 6). When I use the old version from apt, I find the multi threads work. My computer is arm64 rk3399 NanoPi 4with armbian(base on debian). where is the problem? the old version in apt is 2.9.2 I compile in 2.9.4

What do I need to use a separate monitor for my M4. . . . . keeping in mind, I've used nothing but MS Windows up to this point. Saying that I'm a novice when it comes to Linex, etc. is an understatement. I'm actually having someone else do the initial set for me.

Hi, I've some issues regarding apt pinning, which I've used for a year now without problems, after doing a clean install to Armbian_5.70_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.14. I've figured out that installing only locales from testing (2.28-4) over (2.24-11+deb9u3) kills armbian-ramlog.service as seen below in spoiler 1, which again seems to cause problems for other packages as Nginx.

I just attempted several builds of Build-Armbian, 5.67 bionic 5.0 rc1 with S9xxx board. None of them will boot. It's almost like it's not reading the DTB right. It just sits at the MXQPro logo screen. I've edited to extlinux.conf and the uEnv.ini and even created a dtb.img but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've used this same dtb with builds produced by balbes150 and it worked fine. I'm a noob, but I'm not just trying to get this running. I plan to contribute to the project if possible. I was a software engineer in a past life. Any hints in the right direction would be much appreciated. For instance, is there a way to see the boot console so I can se…

I had Raspbian running for months on Raspberry 3 B but this hardware broke. I would like to run Debian, but on another board. Is there any board that supports the Piano DAC with the Kali add-on? Thanks for any eye-opener

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 After doing a clean install to SD card of armbian 5.3 Ubuntu Xenial, I see multiple failures to install packages like Docker and Gitlab via apt-get. In both instances, I follow instructions as per the official pages, but when I try to do the installation, apt-get will report that "E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate" for example, even though it is present searching in the cache. Am I doing something wrong - perhaps I need another repository source?

Hello guys i have bought a Tritium H3 and iam search a option to setting the cpu/gpu/ddr clock for armbian give it a script.bin (like orange pi) for this board to configure or an other option? please help me best regards fredy

Hi, Just something I have found, not sure if this is an 'issue' but it definitely caught me out and took a while to figure out and fix. I have several armbian machines (Odroid C2, BananaPi Pro) all running Jessie or Stretch and all working fine. A recent project of mine (using Armbian on a BPi Pro) was to build a Pi-Hole DNS. Some time after doing that I noticed that none of the Armbian machines would successfully run 'apt update' whilst other unix machines including a RPi running raspbian were all fine. DNS config was fine, I could see requests hit the Pi-Hole and be answered. nslookup / dig on the armbian machines all worked fine b…

I had boards like Asus TinkerBoard or others with AMLogic chips that have the hardware support but lack the software part. Does Armbian have support for some SBCs with "true" video acceleration for linux? (aka vendor is not an asshole that doesn't share the required drivers to use the features it sells?).

Hello, If you don't want to use HDMI, what configuration should be done in armbianEnv.txt or boot.cmd ? Thanks in advance

Dear armbian experts For a kiosk-like system with a touch screen only, I need a virtual keyboard that pops up on demand and hides again when not needed. I have installed successfully the onboard keyboard package, see https://launchpad.net/onboard. The software has all the desired features and works fine so far. Only auto show / hide does not work, i. e. something seems to be wrong with the communication between onboard and other applications like Firefox etc. I think, onboard needs for that an AT-SPI D-bus / AT-SPI registry installed to send and receive messages. I tried to activate "Applications -> Settings -> Accessi…

Hi All I cannot seem to find information specific to the Cuibieboard 2 - only reference to BPI running Ubuntu on SATA? Is this still possible? I have been able to do this on my old Cubieboard 2 but with a very old image. I don't know if this is possible with the latest Ubuntu's? If so, please point me to instructions? I have downloaded Armbian 5.3 onto SD card and got one of my Cubie's to boot fine from SD but would prefer either NAND or via SATA (SSD - preferable). I think the way I was able to do this on my old boards was to have the bootloader run from the NAND and then the SSD would take over from there, but…

Hello, What is the correct way to set armbianEnv.txt values when the distro is being built? Specifically I'd like to set kernel verbosity to a non-zero value? There does not seem to be a skeleton file so is all content generated dynamically? TIA

Hi all I am using the Armbian 5.32 OMV image, recently the startup message stopped working after a hard reboot. Any ideas where the startup script exists (the one which displays Welcome to Armbian and all the vital stats) or how to troubleshoot such issue ?

Hi! I'm running a Odroid C2 as a SAT->IP-Server for some time having two DVBSky S960 attached to the USB-Ports of the Odroid. The Odroid itsself has a nightly of Armbian installed: 5.38.180128 (4.14.15) and runs a self-compiled tvheadend on it. No big problems so far. As you released a stable stretch-image some time ago, i thought: give it a try! So I flashed the image to my 8GB EMMC, installed all updates, built tvheadend on it and installed it. Everything runs like a charm. Until...I try to use the DVBSky S960 on the USB-Port. Of course I installed the correct driver for it and the device seems to be detected correctly and the drivers are bein…

I am wanting to do bare programming of the A20. Does anyone have a memory map of the A20? I understand there are three types of memory used in the A20, including onboard non changeable memory.

Hi forum, I want use my R1 board as a switch and if possible to run some services as the same if possible. Now when I look in /etc/network I do see a lot of different .conf files in that folder, but I do not really know how to use or them. Therefore my questions. 1. can I use my board as switch and can I run as the same services. 2. How do I use these config files and how do I interpret the results. Thx,blub4747

I have a project with "Orange PI PC PLUS" and a Realtek 8153B usb-ethernet adapter. My big problem is that the adapter lights do not come on, even if the rest is working. On windows systems the activity light of the adapter lights up, but in linux no (I tested on armbian 5.60 and ubuntu 18.04). I've successfully installed the linux driver from realtek's website, but the light still does not light up. Module r8152 installed and used for the device.

I just tried to get the dhclient on eth0 to communicate with my ISP (which uses dhcp). On OpenWrt, this works with no problem. However, all I got on the bpi-r2 (eth0) was a 169.x (no answer) address. For the internal network, the dhclient works just fine. I have already tried using eth0 in systemd's network and outside of it (using dhclient). No communication in both cases. ta, t.

There are updates in the most recent mainline kernel about the Odroid C0/C1/C1+ board: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?h=v4.20&qt=grep&q=odroid The armbian image with the mainline kernel have not been updated. Could you please update it? I would like to use it. You can officially drop the outdated version with the kernel 3.10. The Kernel 3.10 is not supported any more and have ton of security issues that wont get fixed. Only the mainline kernel is interesting and worth upgrading to latest kernel. Thanks

Good morning I am using a tinkerboard S on Armbian Stretch. I would like to backup using rsync / rsnapshot to a remote nfs share. For the nfs server I tried an rpi3 on raspbian and on armbian omv4. The setup works, but on the actual job, copying a few GB, I get a kernel panic on the Tinkerboard Client everytime. The same jobs works flawlessly to local attached usb storage on the Tinkerboard. http://ix.io/1wJT Thanks for any input und happy Holidays! Sebastian

Hi, Now that I have my NanoPC-T4 working with hardware 3D acceleration, 1080p video playback, full development environment on NVMe, Think it's time for a backup. Has anyone found a usefull utility ? Or should I just use dd to dump the eMMC partions to image files on a USB attached drive and rsync to backup the NVMe the the same ? I'd imagine to restore just boot from an install image, don't install, just dd the images to their repective eMMC partitions and rysnc to restore. Has anyone had to restore a board and how well did your solution work for you ?

Hello, I've searched through various threads on here and can find no comprehensive answer on how to disable log2ram completely, forever, and preferably end up with only one /var/log with mainstream logrotate settings. This is for a situation where I'm using an actual hard drive and don't need to worry about destroying flash memory. I suspect it is more involved than just 'systemctl disable log2ram'. Any additional pointers would be very helpful, thank you!

So far I've been able to get just about everything running with Armbian but I just haven't got my head around routing a usb / mpci 4g modem. I clearly see it's a ttyACM0 device, I can see it's a USB connection in nmtui, ifconfig shows it as usb0 interface. I think the hardware is good and Armbian is talking to it fine. Can someone point me to a tutorial somewhere that would turn the light on for a first time try at routing data from a cellular modem? I'm using a clearfog pro but I also have an espressobin. The modem is a U-Blox MPCI-L201 and I imagine should work on either board. I'm probably just not putting the right questions to uncle googl…

Hello. I created a HotSpot with my Orange Pi Zero H2 with the latest version of Armbian Bionic.

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.

Hello, I have an old PCduino 3 that I would like to return to a more dignified life. But I see that it is currently considered as EOS so it will not have an update to Bionic or Stretch. But is it possible to do it unofficially with Armbian build?, if not, can I at least update it from Xenial to Bionic without breaking everything?

Hi There! I noticed the EOS for the OrangePi+ and that the OrangePi+ 2 is still supported. Since boards are almost identical, why leave the OrangePi+? And on top of that: when I download the current version, the downloads are the same for both boards.... Or am I missing something?

Hi all, I am trying to have a script running when eth0 i s up, but it seems that I don't get it. Although I followed a guide and set anything, NM is not triggering my script. So I have created my script without sh extension and called it 90-start-script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d: logger -s "I DON'T SEE THIS" if [ "$1" == "eth0" ]; then case "$2" in up) ~/scripts/start_check.sh ;; esac fi; I gave it root ownership, execution flag, but it seems to be not working... I followed this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Network_services_with_NetworkManag…

Hi, I would like to run my NanoPi M4 from an external USB3 SSD. Does anybody know if the images here: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M4#Work_with_FriendlyCore Will work? Or are they specifically for SD or eMMC? If they won't work, how do I modify to make it work? Many thanks! M

Thank you for the Armbian 5.66 images for the Banana Pi M2 Ultra. I would like to speak out a wish. Is it possible to add the kernel module uinput in the next revision? It would help me for using multimedia keys via bluetooth. Many Thanks in advance Markus

My /var/log fills to 100% quickly after cleaning. I am running Ubuntu 18.10 with Nextcloud snap on a Cubox-i4. Others have mitigated the problem by changing the logging strategy, but I rather not mess with this. Any ideas?

Is something wrong with armbian? On my BPI M1, I get this apt error today. Err:6 https://apt.uk.armbian.com stretch Release server certificate verification failed.

Hi, For the longest time, I've had this issue, but it never really bothered me much. All git updates can be done through git:// and the source lists that I require are still on HTTPS. Since the apt.armbian moved to HTTPS I've been experiencing the following apt-get update error: Reading package lists... Done E: Method https has died unexpectedly! E: Sub-process https received a segmentation fault. E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/https did not start correctly I'm currently on ARMBIAN 5.60 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.70-sunxi and would love to get HTTPS working again over apt.

I'm gonna keep this short. I installed Omv on my Odroid HC2 via armbian-config. I messed up and now cannot get into discs or filesystems tab in Omv and cannot add new shared folder. Using a htpc script called Atomic Toolkit, I updated an app, I think nginx and by that the PHP 7.2 automatically was installed by the script. Here is the thread on Omv. I'm writing this in the hope that maybe @tkaiser or someone else may have an idea to fix this. If not, I'll start over and would like to know how I can reinstall omv. In armbian-config I tried to untick omv and continue, but this does not remove omv ..Maybe I don't have to completely remove omv…

Hi guys! This is my first post on Armbian forum so just want to say that I appreciate your work on Armbian. It's great! :) Couple days ago I've downloaded latest release of Armbian - Armbian_5.65_Orangepipc_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78.7z After successful start on OPi PC board I have installed minimal desktop. I've created Wi-Fi network (using network manager) so my OPi PC board can act like a Access Point, and this works fine. Wi-Fi network is visible on other devices and they can connect to it. The problem is that there is no DHCP server working on OPi. This mean that any of devices which connects to the OPi's …

Hello All, I finally got Armbian for the BPI-R2 installed and I must say, it is the best OS I had ever used on it. It makes the BPI-R2 usable now, which is great since it is very good hardware. I plan to use it just as a server (no desktop plans, as that could get too painful). If any BPI-R2 tests need to be done or the such, please let me know. ta, t.

Hello. I've received a SATA to USB 3.0 adapter from the Pine64 store. The problem is than the adapter is not fully SAT compliant, so hdparm doesn't work with it. It is described better in this post. And there's an updated firmware for the JMS578 chip which fixes this issue. However, it was made for another device (Odroid HC1), not the device I have. Is it safe to use this firmware in my adapter? Or maybe there's even more fresh firmware exists for JMS578 chips?

I did flashing the firmware of ZIDOO H6 PRO. After that, the original firmware does not boot (even when connected to the power source, the LED does not work). However, operating with firmware on ZIDOO H6 PRO will operate normally. I think something is LOCK in NVRAM. Has anyone solved this problem?

Hi Igor. I think I found another inadvertenttant bug in the build since the desktop was unseparated out. The new build is calling chromium instead of chromium-browser, and it's breaking. It brings up a brief pink screen. When you call it from a window it calls this image below. Otherwise it is installing desktop on the H3 just fine.

Hi everyone Board: Odroid HC1 Tried to install Sonarr using armbian-config(softly) and it worked just fine, tried the same with radarr and got the following error during installation: tar: This does not look like a tar archive gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now. Looks like an issue with the package not beeing downloaded correctly. Any Ideas?

Hi, I am trying to select an OS for C++ development on ARM processors for IoT development and I am thinking about long future. I've been using Debian and Ubuntu on my desktop, so I have to say I am biased on using Debian. (1) armhf debian looks stable, it can support any ARM board as long as it has Linux kernel, but it requires large size in both RAM and Flash like a desktop environment. (2) openwrt is smaller for embedded system, but it does not have pre-build open source library packages like armhf debian does, you have to build open source packages which may or may not be a big deal, in particular, building boost could be a nightmar…

Usually, when I configure SBC devices (in particular headless as the OPI Zero), what I do is to disable NetworkManager (even uninstalling it) and to provide a basic standard configuration on /etc/network/interfaces. However, I am noticing that the NetworkManager it is becoming more and more interleaved on the standard Linux configuration (as it is happening with systemd). In fact, my thought is that NetworkManager it is more a desktop thing than a server one. My question is: What is the right method to configure static servers, having unmovable IP addresses, routes and these types of things, with current and future Armbian releases? If it is nec…

Hi All, I am having issues reading frames from a usb camera connected to my nanopi neo air. I can get images from a logitech C170 webcam fine but not from this other USB camera module. I can access it from my mac/ubuntu VM fine so it definitely works. The device is recognised as a video device and mounts to /dev/video0 but times out when I try to get frames from it. It seems like a driver issue but I can't figure it out.

Hi, I have an Orange Pi Zero and I installed Armbian Xenial with xfce and tightvncserver. Everything works well but I couldn't use local mouse and keyboard, is it possible to use them? Sorry for my bad english.

Hello! I bought an Orange Pi PC about two years ago which is still working perfectly to this day (very happy with it), but I am curious to know what would be considered the 'best' Single Board Computer at this time point time, which would be around the same price range ($15 USD). 'Best' being defined as having a decent processor, and good software support - which the Orange Pi PC eventually did. I'm tempted to just buy another one of these for another project, but interested to know. Again, the main factor is price - $15 USD or less would be ideal.

Sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm a noob to all this. I've searched the help files, Google, forum posts and can't find anything regarding a tinker board and no signal issue. I've only been able to find posts about Rasberry Pi Orange, and the solution used in those posts don't seem to apply here. I have an Asus Tinkerboard (not the S). I bought a 7" HDMI touch screen which was advertised as being Rasberry Pi compliant. 7" 800 x 480 HDMI-B TOUCHSCREEN FOR RASPBERRY PI https://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=439070 This screen doesn't use pins, just an HDMI port out.

Hi, I recently bought a 7'' 800x480 HDMI TFT LCD display. Im trying to make it work with my OrangePi Plus 2e where I have armbian xenial desktop distro.

Its intresting that the same settings works perfectly on a Cubieboard2 A20 board. I also tried the Armbian bionic server and installed a light desktop from armbian-config and the display works! but the screen has a greenish tint. (and there is no script.bin file on a server version, so I cant compare to the xenial like…

I see multiple projects on GitHub for getting RTL8812AU devices working on Armbian. Right now, I'm working with a NanoPi M1 while I wait for a rock64 to arrive in the mail.

Hello @all, I bought an Orange Pi PC PLUS and an 5" touch display with XPT2046-touch controller (compatible with ADS7846): 5" Touch with XPT2046 The OPI PC PLUS works with Armbian_5.65_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.14.78.7 OS. The Display is mounted on the OPI PC PLUS and works fine with HDMI. But the Touch doesn't work. I tried several solutions which can be found in the inet. But the touch will not get work. As I can see in the schematic for the OPI PC+ the SPI0-bus is connected to the external connector (40-pin header). The SPI0-bus is also connected to the NAND-flash. May this the problem that the touch doesn't work? …
