Hi, I recently bought an Odroid HC1 and installed Debian 8 on it. I am being quite happy so far with the installation, however this softy installer is very frustrating. I tried to install Syncthing, which failed to start, then now Webmin, hoping to be of "smaller scale", but no lack. It repeatedly fails to do something, displaying the errors behind the curses window, so I had to stop it with Ctrl-C. Then I got back to the menu and after quit, a cleared screen. Brilliant. Are there logs stored somewhere, at least? I checked /var/log/, but got no further. Or how I am supposed to go through failing installations? Thank you,

Hi, I have followed the insruction to install Home Assistant (Smarthome suite within Docker) as given in https://github.com/armbian/config But after instalation of Home Assistant (Smarthome suite within Docker) How do I start it.

If i can not change the forgotten password, how can I copy over a new debian OS download to a microsd card without the password? I used to use something like "sudo cp name.OS dev/xx/xx". I haven't used debian in almost a year and forgot most commands, at least partially. I always use the command line in a terminal . Thanks!!

Guys, Hope my thread is correct here. i have an Banana Pi M2 Ultra on my shelf and want to start using it. So when i check the Armbian Hompepage for a propper up-to-date Image i just recognize its not anmyore supported. See here: https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u/ But then , when i click on "Download from Archives" i see a lots of images for my hardware. But on the other way its says no more support. Confused now... Are the images in Download from archive all unstable or testing ones? Apprechiate if someone could explain. Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to make a acces point so when the orange pi has no internet i can still connect to the acces point and acces a python server that is running in a docker container on it. I managed to set-up the “hotspot” in the configuration, but once I take out the ethernet cable I cant view the site anymore from my phone that is connected to the orange pi hotspot. What can I do to make this work? https://imgur.com/a/5lecbHX

After installing Armbian_23.2.1_Rock-5b_bookworm_legacy_5.10.160_xfce_desktop.img I found a nagging error each start of Firefox. "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator." Looking at internet with Google I found hardly any link referring to linux or armbian, therefore I still don't know which configuration file was actually missing or damaged. The only link I found with armbian in it contained some very obscure editting of some configuration files (just like many proposed Windows solutions). The issue: where does it go wrong? The problem is some configuration clutter somewhere in /usr/lib/firef…

Hi I've just set up the Roseapple Pi with Armbian (legacy server Debian). As I often find (over a range of monitors) there's an overscan so bad I can't see the "login" instructions at the bottom of the screen... on all sides the text is off the edge of the screen. For the life of me I can't see WHERE to adjust the overscan - can anyone help. Pete.

I’m using the Pine64 2GB Kickstarter’s board with the official LCD, running Armbian 5.25 Pine64 Debian (Jessie) 3.10.104 image. Everything works fine, display in terminal only and touch screen with the desktop. Now I would like to upgrade to the latest stable Armbian version (which on download page is 5.83). However now I can’t enable the LCD, although the download page says: It was a couple years back, I don’t remember exactly, but seems that was the same way I’ve used to enable the screen in old 5.25 Armbian. I’m no Linux kernel developer, but searching through the forum on the topic I found several mentions of “kernel recompile” - is there no other ways …

I was trying to install armbian on an ssd on my orange pi5, and when I ran the armbian-config program I saw that the firmware was frozen. I chose to unfreeze it, but I think should not have done that. Can I reinstall the frozen firmware packages and then hold those packages again? If so, how? Thanks.

Hi, After the latest website changes, downloads of the Debian versions went deeper and I have a feeling that Ubuntu versions are promoted. I used to use Debian in development as it is developed more rapidly. Are there any plans for the future in this area? As much of my work is script based that may mean a big change for me...

I have a Pinebook Pro and installed Focal xfce on its eMMC. I would like to swith to i3. So I have installed `i3`, `i3status` and `i3lock` using apt. Then I have altered the `user-session` config of lightdm from `xfce` to `i3` (actually did this at three places). With all this done, I still end up in XFCE. Hints on where to look further are welcome.

I'm experimenting with video transcoding but am getting problems when using vdpau to decode and the hw video encoder. Using this https://github.com/stulluk/FFmpeg-Cedrus and https://github.com/uboborov/ffmpeg_h264_H3 software decode & hw encode = 15-20FPS but high CPU usage. it can do 60FPS encoding rate with 960x540 30fps h264 source dropping the compression helps a bit too (-qp 24, default is 30) hw decode & hw encode of 1080 h264 = 1FPS, using 4k h265 as the source gives 1.5 FPS ffmpeg -hwaccel vdpau -i 1080p30.mp4 -c:v cedrus264 -c:a copy -pix_fmt nv12 out.mp4 Is the video engine designed to do transcoding?

Just recently started getting ICE when building large C/C++ code using both GCC and CLANG. I suppose memory is failing in some way related to HW. On x86 Ubuntu I have memtest86+ in GRUB, but how do I test for memory errors on Armbian? I tried memtester and stressapptest but they test only part of memory, and so far don't show any errors, does something similar to memtest86+ exist for ARM?

Hello, I was running Armbian on my cubietruck, I believe Bionic Ubuntu. I wanted to upgrade to latest kernel, so I did a - apt-get update - apt-get upgrade - ambian-config and selected the lastest kernel And that was it. When rebooting, I end up with a try to contact a tftp server. The cubietruck has an SDCard and an SSD. Is there an easy fix or do I need to reinstall it completely, please? If I need to reinstall, do I have to backup all data, or is existing data preserved? (Traccar installation) Regards, Tomte

Hi, I'm interested in getting a compact ARM-based processor (something like a RPI or ASUS TinkerBoard) that can output a 2560x720 output resolution.

Any pointers would be gratefully received. Thank You, Dave

Hi, I’m new to the forum and just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the incredible work Armbian has done for the community. I have been tinkering around with Radxa rock 5 ITX SBC and Armbian.

This is a FYI: My armbian did not automount my USB-disk. Possbile reason "By default, disk drives do not auto-mount in Ubuntu Server Edition.". Anyway: I solved it with usbmount: First install usbmount. Then, in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf change the line #MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime" to MOUNTOPTIONS="sync,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,user,umask=0000" to make it writeable for all users.

Hello! Made a kernel update via APT yesterday and now the MOTD is displaying the status warning "No end-user support: built from trunk".

Hi all, I have found that hw acceleration can be achieved with OpenGL, sunxi Cedrus, using old Xenial on 3.4 kernel. Haven't tested yet using OpenGL, but regarding Cedrus everybody was talking about video decoding and didn't see anyone talking about encoding. Don't want to try on old kernels, therefore I'm not using Xenial. Is there a way to get hw acceleration for video encoding on recent kernels (5.10.y) for Orange pi one?

I have recently managed to get SPI boot to USB SSD working on my Odroid N2+. However, to get there, I had to manually set setenv rootdev "/dev/sda1" in my /boot/boot.cmd With that set, SPI boot works. However, obviously I should not set it manually there, and the setting gets overwritten by armbian-config. My understanding is, that I should let boot.cmd unchanged (rootdev "/dev/mmcblk0p1") and armbianEnv.txt should do its magic, but the rootdev setting in armbianEnv.txt is simply ignored upon SPI boot and it fails to boot, as it tries to load the root fs from SD card... Any pointers, what might go wrong here or …

Hi I am trying to prepare SD card that I will be able to copy the same image to several boards: - I have my final OS on EMMC of "mother" board(installed with nand-sata-install), - copy os to SD card using dd if=...of=.., so I got .img file How to clone emmc content to another boards? I know I can use nand-sata -install (preprare my final OS on SD card and the copy to all boards), but it is not quick way. Raw copy is much faster. Any ideas? Of course dd if=my.img of=/emmc does not work - some problem with boot.

I tried to update using this set of commands sudo wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.2/Python-3.8.2.tgz sudo tar xzf Python-3.8.2.tgz cd Python-3.8.2 ./configure --enable-optimizations make -j 4 sudo make altinstall I tried to create a virtual environment with python3.8 -m venv /srv/myapp but I get this error Error: Command '['/srv/myapp/bin/python3.8', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1. What does it mean? How c…

I just (several days ago) installed Armbian 22.05 OdroidN2 Jammy XFCE. It uses kernel 5.10. Then I noticed there is an alternative version 22.05 jammy XFCE with kernel 5.17. Is it possible to update to the later kernel from the image I used without re-imaging and starting from scratch? I have already installed and setup a lot of other applications and data. I can see i have packages linux-image-current-meson64/jammy (linux-dtb... & linux-headers...) installed. On apt.armbian.com I found: (https://stpete-mirror.armbian.com/apt/pool/main/l/linux-5.17.5-meson64/) in the linux-5.17.5-meson64 Name Last modified P…

Would like to build something like a NAS, because I'm tired of connecting an external drive via USB. I am thinking to use bananapi M2 berry for this. I would power the 3.5 HDD externally and don't care too much about SATA speed. However, it is important to me that armbian works without manual adjustments, because it wouldn't cope with them. Should I go ahead with the experiment?

Hello, I would like to know how they reduce the size of the images and then, when the microSD cards are inserted into a card, they expand to fill the entire space. In other words, the same thing that Armbian images do when we use them for the first time: they are small, and then they occupy all the storage space.

I'm trying to build the linux-tools binaries from the kernel using the armbian build. I ran the ./compile.sh script and it built the image, but I only want the linux-tools binaries to copy over. I'm not sure how to get it to build them, when I go into the kernel tools folder and do "make all" it builds the binaries for x64 instead of for arm64. I looked through the kernel config file when running ./compile.sh script but can't find an option to build the linux-tools. I'm not sure how to add it so that they are built for the target system arm64.

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?

After much trial and error, I cross compiled opencv against a live armbian rootfs mounted via sshfs. I've documented the steps (including rationale and troubleshooting insights) on my blog: http://studiow.cf/blog/post/how-to-cross-compile-opencv-for-armbian-with-gtk

Hi, I downloaded Armbian 4.14.14 and I installed it on my Banana PI. Then I configured it to act as Gateway/Firewall. Now, just before I start active using it, I wanted to backup the installation on a second SD-card, just in case... I buyed a Toshiba 8GB Class 10 and I started to copy the data from my "old" SD-Card (SanDisk 8GB Class 10), first with Linux using dd, then under Windows using Win32DiskImager. Always the same problem: if I boot the Banana PI with the new card the system boots and, before I get the login screen, the system restarts in a loop... With the "old" card of course it works... Can someone …

Hi guys, I have orange pi plus and am going to adopt camera on this board. I got GC2155 camera module from another project and it's pin compatible with Opi's Con1. Therefore I would like to use this camera module on the PIO plus. I tried to search about GC2155 from this site, but I couldn't get any information. Any guy can help about this topic?

I have a Clusterboard and the latest images (Stretch and Bionic) do not work with my SOPINE modules. Legacy 3.10 (Xenial) works.

What is the process for getting it back in? armbianator didn't generate a URL so I'm manually pasting it here: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ### Activated 4 lzo zram swap devices with 248 MB each ### Activated Armbian ramlog partition with compression ### Activated 4 lzo zram swap devices with …

Some people noticed that Pulseaudio mixes is showing "Built-in Audio" for all the audio devices of the SBCs. I investigated and found that the issue is related to ALSA: the devices are not really exposed by their real hardware connection (HDMI, SPDIF, ...) but just as "hw" devices. Pulseaudio is interpreting this as built-in audio because does not know anything else of the device. I'm no ALSA expert at all, copied some already existing configuration files without really understanding what I did, I found a solution. To solve the problem with SPDIF and HDMI you need to place the following two configuration files in /usr/share/alsa/card. Call the…

Hello, I use Banana PI M1 with TFT touchscreen and Jessi Legacy Kernel 3.4.113 sun7i I have to stay with legacy kernel because it supports FEX configuration for TFT display and USB-OTG.

I am building a kali linux for espreso bin. I used the initrd and kernel from Armbian and I already got it to boot without any problem. However during the boot process, when it is using the ramdisk this warning appears. Warning: fsck not present, so skipping root file system I Would like to be able to check root partition during the boot. How could I add fsck to the ramdisk? I also noticed that armbian buster for espressobin have the fsck present on the ramdisk.

Hi, there is almost 0 documentation how to update u-boot; where to flash (dd) it, if it does support boot from rootfs on ZFS etc. Regarding the ZFS; here I assume /boot has to be on ext4/vfat and rest of the rootfs (/) as ZFS to make it works? Is there any way to flash more details on this part? I found files as following but no idea... /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-current-bananapi_21.05.1_armhf/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin root@bananapi:/usr/lib/u-boot# pwd /usr/lib/u-boot root@bananapi:/usr/lib/u-boot# ls Bananapi_defconfig LICENSE platform_install.sh Also I wanted to do simple update; to make u-boot…

I'm trying to add a USB device using configfs to the zero but I don't want to break the pre existing serial connection on USB0 so I want to put it on USB3, the overlay has this as usbhost3 so before I spend hours designing a daughter board and trying to fix something that's never going to work the question is can I use this interface for a device.

Hello, I'm very familiar with Raspberry Pi, not so much Armbian. I have installed Armbian KDE Neon with Plasma 6 successfully and am very interested in possibilities with the Pi5.

Hi guys! What do you think about submitting the Armbian project to the DistroWatch.com website?

hi all, sorry for the trivial question. in cubietruck plus board can I use the images for cubietruck 3? thank you

Hi, I would suggest that in Armbian use Webmin as default. - easy interface - very easy to check the status of Armbiana - easy to install basic services, eg.

How to install (Orange Pi PC ): (Webmin updates itself to the latest version - notification appears) sudo apt-get install -y perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.831_all.deb sudo dpkg --install webmin_1.831_all.deb access: (ignore https warni…

It been a while since I have made custom images for the OrangePi PC Plus so things have changed a bit in the intervening period. First I made the development environment change to Ubuntu Focal, then changes to a couple of patch files to bring them into line with the new u-boot and kernel versions however I have simply lost the ability to display an Armbian splash screen during boot. In the past I had patched general-armbian-boot-logo-on-screen-center.patch and general-armbian-boot-logo-on-screen-center copy.patch to show the splash screen I required however now these patches are this patch is no longer even referenced during the build process. Now, after th…

Hello, Recently I installed docker on my armbian and motd got broken. Previously it was printing correctly information about traffic: RX today: 20,72 GiB But after installing docker and playing with some images motd is displaying following error: RX today: Error: Not all requested interfaces found in database or given interfaces aren't unique. The problem is that docker adds new network interfaces that are not initialized in vnstat. I've solved my issue by adding the new docker interfaces in vnstat: vnstat --add -i docker0 vnstat --add -i veth160e0f9 Perhaps /etc/update-motd.d/30-armbian-sysinfo script should somehow detect new interfac…
