I already posted the question in the Odroid forum. I decided to post it here too since it may be more inherent to the Armbian OS. I used both Armbian_23.02.3_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_5.4.239.img from the odroidxu4 archive and Armbian-unofficial_23.11.0-trunk_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_6.1.63 generated from the Armbian build script. (Base CLI Image). After flashing the former image and then installing OMV6, this is the output that OMV6 gives me when installing the openmediavault-wireguard plugin: Spoiler Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... The following additional packages will be in…

Hello. First of all, thanks for your work and images working for my board :) I am working on S912 game board (board is used for an arcade game hardware) and would like to install gpu drivers. My issue is I don't find any documentation about from official website (ARM) I also wanted to use Panfrost but no documentation exist for installation :( I visited many site and Learn a little about Deb package and dkms package.

Hi All, I've just got the new Orange Pi R1 and as expected it's working just well with the Orange Pi Zero armbian image. The only thing I'm struggeling with is the Wifi driver. The driver compiles succesfully but it seems that the kernel needs patching as well: ...

G'day Has anyone managed to get our fave OS booting on this device. ? Wyse 3040 (N10D) I've created UEFI boot media, with both Rufus and Etcher, but it dosne't see it as bootable. To prove settings are ok on the device, it boots the deb bookworm usb image I made. Unfortunatly, Deb won't install as this device only has 8GB of flash... hence why I returned again to Armbain Many thanks MarkA

OK, so while documenting the Armbian patch process I needed something actual to patch. I added gpio-line-names to the device tree, so now all lines are defined. Once I finish the documentation I'll PR this patch. No more guessing what physical pin is! At some point it might make sense to put in jumper and physical pin #.

Hello, my Odroid HC2 was working flawlessly for years but since 1-2 weeks it keeps crashing/freezing and I don't know why. If I cut power and repower it, it works fine for a while but then trying to reach it via ssh, or accessing the harddrive via smb share, or opening a webinterface fails. I checked the microsd card with armbianmonitor -c "$HOME" and it showed it's fine. I can only provide the logs: https://paste.armbian.com/cibowaquyi and hope someone can check them and reply 🙏. I don't know what to look for in the logs that could be wrong... One last thing I noticed, after I ssh to it amongst other things I'm greeted with this: RX today: Erro…

Hi, I am running Armbian on four HardKernel HC2's and everything is working perfectly. The four SBC's are running a Moosefs cluster running Ubuntu 18.04 and Armbian 5.85, and this leads to my questions: I am trying to decide whether to upgrade as apt is proposing moving to 5.89 The change log does not currently list 5.89 and shows 5.87 as the newest. Am I missing something? When I look at previous change logs it is difficult to decipher which fixes impact the HC2/HC1/XU4. Is there an easy way to tell? How do you decide when to upgrade? Is it even worth upgrading when running more mature boards like this one? My boards run insi…

From a clean install: $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade $ sudo apt install podman $ podman run --rm docker.io/library/hello-world Error: command required for rootless mode with multiple IDs: exec: "newuidmap": executable file not found in $PATH Podman runs fine with sudo, so for now I can use that as a workaround, but it would be nice to run rootless containers for dev environments.

Hello Everyone, As @tkaiser is probably aware from the hardkernel forum, I'm having issues with USB/SMART and OMV. Basically, USB resets whenever SMART data is pulled from OMV's web interface, it works fine if I manually do it in shell. Here is some info. http://sprunge.us/HdbK I was proposed to update smartmontools to 6.5, but there are library dependencies that are missing. If any of you fine folks have any ideas as to what could be causing it, I would be grateful. Thank you

After a major failure of my file server I bought a pair of seagate desktop USB3 drives to use for temporary storage while I sort out the mess. I plugged them into an XU4 and started transferring several 100GBs of data only to have it lock up solid. dmesg indicates a number of uas restarts, the last of which doesn't complete. I had the same thing on another SBC (one of the orange PIs I think, although I can't remember which model) and I also found references to the same problem on x86 boxes, so I think the problem is fairly generic. Apparently it can be worked around by adding a conf file to to /etc/modprobe.d, but I haven't got that to work yet (time has been …

Hi all, I am trying to add SSH Keys to an HC1. The commands I am using are: sudo mkdir ~/.ssh sudo chmod 700 ~/.ssh sudo nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys Then I select all the PUBLIC key from PuTTy Gen and copy/paste it on the file above, close and save the file. sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) ~/.ssh/ sudo reboot I then try to SSH with PuTTy and SSH keys. Immediately I get an error saying "Server refused our key" and then it asks me for my normal password as a user. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I used to boot armbian on my Thinkpad X13S, but I didn't use Linux for 6 months. I updated bios few time in mean time. Now I'm no longer able to boot from USB drive and when I select USB disk in UEFI Boot menu. I tried few different images, I also tried to build it by myself, but still it doesn't pass UEFI select menu only return to it or boots windows. I also tried to factory reset UEFI, but still it doesn't boot. I have disabled fast boot in Windows. I used ballena etcher, rufus and dd to flash images.

Hi everyone, I hope this topic is in the right place and won't bother anyone. I'm pretty new to the ARM world. In very first i would like to thanks all people and the communities who work hard on Armbian. I successfully use a NanoPC T6 Plus / A NanoPi M6 and other forks on some TV Box with no major problems. My curiosity pushed me to try using Armbian on a MinisForum MS-R1, so i bought one and tried to boot up the KDE or Gnome image on it. In the two case, the installation is a fail at the step of launching the desktop environment, it's stuck here. The uefi is up to date with the lastest version (cix_flash_all2_MGP1WSB_20…

Hi All, I'm a happy user of a Helios4, and have been for several years now. However, at some point it will be challenging to continue to support it, and I'd rather be proactive about maintaining access to my data than scrambling around. Do people here have recommendations on current hardware that can replace the Helios4? It would need to meet the baseline hardware requirements of the existing hardware. Bonus points if one can re-use the laser-cut case Thanks!

Hi all, The grey wifi Dongle 5 I bought direct from Odroid seems to have stopped working with recent Debian releases. After much troubleshooting, I downgraded to Buster and it works fine - until I run apt update/upgrade. lsusb info is: Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter What's also interesting is that post upgrade, the device's name also changes to @_____, and its mac address changes to 00:00:00:00:00:00. The blue wifi light on the dongle won't even flash after upgrade. After apt upgrade: root@odroidxu4:~# iwconfig enx001e06361f54 no wireless extensions. docker…

I noticed there's a community overlay module that adds a "first boot" script which, among other things, allows you to connect to wifi without ever connecting a monitor or keyboard. But, this overlap doesn't seem to come with the current raspberry pi 4b image (Armbian_23.5.1_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.1.29.img). I tried downloading the build script, but I don't see an option to enable overlays in that either. Is this supported at this time? Also, I know I could just use raspbian if I want this feature, but I'm hoping to work with armbian because I want my build process to be reproducible on other boards.

A while ago (February '24), I downloaded and installed Armbian_23.11.3_Rpi5b_bookworm_current_6.1.68_cinnamon_desktop. It is running OK, and I only have a few issues with it. One issue is that the vcgencmd is not working. I posted a question about it on the forum and received a reply saying that this would be solved "when possible." However, it is still not resolved. Without this command working, I cannot get the CPU temperature, so I cannot control the cooling fan. I checked for a newer release today to see if this issue is fixed. I was shocked to see no Bookworm with Cinnamon release available. I'd like to know if it is in the works or has been dropped and wil…

So I have this issue with the XU4, where at times when I start device from the main power button, it doesn't seem to properly connect to the LAN, in such a way that I cannot ssh to it, nor ping it. Since the device is headless, and I can't control it through LAN, I have no way of looking at dmesg during the problematic boots. Are there specific logs I could look at to diagnose this problem?

I have a new odroid XU4 that I plan to use for Home Assistant in Docker and run other services in containers. I have loaded a fresh copy of Armbian cli (fully updated) with bluetooth from armbian-config. I installed linux drivers for my usb module (rtl8761a) from the manufacturer and it comes up in "bluetoothctl" as registered and pairable. However "bluetoothd show" gives me a "D-Bus setup failed: Name already in use." I will need dbus to pass device information between my docker containers when I install docker and home assistant so this error is concerning. Any ideas on how I might resolve this error? Thank you armianmonitor url: http://ix.io/…

I am using an odroid HC2 as home NAS for some years now. Software is armbian/XU4 in debian flavour. At the moment I am running bookworm (which was updated from buster to bullseye and then to bookworm - I know its not supported but it worked fine. And the problem described here started only some month after the last update). Some days ago I wanted to reboot the unit but it was stuck in the boot process. Not available by ssh or any other services. I then found out that the boot stopped because my hard disk could not be mounted from ftsab (while the sd card as root file system could be mounted). After commenting out the line it boots normally. And when logged in by ssh …

Hello all, I am using Armbian (Debian Bookworm), Gnome with Wayland. everything is working just fine. The problem is with sharing or presenting screen with OBS-Studio, Jitsi, Google meeting or other. If I share a tab in Chromium/Firefox with Jtisi or Google meeting, that's work, but I can't share a window or full screen. I am wondering what is the main cost of that. This when I share full screen, it doesn't work properly, it shows like this: This when I share tab, it's working just fine.

The trouble is I cannot find any where the kernel headers for this particular version. The kernel headers that come with the dist is 4.9.31-odroidxu4 and when I do apt-get kernel-headers-$(uname -r) or apt-get kernel-headers-next I get version 5.0.33 and I cannot seem to download the version that I need to compile drivers. Anyone know where the version 4.9.51-odroidxu4 linux headers are? Thanks

Hello, I experimented with various OS-es for my new Odroid-XU4. From what I have learned I like armbian the best because it's the closest to the original debian. A clean, small, tuned up system with the possibility to switch back to sysvinit from system(d). What I would run on it is not a desktop environment but exactly Kodi. The XU4 comes with Ubuntu 16 LTS preloaded to sdcard and I can say this is the OS which maxes out the potential of this hardware. With this after an update & upgrade everything works out of the box: kodi, networking, hdmi-cec, hdmi-audio. With using the unofficial debian jessie for odroid: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=175…

I need that for an easy backup on FS level using send/rec commands. But as we know xu4 is 32bit only - > maybe problem with stability - stability 32bit official solution but for rpi4 Or maybe is there a point to use zfs for root fs at all? what about LMV? thanks

This is something I've just realized has been popping up for me for as long as I've been using armbian the past year or so with my ODROID. After a clean setup, I use armbian-config to edit the network settings (ethernet connection) to a static IP address, and everything works fine. I reboot the changes and go on my way. The problem comes after I reboot days/weeks later for kernel updates or if I lost power. The board turns on fine but refuses to show up on my network and therefore cannot SSH to the system. Looking through the SD card and checking the files shows that /etc/network/interfaces is devoid of any static IP changes made through the config, although i…

Hi, I'm using the minimal Armbian Debian-based image as a starting point to install my favorite desktop environment KDE and related software. I've got everything set up so that I got it working partially. I remember trying the Armbian desktop (Ubuntu flavor) but it did not have it set up out of the box IIRC (I could be wrong). I took a look at how the hardkernel guys set up their official Ubuntu image for Odroid XU4 and used that as a guide to set it up on my minimal Armbian. So here's what I've done and what I've learned I need to do according to the official image: 1. apt install mali-t62x-x11-driver xserver-xorg-video-armsoc-sun4i …

Dear Readers I had quite some troubles migrating my armbian system from an SD-Card (16GB) to my emmc (32GB). I'd like to sum up my journey for future travelers ;-) I was not successful simply copying the image of the sd to the emmc and resizing the partition. It would not boot. Apparently emmc has additional boot partitions which must be set correctly. I "repaired" the emmc with this https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/emmc/recovery_xu4 and it booted Android all right from emmc. I then rebooted on my SD-Card and used the nand-sata-install command to "Boot from eMMC - system on eMMC". It took some time to copy, but when booting on the emmc, still Android…

Currently, after the last Armbian update from 5.60 to 5.70, I noticed a strange behavior that Odroid does not want to reach full clocks. With cpufrequtils min 600 max 2000 and "performance" and clocks do not want to go higher than 1800/1300Mhz temperature cpu 45.0 ° C. No changes just last updates nothing more was touched. After returning to 5.60 and 4.14.69 the CPU runs normally at 2000/1500 .... I also have the impression that HDD sometimes behaves strangely at 5.70 / 4.19.14 …

Hello there, I recently gained remote access to a Banana Pi F3 to test it, and everything went smoothly. The board was running Bianbu Linux, and I was able to install and use Docker without issues. Now, I'm considering purchasing the board and was wondering if the Armbian image would also support running Docker. Do you have any insights on this? Thanks!

I recently noticed my ODroid XU4 was reporting weird temperature readings: cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp -22000 Is this a software issue or maybe hardware failing? Also, I would like to upgrade, is there another board I could just transfer my EMMC to and be up and running? Thanks

Hello, i am using an Odroid Xu4 in an open Access environment and i want to disable USB Keyboards. I already tried the following: Create a file called, e.g., usbhid.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ and add the following line: blacklist usbhid Then re-generate your initramfs with: update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) or, if you want to rebuild the initramfs for all installed kernel versions: update-initramfs -u -k all After you reboot, usbhid.ko will be prevented from loading. But it doesn't work for me. I Also get an Error while trying to update initramfs dirtydroid@odroidxu4:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all ln: failed to create hard link …

hi, I am VERY happy with how 4.9 is running odroid-xu4. as i use it as media server and player wanted to see if i could get latencies (poitential) down by applying latest RT patches that are in line with current xu4-next kernel sources. added pathes to userpatches/kernel/odoirdxu4-next directory, build process went fine, have selected FULL-RT but it does not boot (final image) source: https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/tre ... dxu4-4.9.y rt-patches: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel ... ts/rt/4.9/ it compiles ok but it does not boot ... has anyone looked at what the issue might be ? i don't have serial debuigger yet, have ordered bu…

OK, OK, OK, OK No problems! :-) Just experience. Mine. My XU4 is connected to VU7 Plus, nice. charming. The startscreen when starting from a very beginning: The letters are really very small. The VU7 is adjusted to 1200x720 but it is 1024x768 Adjusting the size of the letters one should have some experience in doing that. Also in setting the keyboard. I don't have good experience without DHCP on XU4. Also not with IPv6 for the server doesn't support IPv6. (ADSL-Modem :->) https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/emmc/recovery_xu4 is very good No problems. Working with Configuration utility one can get lost without reading th…

If I boot my Odroid XU4 without the HDMI cable connected, my HDMI display does not work. If I boot with the HDMI cable and monitor connected, the HDMI display works fine even if it is disconnected and reconnected. I am running debian buster. deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free I have compared the dmesg output from when HDMI works and does not work and do not see a difference. In case it helps, here are all of the dmesg lines with HDMI in them. root@odroidxu4:~# grep -i hdmi dmesg_hdmi_works_usb_hdmi_plugged_in_at_boot.txt [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttySAC2,115200n8 console=tty1 co…

I have tried all known possible combos to hide the grub menu on boot but no luck I tested on the /etc/default/grub and /etc/default/grub.d/98-armbian.cfg Is there another config file Im missing that ignores above, especially later?

I've been using a Helios4 for nearly 2 years now and it's been fantastic. A couple days ago, it stopped working though. The serial console revealed a boot loop at "U-Boot SPL" and only showing the disks, but never attempting to boot the OS. I did some forum searching and discovered the PSU could be the issue. Using a multimeter, I tested the PSU pins and I get the following (see diagram): PIN 1: +2.66V (fluctuates between 2.64-2.66) PIN 2: +2.66V (fluctuates between 2.64-2.66) PIN 3: GND PIN 4: GND What are the voltages that Helios4 expects for these pins? Should both 1 & 2 be 12V or should one be 12V and the other 5V? I already …

Hi all, just a quick note here that I am running 23.05 Bookworm successfully on Helios4 with ZFS. I did a clean install with a self-built image. Why the self-build? For two reasons: I wanted to have working fancontrol and that required the recent patch of @Heisath - https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5392 I ran into an issue with not being able to install kernel headers (see below) so I needed to build an image with kernel headers built-in Build steps I wanted the release version so I did this in a clean build environment (WSL2 Ubuntu): git clone --depth=1 --branch=v23.05.2 https://github.com/armbian/build And …

I've been having issues with my Helios4 becoming unresponsive when it's been up for a while. I decided to do some more thorough investigating and found that it was having problems writing to the sdcard. That led to the following entries in syslog: Dec 20 21:36:43 helios-backup kernel: [318645.034243] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.

Hello guys! Probably some of you know me as the MadEDoctor from Youtube. For those of you who don't know my channel and don't know what I am doing at the moment - Long story short I got my hands on a 16GB RAM chip that should be compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4 hardware. But there is a problem I am facing... That is I am unable to boot any OS different from VMware (arm version) and RISC OS (that is pretty much useless). When I try to boot Raspbian for example - It shows the rainbow square and then gets stuck on a completely black screen and it draws around 500mA... I contacted Jeff Geerling with the hope he could help with this project. He wrote a post on the …

I booted, and everything is working except the cooling fan: it seems not to start, even when I plug in the adapter before it boots. Is that normal, because even at 66 °c, it doesn't start...

Hi Armbian forum people! I'm trying to setup bcache for my openmediavault. But it seems the `bcache` module is not installed? Which means I cannot use `bcache` at the moment with openmediavault. I do know that the bcache has been added only recently: * https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9550?ref=blog.armbian.com * "Enable BCACHE on Raspberry Pi build" But no go so far.. Is there anything I can do?
