Werner's post in Thank you! was marked as the answer6.18.y is an LTS kernel which receives support for fixes over multiple years. This is our current kernel.
If you want something more recent, switch to an edge kernel using code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbian-config.
I will probably never understand why Ubuntu takes the useless effort to maintain an non-lts kernel over multiple years while its originator Debian got the clue and uses upstream LTS kernels for their releases so both parties the Debian and Linux maintainers can work hand in hand to fix things.

Werner's post in Stonking Stingray base availability? was marked as the answerProbably yes, but for development purposes only. We will provide neither "stable" images with non-lts userpsaces nor any support for those whatsoever.

Werner's post in Armbian on Utilite pro was marked as the answer@Harry Pelekanis your post is here. do not post on multiple places for the same topic to raise attention. This is considered abusive behaviour.

Werner's post in New Kernel update (6.18.xx) wrecks system was marked as the answerThis may be an issue. I know from the past Armbian and petitboot don't work well together. You need to wipe your spi to get rid of it. Then everything should work just fine.
Having this package installed means nothing about the actual used boot loader.
This package only provides the binaries to rewrite the boot loader if actually necessary. It is updated with package install/upgrade because doing so is rarely necessary. armbian-install can update the boot loader and will use the binaries from the package.

Werner's post in How Orange Pi Zero 3W use Mainline Armbian Kernel with Vendor U-Boot? was marked as the answerorangepi zero3 and 3w have, besides the confusing name, nothing in common.
There is no support for any Allwinner A733 device in the framework yet. Best chance is to get in touch with Nick A since he tries to bring up support for raxda a7a, a7z, a7whateever devices which also use this SoC.

Werner's post in Orange Pi PC: /usr/bin/su is a x86-64 binary was marked as the answerIf this is really the case, then this must be an upstream issue since Armbian does not touch this file AFAIK.
Picked a random userspace from armhf (since you did not state which you are using)
~/build/cache/rootfs/bin# file su su: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, BuildID[sha1]=b24ceef58082e181650b17e52819559be2d3a97b, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

Werner's post in Kernel vendor or current was marked as the answerHi,
It depends on what you want to do with your device. You should check this sheet if the features you depend on are actually available in mainline linux: https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md
Also take note that you may run into trouble booting when switching kernels. The reason is that vendor kernel images may (I don't know for this particular board) also come with (from guts feel from the stoneage) 2017 vendor uboot which may have issues booting an up to date mainline kernel. Fixing can be a bit of a pain if you don't have a second arm64 device which you could plug your microsd (via usb adapter for example) into, chroot into and fix this.

Werner's post in Missing kernel updates was marked as the answerWe're in the middle of the May release, so new packages should eventually hit repo in a few days/weeks.

Werner's post in I'm need to find download for orange pi 4 pro? Is it just the regular orange pi 4 I download? was marked as the answerHi,
this board isn't supported, hence no images available.

Werner's post in current kernel from apt repo (6.16.8-edge-sunxi64) still vulnerable to local privilege escalation bug CVE-2026-31431 "copy.fail" was marked as the answerMultiple options:
- wait for upcoming 26.05 release which will most likely have an updated kernel package including a fix for this
- as suggested use nightly
- use the build framework to build an most up-to-date kernel package set by yourself (its very easy) which then can be installed via dpkg -i
However since "dirty frag" just showed up, there is more to fix anyway...
Edit: looks like fix for dirty frag hit upstream earlier today

Werner's post in Fsck system fs read-only, but don't boot was marked as the answerYou posted in the wrong sub-forum.
Your topic is about the orangepizero2w which for once has nothing to do with orangepizero2 and for the other is unsupported by Armbian. Therefore the topic was moved (and the tag adjusted) to the unsupported/community supported section of the forums, also known as staging. Latter do not offer dedicated sub-forums for each individual board.

Werner's post in USB 2 port not available was marked as the answerThe upstream default seems to be "otg" to allow users in userspace to change the usb port behavior.
Try this and use armbian-add-overlay
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&usb_host0_xhci>; __overlay__ { dr_mode = "host"; }; }; };

Werner's post in Linux kernel headers - missing package version was marked as the answerYes, they seem to be missing in repo.
As a quick fix I'd suggest to use the build framework to create yourself a set of deb files containing all necessary packages
code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5 BRANCH=current kernel
code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } copy the packages from output/debs to your board and use dpkg to install them.
-
Werner's post in New to join here. was marked as the answerHi, welcome.
Syncing forums and tags with supported boards is (still) a manual job and from time to time I either cannot keep up or miss things. Like in this case.
I'll fix this later and then move appropriately. Until then feel free to state your question in "Beginners" using the "other" tag.
Cheers
