Armbian 5.90 Orangepi-r1 Debian buster next
kernal was upgraded to 4.19.62 using aptitude (not that that matters)

armbian-config wont run because it wants dpkg-reconfigure which in /usr/sbin which in not in the path.

where dose this get set ?

root@orangepi:/home/james# $PATH
bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games: No such file or directory
root@orangepi:/home/james# 

Problem was fixed by rebooting.

It was something in the initial setup scripts did not finish.

It took several reboots to finish.

My mistake, this is not fixed.

 

if i login as root the path is correct for root.

if i login as user the path is correct for user.

if i su from user to root, the path stays set for user.

i think it has something to do with /etc/profile but i don't know how su interacts with it.
