On a fresh Buster Minimal install, what is required to get armbian-config fully functional?

 

apt install armbian-config 'works' but some functions don't, for instance it fails setting the locale as dpkg-reconfigure errors as 

usr/lib/armbian-config/jobs.sh line 839 dpkg-reconfigure : command not found

 

EDIT:

In armbian-config I selected 'full firmware package' and rebooted, time zone settings now work.

Was odd that the welcome page said run armbian-config (beta) but it had to be installed manually via apt.

Is the debconf package installed?

If not this should be added to minimal package list.

Or better make armbian-config depend on it.

Probably better, yes. Minimal image should stay as minimal as possible.

 

 

@Technicavolous https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2689

Do you have a chance to test this change?

fresh download just now of minimal image.

debconf is present.

still no armbian-config until

apt install armbian-config

 

during install

not found 151.101.6.132

failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/unzip/unzip_6.0-23+deb10u1_armhf.deb 404 not found 151.101.6.132

 

couldn't get a wired or wireless connection to do armbianmonitor -u

 

second time pretty much the same

 

downloaded again and burned image

debconf is present

no armbian config

nmtui to set network

apt install armbian-config

not found 151.101.6.132

armbian-config install fails

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

N: InRelease changed version from 10.7 to 10.8

 

still no armbian-config

apt install armbian-config  works

armbianmonitor -u states there is a network problem

armbian-config runs and is able to forget and then activate again wifi

can ping yahoo.com but armbianmonitor -u reports network error

 

@Wernerplease educate me on how to properly test your fix. I am coming up fast but haven't done that yet... but I do have a build system running.

Not our issue. Seems like the Debian mirror has issues. Simply retry later.

was not a problem after apt update and apt upgrade.

Makes sense but I'm spoiled by armbian-config and *assumed* it would be there. Maybe a note on the download page that it really IS minimal lol

 

Thanks!
