January 4, 20233 yr Environment: Armbian on an Odroid-HC2 (Homecloud 2) which uses the odroid-xu4 firmware. Reproduction: After initial installation on the welcome banner "RX today:" always shows a nice value. Install and run some docker containers. This changes /sys/class/net/ . AFAIK it adds so called "virtual network interfaces". From then on the Armbian welcome screen displays like this: Error: Interface "veth•••••••" not found in database. Note: • redacted by me. Analysis: /etc/default/armbian-motd … PRIMARY_INTERFACE="$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -v lo | egrep "enp|eth" | head -1)" … The current regular expression falsely matches veth••••••• (created by Docker). $ ls -1 /sys/class/net/ br-•••••••••••• docker0 enx•••••••••••• lo veth••••••• I fixed it for myself by changing PRIMARY_INTERFACE to this: "$(ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | grep -v lo | egrep "^en" | head -1)" Fix Proposal: A developer with proper knowhow of the network interface naming conventions changes the default regular expression / pipe for PRIMARY_INTERFACE so that it safely only matches a real hardware interface for all typical systems, also working fine when using docker or other software which may create virtual network interfaces or other stub like entries there. Notes: This bug was already discussed in a forum thread in a "how to help yourself" manner. This here now is a formal bug report with the inquiry to please fix it. I ran through the bug submission wizard at https://www.armbian.com/bugs/ which eventually led me here. Edited January 4, 20233 yr by porg Added note that this is a bug report
