February 11, 20242 yr I installed Armbian from Armbian_23.11.3_Rpi5b_jammy_current_6.1.68_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz downloaded today (February 11th 24) After installation, I performed an upgrade/update. I have not yet installed any additional software. Issues; 1) when cinnamon desktop starts there is message displayed: Your system is currently running without video hardware acceleration 2) vgencmd always gives an error: VCHI initialization failed, no matter if I run it with sudo or not, or with which parameter(s) I run it. armbian monitor -u gave link https://paste.armbian.com/lurunopoyo

February 11, 20242 yr Author I have to admit that I missed this one. Unfortunately, it does not help me because when I follow the steps, I end up with: E: The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources So far I haven't found a workaround on Google ...

It was confirmed working with Debian Bookworm based images. For Ubuntu Jammy you need to find a way to backport Mesa driver for Noble (try nobble instead of unstable) and it will also (probably) work.
February 12, 20242 yr Author Thanks for the suggestion Igor, but I haven't tried it, because I decided to switch to Bookworm before I read it, and then was too late. When I installed the Armbian_23.11.3_Rpi5b_bookworm_current_6.1.68_cinnamon_desktop.img I did not get the complaint about the acceleration. I installed the MESA v23.2, it went without a glitch! Unfortunately, a vcgencmd cmd fails the same way as in Jammy (i.e. VCHI initialization failed). I depend on vcgencmd to measure CPU temperature for cooling fan control, so I'll have to switch to some other way for fan control. Thanks for your help!
