At the same time as mmcblk1 disappeared someone had changed the ethernet port over to the secondary port as I could not get into the machine and tried the second port which had been configured to the same static IP address as the primary port was on.

You are right. I just downloaded something from youtube and assumed it was H264. When I checked it in VLC in my PC, the codec is: AOMedia's AV1 video (av01) I picked another mp4, which I verified in VLC as H264-MPEG4, 720p, and it played with 10% CPU This test below is with Bookworm XFCE, compositor ON, Linux 6.15.4 with default configuration Then I repeat the test with a 1080p H264 mp4. mpv tries to use hardware acceleration, but the mpv is black and there's continuous DRM_IOCTL errors: Then I tried this inside /etc/mpv/mpv.conf hwdec=drm-prime drm-drmprime-video-plane=primary drm-draw-plane=overlay and the 1080p H264 starts playing fluidly with just 40% CPU (compositor off) With compositor on, I get same 40% CPU Same video glitches, with or without compositor, but I am getting hardware acceleration (although there's the hwdec unsupported message)

>PLEASE STOP! This is both a time and money nightmare for me. I am giving as much information as I can in order to give feedback in order to get support. What I am posting is not all nonsense ! Okay the Gnome downgrade was incorrect and was based on what ifnformation I could get at the time. It is kernel dependant. On 6.12.32-current-rockchip64 and 6.12.39-current-rockchip64 the display is failing, 6.12.22-current-rockchip64, and 6.12.17-current-rockchip64 the display is working fine. 6.15.1-edge-rockchip64 is also working fine. No sure about 6.15.7 6.16.0-rc3-edge and 6.16.1-edge are not even booting, with BananaPi-M7. I am going to get kernel output using USB UART for all these boots.

Problem solved... My ignorance... For inexplicable reasons, u-boot was updated without an error message, but actually NOT written to the SD card. The ancient version apparently cannot start without uImage. Now I have manually written the SD card - more precisely an image of it - with the new u-boot and then wrote a new SD card from that image, uImage can be deleted and it runs...

And it turns out that nothing can be done? For some reason, it works for everyone, but something happened to me and it doesn't work anymore.

I started building mesa 25.2 according to https://docs.mesa3d.org/install.html When I started meson, it complained about meson-1.0.1 is too old (Bookworm)... needs 1.4.0 Trixie will provide meson 1.7... is this what you did? Start with a self built Armbian-Trixie? When you type "replace the libs", do you mean to uninstall debian package, and install the just compiled source? libva2 - Video Acceleration (VA) API for Linux -- runtime Is this independent from ffmpeg (I only see libav in ffmpeg, not libva) Does mpv need any special configuration?

How did you flash the u-boot ? Were you able to run armbian with that u-boot and install on the NVME drive? Thanks

use my works: h616.tar.xz

follow the official instructions, change these dts to user overlay, simplicifed deployment just use `sudo make install` h616.tar.xz

Currently I am running HA supervised on Debian 12 bookworm. Debian boots from USB drive without any issue. So your suggestion should work I believe. Thanks for the suggestion. You are quick as always to reply.

I would. Happened in the past but no clue which hw. Probably also something aw related.

This should have been addressed: https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/pull/373 May take a while until an updated kernel is available via apt. You can always build a up-to-date package by yourself using the build framework.

@Igor Is this something that Armbian can add automatically for a board? Maybe that it did in the past?

Thank you for your generous offer, @coroner21. I am interested and would love to use this unit to keep it supported in Armbian Core. My goal would be to help keep it at standard supported status. I was already able to lift the BPi M2+ from community to standard support status. I have sent you a PM.

Thank you for sharing your success story for the benefit of everybody.

I cannot verify your claim that Ubuntu "reverted" to Gnome v44. Noble has v44 indeed. v46 is not anywhere in a Ubuntu release so my guess is you shot yourself in the foot with some random PPA or whatever repo out there. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3 There is no shortage of boards out in the wild, nobody would think that. What there is, is a shortage of people willing to fund development, be it users or companies. Big shout out to those who do and to our volunteer devs, thank you!

Thank you for your work and I'm happy you fixed it for your installation. It would be good to have this be incorporated into Armbian itself.

Hello Petersonn, hope you will enjoy your Armbian time!

I tried this in a raspberry pi with graphic services stopped. Labwc exits normally I tried it in a virtualbox x86, with Debian trixie netinstall (barebones+labwc+seatd). Labwc exits normally. I think other armbian users (probably non allwinner) have used labwc, but they never complained about Labwc crashes. YES. I will try it with a true intel system. I will also try the stable-version Linux (instead of edge).

good luck

great, keep us posted and be sure to invite Danubio to post here directly, too!

Never mind, I found this old image with built-in desktop environment and I was able to upgrade it to current. https://users.armbian.com/jock/web/rk322x/armbian/beta/Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rk322x-box_noble_current_6.6.56_xfce_desktop.img.xz

@HqnicolasI tried following your post but not successful. Do you have another method for that. Thank you.
