I actually dont remember the exact order of install, but from what i can recall first i compiled and installed libva-v4l2-request-HACK_HEVC.zip and followed that tutorial then i downloaded h618_hwdec.tar.gz from https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic4018092.html#20840047, those are the libs i replaced in /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ install latest edge kernel from armbian-config (or enable rolling updates), download kernel hearders and enable gpu in device tree overlays to compile mesa first install deps than creat a python venv in mesa src directory to download latest meson in it sudo apt-get install bison build-essential ccache clang cmake flex git glslang-tools libclang-dev libdrm-dev libelf-dev libexpat1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libgtk-3-dev libllvm-18-dev libomxil-bellagio-dev libpciaccess-dev libsensors-dev libspirv-tools-dev libunwind-dev libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvulkan-dev libwayland-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxatracker-dev libxcb-dri2-0-dev libxcb-dri3-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-sync-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxdamage-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxrandr-dev libxshmfence-dev libxxf86vm-dev libzstd-dev llvm-18-dev meson ninja-build pkg-config python3-mako python3-pil wayland-protocols python3-venv python3 -m venv mesa_venv source mesa_venv/bin/activate pip3 install meson but if i tried to compile from inside the venv i was gettin a mako version error so i exited the venv (just open another terminal window) used this exact command to be able to build from outside the python3 venv PYTHON=~/src/mesa/mesa_venv/bin/python3 ~/src/mesa/mesa_venv/bin/meson setup build -Dbuildtype=release -Dprefix=/usr -Dgallium-drivers=panfrost -Dvulkan-drivers=panfrost -Dplatforms=x11 -Dvideo-codecs=all you need to add wayland to platforms if you're using it, i'm not (replace '~/src/mesa/mesa_venv/bin/python3' and '~/src/mesa/mesa_venv/bin/meson' with the path where you cloned the source...) install any other dependencies it complains about then install with sudo ninja -C build install you can confirm with glxinfo -B gabriel@orangepizero3:~/$ glxinfo -B name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): Vendor: Mesa (0xffffffff) Device: Mali-G31 (Panfrost) (0xffffffff) Version: 25.2.0 Accelerated: yes Video memory: 3922MB ... i don't know if that libva hack is working but vainfo recognize gabriel@orangepizero3:~$ LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=v4l2_request vainfo libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0 libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'v4l2_request' libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/v4l2_request_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.20 (libva 2.12.0) vainfo: Driver version: v4l2-request vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD and finally mpv (with yt-dlp installed) gabriel@orangepizero3:~/$ mpv --hwdec=drm --profile=fast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyzf2evNjwc (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1920x1080 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (opus 2ch 48000Hz) File tags: Uploader: Zen Mechanics Channel_URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC8n8afKsdaYuI7Pr0J4pgA Using hardware decoding (drm).

I've recently upgraded my NanoPi M4 V2 to Armbian_25.2.1_Nanopim4v2_bookworm_current_6.12.13_minimal.img.xz and since that, I have been getting random crashing of it, to the point that I have to manually power it down and up again to get it back running again. The only thing I've noticed is that this normally happens when there is intensive disk usage (like downloading a bunch of docker images, or when downloading large files from the internet). Here's the output from armbianmonitor -u pedro@nanopim4v2:~/docker$ armbianmonitor -u Collecting info and sending to paste.armbian.com, wait... dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted https://paste.armbian.com/jefilizufo Please post the URL in the forum where you've been asked for.

In the past we had dedicated image for rpi5 ... It could be added here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-firstrun#L112-L122

The Gnome desktop Power off menu selection and `sudo shutdown now` both reboot rather than powering down.

yeah, frustration is quite clear, but probably it is manufacturer who should be most/only interested in that. that also cost quite a lot, so it is probably better to demand where money were paid to, i guess.

That is the expected behavior. You always need to "install" u-boot after a new version from apt. The apt package just provides the binaries that you can install.

Tried rk3318 debian 12 with linux kernel 6.1.63 or up to 6.12.39 and no hdmi output, I installed on SD card. Though debian 11 with kernel 5.15.35 works Interesting thing that debian 12 with linux kernel 6.16.0-rc3 worked Is there anything I can do to provide useful information to debug?

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)

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.

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.

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!
