ok

Why do you ask? The instructions linked to above don't have that as one of the steps for a normal install.

You use a Desktop/Xfce installation, and it is for a low-power ARM64 computer. So I would not be surprised if in modern Xfce, the Power Management default to suspends after 30 minutes or so. Last time I used Xfce was when Debian Buster, also then in then I remember in the GUI there should be some system setting where you can configure power settings. So there you can make sure that it never enters suspend state. I do not know how to configure that from command line, but that should also be possible, maybe search internet. You can also look into the journal and see what happened, maybe something is wrong. 7 Watts is way too high for suspend state at least, but maybe things connected on USB still draw power and is it only the CPU that is halted. Other option is not to use a Desktop image/installation, but a CLI for server/IoT variant. Those images should have suspend disabled.

This might help you: https://github.com/nyecov/roobi-config-anyOS It details how install basically any OS via Roobi

Just confirmed. Running bookworm on the same RockPi-S, it "just works". Any suggestions on what happened in Trixie and if there's a fix?

Can't seem to get bluetooth working with trixie and pipewire. I can pair & trust, just can't connect. Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-profile-unavailable Anyone else had this issue? Was working fine on a cubie running bullseye, so next maybe I'll try and older os and see...

Gave up after half an hour or more unplugged it for 10 secs, booted normally on power up but slow due to fchecking every drive in it, around 25Tb found the settings and turned that excrement off. Ignoring it to check. fix dinner, need a new cook, but I'd have to fire me. I think I've got it from here. Thank you, a bunch, eselarm.

However above that is a whole slew of failures "network unreachable" and ip a or ip r both show the help screen. Let me run armbian-config again, from here. Did, network didn't survive a reboot. Went to its own monitor and reran armbian-config, no net settings. reset them again. ping yahoo.com, worked. Ran sudo apt update, got 181 pkgs to update, did sudo apt upgrade -y & watched it for half an hour. Completed this time. rebooted, network survived. So I should be able to restore it from its own backups once I get it to mount the /raid6. Found it had a /raid6 dir for a mount point snooped thru /dev/disk/ to the by-id, found the file with myraid in its name, mounted it, ran df to see a normal report, then it suspended. Never did that before. Ever. Now, whats the magic potion that un-suspends it?, it went into suspension while I was logged in from here, and nothing I can do to the keyboard or mouse, local or remote wakes it up again. Power draw is down to about 7 watts. I need to totally disable that, how do it?

Using Network-manager as a slave to armbian-config, no root pw. sudo for everything. Let me see if I can login from "ssh -X gene@amanda" using the ip in my hosts file. Yes, so I can copy/paste: This is the final screen of a "sudo apt update" commend. Had to nuke my local keys first.

must i connect it to pc?

I missed the fact that you have an orange pi zero 2w... I think there's a success experience with that orange pi in this thread or in this Allwinner section. Please share if you have success

I downloaded and extracted that image and now run it as container on my ROCK5B. Just wiping the root password first and then only configure root and then: root@bananapim5:~# apt update Get:1 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease [5,467 B] Hit:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble InRelease Get:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-security InRelease [126 kB] Get:4 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable/main arm64 Packages [434 B] Get:6 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-updates InRelease [126 kB] Get:7 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-backports InRelease [126 kB] Get:5 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble InRelease [39.2 kB] Get:8 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-security/main arm64 Packages [1,882 kB] Get:9 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble/main all Packages [9,047 B] Get:10 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble/main arm64 Packages [769 kB] Get:11 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-security arm64 Contents (deb) [167 MB] Get:12 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble/noble-utils arm64 Packages [26.3 kB] Get:13 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble/noble-utils all Packages [5,408 B] Get:14 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble/noble-desktop arm64 Packages [16.7 kB] Get:15 https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt noble/noble-desktop all Packages [4,984 B] Get:16 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-security/restricted arm64 Packages [4,059 kB] Get:17 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-security/universe arm64 Packages [1,193 kB] Get:18 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-security/multiverse arm64 Packages [38.3 kB] Get:19 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-updates/main arm64 Packages [2,235 kB] Get:20 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-updates arm64 Contents (deb) [175 MB] Get:21 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-updates/restricted arm64 Packages [4,224 kB] Get:22 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-updates/universe arm64 Packages [1,899 kB] Get:23 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-updates/multiverse arm64 Packages [38.0 kB] Get:24 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-backports/main arm64 Packages [49.4 kB] Get:25 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-backports arm64 Contents (deb) [782 kB] Get:26 http://ports.ubuntu.com noble-backports/universe arm64 Packages [34.7 kB] Fetched 360 MB in 42s (8,497 kB/s) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done 304 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them. So that seems OK. Now running apt full-upgrade -y and that works fine so far. Note that this does use the networking and kernel of the host, but a fast way to test userspace. no release file might have to do with something wrong in armbian repo mirrors. I am in the EU, might be different internet paths/routes/mirrors for you. I am actually unsure how this all works, so might also be something in the network setup in the noble image itself. Ubuntu uses netplan.io, that I could not get working with comples bridges and VLANs I use on ARM64 computers, so I avoid Ubunto for that and also in Armbian Debian images, I purged netplan.io and made sure I got NetworkManager working. And openresolve as DNS. You say you set up networking, I am not sure what that means. I mostly set a fixed IP address for a MAC address of the computer, then leave rest automatic as possible. You can setup more dedicated named/permanent profile with nmtui of course as well.

I've already overwrote the failed update, so I'll need to get the latest mdadm and a few others to recover. The backup data should still be good if I could fix the os. But while this is a much more recent build than it showed me 2 hrs ago, how much longer will it have a release file? Also the Imager utility won't run on this amd64 bookworm, GLIBC is too old. Not your fault. So I wrote Armbian_25.5.1_Bananapim5_noble_current_6.12.28_xfce_desktop.img with dd, booted fine, ran Armbian config and setup the network. Switched it to rolling release. Updated apt and was refused 6 times, no release file. So I'm dead in the water w/o a paddle. So I switched it back to STABLE, same results no release files yet this was a 8 or 9 day old build. Whats going on?

That's the version I'm running as well, and I have no issues either. I think replacing the device tree (.dtb) at this point only helps with the onboard flash speed?

Ethernet should be working (after rebooting), but wifi doesnt work out of the box.

It seems that I will definitely have to change the connection pins and something else, because I have a raspberry pi zero 2w, not an orange pi zero 3. Well, okay, I'll try to use your DTS only to adapt it for my board when I have free time.

Hi Pami, I haven't had time to check your connection list and DTS. The LCD you showed is exactly the same I have I have both ili9486 and ili9488, and they work with the same connections, same DTS, same bin, same driver You should be able to copy all the wiring I describe in the DTS, the DTS, bin/txt and armbianEnv.txt line, and it should work. Start from a fresh self-built armbian OS, with the panel-mipi-dbi driver activated in the linux config phase.

I currently have a X96 Air S905X3 4GB/64GB box that has 1Gbit ethernet and a USB 3.0 port that works well with Armbian. This was bought 5 years ago for only 35 USD. I would like to find another box for Armbian that also has 1000M/1Gbit ethernet + USB 3.0. The same or similar boxes are selling for 50-60USD at the moment which is a lot for an old box. Are there any other boxes with 1Gbit ethernet at a low price that work with Armbian? Not bothered about other features, wifi quality, performance otherwise - just Gbit ethernet and USB 3. Open to all processors - Amlogic, Allwinner, Rockchip etc

If I look at https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m5/ the SBC is still supported. There were infrastructure problems, but that was before last weekend. I upgraded several Armbians (rockchip64 and sunxi) but are Debian Trixie based. I do not know about Ubuntu based and Amlogic/meson, but kernel is anyway Armbian and Ubuntu servers should be online. If you still have the old Ubuntu, it should be possible to upgrade in-place, so not new image, but edit sources.list files and then run normal upgrade.

Back again with a diff problem. I just tried to update 141 pkgs, from a meson-56 kernel to a meson-58 but the update died at the new initrd stage. Last update run was in November 25. Then I find on a reboot, that the noble 25.xx I was using no longer has a release file. So I dl'd the newest xfce version, burn it, boot it, get the net working & find its expired too. No updates or additions like mdadm can be downloaded. This is my backup server & has 11.2T of raid6 storage with backups of my whole 8 machine network on it. Or did have. Do you intend to support the bpi-m5 with further releases or is it now history? I know the release file timeout is not Your problem & you cannot fix it, but a respin of the latest ubuntu LTS would sure would be appreciated.

mxq pro 4k maybe "shortpin" Hope it is useful

Have you followed the information available on the download page? https://www.armbian.com/amlogic-s9xx-tv-box

Maybe are you experiencing the same issue ? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/56946-h3-reboot-issue/

Today I needed to reboot one of the Orange Pi which is at a remote location.... It did not come back to life.... Maybe some update removed the extraargs=reboot=warm parameter ....
