it could be that there is a bug in one distro that is not present or already fixed in the other it could be that one image is missing a package that should have been installed (this would be a bug in Armbian if it affects one of the images we publish) best you can do is to report bugs if you think there is one

throw out an offer and see if you get any takers 😉

That is true but almost impossible to understand for an outsider.

https://forum.armbian.com/subscriptions/ Being a Gold Partner would be a good start. Software development is expensive and unfortunately getting 10 bucks here and there are simply not enough to make a living from for anyone.

@dr_toggleswitch If that concerns you, may I suggest to stop using torrents? It appears you don't have a good understanding how torrents work.

Desktop images have some standard adjustments, like other wallpaper or certain extensions enabled. Driver, or kernel-wise, they are, depending on things mentioned earlier, identical to server images. You can check the build framework on Github for all the code.

Found the fix, run: sudo git config --system --add safe.directory '*' # For all users and all repositories

there is annoucement for a better support in, but they not give the build :

@going @djurny @IBV Reason why I need an working hardware clock: Because my access point need to work without internet connection, but with always the right date and time. Following made the battery operated hardware clock ds3132 to work: OS: Armbian Bookworm from 24-04-2025 apt-get update (No upgrade! ) Edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt add following lines: overlays=i2c0 dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307 Edit /etc/modules add following lines i2c-dev aml_i2c Edit /etc/rc.local add following lines echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/new_device hwclock -s Reboot Check date and eventual correct date and time. Check if the i2c has the right status with: i2cdetect -y 0 ==> address 068 should show UU Check hwclock is communicating with: hwclock --verbose Save the right system time to the hwclock with: hwclock -w Check if you can read hwclock with: hwclock -r

hi，Kind hearted people ubuntu22 gome desktop How to configure the default settings of non-stop screen and non automatic screen lock？？ I tried to execute: sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target it can only solve the problem of not entering sleep mode！！！ But the screen will still go black, So how to set the default black screen never??? help ,help

May 10th versions not booting

I normally like building server images because they are small and fast to compile. An then I can add the wanted desktop by "sudo apt install gnome" or other desktop later. But, sometimes I wonder if the desktop images have more features, like hardware drivers, than a server image with an added desktop afterwards. Can this be the case? Or does server images contain the same drivers and hardware support as a image built with a destop included?

After building many images, often there are combinations of kernel, sbc card and linux base that will just give an error, like this one: Getting sources from Git [ kernel:6.1 rk-6.1-rkr5.1 ] fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/home/steven/build/cache/git-bare/shallow-kernel-6.1' To add an exception for this directory, call: git config --global --add safe.directory /home/steven/build/cache/git-bare/shallow-kernel-6.1 [💥] Error 128 occurred in main shell [ at /home/steven/build/lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:211 run_host_command_logged_raw() --> lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:211 run_host_command_logged() --> lib/functions/logging/runners.sh:193 fetch_from_repo() --> lib/functions/general/git.sh:129 kernel_prepare_git() --> lib/functions/compilation/kernel-git.sh:20 do_with_hooks() --> lib/functions/general/extensions.sh:567 do_with_logging_unless_user_terminal() --> lib/functions/logging/section-logging.sh:97 compile_kernel() --> lib/functions/compilation/kernel.sh:35 artifact_kernel_build_from_sources() --> lib/functions/artifacts/artifact-kernel.sh:240 artifact_build_from_sources() --> lib/functions/artifacts/artifacts-obtain.sh:34 obtain_complete_artifact() --> lib/functions/artifacts/artifacts-obtain.sh:280 build_artifact_for_image() --> lib/functions/artifacts/artifacts-obtain.sh:392 main_default_build_packages() --> lib/functions/main/build-packages.sh:102 full_build_packages_rootfs_and_image() --> lib/functions/main/default-build.sh:31 do_with_default_build() --> lib/functions/main/default-build.sh:42 cli_standard_build_run() --> lib/functions/cli/cli-build.sh:25 armbian_cli_run_command() --> lib/functions/cli/utils-cli.sh:136 cli_entrypoint() --> lib/functions/cli/entrypoint.sh:176 main() --> compile.sh:50 ] [💥] Cleaning up [ please wait for cleanups to finish ] Is there an easy fix for this, or does it mean that the combination of build options are not valid?

Since I'm not capable of writing any code, how much do i have to donate to get it added? :-)

I've attached the .xsession-errors log file content. As in regards to updating packages.... I always update my board every time I start it and I don't really pay attention to what it updates as I always update everything. After you mentioned about xsession errors, I noticed that in the bottom left corner there was a drop down list with the xsession (wayland and X11). I saw that by default Wayland is selected and when I selected X11 it just worked. xerror.log

Probably because nobody implemented this yet. Feel free to do so and send a PR.

Use edge or vendor for more features. current will stick to 6.12 LTS kernel which will receive fixes only.

Ok, maybe I made a mistake before. I tried with an no secure-boot .img file and it give a long list of DRAM params and I put it in the file below. But I don't know What I can do with it... I will appreciate your help. Thanks. DRAM_Transpeed_M98txt

I received my new LCD today. It is a 9486 but luckily it worked with my 9488 dts HOWEVER: The touch xpt2046/ads7846 is not sending any events…checking with evtest… same dts works with the ili9488 4.0” I already tried changing the GPIO polarity (level and clock transition) has anyone worked with any of the red 3.5 lcd ili9488 or 9486

Thanks again @Nick A, I already did it, the file I got, cant understood well, and there are very low information about dram, just 3 params dram {phandle = <0x7a>;}; vcc-dram = <0x04>; dram = "/dram"; dtb.0.dts

I don't think increasing the SPI clock can help Try adding "BGR=<1>;" under the rotation line... this works for the ili9341, but i dont know about the driver that you use.

Hi Dan, how did you go with this one. Any luck? I didn't know these chips supported sleep and hybernate modes.
