In Gnome, there are two shortcuts, armbian-config and armbian-configNG. What's the difference?

You can check this way: type armbian-upgrade armbian-upgrade is /usr/bin/armbian-upgrade cat /usr/bin/armbian-upgrade #!/bin/bash trap "exit" INT TERM [[ $EUID != 0 ]] && exec sudo "$0" "$@" apt update apt -y upgrade apt clean apt -y autoremove exit 0

Does running ambian-upgrade do the exact same thing as running apt update and apt upgrade?

Worked for me Enabled the Panfrost gpu driver in overlay settings in armbian-config.

You can try to change the value via cli: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0 I don't think you will find text config files for gnome, you should use gsettings or dconf editor. Take a look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME#Configuration

@svyatoslav Recommended usb wifi. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

I thought there should be any console output to hdmi, ok will try with uart. By the way @fensoft are you using armbian on it? is it stable?

laibsch, thanks for your answer. I tried several kernels from the 6.x.y series on Armbian, but the same error occurred in all of them. I think this error did not occur with the 4.14 series kernel downloaded from the board manufacturer's official website. However, when I built and started the 4.14.111+ kernel downloaded from the board manufacturer's github, the following error occurred. dmesg (Friendlycore linux kernel 4.14.111+) [ 2.243976] thermal thermal_zone0: failed to read out thermal zone (-16) It seems that there has been an error in the thermal driver (dts) of the allwinner H5 SoC for quite some time. I have already uninstalled Armbian and cannot take logs, so I would like to submit a bug report once I install Armbian again and can take logs.

you don't have to. it's already trying to boot by default to sd. you can either try to install the same android as me, change the sdcard or plug an usb2serial cable @ 1.5Mbauds to check uboot logs.

Thank you for your support. but, Where is the file configured? I want to pre-set it in advance

Hello I was able to build image (both debian and ubuntu) according to this instructions: https://gist.github.com/fensoft/1ff3ef81ab2bd9ed9364a564aa2cbcd5?permalink_comment_id=5576642#file-build-sh image is flashed to microsd card. However tvbox does not boot from sdcard - I see that it boots up regulary to android. Also I have found that in AV jacker on board there is button, so if hold it during boot - you are into Android recovery with options (reboot system/ reboot to bootloader/ fastboot /udpates ADB /updates from SD card/ factory reset /wipe / power off) The question is how to make TV box boot from sdcard? I was setting up armbian to orange pi - and it by default boots from sdcard. But with tv box according to posts and videos also should.... I'm trying to flash: Transpeed ATV Android 13 TV BOX RK3528 With Voice Assistant TV Apps Dual Wifi Quad Core Cortex A53 Support 8K 4K Video BT5.0 with 4G ram: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007785484949.html

Dear @brentr, It seems to be a common bug that keeps reappearing. And as far as I understand, it's a fix that needs to be applied to the kernel because otherwise, it won't work. Isn't there a way to make an external fix, which the user can install if needed and which can be applied to any kernel? If this bug is hardcoded, I imagine it's impossible and must be modified every time the kernel is compiled... I'm sorry I can't help much except by reporting the bug. Thank you for your contribution and the work you do, both to you and the community.

Hi, In Gnome settings-> power there should be a "Automatic Screen Blank" toggle which you can switch to disabled. I checked this in a quite new Gnome version (48), not sure what version you have.

Hello, I'm trying to connect hw125 to orange pi r1, but nothing happens. I searched both on the internet and through gpt. The kernel is the latest, I compiled it myself.

hey , i almost gave up installing armbian , thank you for your support , for last time , im gonna try this ,i can understand dtb stuffs but, could you please tell me what armbian image i should download ? or could you please share me the link , i think whole time i downloaded wrong image ,

Loading a kernel module has nothing to do with enabling a device tree overlay.

Turning it on using armbian-config works and is easy (overlay).

Tell me what external WiFi2. 4g, 5g USB to buy that is not expensive but supports armbian.

You should of course monitor the temperatures now to see if the board becomes abnormally hot (use your hand or the programs sensors or btop, for example). That being said, a quick web search suggests to me that you are simply seeing a software problem AKA bug. I suggest you open a bug ticket on the Armbian bug tracker and patiently wait for the board maintainer to have a look into the issue. https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo-2/ lists https://github.com/spendist as the maintainer for your board. Maybe you can send an e-mail? sources: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9501-opzero-h5-after-update-41917-the-cpu-temperature-is-wrong/ https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/IMX8MP-not-able-to-read-Thermal-zone0-temperature/m-p/1655665 https://community.nxp.com/t5/QorIQ/Temperature-is-not-available-at-sys-class-thermal-thermal-zoneX/m-p/1343009

The breakage occurred between Armbian 25.2.1 and Armbian 25.2.2

Great choice! TBH not many people asked for add this at first run - probably as many use cases are headless / servers and people are used to just run command on their own. But agree, its one of those "nice to have". This is open source world. Anyone can contribute a feature, fix a bug. Donations are here for things that you already have. If you want feature to be fixed or added, line is very long - most of this forum is seeking for something. And there is just a few people on the other side, willing to pay with their private time for the common software maintenance. Donations, what people are willing to pay / contribute, cover less then 1% of the costs. Its a beer, not trade money. End users would destroy the project in no time, if we accept donations as a payment for the work. It is impossible to cover remaining 99%. Here and there yes, long term, no.

I just verified that the arecord command fails also with kernel 6.12.15 So, we now know the breakage occurred between 6.12.12 and 6.12.15

Thank you for that information. Indeed, you have partially upgraded to noble by now. It appears, though, as if you also have some packages that predate even jammy, like clang-10 and crda and possibly others. Did you originally install this board with a release before jammy? I see you do have armbian-focal-desktop-xfce installed, for example. For housekeeping, I suggest you do the following now before anything else. "sudo apt update;sudo apt upgrade" to make sure all packages are up-to-date in jammy. You might run into trouble because some of your packages are already from the noble pocket. Let me know if there were any issues. Next, try to simplify your package set by marking as many packages as automatically installed as possible to make the dist-upgrade path easier. Try to trim the output of "apt-mark showmanual" down to the minimum by marking them via "sudo apt-mark auto $pkg". Specifically, I think all your obsolete packages should be marked as automatically installed. # these look like clear candidates for removal unless some other package depends on them sudo apt-mark auto fonts-ubuntu-font-family-conso libhogweed5 libicu66 libjson-c4 libmpdec2 libnettle7 libpcre2-posix2 libpython3.8-minimal libsepol1 libssl1.1 libssl3t64 libwebp6 numix-blue-gtk-theme perl-modules-5.30 python3.8-minimal systemd-resolved ttf-ubuntu-font-family # these should be clear as well, but have a closer look if you want sudo apt-mark auto armbian-focal-desktop-xfce crda hddtemp Periodically, while trimming down the list of explicitly installed packages, check with "sudo apt autoremove --dry-run" before "sudo apt autoremove" to trim down on the installed packages. Then show me the output of "aptitude search '~i !~M' " once you are done. With regards to your filesystem issue, indeed it seems to be less complicated than I feared. I suggest you boot into your computer, umount sda1 and fsck it. That should take care of it. Monitor the drive if errors come back and if so, consider replacing it.

I was able to duplicate this problem. Audio output appears to be working in both edge and current branches. But, The "arecord: set_params:1416: unable to install hw params" error occurs in the current branch as well. This is running kernel 6.12.28 the example arecord command you gave appears to work in kernel 6.12.12. So, the breakage occurred between 6.12.12 and 6.12.28
