I have tried again with trixie, ensuring that the kernel patches were taken... no difference. Then I build a Bookworm Armbian image, with linux 6.15.4. It wasn't visible wether the kernel was downloaded from armbian, or the last one was included in my OS image. Just for fun, I tried it with Bookworm's default ffmpeg-5.1.6, with xfce with compositor off... and I got a 1080p MP4 playing with 5% mpv log: Note that mpv still complains about unsupported hwdec: drm I repeated the test with compositor ON: killall xfwm4 && xfwm4 --compositor=on --display :0.0 & I still got hardware accelerated 1080p. My guess up to this point is that the problem was trying it with Debian Trixie. Then I tried with the ffmpeg-x.x.x-v4l2 request Adding the repo, updating, and checking the update: Then I tried playing the mp4, with compositor ON. I got hardware acceleration: 5% CPU or less... and no complaint about unsupported hwdec: drm In summary: use Armbian Bookworm, linux edge 6.15.4, turning the compositor off is optional. Armbian Trixie (and the correspoinding ffmpeg 7.1.1) will result in "unsupported hwdec: drm"

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.

OK what makes you think you got hacked?

I have run armbianmonitor and here is the paste: https://paste.armbian.com/oyajulusax

mmcblk1 should be the uSDcard it is on Nobel and Bookworm, it was there before I got hacked.

No, Armbian has not become a total nightmare. But your posting all over the place, in several threads here and even Ubuntu ustream trackers with a bunch of unsubstantiated and obviously nonsensical claims IS absolutely a nightmare. PLEASE STOP! You make bogus claims faster than anybody can look into them. What made you think this was related to postgres? What makes you think Ubuntu downgraded their Gnome in Noble? Slow down, take a deep breath and stop being all over the place.

Please share details: Orange pi zero 3? Downloaded armbian OS? Self-built? What Linux version? No changed linux configurations? XFCE? 1080p HDMI display? What CPU% while playing a 1080p MP4?

You do have a mmcblk0, why do you think there should be a mmcblk1?

i've got working with compositor turned on

@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.

Armbian has become a total nightmare. Things keep breaking and theres no way to get a proper build of a past state anymore, so if I loose a copy of the original image I used for a machine then I am stuck again. Stuck with hardware that will not work again. And this hardware costs a lot of money, and its a lot of time too. Why Armbian was not written with this in mind I really don't know ??? The tree kernel lines supported seem to change randomly and are not in alignment with the linux kernel versions or seem to change randomly just at the wrong times.

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

There are no instructions to do this because it isn't supported and it is really, really, really hard because there are many, many, many dependencies across many different repositories all changing over time. While you may be able to get something to work in some cases, you have to deal with tracking down build errors and figure out what changed and what to roll that source back to.

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!

Same problem when I put `KERNELBRANCH="tag:6.12.22"` in userpatches/lib.config

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.

Its not working on a cleanly installed repo of Armbian/build ! userpatches/config-test.conf ``` EXPERT="yes" DEST_LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" BOARD="bananapim7" BRANCH="current" KERNEL_VERSION_LEVEL="6.12" KERNELBRANCH="tag:6.12.22" ``` https://paste.armbian.com/zoheruvemi

I would not expect an older release to run cooler.

Thought I got it, but not worked ! ``` cd cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.12__rockchip64__arm64/ git checkout v6.12.22 --force ```

Thank you for confirming, @SteeMan. I had the feeling this was a TV box but could not be 100% certain without your expertise.
