Ok, just wanted to know if you used the flatpak since they indicate on their wiki that could be troublesome. When you say "none of them can start automatically", what methods did you use to configure autostart? As they state at the top of the wiki/setup: "Distribution may provides some specific tool for autostart Fcitx and usually also set up environment variable together." Take notice of the word MAY. Seems Armbian does not. So what does im-config do as described on the next line after that on the wiki page? Does it fail or give you some hints of why autostart is not working? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Setup_Fcitx_5#im-config_(Debian/Debian-based/Ubuntu) This question is more fitting to ask the devs of the application, not the operating system. If you have problems with an application on windows for example, you generally don't ask microsoft for help but rather the developers of the application. But if you provide good enough information, we might be able to help you figure it out on this forum...

none which doesn't break other boards.

1. Ubuntu 26.04 current 6.18.29 xfce / Debian 12 bookworm Xfce current6.12.23 I have tried two different Armbian community‑build images, and no matter which input method I use (ibus, gcin, fcitx4, or fcitx5), none of them can start automatically. In offical Ubuntu/Debian desktop releases, input methods normally start by themselves without such complicated setup 2. just apt install fcitx5 and more 3 i have read wiki setup fcitx5 4. i use Firefox Please check the problems Thanks

Armbian has limited resources. And given that there are hundreds of different boards out there, generally that means that new boards only get supported either because the company behind them is willing to contribute to Armbian (and Orange Pi has made if very clear that they don't do anything to support their boards software after the fact as it would reduce sales for new boards they are constantly introducing), or some volunteer from the community steps up to volunteer their time to add support. Most boards under Armbian are community supported. So it relies on volunteers like you to do the work.

More information is needed. What armbian release do you use? How did you install fcitx5? Have you followed the instructions on their wiki? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Setup_Fcitx_5 Or read the FAQ? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/FAQ Are you using a chromium based browser?

Why this board, the orange pi 4 Pro, isn't supported?

Hi everyone, I have a ZQ01-v1.51 board (a clone of the MXQ Pro 5G—way to go, China!) with an RK3228A chip and Kingston eMCP memory. I’ve tried the Armbian and Educabox images, as well as LibreELEC 10, 11, and 12, and they all have a common issue: the system boots up to the login screen. The screenshots I’m sharing now are from Armbian 23.08.0 Edge 6.5.5 Minimal. The problem is that at a certain point during the boot process, the screen starts flickering, and then when I finally reach the login screen, the image lasts a few seconds before the screen goes black. However, the screen doesn’t turn off—there’s simply no image, the red LED stays lit, and nothing else happens. I don't have an SD card, so I'm using Lubuntu and Rkdeveloptool for flashing.

Thank you for quick reply! So if I get it right there is no working fix for the issue now?

I have up on this approach as this break ethernet on an actually supported board.

Why doesn’t it start automatically after I log out or reboot after installation? What is causing this issue? The official Orange Pi kernel version (Orangepizero3_1.0.4_debian_bookworm_desktop_xfce_linux6.1.31) does not have this problem and runs automatically. Instead, I get the error: “dbus can't connect to fcitx5.” Every time I need to open the fcitx5 settings again and click “Run” before I can input Chinese. I have no idea what is going on. Thanks.

Are you using the rolling release? Otherwise you should not use "full-upgrade" but rather just "upgrade". Not saying that is the reason for missing deps, but it definitely could be.

@Giunti & @samlevy0515 It would be helpful to the community if you responded to the developer trying to fix this issue rather than state a workaround. Thank you.

Have the same issue. I confirmed that my hardware works fine with other OS images. I tried to build this https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/b880d98b07090b0b59bb3096c508e5123b224037 commit, but no luck, ethernet still doesn't work. Maybe I built it wrong (are there specific instructions for building such variants?). Thank you

Did you try Yamagi Quake 2 with OpenGL ES1? A developer optimized it, and I assume it will also be a lot faster on a PBP, but it might be that certain mods don't work with GLES1. You have to build it like this: make -j4 WITH_SDL3=no with_gles1 Select OpenGL ES1 in the Video Settings. If you don't see blood particles (or they are squares), go to the game console and disable a certain module: gl1_pointparameters 0 Restart the game and have fun!

R76S migrated to use only uboot mainline, tested on real hardware, wait the next releases that's at the end of this month.

Thanks for sharing that—I ran into the exact same "EBWebView" access issue on Windows 11 and also only got it working by running as admin, so you're definitely not alone.

Collabora is proud to share that we've partnered with Flipper Devices to work together on building an open Linux platform for hardware hackers. The long-awaited Flipper One will be built on the Rockchip RK3576! View the full article

Got the same board running Armbian with ChatGPT. Because we performed a lot of experiments, here are summary of how we actually got it running tl.tr: upgrade_tool is wonderful, but running it on my board destroyed everything and I had to recover from backups. We backuped board completely, then intentionally corrupted android bootloader from adb and managed to get U-Boot running via modification of boot.scr Here is a chat-gpt generated summary:

To help others, here is the solution to my problem: I downloaded some firmware versions available here (https://xdaforums.com/t/help-with-a-s805x-box-official-firmware-update-borked-it.4646963/post-89791881) and used Android's Recovery mode to return the version. I clicked on "Apply update from" and used the .zip file for this. With this, the restart loop problems were resolved and now I can run Armbian directly from the pendrive. I'm trying to install it directly on the eMMC and I hope it works, I'll come back here with news.

Hello everyone , i tried flashing the slimboxtv using phoenix app , but failed in the middle of it and the device wont boot and wont go into bootloader mode anymore . Driver was installed successfully , but what i did that was not mentioned on the tutorial was plugging the usb cable after the power cable whipe holding the reset button as it didnt detect it via usb cable alone . Any way to unbrick ? Anyhelp would be appreciated

Hi, this board isn't supported, hence no images available.

Basically I'm confused I want to download. I need someone's help on this. I looked up the download multiple times and I still have not found it.

Orangepi4pro is pure shit. A lot of marketing and no support at all. No driver to install nvme, I ruined the SPI trying to install Assist, and now I have a unuseful expensive brick.

Yes. I just came to armbian-config and there I select en_US as default, but it does not change Mate to en_US. It change are only on cli.
