Before these actions, it is necessary to verify users with UID >= 1000. And in the loop for the found users, first check the existence of the home directory and if it exists, then do these actions (cp, chown).

Do I understand correctly? Are you logged in as a "benda" user? There is another user "unifi" in your OS, but he does not have a home directory? Or does the directory exist but the user "1003" has write rights? Who has "sudo" rights? UID 1003 or 1000?

I've played with TBS drivers a while ago for tinkerboard https://forum.armbian.com/topic/10464-how-to-add-a-kernel-module-for-usb-dvb-t-tuner/?do=findComment&comment=79667. At that time I thought that there were smth in vendor's code of 4.4 in dvb-core that prevented TBS drivers loading, though later I've found that TBS is also patching dvb-core and some other modules like CEC, frontends, etc. So may be solution would be to build all modules required for TBS drivers (stating from dvb-core? ) and use them instead of mainline/vendor or extract TBS drivers and other TBS changes from its repo as patches series to apply in armbian. Though I don't know how to compare the whole trees to extract TBS drivers as patches. Any hints will be appreciated.

Hi, I have an old Android 6 TV box that is slow (1GB ram), i think it's an S905 because it's the only kernel that can boot and its mainboard is a "gxbb p200" as I see on Aida64 : I just tried to boot the Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.139_Aml-s9xx-box_bookworm_current_6.6.33_minimal.img I flashed it on a 16GB microSD card on an SD card adapter. Then I added the line : FDT /dtb/amlogic/meson-gxbb-p200.dtb just after the lines label Armbian_community kernel /Image initrd /uInitrd fdtdir /dtb/ into extlinux.conf file. and then I renamed the u-boot-s905 file to u-boot.ext But the system still hangs at startup because it can't find the ROOT partition : I think it's because the kernel can't find the SD card reader, as an error appears: mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card I checked the partitions on gnome-disk utility and there are fine : Here is the box : The only distro that worked was Libreelec but the Wi-Fi does not accept the password. (it always says "invalid credentials) is it a box that's too old to be saved?

Thanks for the explanation, Paolo. @Tony3 Perhaps a more accurate name of the topic (problem) could gather people here who are aware of the issue. And the answers would be more qualified.

Hmm, can you give us a bit more information on how to reproduce this? If I start with a clean image, which you have used? Bullseye is not well maintained by upstream, so we don't provide images anymore. Its suggested to use Bookworm from some time. Edit: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/lib/functions/compilation/packages/armbian-zsh-deb.sh#L40-L54 Looks like this doesn't work well in your case. Needs some adjustments, ideas are welcome.

hello, im new here, i want to flash armbian to my MXQ 4K 5G with rk3228a, i manage to boot it to multitool but when i select Backup or Flash, it said no suitable emmc, what to do?

hi @jernej, can you help me? I want to have HDMI output, but I got error on "sun4i-drm display-engine: [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes", so I forced hdmi output with video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60e on armbianEnv.txt, but now I have "sun8i-dw-hdmi 6000000.hdmi: PHY PLL failed to lock" here is the dmesg, I also added some log 0001-add-dts-t98-616.patch uboot.patch

Hi, In the past I have had reasonable success with installing Armbian on S905x3 TV boxes. Recently I purchased a Bananapi M5 which uses the same processor with the hope of having a more reliable setup. I have tried to run the various versions of the desktop version for this board. The Noble version gets stuck at installation stage. The Cinnamon version takes forever to install but never completes the installation. The Bookworm version install very slowly but only to command line mode. On the other hand, Ubuntu Mate from the BananaPi site installs pretty fast and most, but not all, packages can be run satisfactorily. Any idea what is going on?

@jock. Yes it is weird, but i did not used the tbs one. Concerning the update of the TBS drivers, this is a bit out of my control, but I could as well raise the issue there and see what happens. Thanks to be proactive as I agree that twists are not long term solutions.

I have never flashed rockchip before, but have the appropriate software (+ drivers) for it, + done plenty of research I have a few different firmware sets, but the copy I have specifically for this device is uncompiled (separate boot.img etc. files) My concern is whether I accidentally deleted the userdata partition, as the firmware set I have doesn't include a .img for it. However, I will accessing a secondary device in the coming weeks (which I plan to extract / backup everything I need from) I am 100% open to any advice and assistance you might offer though, I'm grateful for any help that I can get!

After applying the following changes I was able to obtain the temperatures in my OPI5. https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/1411/files#diff-cd34c934b018d562cd6c276738f8e4ff18638bff20de91ef057e83a425dd68a1 Thank

Hello, I am trying to create a custom uboot using armbian. it's possible? I am using the following command but I cannot generate the "uboot.bin" to save it to the spi: ./compile.sh uboot-config BOARD=orangepi5 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_ONLY=u-boot CONFIGURATION=stable KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_ONLY=no PROGRESS_DISPLAY=plain RELEASE=bookworm UBOOT_ONLY=yes Thank.

did you have the firmware? know how to flash?

I do not seem to have the option to do this (Maybe a permission / new account restriction?) I have attempted both on mobile and desktop

@royk I will try another ISO that has the kernel you mention Armbian 24.5.1 bookworm vendor 6.1.43 minimal. Thanks Can I suggest some guide showing which isos are working or the ones that have less problems with this type of sbc?

@Manuel Carvajal With the 6.1 kernel I don't have issues with docker compose: Home Assistant and Frigate

And when changing kernel to 5.1 or the other you mention, is there any known error in the Orange pi5+? Since I installed open media vault 7 and with the previous isos with other kernel could not run docker compose 🥲

Can't really get a clue about the issue. I mean, in the mainline kernel cma_alloc seems to be used in a non-core driver, altough it is very seldom used: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/A/ident/cma_alloc so I guess that's not something client drivers should use. Going back to rockchip 5.10 vendor kernel source code laying on my notebook I see: paolo@armbian-build:~/rk3528/linux-rockchip/mm$ rgrep -IH 'cma_' | grep EXPORT cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_get_name); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_alloc); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_release); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_used_pages); cma.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cma_for_each_area); But those EXPORTs are not present in the mainline 5.10 kernel... This old LWN article perhaps explain the rationale: and things like dma_alloc_coherent() should be called instead: there are hundreds of references to that, and it's far easier call too. Perhaps the driver should be fixed to use the proper API, as exporting those symbols actually seems a violation to me. I don't have a rational opinion on including those small patches in the armbian vendor kernel; vendor kernel often host many of those shortcuts; unfortunately shortcuts are one of the reasons they are also hard to maintain. The ideal would fix the driver. edit: it puzzles me that the kernel linked by @Tony3 does not contain those EXPORTs either: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/blob/latest/mm/cma.c

@Manuel Carvajal Sorry I didn't read that you were using the 6.8 kernel. With the mainline kernel not everything works yet. With the Rockchip kernel (5.10.x and 6.1) it will work.

I'm just not aware of this topic (satellite TV). @Igor @jock The changes in the published patches seem insignificant. Does it make sense to add them to the build system?
