Thanks for the response! For the kernel switch, is it using armbian-config to pick under my current installation? linux-image-vendor-rk35xx=25.2.3 v6.1.99 Is there anything else I need to do as well? Thanks!

Thank you SteeMan and Werner. I will try out your recommendations.

How to reset the armbian system and restore the initial configuration operation

... but at the same time, others with H3-based boards seem to have similarly high idle temps reported. @Domas Do you own one of those infrared themometers or have another way to ascertain the true temperature of your board? As the title of this thread says, I am curious about the accuracy of the onboard sensors. Maybe the sensors are even accurate but they need proper software calibration.

unsupported host os for build environment. Grant the user access to Docker or use a Noble host.

split into new topic. Use one of the curl commands mentioned in your logs go upload full logs to a paste server. These will contain more information to debug this.

I understand this now. So autoinstalled flag does not cover base packages out of the box. I assumed that manually installed is something i have installed explicitly (as per apt install XXXX). Apparently autoinstalled is the flag that means "I was installed as a dependency only, please wipe me out whenever nothing depends on me"

Imagine you have package A and it depends on package B. "sudo apt install A B" will install both packages (this might happen during the image build process for the Armbian project). Now you remove package A, package B is no longer needed but is kept around nonetheless because it is not marked as automatically installed. Or imagine package A depends on libB-1 in focal. You upgrade to jammy but something got stuck half-way and somehow libB-1 dropped its mark of being auto-installed (apt does this sometimes to prevent problems). Now the new version of package A in jammy depends on libB-2 and you have both libB-1 and libB-2 installed. Often, this will not be a problem, but let's say you also have package C which conflicts with libB-1. Now you are starting to be in trouble because how is apt to know if you should keep C over libB-1? apt is pretty smart and often makes the right decision, but I am sure you can see how it may not. That is where you are at. They are not obsolete but no longer required AKA explicitly installed or a dependency of one such package. When you mark a package as automatically installed but it is in fact providing something you want (a font, a background image, a function, ...) you will lose that if no other package depends on it and the package gets autoremoved.

Yes, both via vnc and ssh (putty)

This used to work perfectly after I found it, but yeah - point noted. Ok, I probably understand now whats happening. Thing is, this board is just used for very few simple tasks. From memory, I have manually installed x11vnc, samba, and something hp-printer related. All other stuff were either dependencies or something related to this. I still for some reason don't understand why marking font package as autoinstalled removed it. I have definately not installed it and it came from armbian at some point. See thats the issue. I did uninstall a font, that I shouldn't have. But again it is not something I installed manually. Weird situation. Also, desktop wallpaper disappeared. Technically I did everything correctly - fonts, among other things were not installed manually - and were marked as so after your advice. Maybe the question was why they are considered obsolete? Will check this tonight.

Thanks for replying c0rnelius, going, sorry for the delay. Testing 507 (2 Bananapi M4 Zero images available, minimal Trixie and minimal Plucky) I got same result: - no wifi adapter found - adding an ethernet usb I was able to activate network/ssh install/upgrade from another computer - no HDMI sound (no sound cards found) - no bluetooth adapter - no GPU - no change with overlays available (sun50i-h616-bananapi-m4-sdio-wifi-bt, sun50i-h616-gpu) Do you know about other overlays available elsewhere? Thanks Denis - -

Better to open a separate topic, Сергей Гладченко

Sad to say, I would not trust the armbian-tools. Some of them are very, very badly broken and I have zero trust they will get into better shape. That being said, armbian-upgrade is innocent enough, a simple shell script you can easily inspect. In general, it's better to stick with the tried and tested Ubuntu and Debian tools. The reason is simply the aborted upgrades. If this happens repeatedly, the situation obviously worsens and the large number of manual packages then make it impossible for apt and other tools to calculate a proper upgrade path. That is the situation you are in now. You will have a much better chance of fixing the upgrade once this list of manual packages has been trimmed down to the minimum. Did you check them if there were none that you might want to keep? Your screenshot looks a bit funky now, might be a missing font. In any case, it would be easy enough to fix the situation again by reinstalling whatever package you are missing. You do have access to your SBC also over ssh, right? It is not time for your dist-upgrade, yet. Make sure to clean up your situation first. Your screenshot with the 404 confirms my suspicion that somehow do-release-upgrade replaces ports.ubuntu.com sources with archive.ubuntu.com but armhf is not hosted there. Don't worry about that for now. We will deal with this later, I already have an idea. And indeed, this is a bug in do-release-upgrade and we certainly should report it in due time. I quickly looked through your list and consider the following pretty obvious candidates to be marked as automatically installed. # this is a large chunk of packages that should almost certainly be marked automatically installed sudo apt-mark auto fonts-arphic-ukai fonts-arphic-uming fonts-dejavu-core fonts-freefont-ttf fonts-guru fonts-guru-extra fonts-kacst fonts-kacst-one fonts-khmeros-core fonts-liberation fonts-nanum fonts-opensymbol fonts-stix fonts-symbola libacl1 libapparmor1 libargon2-1 libasn1-8-heimdal libassuan0 libatk1.0-data libatk-adaptor libattr1 libaudit1 libaudit-common libavahi-client3 libavahi-common3 libavahi-common-data libblkid1 libblkid-dev libbsd0 libbz2-1.0 libc6 libc6-dev libcairo2 libcap2 libcap2-bin libcap-ng0 libc-bin libc-dev-bin libcom-err2 libcrack2 libcrypt1 libcrypt-dev libcryptsetup12 libdatrie1 libdbus-1-3 libdconf1 libdebconfclient0 libdevmapper1.02.1 libdigest-sha-perl libdpkg-perl libestr0 libexpat1 libfastjson4 libfdisk1 libffi7 libffi-dev libfont-afm-perl libfontconfig1 libfontembed1 libfontenc1 libfreetype6 libfribidi0 libgail-common libgcc-s1 libgcrypt20 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin libgmp10 libgpg-error0 libgraphite2-3 libgsettings-qt1 libgssapi3-heimdal libgssapi-krb5-2 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common libharfbuzz0b libhcrypto4-heimdal libheimbase1-heimdal libheimntlm0-heimdal libhx509-5-heimdal libidn2-0 libip4tc2 libjbig0 libjpeg8 libjpeg-turbo8 libk5crypto3 libkeyutils1 libklibc libkmod2 libkrb5-26-heimdal libkrb5-3 libkrb5support0 libksba8 libldap-common liblocale-gettext-perl liblz4-1 liblzma5 libmnl0 libmount1 libmount-dev libncurses6 libncursesw6 libnewt0.52 libnl-3-200 libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-200 libnl-genl-3-dev libnotify-bin libnss-myhostname libp11-kit0 libpam0g libpam-gnome-keyring libpam-modules libpam-modules-bin libpam-runtime libpam-systemd libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libpangoft2-1.0-0 libpcre16-3 libpcre2-16-0 libpcre2-32-0 libpcre2-8-0 libpcre2-dev libpcre3 libpcre32-3 libpcre3-dev libpcrecpp0v5 libpixman-1-0 libpopt0 libproc-processtable-perl libprocps8 libproxy1-plugin-gsettings libproxy1-plugin-networkmanager libpython3-stdlib libroken18-heimdal librsvg2-2 librsvg2-common libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules-db libseccomp2 libselinux1 libselinux1-dev libsemanage-common libslang2 libsmartcols1 libsqlite3-0 libss2 libssl-dev libstdc++6 libsystemd0 libtasn1-6 libthai0 libthai-data libtiff5 libtinfo6 libu2f-udev libudev1 libunistring2 libuuid1 libuv1 libwind0-heimdal libwmf0.2-7-gtk libwrap0-dev libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb1 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxinerama1 libxml2 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxtables12 libzstd1 linux-libc-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev apt-transport-https gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio lsb-base mime-support p7zip-full policykit-1 Do you need help trimming down your list of manual packages?

I find ./compile.sh in ~/userpath/build It created when I clonin git https://github.com/armbian/build But when starting script and select required parameters, CLI write next: What am I doing wrong?

Ok .. sorry ... It is all "WIP" dts files / attachments. They don't work correctly on the device. (my testing files, posted in this thread, when I'm stuck "somewhere" and asking for help) ..all files like meson8b-sencor.dts, meson8m2-mxiii-plus.dts ... etc.

Hello there! I have a generic S805 TV box which, I assume, has a dead NAND memory chip. It doesn't boot and only outputs the following message over UART: QA5:B;SVN:B72;POC:3FF;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:10;USB:3;SERIAL:4;STS:0;BOOT:0;INIT:0;READ:82;BOOT:1;INIT:10;USB:3; I found firmware for a similar TV box online and extracted the bootloader.bin file from it. I then wrote it to the beginning of an SD card using dd like this: sudo dd if=bootloader.bin of=/dev/sdX Where sdX is my SD card. Now, at least, the box is trying to boot from the SD card and I can get into U-Boot. Here are the logs I see now: So, is it possible to run Armbian without a NAND chip? I can’t write the system image to the SD card because the bootloader has to be placed at the beginning of the card, and it’s quite large — it overwrites the partition table of the SD card. I tried writing the system image to a USB flash drive instead, but as you can see from the logs, U-Boot can’t initialize USB. (Re)start USB(0)... USB: dwc_usb driver version: 2.94 6-June-2012 USB (1) peri reg base: c1108820 USB (1) use clock source: XTAL input USB (1) base addr: 0xc90c0000 dwc_otg: usb_lowlevel_init: Bad value for SNPSID: 0x00000000 Error, couldn't init Lowlevel part Is this a problem with an incompatible U-Boot, or is the SoC already in very bad shape?

Hello! I am few newbe in linux systems. Explain please where get build framework, and how use it in bananapie m1? Now linux kernel is 6.12.20-current-sunxi

I am Wayland Gnome Ubuntu 22 I executed the command you gave me, but it didn't work sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0 (process:36816): dconf-WARNING **: 12:28:47.991: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY

@pessimism want are the PINouts of this board? I see you have connected to it with UART. Can you please map RX/TX/GND to GREY/WHITE/BLACK based on you photo. I have tried CP2102 usb adaptor, looks like same case as you had - no transmission on 1.5Mb speed. Meanwhile ordered CH340G.

I don't know where these shortcuts link to, but I assume they both link to the same executable script which is the next generation version. I am not aware that any current Armbian image still ships the old version. So at the bottom-line there is no difference.

The correct way to modify a kernel with patches is to use - ./compile kernel-patch BOARD=... BRANCH=... - review your patches and if you are satisfied move them to patch/ or the equivalent directory under userpatches/ - ./compile.sh kernel BOARD=... BRANCH=...

moved You are using the wrong kernel branch. You need vendor 6.1.y kernel. This is also mentioned in the official documentation of Jellyfin.

my bookworm installation is now over 1 year ago, has there been any further optimization in that time that should be adopted? Which setup combination is currently the most stable? Armbian 23.08.0-trunk Bookworm with Linux 6.6.8-edge-rockchip64 user@helios64:~# uname -a Linux helios64 6.6.8-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 20 16:02:07 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux I have been successfully connecting my Helios64 to a 2.5G Unifi switch for some time now and recently noticed that it kept interrupting the transfer when transferring files via 1G client. I then deactivated the scatter/gather offloading option, but did not yet adjust the /etc/rc.local as described here...

I did not realize there was a forum for orange pi plus, might be better there? https://forum.armbian.com/forum/250-orange-pi-5-plus/

I recently bought an orange pi plus and am using the armbian 6.12 server (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/Noble_current_server) I'm wanting to setup hardware acceleration for jellyfin but having trouble with the right steps. I'm using jellyfin inside docker on the orange pi inside armbian. I've found various tutorials but it seems like some of them reference things that no longer exist (like panfork seems to no longer be needed for latest mesa if I'm understanding correctly?), so wanting to see what I need to do to set this up. So it seems like I need to disable panthor and use mali instead, but I can't find in the armbian config menu the option to do that, and not sure if I know how to get the right mali. Any help would be greatly appreciated. armbianmonitor is at https://paste.armbian.com/nurazajipu I've seen these tutorials/posts for reference: * https://akashrajpurohit.com/blog/setup-jellyfin-with-hardware-acceleration-on-orange-pi-5-rockchip-rk3558/ * https://github.com/andyshrk/mesa/blob/panthor-v4/Panfrost-build-howto.md * https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-hw-transcoding-rk3588-arch-not-working?pid=54084 * `https://forum.armbian.com/topic/49115-how-to-install-opencl-on-orangepi-5-plus/` * https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-rockchip-transcode-missing-dev-mali0
