Thank Igor that explains it. I'll look at your suggestion or just go back to an SMB share

Hi! Yesterday I upgraded my NanoPi Neo Plus2, during that the kernel version went from 6.12.74 (package version 26.2.0-trunk.478) to 6.18.19 (package version 26.2.0-trunk.626). This morning I noticed, that this kernel is missing the dm-snapshot.ko module. I searched the forum if anyone else is having this problem, but it appears I am the only one using this feature. I use snapshots to create consistent backups of the system. Is there a reason why it was removed and more importantly is there a way to get it back without having to compile the kernel myself? Greetings PS: I should note, that I want the module back in newer kernel versions in the future. For now I downgraded to some older version that I was able to find a package for and got it working through that.

The same issue has occurred again. I had to take this measure again today to fix the zfs module. I had to revert the kernel, headers and dtb back to 25.11.2 from 26.2.1 of linux(meson64:arm64)

moved to staging

Currently just hangs after the Loading kernel message, will provide a log with increased verbosity tomorrow

@boggy do you have a boot log from armbian?

@Nick A Hi, thank you for the quick response! So far the attempts to boot the transpeed image would hang during boot most of the time, but I did manage to get a working shell once, albeit still without any networking. The WiFi chip is BCM4334, the physical print on the chip wasn't too helpful, but in either case it's the exact same model as shown on the pictures on this article https://linux-sunxi.org/T95 (4/32 version). I can't currently test HDMI but it is attempting to load Plymouth despite the config specifying otherwise. I attached a boot log of the stock Android image, if it helps at all. Thank you so much for helping out, I really appreciate it! androidbtlog.txt

They don't provide images for armhf anymore. Last build was 3 years ago: https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/server/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated&name=v7 We made a notice that its compatible for amd64 and arm64: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Software/Media/#owncloud but our installer doesn't filter that out yet. Official Docker way, it won't work. Try something else, perhaps

@boggy Try my Transpeed 8K618T image. It includes the most critical DTS settings for this hardware. All your Dram settings in the dts have dram_type = <0x03> or DDR3. dram_para1 { device_type = "dram_para1"; dram_clk = <0x258>; dram_type = <0x03>; cd-gpios = <&pio 8 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PI16 */ sdmmc@04020000 { compatible = "allwinner,sunxi-mmc-v4p1x"; device_type = "sdc0"; . . . cd-gpios = <0x53 0x08 0x10 0x06 0x01 0x03 0xffffffff>; can you find the wifi chip on your board?

I am resurrecting a Banana Pi M1 that i've had in the cupboard since new. I've downloaded and installed Armbian 26.2.1 build date 03.02.26 rev 5abb97453. I want to use the SOC as a photo repository for a family member so they can use PhotoSync app to transfer their photos as a home NAS. I have attached a 1Tb 2.5" hard drive and was goin to set up and SMB share but notice in Armbian Config a software package for OwnCloud which looks perfect as it can be accessed via a web browser. I have tried installing OwnCloud from Armbian Config and it installs docker but then fails downloading the Owncloud package. The error is: Unable to find image 'owncloud/server:latest' locally docker: Error response from daemon: manifest for owncloud/server:latestnot found: manifest unknown:manifest unknown I've tried running Docker pull and it appears to have downloaded something but the file is only around 4kb. Ive also tried downloading an image from OwnCloudeu server but it cant find a ARMv7 image. I'm wondering if having a hard drive attached means the daemon is looking for the image on the local drive??? could someone please point me in the right direction to installing Owncloud Also I assume the standard install, docker runs a container in the Armbian file system. Obviously I want the storage to be on the 1Tb hard drive. can you choose a storage location in the Owncloud setup? many thanks

@Nick A I have one of those T95 H616 AXP313a tv boxes. I have successfully compiled a mainline U-Boot image and it boots fine, all with UART input/output, but none of the images from your github repo work. I only managed to boot MiniArch images up to 6.19 kernel but I couldn't get HDMI, Ethernet, WiFi or Bluetooth to work at all. Got any idea what could be missing? I can help in debugging if you'd like. I attached the extracted and decompiled DTS from the stock Android 10 firmware of the device. Thank you extracted.dts

As title says. Here's the bash script I use to download the dependencies and compile the latest mesa: https://pastebin.com/1n7Sv0dZ How /boot/*Env* looks like right now: https://pastebin.com/mUqHs14Y And the error message I get when I try to run sway goes as follows: MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen [wlr] [EGL] command: eglInitialize, error: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED (0x3001), message: "DRI2: failed to create screen" MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen [wlr] [EGL] command: eglInitialize, error: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED (0x3001), message: "DRI2: failed to create screen" [wlr] [EGL] command: eglInitialize, error: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED (0x3001), message: "DRI2: failed to load driver" [wlr] [EGL] command: eglInitialize, error: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED (0x3001), message: "eglInitialize" [wlr] [render/egl.c:268] Failed to initialize EGL [wlr] [render/egl.c:571] Failed to initialize EGL context [wlr] [render/gles2/renderer.c:499] Could not initialize EGL [wlr] [render/wlr_renderer.c:272] Could not initialize renderer [sway/server.c:236] Failed to create renderer Oddly enough, "eglinfo -B" shows that everything is fine: https://pastebin.com/6k05DcAS How my .bashrc looks like right now: https://pastebin.com/3W7Qib6U I've tried copying the firmware in (with "cd /lib/firmware sudo wget https://github.com/JeffyCN/mirrors/raw/libmali/firmware/g610/mali_csffw.bin sudo chmod 644 mali_csffw.bin"), forcing "card0" to be used with the env. value WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card0, and panfrost with "MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=panfrost" and "GALLIUM_DRIVER=panfrost" but none of those options helped. I also added my user to "render" and "video" (with sudo usermod -aG video $USER and sudo usermod -aG render $USER), which also didn't do me any good. I also manually removed any trace of panfrost that was left into the system and reinstalled with "libgl1-mesa-dri" and manually compiling everything in again...and it also didn't worked. I don't know what else I should do, and I'm in the verge of reinstalling everything back in. Please help me. And thanks for reading.

@Łukasz Żywczyk Currently no prebuild nightly images. You are on your own. Grab a Debian Trixie on 64 bit PC (8G RAM, 16G Disk), then sudo apt-get install docker.io qemu-user git # add yourself to group docker, logout && login git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git cd build && ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepirv2 BRANCH=current RELEASE=trixie \ BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_BTF=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow should build your image in output/images/*.img ready to be used...

Also: # apt install -y iptables # iptables -v iptables v1.8.11 (nftables): no command specified https://wiki.debian.org/nftables AFAIK using iptables syntax should still work, but nft is what you probably should learn to use instead. https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Moving_from_iptables_to_nftables

Add to /etc/rc.local and reboot. echo "1" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost && echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/cpufreq/scaling_governor &&

@Werner I understand, will wait for "Resolve" before marking this as Solution. Thank you for quick reply.

The max clock is most likely limited via opp table in the dts. H6 should clock up to 1.8ghz, yes, but there might be a reason why this board does not.

Hi, this might be prohibited until you made a few manually approved posting to be moved from Validating to Members group. This measure is necessary to keep the forum clean from spamers who try to spread their bs here on daily basis. So I suggest to stick around for a while, this should resolve itself.

I tried installing armbian on tx6 because I saw a .img file for the tanix tx6 to turn it as a Minecraft server but I quickly run into problems

This week in Armbian development saw significant enhancements across multiple areas, including expanded board support and improved hardware compatibility. Notable additions include new images and configurations for Qidi X-6, X-7, and Ariaboard Photonicat2 mainboards, as well as refined kernel patch maintenance and updates for various platforms. The build system received important fixes, such as resolving compilation errors and device tree issues, alongside improvements in Docker utilities and offline mode detection. Several refactoring efforts streamlined backend processes and enhanced user interface elements. The team also introduced automatic fallback mechanisms for Hetzner server types, optimizing runner scaling. Overall, these updates reinforce Armbian's commitment to stability, broader hardware support, and a smoother user experience.

Hi guys? are there any cli/minimal Armbian (triexie) images with current kernel for Opi RV2?

Hello, can you please say, where i can find: Armbian_community_25.11.0-trunk.413_Aml-s9xx-box_plucky_edge_6.18.0-rc3.img thank you.

Subject: X88MAX RK3328 - Cannot boot from SD/USB, need help installing Armbian Hello Armbian Community, I'm trying to install Armbian on my X88 RK3328 TV box but facing multiple issues. Need your expert help!

In the Welcome message it suggested I change the avatar to personalize my Profile. I cannot find a way to do that in this Forum. I have one in mind:

Why you do this (on a normal modern Trixie kernel, actually even 1 year newer)? This is what I have (runs rockchip64 7.0-rc3 kernel): root@ranc:~# ls -al /sbin/iptables /etc/alternatives/iptables lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 1 2023 /etc/alternatives/iptables -> /usr/sbin/iptables-nft lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jan 16 2023 /sbin/iptables -> /etc/alternatives/iptables On other Aarch64 computer, it dates back to 2019 already, that is a standard Debian installation, always in-place upgraded since Buster or so. The Linux kernel does things natively as NetFilter, the iptables commands are mapped. Legacy is even older and I guess the old kernel API has been removed. But do research yourself if you want to know, at least 'man iptables-legacy'
