We have a long wish to implement OTA solution into the build framework. The problem is - like always - time / not enough man power to run another (sub)project. Instead of reinventing the wheel - better is to follow / use (learning from) experts made frameworks: https://rauc.io/ as a base perhaps also this https://github.com/silitics/rugix/issues/82 and https://qbee.io/docs/index.html - all as extensions. If we can join resources, to do it right, its easier. But its still timely and complex due to the nature of what Armbian is dealing with.

Is Netplan acting like hidden malware?
Igor replied to bushw's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
We appreciate idea, but we have to look at the health of the whole ecosystem. Our build framework deals with many boards and non-standard low-level components (e.g., U-Boot), and right now it builds reliably only on Ubuntu Jammy. Even Noble isn’t fully compatible yet; adding Debian (unofficially, to some degree, it already works for many years) at this stage would likely cause regressions. As Ubuntu is more present in embedded world, making Debian recommended would costs a lot more from budget we don't have while bringing nothing in return. Exactly. There are many issues in FOSS and there is little we can do. We didn't develop any of those tools - we provide them. Networking stack is an important part, it has its own diversity and this should be in users domain. I think our logic for providing images is a good compromise - we provide Debian and Ubuntu images, we provide them once with systemd-networkd (minimal) and the rest with NetworkManager. Now to keep some consistency and make it simple for non experts, using NetPlan as a central config point also makes sense - for most of use cases and most of users. Those who needs special handling of net stack, its easy to replace them with something else. -
When you do first login, you need to choose correct locales combination and language in desktop should follow - you still need to install desktop packages ... If you don't have locales support in the system, you won't be able to use it in desktop. I think this is the problem. In my case, when I select my own locales (sl_SI.UTF-8) and install those desktop related packages, I have Gnome with Slovene support.

immich created via armbian-config dont work
Igor replied to Zsolt Tóth's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
Philosophy behind installations via armbian-config is that install is simple as possible, thus options are limited and hard-coded. Main folder for SW data is /armbian and there you mount additional space, if needed. If this way is not acceptable, you need to go manual way. Installing Redis, PostgreSQL and Immich, then link then together. It will be some work and there will be some troubles.

Fresh Orangepi 5 image, this one: https://netcup-01.armbian.com/incoming/efectn/orangepi5/archive/Armbian_25.8.1_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.115_gnome_desktop.img.xz Your setup could be broken to some degree, but hard to tell what is missing.

No, nothing happened. When I tell gnome-extensions list it return empty. On my x86 desktop running Noble Gnome.

Yes, that's the idea I guess. I played around a bit, but could not enable it with the script ... yet.

You don't need that. Most likely unrelated to this problem, but dd does not verify what was written: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#flash-to-sd-card Did you try booting with defaults? Agree, that's not normal. We are seeing some regressions on Allwinner related Crust support to https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/e76540693522baec079ec7633a918a9168ce130c (responsible for low level power management operations) Nothing obvious, no quick solutions based from what is seen from the logs.
