@gpupoor Why can't I see this option? . Kernel: 6.1 vendor . Driver: libMali . Panthor Overlay: OFF . Desktop: GNOME . Display Server: Wayland . NPU (RKNN): not tested (I am not using NPU) .

Yesterday I tried to erase the SPI flash via maskROM mode, I was getting some weird errors that flash is 0 MB or that emmc is installed (It's not) but I think SPI flash is not empty although I tried to erase all with success. I run the latest minimal community (6build again and I enabled level 7 verbose. I still get the android prints and I don't see much change. Typing through UART is not possible but I noticed that with a keyboard Ctrl+Alt+Del restarts it so the keyboard works I just can't type or see. Also HDMI has no ouput so I can't do anything else. I think the 3C has a DC-DC converter but I don't think power is the problem because I used a usb tester and the draw was about 3-4 Watts. The kernel version is 6.12.59 (github releases). I don't know what else to do.. . new.txt

I kind of thought it is common knowledge, but just go here: https://www.armbian.com/odroid-n2/ It's what I'm running. lol, yes I figured that out too, and aptitude purged netplan and systemd-resolved with extreme prejudice. In this graybeard's humble opinion these are solutions looking for problems. overlays, overlaying overlays of overlays. The inherent (and new) systemd-networkd they've snuck in without telling anyone, does suffice and is sensible. Somehow though systemd-timesyncd simply can not set the date/time, and neither can chrony which I've used for years. Much less the hardware clock. Ah, I have too much time invested in Debian on the N2+, and have never had any respect for Ubongo. But the purpose of this board is to time-control devices, so it would be nice to have the correct time. I've always used the C2032 battery.

After updating the edge kernel to 6.17, and then to 6.18-rc, the performance of my ODroid-N2 dropped drastically. Here are the performance test results of 7zip with different kernel versions for comparison I compile the kernel myself using the armbian build system and install the resulting .deb.

What could be the reason?

But I still need to short-circuit the TV box to be able to install anything; it's locked and I can't do anything, If you can help me, I would really appreciate it.
