support request: NanoPi-R76S
Igor replied to Dantes's topic in Framework and userspace feature requests
R76S will be supported, but its too early at this stage. We setup download page https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r76s/ but no images yet. -
When things are not actively monitored, features stopped working without knowing. This has to be find out. At least all Armbian distributions have the same kernel, regardless of its upstream origin - Debian X,Y,Z and Ubuntu A,B,C ... have same kernel. But of course kernels versions go up all the time. I am not managing this that deep / specific. Where to search? On this forum. I am sure that this was already brought up.

This is not recommended as its not controlled environment. It might work, but no warranties. HDMI output is broken in general (on this particular SoC) regardless of variant, desktop, cli, minimal. Its known bug, but we currently don't have anyone maintaining Allwinner A20 series so its up to random person to fix this. Code is open, so anyone can. Then it should be o.k. since HDMI output is not needed.

Works well on my side - could not reproduce (with Docker based compilation), but however there is a (common to a20 boards) problem with HDMI output while boards otherwise works.

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.
