    Armbian Cinnamon without start button

    Can I get support for Cinnamon on Armbian distros???


    Armbian provides vanilla Debian (or Ubuntu) Cinnamon. In general, touch to the user-space part is minimal, so you are running plain Debian Cinnamon desktop, more or less. And as packages comes from there, bugs follow. Armbian team don't have resources for dealing with desktop. Minor problems only.

     

    And as it was already mentioned

    The missing start button might be complicated to fix

     

    Exactly. I saw this (recently introduced) problem but since I have absolutely no idea where to look, I removed Cinnamon images from upcoming release. We don't touch Cinnamon nor other desktops beyond installing wallpaper.

     

    Probably tasksel installed variant will likely be broken too.

    running kernel 6.6.63 is not save

     

    6.6 is LTS kernel https://www.kernel.org/category/faq.html When some security issue is found, it goes into all LTS kernels. Higher version number does not guarantee bigger safety. Most recent has more functional bug fixes and new features and is generally more fragile - bugs / holes yet to be found.

    Are there any progresses on how to fix this reliably?

     

    Yes, v25.11.1 with 6.12.y https://www.armbian.com/odroid-hc4/ doesn't have those problems. At least I could not recreate them. Booting HC4, plugged in two usb devices, all good: https://paste.armbian.com/ibifozegof


    P.S.
    Life is deadly dangerous :)

    Custom Build on new version(25.11.0 ) is not enabling Panfrost (Mali) GPU driver (BOARD=orangepi5-plus BRANCH=vendor RELEASE=noble DESKTOP=cinnamon)

    I tested v25.11.1 https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/ released yesterday - vendor kernel, Gnome desktop, acceleration works, 4k video playing with Chromium, audio works ... Since I don't have model + right on hand, i didn't test it. But its very similar board and I assume it works. It should even boot with image for normal Opi 5 but all peripherals won't be working correctly.

    does the olimex a20-olinuxino-lime2 armbian image contain and install non free software?

    We don't have resources to deal with this question, but I think, in case of this hardware, there is just firmware package (armbian-firmware / linux-firmware) that fits into this. Perhaps some other util. There must be some scripts to scan Debian packages and tell? From my head, I remember iozon3 package (might not be by default on minimal) that is non-free https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/iozone3

    I don't understand where other images to find

     

    There are no other images available at the moment. Regarding this, there is some initial but incomplete work in progress here:
    https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8831

    We can’t merge it in its current state, as it still requires a significant amount of additional work and refinement. Unfortunately, this means there isn’t a quick solution right now, so we’ll need to wait until the implementation is completed and validated.

    Any comments on the work in that branch? 

     

    Hard to say how far that work has progressed and what currently functions. You are welcome to use it and continue development on your own. Armbian is primarily a build framework, and our capacity for maintaining hardware is very limited — typically to just a few boards or platforms. Tony played a key role in this effort, though he may not be available to continue contributing in his personal time. Getting to this point was already a loss of our precious time.

    is there new bootloader firmware built as a result of your changes?


    Yes, but I haven't test it. I used pre-flashed to boot my image and I am done with this board / platform. Someone else has to take it from here.

    This page is probably in need of work: https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ the download links don't seem to work for me (they redirect to mirrors.aliyun.com)


    If board gets maintained status, this will start working automatically. Links point to our servers where this board images are not present - we only keep supported on our servers, for things we know they at least boot.

    Anyone have Armbian 24.11 image for Jetson Nano?

    I can't find that tag in `armbian/build`, but did find `v24.11.0-trunk.303`


    https://github.com/armbian/os/commits/25.11.0-trunk.367/git_sources.json
    This file determine state (hash) of sources. It's not a straightforward process, but one can recreate exact image (except userspace packages, which versions are not stored)


    This file has to be here

    https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/31e82512cc60a74f56b710aa2971d7dc2beec9b9


    One day, this will be done better :)

    It would be a shame if the Jetson Nano 2 GB ended up as electronic waste.


    Sadly there is too much of such e-waste and way way too little people willing to maintain them in their limited private time. I am sure you can find a working image somewhere in our archives so you don't need to throw it away, but we cannot fool you & ourselves to be able to keep this board maintained.
