Dear Mark. You are using unsupported kernel, which is fragile and very expensive to support and we have very negative budget to assist you. This is open source and not a single information you are asking for is hidden. If you need guidance, we can sell it to you, but if you can't cover time we will lost to gain nothing, you need to use your own. Topic was moved from supported area as what you are asking is simply not supported. This way we limit damages you are making to us.

Yes, network breaking came with some of recent upstream "improvements". Last 5.15.y could also break ... a version or two back.

Use sudo next time. BTW. Fixed images are already uploaded while package update will follow shortly.

You forgot one thing. Those OS variants are not comparable in many critical components. Factory OS that are provided by HW vendor is often presentation grade. Good enough for YT presenters to promote their HW while is otherwise forgotten and virtually unmaintained. We are the only one that are maintaing this. Other distros do this very little or not at all. Armbian does not provide 32bit userland (for 64b hw) as it adds complexity (for maintainers which are the most critical resource for you) and saves very little. In case you want a real deal, dedicate few weeks / months and bring up this feature withing build system. If enough people will be happy to justify this. Low memory 64bit system are dying out ...

Contact people that sold you this device and software pack. It has nothing to do with Armbian. It was just assembled with our tools ...

This is the link to subscription. Also buy few screens and send to us. Then ask a question again.

Install new image that will be released this week.

Yes. Check /etc/default/armbian-ramlog

Ubuntu is Debian based so there must be some leftovers. Download Ubuntu kinetic for PC and check this file.

@Stoven @jock We were moving servers around and forgot about https://users.armbian.com Fixed.

One of mirrors must be out of sync. We are working on to improve this ...

Keep in mind that you are smearing people that have nothing but costs dealing with you and hardware you want to use. Without our work, you would stuck on some old kernel forever while they would keep selling you more and more with as cheap software support as possible. We give you software that gets regular updates (now for about 10 years) and eyes to see. Here you can apologize and here you can help with your share of 0.5% of costs we get covered by random public. Also this work gets to other Linux distributions. There is no bug without logs. People that will perhaps bump into this topic has to understand what you are talking about without plugging hw - that you have to earn. There are older images in the archive. Use them.

https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2/ You have this board? If you use some other randome image that sounds compatible, it is expected that something, like USB, won't be working. We would like keep enabled all those devices, but its simply not realistic. There are too many of them and every device represent endless loss of time without any compensation. It also keep prolonging already long build cycles. I have re-enabled generating images but can't tell when they will be on ... https://github.com/armbian/os/commit/49591e9ce3098366684efe27af57b0200799a1f3

Fixed.

There are indeed serious issues, but not in the code base. We will discuss this matter, but certainly not this year.

We did some experiments for a client with Khadas Vim3l but we didn't proceed far due lack of funding. Remember that this is on experimental level and can't be used in production. Many standard features (such as video out) are missing in this (custom) kernel. Its not something you download, install and forget about. Not sure if we can support you in any way ... but you raise your chances if you support the project. Status with other SoCs related to this feature is unknown to me. On paper they all support everything ...

This is expected for this world. We primarily deal with hard problems & development is pain and suffering. Coding style does not have any significant impact on what you are mentioning. We are not responsible if bringing up some weird proprietary device is a collection of hacks. Rather focus in reverse engineering so hacks won't be needed. Yes, that will be very hard too, but nobody is forcing you to do this. Armbian don't need this, but if you want to submit a PR to Armbian, you need to adopt to our coding & writing style as its insulting to expect project will adopt to yours even you are on "industry standard" quality BASH porn. Once again as you don't get it - code is liability first and its not on author to self decide if it can be classified as a project asset. Regardless of your idea, education or manipulation used to get attention. We are not on their level, they are not on ours. Every project is unique and always has different set of problems addressed by limited resources. I see you don't even try to understand any of. Copy / pasting or suggesting principles is simple, while implementing and keeping them function is completely different level. This whole "suggestions" forum has ideas that needs millions to finance, while we only receive about 0.5% of compensation for what we do without including your suggestions. For completing requests projects would need many additional project leaders and many additional staff to start leading them ... But you don't care about that small problem, you just want perfection to be done at once and you demand we pay for it with money we don't have. Hear how stupid all this sounds. Perhaps this visual representation will help you to understand where your idea is - there are at least this many people with good intentions as you can see on this picture (alongside with those blurred ones) that wants to enforce their ideas or extract some value (hey, please fix this!) without giving anything in return. As you can see its crowded and there is very small listening or executing capacity. It will take some time before your idea came from the last in the line to the place where that idea could be heard. Please don't shout over other people as you are doing now - stop reaching out to people that keeps this place together several times per day. It is impolite and has to be sanctioned because of other people that stay in the line trying to help or cheer us. Contribution to open source projects starts when you understand its needs not about you having fun with what we are providing. Or not having it. We have our own coding style. It is not the best, its not the worse, but its ours. If you are opening a PR to the project, you simply need to met those requirements. If you don't respect that, you can work on fork whatever you want. This is how open source projects function.

Are there any changes to the build script or any userpatches in action?

This must be deeper as device we use to test upgrades, shows no problems: https://github.com/armbian/os Crazy in any case. Only long term solution is this but nobody wants to volunteer for this position, hiring is not possible. So we can only do some shallow testings and other Linux distributions not even that ...

Maturity of user-land packages. At one point in time Ubuntu LTS is better then Debian stable and vice versa. I think this principle is now not working as intended (randomly could be O.K.) as we recently changed how download lists are generated. Here you can observe how this is assembled. There is some additional info in wiki. Keep in mind that packages lists are more or less the same and (hopefully) all Canonical suspicious code is cleaned out. Can't tell from my head. That would require analysis / diff. Only diff is userspace packages versions. HW interface is identical. I am afraid that you can't do that just like that and IIRC you the first person coming up with such idea. Upgrades within Debian or Ubuntu are already complicated enough and prone on breaking. Also this problem exceeds Armbian as user-land packages are stock Debian / Ubuntu. This is an attempt to send you a message. It tells that "Debian" or "Ubuntu" fairly tales and stereotypes, that are attached to those keywords, means nothing in this close-to embedded Linux world.

Armbian works perfectly fine on 1st grade hardware.

https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-the-difference-between-armbian-and-debianubuntu If you are good with Debian or Ubuntu, you will be good with Armbian too. If you are seeking for Ubuntu specific and there is no ready made Ubuntu based image, you can make one in no time. https://github.com/armbian/build If service you need is not installed, and DHCPD almost certainly is not preinstalled, configuration file can not exist. Armbian comes without any preinstalled bloatware. If you want to change it to file server or whatever, you install that. Shipping everything that is possible for everyone would be very stupid.
