    It is important that you understand what I am talking about. We don't represent Linux kernel. Actually nobody does. Linux corporation https://www.linuxfoundation.org/ is the closest entity doing that and even they are considered small and poor in the corporate world they are in. What Armbian (a few people that maintains this place) does? We provide tools and build kernels with small but important changes focused into specific single board computers. We add valuable code that this generic kernel code (https://lwn.net/Articles/915435/) becomes usable. Sometimes only to some degree. And that's it. You want to develop something but you seek sponsors of your idea? No problem, just find someone else. We already burned all yearly budget. Negativity is shaped by your (over)expectations. From our perspective, they are totally off the chart. Once you get it, you will perhaps even support us. Until then, you will treat us like sh* and we will both be unhappy.

    Never did. We sponsor your consumerism to the degree we want. It seems you don't understand what open source is. Download what we give you and do whatever you want with that. What is the definition of poor? Can poor people invest into software development that you can consume it for free? We are already investing millions into open source, but everyone has spending limits. Since you (public) will never understand yours, we have to stop your nonsense in some way. But if you finance, we can hire, if not, you can hire yourself and do whatever you want. If you succeed, we will download and use your idea. Welcome to open source world.

    This is open source world. Once we have it, everyone else will have it to. To maximize our time, emotional and financial loss? We are already loosing tens of thousands of hours every year for what we provide now. Donations, as only source to cover this wish, supports our current work in around 0.5%, which means yearly budget for 2024 R&D is already long gone. Most of HW dealers and predatory users & competitors not just steal (take) in regular ways, but also generate damages however they can, for fun or to make profits for themselves. Re-thing your question. Before you suggest us what we (anyone that operates in open source) need, we we need something from general public: understanding and funding.

    ... those sources are not compatible with modern Linux anymore. This documentation was written 4-5 years ago, so this example worked with kernel v4, perhaps v5. Mechanism wise, things works. https://paste.armbian.com/axeveqolex.bash

    If you didn't improve anything ... we provide daily / weekly automated builds for everything, supported or non-supported. https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/latest https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/latest Leeboby is Xunlong employee which made those fake and broken Armbian / Kali / * images ... to trick you that Armbian support this hardware. No, we don't. Yearly budget is far less then zero. This is fake Linux / "Android kernel" you don't want to use in production. It shows HW features, nobody maintains it. You can see leeboby commits there too. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-does-hardware-feature-xy-work-in-old-kernel-but-not-in-more-recent-one

    https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Release-Model/#agenda Is this list still valid? Supported: WIP Community supported where we could also look for re-enabling supported status. Criteria for Supported must be beneficial to the Armbian project Armbian team must confirm and agree upon all supported boards statuses a named individual as “maintainer” with GitHub ID must be preset in the BOARD_MAINTAINER within Board Configuration File a named individual must commit to providing “best effort” support for their SBC on the Armbian forums maintainer must participate in the Release Process maintainer must sign-off that device has been tested, is stable, and ready for release during release process maintainer must have physical access to the SBC they are supporting maintainer can operate under pseudonym but must reveal his identity to Armbian management maintainer should attend developers meetings held every Wednesday 7:00 PM CET when whole support burden is carried by maintainer and Armbian team, it will be labelled as “Pro bono” More here: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/#criteria-for-supported Example of maintainer proposal: - add or remove board X from supported. Reason: its broken and I don't have time / I confirm it works, will monitor and collaborate ... - upgrade board X from WIP to supported. It works decently / well, I steal dealing with it, there is upstream support ... or remove as there is no progress, too many issues - board X from community section should become supported because ...

    Also on 1st class hardware it does not go without issues: https://www.google.com/search?q=why+kernel+upgrades+breaks+features On trash ultra cheap and forgotten hardware, where Armbian is trying to make a difference, breakage % is significantly bigger. Every kernel, that is work of thousands of people (some forget to test changes), breaks features even we invest tens of thousands of hours into stabilizing it. There is virtually no support from industry and no support from end users, but we still managed to build automated monitor for upgrades on many boards in automated way: https://github.com/armbian/os?tab=readme-ov-file#latest-smoke-tests-results Sadly, we don't test Pinebook, not complex functions as this and not all possible upgrades. Expanding testing to that and patching would cost additional few millions which is simply not possible to secure from this. In past year, nobody applied to serve as test engineer to develop this further. Other Linux distributions are far far away even from this. Install Armbian on a desktop PC.

    We also have plenty of memory nowadays and memory is still significantly faster then ssds and does not wear out. sudo apt install --reinstall profile-sync-daemon This is probably all we do here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-firstlogin#L215-L237

    Download Armbian with HA (v24.11) Then boot the image, wait few minutes and login via http://ip_address_of_armbian_running_ha:8123 (official onboarding manual) Home Assistant Supervised is, more or less, a full blown Home assistant. Main difference between HA OS and Armbian with HA is that underlying OS here is clean Armbian Debian Bookworm and there is custom dedicated buildroot OS that is provided for a few single board computers, primarily for Raspberry Pi. We provide HA on a small selection of single board computers, but in theory, its possible to run this on (almost) all that are possible to build. I am running HA on Odroid N2+ and it works without any problems. I have z-wave network with sensors and switches, air humidifier, Android TV, Android phones, dishwasher, ... Things works flawlessly, much better then few years back when I started with home automation for a first time, with OpenHab. This time it was setup from scratch and in a matter of days, most of devices are in function, playing with automation. Tested on: Odroid N2/N2+ Odroid M1 Nanopi R4S Rock 5B Uefi-x86 Khadas VIM1S Khadas VIM4 (Amlogic vendor kernel trouble, failing / need inspection) Bananapi M2 Pro Provided for but untested (images you find on board downloads locations, seek them here https://www.armbian.com/download/😞 DIY Contribute Support: single board computer hardware https://www.armbian.com/bugs home assistant functions https://community.home-assistant.io/

    Another possible infra related issue. This mirror is temporally out of service, possible out of sync / order. You should always start with beta.armbian.com or dl.armbian.com directly. They are behind redirector which gets data from database while (double) checking for health and sync status.

    Yes and no. I would say its just a bug, nobody to blame in particular. Try their official Ubuntu image with this 6.1 kernel if this also manifest there, so it can be narrowed. Open source projects are far from ideal circumstances We only provide email support for partners, where we have some control and don't need to pay 99.5% of hard cash costs that conversation (and previous hard and frustrating research work) will generate. With 0.5% of general public support (share of end user donations in this project), we already have problems to maintain a lot cheaper segments of this project. Providing email support is super expensive. Its not just you. Its thousands of often frustrated and angry customers of somebody else that would rather talk to an expert directly and not to anonymous forum. In human population we also have a small percentage of people that never respect any rules, act predatory, play dirty ... They would destroy mental health of people on such support and subsequently project in no time if we would provide / allow this. This can also be observed on forums ... Email support is not possible, even you would be willing to pay for it. Most of open source projects explicitly asks their users "please do not contact us for technical support, use community forum for support". Neither do developer without investing his time into research. Nothing here was meant personal. I just tried to "visualize" this communication. I do understand your frustration, but we are already doing the impossible. Odroid XU4 is having vendor kernel made around latest LTS. It was never true LTS ...
  13. Igor
    You get anything from: v4l2-ctl --list-devices

    Expected behavior (unless process breaks in the middle and files are not there for some other reason) - we only provide last kernels. Easier way to change - providing more kernels at repository - have great impact on build time, while doing it smarter would require a person to focus only on this part of infrastructure for some time ... alternatively, we could drop all deb packages to some location, but again someone (not me) would need to code and maintain this automation.

    Maintainers don't work for Armbian, that’s an open source project. We are volunteering our free time ... and you are kindly asked to not call us on "home phone". This should be clear. I am solicitation developers and maintainers to ignore all private (and in majority emotional blackmailing) communication. Sometimes abuse still works and they got vandalized and you could even break them eventually ... and they stop helping you. Please don't take this personal. Its a relationship between open source end users and developers / maintainers. Fork the code, fix it (probably just need to enable something https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/config/kernel) and submit a PR. Or wait that this complains you posted on forum is heard by someone that has time and will do this. Instead of you. You can file a bug to Jira, but makes almost no difference. Maintainer will address this issue when he find the time and if he wants to. This is how things works in (non Desktop *NIX OS) open source world. Embedded (especially with vendor kernel as in this case) Linux is (far) away from simple and unified x86 Desktop *NIX OS. Many things has changed, but primary problem is that vendor (Hardkernel) switched their primary kernel from 5.4.y to 6.1.y ... and feature breaking is what always happens at such kernel changes.

    ARM was perhaps not in good shape in Jessie / Buster era. Today, Bullseye and Bookworm should be in perfect state. I suggest you to upgrade to and then try again. Or start with a clean image.

    Older in archive.armbian.com No official listener anymore If someone will take it from here or it will remain broken. There is nothing we can do about.

    User-land package control comes from upstream. https://www.google.com/search?q=Package+mysql-server+is+not+available 1st hit https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20259036/mysql-package-mysql-server-has-no-installation-candidate It should work the same way, but method is not officially supported (yet).
  20. Igor
    Boot from SD card and install it classic way (armbian-install) doesn't work?
  21. Igor
    Armbian comes in many different variants. This could be a bug in Debian SID package base or the one you are using. Where do you observe this? (armbianmonitor -u) I am running Armbian desktop (running Chrome / Firefox) on two machines without any issues. PSD is active.

    Images with support on general Linux support level (not better not worse then alternatives) can be downloaded here: https://github.com/armbian/community

    Not even our kernel not even our OS, closing. In case you need help, you have a PM.
