Because software development and item support is expensive and they have a limited amount that can be blasted on this. They still have to make a profit.
 

Some help more, some nothing, but majority is done for free by the community. Linux is a community project per see and if you want a quality Linux, you have to do something about.

Our capitalistic world function on the principle that winner takes it all - if you get a huge popularity and related big sales numbers, you don't need to give not a single dollar back to the community, while on the other hand, you have. 

4.19.y on NEXT branch seems to be a mistake and I am preparing a downgrade. Back to 4.14.y ... too many troubles.
 

That is Debian people decision. We are good for another year since we will not move to next stable base right away. If you want to run OMV, you have to forget about Bionic. It will not work there. At least not without severe hacking.
 

They are hidden if there is nothing new in them. This can be set per forum.
 
Probably. I'll try.
 
It's already enabled in Technical support section. Auto-lock will follow - i did testing in recycle bin and it seems to work properly.

Agree. It's a step forward if there is a field ... it has to be optional and we have solved this problem.

Agree. This has to be used very carefully. If at all.
 

That's a good idea. I'll check if that is possible.

Plus adding this plugin
https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/9042-auto-lock-topics/
to entire Technical support question with locking everything that older than 90days? 

This would make sense in a combination with various restriction for creating a new topics (adding armbianmonitor -u).

Most Armbian images do not have this problem as well.
 

It should be fixed, but our fix could also be broken - RK3399 has handull of small troubles which is why we actually don't provide end user support yet. When you are approaching with a problem, you always need to provide logs (armbianmonitor -u).

I didn't encounter them by myself, but I think somebody brought up troubles when copying large files via USB3 drives. Check older posts in this subforum.

Problems are outside user space levels otherwise we would notice such problems on other boards, but we don't. Kernel is the king and the troublemaker

Level between development and stable is hard to define. To be more precise, IMO they match H3 levels which also have certain problems and shortcomings. Despite that, those boards can be used in production. Major problem in this sense is actually on the H3 side due to "power-off" problems.
 

Prefixes are supported by the forum software but we don't use them. They are only used here: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/26-research-guides-tutorials/ but also without any proper meanings since all subforum is anyway dedicated for Tutorials/Research. 

If this feature is not strictly used, it's pointless to have it there. And someone (which is not me ) would have to manually resolve prefixes for at least last two pages of topics.
 

Agree. In this sense it might be worth to think about merging "Armbian build framework" and redirect the rest to the "Technical support area" or "Peer to Peer" if it has nothing to do with Armbian.

Another option to limit pressure on support is by enforcing forum payment system. System is here, it's highly integrated in forum ... and it works. Not exactly to charge for support but to return a pressure back.

Forum enachements:
theme "armbian" updated with upstream version, manual fixes and adjustment with theme designer, fixed recycle bin, updated member map plugin added crowdfunding plugin (this will show supporters automagically) added "show new topic rules" plugin (currently enabled in recycle bin for test) added raffles and giveaway system (will be enabled for users when properly tested) Please report if you find any bugs in the forum theming

I will rebuild those images ASAP.

Repository was updated atm.

Ok, i've canged back to 4.14.69, all work how expected...
 
 
...armbian-config is a great tool.
 
Thanks Igor

Yes. DEV is probably too fragile atm - 4.19.y has good enough support for A64 in general and probably with the correct DTB everything should work. (but temperature sensor IIRC)

Our's also came from here but not sure about the version/branch. Anyway, I plan doing some research and updating this driver when we move to 4.20+

Both. Some are known, some not. That is the main reason why none of RK3399 based hardware doesn't have a label "stable". 

Bluetooth is one of the last functions we focus on. There are many other more critical issues, which have to be fixed before that. In new boards as such it is usually better to use well known and fully supported USB BT dongles. Until support for internal improves. I am afraid you don't have any choices. Other images are only at this level or worse.

With which ARM board you have sftp speed of 100Mb/s?

Thanks! I've made a small donation for the effort you are doing. I'll be sure to try the devel-kernel in a few days.

Images are building and uploading at this moment. A few more tests and repository will also be updated, so you will be able to upgrade your current build to 4.19.y

Thank you and likewise  Credits go to many people within Armbian and general Linux community.
