  1. Igor's post in linux headers not found was marked as the answer   
    Install it via armbian-config -> software (or sudo apt install linux-headers-current-odroidxu4)

    This was made to support Raspberry Pi 5 desktop acceleration.

    Yes, its in testing repository, so no harm was made. I have disabled this and within next repo update this won't be a problem anymore.

  4. Igor's post in External hard drive freezes OS/not working was marked as the answer   
    If you don't power it via powered hub, its almost certainly this. Those USB ports are not delivering sufficient power.
  5. Igor's post in Install to/update boot loader not working was marked as the answer   
    Probably, if not something else is also missing from the system ... worth trying.

  7. Igor's post in How to use "Fast and Safe Updates" was marked as the answer   
    We refactored updating procedures, repository management, download infrastructure. This mainly impacted to the beta repository, but we (can) also copy certain packages from external / 3rd party repositories. To keep specific package more recent than distribution defaults. This is pushed to both, stable and beta repository, after executed automated test install on affected distributions.
    https://github.com/armbian/os/wiki/Import-3rd-party-packages
     
    tl;dr; apt update and apt upgrade remains in action, but we talked about updating packages directly from a storage we are using for caching (ORAS, currently hosted at GitHub). For now this is just an idea as GH is not the best hosting place speed / capacity wise.
     

    This text was perhaps improved too much as it only creates confusion. Applogize.
  8. Igor's post in New mirror in Japan was marked as the answer   
    Thank you! Will be added during a day. 

    Dunno how we missed that, but sometimes things get lost. Appologize!
  9. Igor's post in Mirrors are unreliable, causing frequent failures of installs / upgrades was marked as the answer   
    We don't have a dedicated operator of mirrors but it seems we should appoint someone as maintaining is getting complicated despite of all automation which should prevent this to happen. This is a corner case, as it shows that mirror is synced ... but not all files are there.
     
    I have removed this mirror as its probably running out of space. Airframes maintainer responded yesterday, so I assume its back in sync.
  10. Igor's post in Please add IA32 UEFI support was marked as the answer   
    Armbian team have no plan/resources/budget to do this, but if someone sacrifices his time and polish this feature as expected, we will pay with respect and review the work. Every code that is sent our way is liability and that is not something we are accepting open handed. If adding this feature won't represent much burden for maintainers, we will merge it. Making PR from your side is just one part and is small if you are not going to keep it in good shape for another several months / years.
     

    The same goes for half of elderly single board computers that we are keeping alive. Its only in users interest, a little in ours. We only have costs with maintaining, while HW vendors wants from you to buy new stuff ...  We already have severe problems with cost management as you expect we do everything for free, and where we receive absolutely no help from vendors or anyone. This is for us nothing but a waste of time. I hope you do understand this - maintaining is hard work and doesn't pay off in any way. And its a lot more code to maintain then people who will do it. You have to step up.
  11. Igor's post in Enable CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE for Odroid N2 (or all?) was marked as the answer   
    Example of what we expect from you https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5605 Even it looks like 10 minutes job, we don't have resources. There is a constant flow from 1000 people to 1 with such small jobs ... Make a PR!
  12. Igor's post in spi-nand kernel module is missing (please add kernel config option MTD_SPI_NAND=m) was marked as the answer   
    Here are kernel configs for all kernels. I am sure its easy to find correct ones:

    Enable and sent a PR.
  13. Igor's post in Multi-factor authentication to the forum does not work with Firefox was marked as the answer   
    We don't even try to deal with bugs that are coming with forum software. We are users of this software, just like you. You can check / report problems here https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/505-general-questions/
  14. Igor's post in Armbian crashing when trying to compile code? was marked as the answer   
    Expensive research is usually needed to fully understand why this is happening. But as most developers knows that Rockchip legacy kernel is a consumer demo-grade trash, its unlikely this will happen. Repairing deep problems just for this kernel is usually futile. It is not Armbian problem, but Rockchip's which provides this fork and currently the only stable(ish) kernel you can run on those devices. It is worth trying to build image from latest sources. They have been greatly improved, but can't tell if your problem will be gone. I assume you are using stock power supply? Not sufficient power can help in crashing ...
     
    If you need to run some serious things on your device, move to test 6.5.y kernel (CI builds at the bottom of the page). This is the only sane way, but they come without video output. We are running several build runners on few Rock 5 devices and so far it does the job. Here are logs: https://paste.armbian.com/gupidarusa
     
    BTW, Welcome!

    You can also try and build image with latest kernel / userland https://github.com/armbian/build
  16. Igor's post in The repository 'http://apt.armbian.com bullseye Release' no longer has a Release file. was marked as the answer   
    No, just some bug that prevented its re-creation. As you can see, we have bigger exotics in the pool https://imola.armbian.com/apt/dists/
  17. Igor's post in Problem with booting BananaPi Pro was marked as the answer   
    We are aware software support for Allwinner is slowly but surely collapsing, so this is the plan https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1502 There is no support from any side, not from users, not from industry, budget is negative and we already lost lets say hundred hours for preparation and meetings, without counting the work on the code that is already in motion. Just to improve this section. We also purchased some additional devices so we can monitor upgrades better ... To save time answering this question.
     
    If you build image from sources, it will work. I just did it earlier today: https://paste.armbian.com/amufuxisen

  21. Igor's post in Rock 5B: SD root file system not exist was marked as the answer   
    https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/
    Automated test builds straight from development lab are designed for developers. They won't generate expenses by (repeatedly) asking questions but fix the problem if they could. Development builds are full of bugs and unfinished sections so it is extremely expensive to deal with this.
     
    tl;dr;
    Those builds might work or not.
     
    Use Armbian with the one and only stable kernel and wait 6-12 months that modern kernel is in good enough shape that won't randomly break. You are welcome to test new kernel it the mean time and use if it works good enough, but bug reports won't be taken by anyone (as we don't have people to waste time for such a nonsense) until support is stabilised and you or vendor will be interested enough to support us to support you.
  22. Igor's post in Orange Pi 3 LTS with Openhab2 was marked as the answer   
    Those are instructions for running OpenHab2 on Armbian (any hardware. I run it on Nanopi K1+ for years)
    https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/armbian.html
    We even run automated tests to make sure it installs well.
     

    A software developed in Java runs ... anywhere. Why would they need to "support" some particular board if their line of focus is elsewhere.
     
    You only need to ask if this boards is suitable? Yes, its fine for the job. WiFi is a bit on the problematic side as it uses chip which driver is not in perfect condition (remember chip crisis era) and there is little that will be changed. Still, it will probably serve the purpose just fine (it works for me well, but some people report troubles with wifi) and in worse case scenario you can mitigate with some USB module. But I am almost sure you won't needed that. The rest is just fine.
  23. Igor's post in ZFS broken on 6.2 😖 was marked as the answer   
    No. Stick to kernel 6.1 if you want to use ZFS. Anything more recent is expecting miracles.
  24. Igor's post in Armbian Edge Kernels - Installation Order? was marked as the answer   
    Try
     
    sudo apt update sudo apt install linux-headers-edge-rockchip64
