Just to say really impressed and wow you guys have done a lot with the documentation since I last looked.
I was never a big fan and its been a while, but wow I have to say its really great and thanks for all your efforts.
No script bloat and all seems really logical and much work most of been done.
Good to see you on the forum as well! -
At August 6, 2021, 18:04 GMT -04:00 Our VPS provider had a massive data center outage impacting multiple carriers and power. We were offline for approximately 4.5 hours... our apt redirect service was moved to a temporary location around 3 hours into the outage. It's since moved back.
FYI: https://status.armbian.com provides site status info.
Prior to this our awesome VPS provider had given us 100% uptime for 13 months

Okay so unfortunately not a quick fix.
We had some major repository issues a while back, and the tool we use to generate is broken. See This thread for a little more context.
Are you familiar with ansible? the `lineinfile` module could probably clean this up quickly if you have ssh access.
or the `copy` modules to just replace the armbian sources file -
-
okay that was mostly blank files and an incomplete contents on the pastebin.
...
can you just do apt clean and apt update and see if that fixes it -
Providing logs with
armbianmonitor -uhelps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.
can you also share your other error messages....
and show me /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*try an apt clean before apt update also.

Great fixes @MichaIng code is deployed. Thank you so much! -
Lol i got a lot of feedback about https being an undesirable default. Major reason being those on small connections heavilly rely on caching proxies to make life better.
And yes persisting protocol based on request would be ideal. How are you at python?
-
yeah sorry about the trouble.. I/we had some bad defaults with that, and I had changed them on the direct server, and I think your older install at the apt setup that way.

can't I
Short answer: No.
This cannot explained with just a few sentences.
Man we really need to write the definitive sermon on this and add it to faq / documentation. I think there might be an issue open for it somewhere

spice-vdagent in linux the VM.
not sure what's going on there.. can't really help.

Thanks @lanefu , I can mount UTM and see the Contents folder. However, the volume drive is mounted in read only mode, so that I can't copy u-boot.bin to the folder.
/Volumes/UTM/UTM.app on /private/var/folders/ns/bkcwhmm106j0_scbdvv_x29c0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/7DABB818-AE48-4EBF-9012-FF45CF3B9602 (nullfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners, quarantine, nobrowse, mounted by User). How can I mount the folder with read-write?
You need to install UTM rather than trying to run it from the disk image... UTM is a hypervisor. -
I donr have the why but downgrading the uboot package to an older one from our deb archive does seem to solve.
-
make `userpatches/lib.config`
try put the following inNO_APT_CACHER=yes
APT_PROXY_ADDR=PROXYHOST:PROXYPORT
you may also want to your standard proxy environment variables to it export ex:
export HTTP_PROXY= -
So Armbian bare-metal on M1 is really contrary to our mission... but I do hope the community can run with the work I've started with the virtual-qemu image... because virtual armbian on M1 is fun and practice.

@lanefu awesome work and well done! What can I do with the wip file?
I would like to try your work. Do you have any step-by-step guide to start the Armbian VM?
the WIP file is for building with the armbian build tools... I have some crappy tips in there for qemu.
okay so here's a really quick n dirtydownload UTM for Mac
Download zip and extract. this UTM config https://armbian.lane-fu.com/virtual-qemu/Armbian UTM.zip there will be a .utm file and a u-boot.bin file
download one of the virtual-emu images from our nightlies or try whatever is here https://armbian.lane-fu.com/virtual-qemu/. don't forget to extra xz file
find utm and right click and choose show package contents(edited)
[8:15 PM]
then you'll expand and put this u-boot.bin in this subfolder
open the UTM file then clone it to a new virtual machine
edit the new virtual machine
goto the drives tab
click that little trash can to delete the previous image
click import drive to load the new image that you downloaded
and make sure you set the interface to virtio
because it will default to IDE
you'll need to fiddle around with display settings possibly.. the high dpi flag etc.I think I've added to default on the newer images. make sure spice-vdagent is installed.
.. this is all I can help with for now. You're on your own from here
Please turn this into some better documentation if you can.
ideally someone needs to figure out a process around this and document it -
Your program is not compatible with ARM hardware.
-
This should be handled by the userpatches customize-image script.
Please dont send a PR to add this feature

I tried adding me to users.conf and I didn't win yet

If any pythonistas wanna help add support to persist http and https request with the redirect tool that'd be great

https://github.com/armbian/dl-router/issues/2 -
you can manually edit your mirror to use http.. but yeah some of the asian mirrors can be un predicatable

Really impressed with the latest Armbian

nope.. but there is more conversation about Raxda Zero on our discord server. A few people have some samples there.
