I have two monitors and both are 4K, there are no others, if I don't see what is displayed on the screen, how can I execute the command you specified?
ssh in

The commands that Energokom suggested to me are regarding the fact of the first post that Armbian 5.88 does not start if I give keyboard or mouse input!
Yes, I know that. I was just pointing out that you said:
13 hours ago, Mario663 said:ok so before sudo su di the command sudo apt install lightdm?
and he said:
19 hours ago, Energokom said:Try to run: sudo apt autopurge lightdm . Then sudo reboot.
After restarting sudo apt install lightdm
So it sounded like you were only planning on running one of the three commands he instructed you to run.

but what about version 5.88?
I don't know what you mean.

Ok and what can I do to make the internal partition of the emmc be recognized!? thank you!
I don't know what the problem is because as I said, you didn't capture the important part of the install-aml.sh script run. But I also did say the following:

If you want a valid test of installing to emmc you need to restore the box to the original android firmware and start from there. And it may still not work, but that is the starting state the script expects and the only thing that is tested.

The error has nothing to do with internet. After the boot can't detect the emmc, then it falls back to trying to do a network boot, which is what you are seeing at the end of the log.
-
The messages are saying that the boot process can't find valid partitions on the emmc to boot from. Your video doesn't show the full log of the install-aml.sh (especially the partition creation which occurs at the beginning, so I don't know if the script had errors or not doing that part of the process.). Also, did you start from a clean android firmware on the emmc? That is what the script is expecting. If this is a box where you already had something else on the emmc, that may be causing the errors.

@jock Is it some plans making one more stable current release as the weekly edge builds ?
Im using one box for HA thread testing (need arm64 and BT) and its very bad is its loosing BT then the edge kernel is being updated (that have happening) ?
The RK3228 is possible finding in the armbian archive but the RK3318 is not being there and current stable is not build for it.
Thanks in advance for your work on our devices !!!
@jock @Igor I have been thinking along the same lines for the aml-s9xx-box builds. While having the weekly builds is great, they are very unstable, being built on current master with edge kernel and the unstable debian and ubuntu userlands. While that is all good for testing purposes, it is far from desirable for running anything in a production environment (yes there are crazy people like me that use TV boxes for production servers). Now that current has moved to 6.1 for meson64 and I suspect rockchip current will try to get to 6.1 soon, it would be nice to have stable builds based on a stable master, current kernel and supported userspace (i.e. jammy currently for ubuntu) for the TV Box targets, IMHO.

This is Version Armbian_5.88_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.1.0_desktop_20190530.img.xz
I thought you said that you were running the latest version from the sd card and that was the version that didn't go through the setup. Thus I am asking you to try the latest CLI/server version on SD to see if it goes through the initial setup. And then separately if you could try a fresh copy of the desktop version on SD and see if you can reproduce the issue with the setup being skipped.

but it always gives me that screen!!
Can you explain what you mean by this? what screen are you talking about?
-
14 hours ago, Mario663 said:
perhaps because it already starts with the 5.88 configuration!?
No that wouldn't impact anything as the two environments are separate.
Does it go through the initial configuration if you are using the cli/server version? Can you reproduce the issue by starting with a new image on the sd card and trying again?
Also on the failure to run the install-aml.sh, does the script have execute permission set?

You are typing the command wrong. There is a space after sudo, but if you are already logged in a root, you don't need the sudo at all. And in the case you did the command without sudo you didn't include the ./
Also note that you can't install on emmc if the box has an s905 cpu (you need an s905x or newer for emmc support). There was a recent thread that talked about this in the forums.
-
The s905w2 is a new cpu from amlogic. As far as I know no one has tried to get mainline linux running on tv boxes containing that cpu Generally when a manufacturer comes out with a new cpu it takes the main line linux community a couple of years to get a stable system working on it (if there is enough community support). So I would suggest you use your box as an android box and come back in a year or so to see if there has been any movement to support this cpu. Or if you have the skills work on bringing support for the cpu into mainline linux.
-
@Serkan Polat You don't mention what kind of board/box you are using. However I am assuming you are using some sort of android TV box (since your post mentions coreelec and a random tv box dtb file). You should note that TV Boxes are not supported by armbian. I should move your post to the TV Box community forum, but I will leave it here since you are offering to pay someone for help and this forum is where you are more likely to find someone with the skills that might be able to help. (The TV box forums generally only have end users reading the posts).
-
There is no mainline linux support for the s905x4 so you are out of luck. And from the threads I have read, no one seems interested in ever making that happen, especially amlogic.
-
You can't mix and match different distributions. Each expects the boot environment to be setup in a specific way by multiboot (multiboot is what is setup when you press the reset button at power on). That is why some old builds will use things like uenv.txt vs extlinuc.conf i the new builds. As your video here showed (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/25519-armbian-mxq-pro-4k-s905no-work/?do=findComment&comment=156933) you had it booting to the point of finding the corrupted extlinux.conf file. So I go back to you needed to deal with that issue first. I can't and wont spend my time helping diagnose issues with old builds from unknown origins.
My overall recommendation for you would be to restore your box to the original android firmware so it is in a known starting state. Then follow the steps in the instructions using only a linux machine to edit the extlinux.conf file (don't allow the sd card to touch a windows machine).

Moved to the appropriate forum, as this is reporting issues with userspace applications

FYI 3.14 was released in 2014, last received security fixes in 2016. So by now it has hundreds of known security vulnerabilities that are not patched. Why would you even think of using something like that?

TV Boxes are not supported by Armbian. This forum is provided for the community to share information. It is not a support forum. I am only one person, and I volunteer my time to help. But I can't teach people linux or basic skills that they should already have, or at least be able to figure out themselves with the help of google. I have pointed you in the direction you need to look, but if you are unwilling to do any of the work, then then linux on a tv box isn't for you. As the FAQ link I just posted says, these boxes are really only useful to run servers. If you are running a linux server, I expect you have basic linux skills in which to do that, and anyone who has been around linux/unix for any length of time, knows about the evils that windows editors do to linux text files and would know how to fix them.

Honestly if you can't google how to do that yourself, I'm not sure you have the skills necessary to be using linux on a tv box.

By flash drive I'm assuming you mean a usb flash drive. Yes that should work, but generally an sd card is recommended and more commonly used.

On a fresh install, the ssh daemon is running and listening on port22. You should be able to get the dynamically assigned ip address from your router and then log in as root with the default armbian root password. Then since this would be the first login, it will run through the initial setup in your ssh session, and prompt to the new root password, setup initial user, etc.
