an option in armbian-config?
-
I had no idea how to fix it so I built a new VM and started from scratch.
so far so good...Same error and failed first build. -
I've built several images that appear to run fine ... but the 'nightly' error leads me to believe I may be missing something important?
-
It's been a while since I ran my VBox installed build system.
apt-update gives the following error -
Err:3 http://repo.aptly.info nightly InRelease The following signatures couldn't be verified because public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ED75B5A4483DA07Cbut continues.
Is there something I should do or ignore?
I started from scratch and pulled the directory and ./compile'd again and everything seemed to go fine, produced output which I will test today.

I have successfully built images on my hardware, so I will try the command in the desktop thread.
I assume https://github.com/armbian/config
I will need some direction but can put in a few hours. I volunteered to work with C4 some time ago and aside from a couple spelling changes I've contributed almost nothing to the project. Maybe I can be of more help here.

For me it is to learn the basics of working with armbian-config.
Has anyone done a tutorial (hihi) :] ?

Ideas I'm great at ;] but I've wanted for a long time to learn to work with armbian-config.
Will reply on that thread.

This is absolutely awesome news. We have been 'forcing' Armbian to be a desktop system for years, having to do many things manually to get a desired experience.
Looking forward to using this!
Will there be 'deskop type' additions to the awesome armbian-config?

What steps should one take to learn to work on armbian-config?
-
It's been a little while since I lurked 'round here but I'm a real armbian-config fanatic and would vote to keep it there.
That being said, playing with zsh on armbian would be fun.

All I have is the E and > appearing on the serial console.
So when you boot it while attached to a serial terminal, do you see any quick text go by before you get to that point? Do you see an option to hit any key to stop loading? it's quick lasts 2 seconds ... you're certain you messed up the flash?
The UART method is difficult for people who say they have no experience in this 'low level' activity - perhaps the SATA method will work for you?

Most likely you have the 1gb 2 chip version. You can tell by identical chips on the top and bottom sides of the board.
In this post is a pic of a board with 1g2cs - I was pointing out that mine did not have emmc in this particular post.
This post shows top and bottom pics of a 1g1cs board.
To be honest, in several cases where I'm told a board has been 'completely erased,' carefully following the instructions on the Armbian Espressobin download page has been successful

I can only help you with Armbian. I have a couple of these boards and they are working flawless for me, although I have them set up at almost the lowest speed it can go (800-800).
Let us know if you get Armbian running on your board. If nothing else it will prove the hardware for you.

"boot from eMMC / NAND, system on SATA / USB",
I just looked up the board, do you have the NAND version? I see they have a dual TF version that has no NAND?

"Raspbian has dozens of contributors to focus on a single SBC platform. Armbian has a dozen contributors to focus on 100+ SBCs"?
And I STILL can't get my pi's to do some things that I want ... it's amazing how far Armbian supported boards have taken me and my classes.
Keep it up, Armbian crew! No one beats you.
-
Which board are you using? Have you tried nmtui?
-
oops sorry I missed the other topic ... thanks!!

Under the Clubs page I saw a link for subscribing to a newsletter - I clicked it, it disappeared, nothing else happened and now the link does not appear again.
LOL did I break something? Did I subscribe? ;]
-
After my last post I noticed the cute little tag 'Donator' was missing from my avatar so I went to re-subscribe and it shows conflicting info - if I roll over the blue badge top right it shows 'Subscription active' but in red in the middle of the box it states 'Subscription expired' and there is no where to renew it. Nothing clickable or obvious ...
I had donated to the server fund, did that mess up the auto? I noticed there is a recent charge so I assumed it is still working?
BTW, I think there should be an intermediate step between individual and corporate ... 5 Euros is nothing but 50 is more than I can do monthly. Can you add a 10 Euros / mo?

I was trying to help a student download new C4 images and he gets 'Download Error.' Confirmed at my place - Twice I got 'Unable to download file securely' message but mostly 'Download Failed' on direct download. Didn't try all boards but several have same issue.
Chrome on Linux x86 (Mint) and XU4 armbian.
HTTP vs HTTPS on direct download?
Didn't try the torrent downloads.Torrents work fine.Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum :]
Edit: if I hit 'Keep' it still shows download error.

We were not that bad
We were ... I had this marvelous trojan that could be sent over chat that would cause a little smiley face to bounce around the screen every time the control button got pressed. After a while there were several faces bouncing around the screen. If the victim hit the right shift all the faces would go in clockwise circles, and counter clockwise with the left ... after a while it got too cluttered so all the faces would just 'drip' off the screen and start over. God I miss terminate and stay resident on command line windows ;]

I just recently broke out my Espressobin v5 and put the latest Armbian, and new uboot and script. Runs fine and my OMV appears so far to be quite stable. I have a Marvell pcie 4 port sata card on it with a 4 port hotswappable 2.5 inch drive bay that is moving data fairly decently (80mb /s or so) between fairly slow machines with a low end gigabit router in between. Its booting from Sata - I used dd from an x86 linux box to burn the image directly to an inexpensive 128gb drive.
I've always loved the Espressobin, nice little board and now Armbian has breathed new life into it - thanks Armbian and thanks for armbian-config!

What kind of 'support' do you need? If I understand correctly 'support' is being determined now. There are a couple desktop versions on the bottom of the download page. Give them a try. It's still a work in progress, your contributions may assist in the effort.

I got a new monitor, basically a monitor and a half - 2560 x 1080.
With image
Armbian_20.08.1_Odroidc4_bionic_current_5.8.5_desktop.img
On boot ("Armbian" with circles going in circles) it is detected as 3840x2160 and when entering the desktop is sets it to 1152x864.
I've only tested this image so far.It seems to identify the monitor by name and size correctly, but can't seem to set that resolution.
Armbian_20.08.1_Odroidc4_buster_current_5.8.5_desktop.img
also sets the resolution to the above values, but doesn't let me select 1080p (or any other value) and does not detect that it is an LG 35".

apt upgrade -y leads to this "Operation not permitted" error message.
I saw this but the error displayed on the uart terminal before handing off to hdmi. Haven't seen any operational difference.

so long as I don't run htop
I am not able to reproduce this issue. I downloaded all the current images, none can I reproduce this error. Can you give a more detailed description of the session?
Reboot appears to be working on SD however. This past two weeks I've been away from the bench. Nice to see!

Added new feature - text ads. Can also be graphical ...
I actually clicked on some of these - good feature.
Please support 2560x1080 Video Resolution

There are a lot of the new wider monitors coming out. I have had one for several months. None of my Armbian boards support it. Some won't display at all, some default to a single lower resolution, and several will only allow to set to 1920x1080.
Doesn't HDMI interrogate to discover resolutions and then match capabilities? I have no clue how HDMI actually works but it would be great if Armbian looked proportional on those monitors ;]
Thanks
