I've just looked and the build I use is: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/archive/bananapim5/archive/Armbian_24.2.1_Bananapim5_jammy_current_6.6.16_xfce_desktop.img.xz Some of the builds around that time had issues with the regulatory database not being signed correctly (might not be a problem for you), this one was OK.

I think there are some problems with the latest download, I had a quick look (very quick) at Armbian_24.5.1_Bananapim5_noble_current_6.6.31_xfce_desktop and Chromium was installed but didn't work, and there were some issues with USB. I didn't investigate any further. The earlier version worked well except for some errors in dmesg - I'd try that to see if it works better for you.

Hello, I've started a project where I'd like to setup a Bananapi M5 with two wifi adapters to use in hotel room for example. So one wifi adapter will connect to the hotel wifi, and the other will be in access point mode with dhcp for my devices to connect to. I think the proper terminology is AP-STA. So I have purchased one Comfast CF-953AX which uses the mt7921au chipset (0e8d:7961) to test in access point mode as it supports this: Supported interface modes: * managed * AP * AP/VLAN * monitor * P2P-client * P2P-GO The issue I have come across is the hostapd fails to start: nl80211: Failed to start radar detection: -22 (Invalid argument) I think I've tracked it down to the wifi region not being set: sudo iw reg get global country 00: DFS-UNSET (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20), (N/A) (2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (6, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (6, 20), (0 ms), DFS, PASSIVE-SCAN (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (6, 20), (N/A), PASSIVE-SCAN (57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0), (N/A) sudo iw reg reload command failed: No data available (-61) ..and you cannot set it, I think this post may explain it better than me: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=44942 Is there a way to set the wifi region? Thanks

Thank you SoSie and Mechano for your suggestions, unfortunately they did not work (just tested on a fresh install). I thought fbcon was only for the console?

Armbian_22.08.7_Bananapim5_bullseye_edge_5.19.16_gnome_desktop Hello, I'm trying to rotate the desktop from landscape to portrait. Trying to do this in the display settings in the desktop does not work correctly as it only uses the top half of the screen. What does work is to rotate using xrandr: xrandr -o right I'm trying to do this automatically on start up so I have written a script to call from lightdm.conf The script: #!/bin/sh xrandr -o right exit 0 The parts in lightdm.conf [Seat:*] that I've edited: display-setup-script=/home/badger/screen.sh session-setup-script=/home/badger/screen.sh This works for the login screen, however it does not rotate the display. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.

Hi, I have just tested Armbian_23.02.2_Bananapim5_bullseye_current_6.1.11_gnome_desktop and it also has the same problem. Thanks..

Hi SoSie, Thanks for your message, that is what I did in the end - I went back to: Armbian_22.08.7_Bananapim5_bullseye_edge_5.19.16_gnome_desktop.img and is booting into the desktop now, but I'm sure I still had those errors in dmesg 🤔 I thought it was due to a permissions problem, but didn't know where to look..

Logs: https://paste.armbian.com/kasujazuwo Hi, I've been looking to run the desktop version of Armbian on the M5 however it will not start (blank screen, no signal). I can see the Debian Icon at startup, and the Armbian Icon at shutdown. startx does not bring it up, however sudo startx will but I'm not sure if this is the best way. I have tested: Armbian_22.11.3_Bananapim5_bullseye_current_6.1.4_gnome_desktop.img Armbian_22.11.3_Bananapim5_bullseye_current_6.1.4_cinnamon_desktop.img and both are the same. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks.
