Hi there, I'd like to understand the best way to handle updates on Armbian… My OS is: odroid ) uname -a Linux odroidxu4 5.4.225-odroidxu4 #22.11.1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 30 10:55:16 UTC 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux odroid ) lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Release: 11 Codename: bullseye And APT says: The following packages have been kept back: linux-dtb-current-odroidxu4 linux-headers-current-odroidxu4 linux-image-current-odroidxu4 linux-u-boot-odroidxu4-current The habits tell me to update however the experience taught that I could breaking something, some packages are on hold for a goodreason... What do you recommend? Thanks in advance 🙏 F.

Sure, I flashed the EMMC the lazy way with Etcher without any issue!

Thanks it worked like a charm! You are the best!!!

Dear All, I don't have much experience with the eMMC, and I wonder if I can flash this image: Armbian_22.11.1_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_5.4.225.img.xz directly into the eMMC through Etcher, or do you recommend DD instead? Thanks... 🙏

When I read carefully the faq I found the answer... My fault... 😣

Hi there, I have been using Ubuntu stock from Hardkernel but it is worse than a kick upon my jewels... As usual only Armbian is the way to go, however I personally dislike Ubuntu therefore I'd like to go with Debian but I didn't get the difference between CLI and Minimal. Can anyone advise me? Thanks in advance, F.

My last paragraph is confused and I cannot edit it anymore...

@Igor My apologize if I sounded disrespectful, it wasn't my intention! I got your points and as father I do respect your willing to prioritize your family. What you do really deserve more especially from all the hardware vendors that make money also because you made their SoCs fully working.

@Igor Thank you for the heads-up, I think I won't update, also using a PPA doesn't excite me that much so I'll stick with the current setup looking forward for any improvements!

Dear All, I am using Jammy with kernel 5.18 on hold, but yesterday I noticed very important updates that were kept back because the kernel is locked, such s: armbian-bsp-cli-odroidhca armbian-firmware linux-dtb-edge-meson64 linux-headers-edge-meson64 linux-image-edge-meson64 linux-u-boot-odroidhc4-edge I wonder if is worth to update or if I had better to stick with my current setup, where my main feature — ZFS — is working. What's your recommendations? Thanks in advance! F.

HTOP also shows up more CPU consumption...

I noticed that TOP an HTOP are in disagreement about many things while my LCD Info panel and TOP are on the same page...

I found the culprit and was this line: lock directory = /var/cache/samba For testing I created "/var/cache/samba/locks" but it didn't work either... This link says it safe using default setup: https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/network_administration_guides/using_samba_book/ch05_05_11.html Therefore for the moment I commented it to make the smbd,service working...

Ok folks... This very setup was fixed and made working at my job. I tested from the new M$ Terminal while connected to the LAN of my office, extremely satisfied I returned to home and when I connected the HC4 to my router, the "systemd smbd.service" didn't work again (event though at my workplace I rebooted for testing purpose the board several time and Samba had been woking all the time). The Office LAN is most likely managed by a Win Server and is on 192.160.0.X, at home I am connected to a Comcast Cable Router on 10.0.0.X...

Thank you Igor you are always pretty kind here as well as in the Odroid forum. I hope to find time to get out those information quickly. I also noticed that shutdown the board doesn't power off the LCD, those are small paper-cuts by the way, also I do not use the Armbian code for the LCD but a GO binary made by a super dude!

Dear Friends, I have been testing Armbian 22.04 Current CLI version and 22.01 Edge Jammy CLI and both does not reboot. When I reboot Armbian the LEDs stop to blinking but I can clearly listen the rust-drives spinning, also the LCD is still active. Initially I though it was because the software that handles the LCD but I made a test without it and it was the same. I also thought that was because the spin drives, but when I did the test I made it without the disks as well, therefore I excluded both cases. Since I didn't read anything about it, I think this issue is affecting just me, any idea where I may look to find out what is preventing the board to reboot properly? Thanks in advance! Freezr

Hi folks, this is my first thread here, I just recently came aboard since I found that Armbian is the better solution for my Odroi-HC4 therefore I won't insist on checking for info and solution on the Odroid Forum. I am not very satisfied with Hardkernel, they produce excellent board with very poor OS support, looks like such critical aspect is left on the shoulder of a couple of great dudes but is not same as having a community behind; also board as the RPI demonstrated that a great OS support is better than having the most powerful hardware, is the same lesson learned by Rock64 even though I won't user Manjaro not even under torture... 😜 Armbian might a great asset for Hardkernel, never understood why they are so reticent... 🤷‍♂️ Thanks!
