Update broke eMMC booting on Renegade
Tim Makarios replied to Tim Makarios's topic in Libre Renegade
It's possible that the above (which was on kernel 6.12.9, I believe) was a misdiagnosis of In any case, the 6.12.11 kernel does boot the Renegade from eMMC, though with the limitation noted in that linked topic. -
I can confirm that the LEDs still aren't flashing on the 6.12.11 kernel. This doesn't bother me much, but just to be helpful, here are the armbianmonitor -u outputs for Kernel 6.6.47, where the LEDs flash: https://paste.next.armbian.com/suporamoqe Kernel 6.12.11, where they don't: https://paste.armbian.de/cuxaxoweci

I have an encrypted root partition, and on booting, it asks me for the passphrase to decrypt it. This was shown on the screen when I was using the 6.6.47 kernel, but on the 6.12.11 kernel, nothing is shown on the screen at all until I've successfully typed the passphrase and it's started booting. Here's the armbianmonitor -u output for the working 6.6.47 kernel: https://paste.next.armbian.com/suporamoqe And here's the output for the not-quite-so-working 6.12.11 kernel: https://paste.armbian.de/cuxaxoweci This isn't a huge deal for me, since I usually close my eyes while typing the passphrase anyway, but it means I have to guess when it's ready for me to type the passphrase, and guess how long to wait before concluding that I typed it wrong, and need to try again. Also, it might bother other people more than it bothers me.

My Libre Computer Renegade wouldn't boot from its pluggable eMMC this morning. I worked around the issue by booting from an SD card, setting up a chroot environment for the eMMC card, and switching to an older kernel on the eMMC. Obviously, it would be better if the current kernel supported booting from eMMC. This may be related to and

armbian-truncate-logs and PostgreSQL
Tim Makarios replied to Tim Makarios's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
It does, indeed, seem to have reverted to the problematic permissions after a reboot. -
armbian-truncate-logs and PostgreSQL
Tim Makarios replied to Tim Makarios's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
I seem to have successfully worked around this problem by changing the permissions on /var/log/postgresql. I'm not sure why the cron job, which looks like it's set up to run as root, couldn't truncate the file in that folder; and I'm not sure whether my solution is durable, or whether a reboot or something might reset the permissions at some stage, but it works for now. -
One of my Armbian machines (24.5.5 bookworm) is running PostgreSQL. I don't think I've changed any of its default settings relating to PostgreSQL's log files or their permissions, but I'm occasionally getting emails from the armbian-truncate-logs cron job saying: The directory /var/log/postgresql is owned by root (and group postgres) and has permissions drwxrwxr-t, and the file /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-15-main.log is owned by postgres (and group adm) and has permissions -rw-r-----. In /var/log.hdd/postgresql the ownership and permissions are the same, and there are also files postgresql-15-main.log.1, postgresql-15-main.log.2.gz, postgresql-15-main.log.3.gz, ..., postgresql-15-main.log.10.gz (with the same ownership and permissions as postgresql-15-main.log). The file postgresql-15-main.log.1 is a prefix of postgresql-15-main.log. I have this problem only with PostgreSQL's logs; armbian-truncate-logs doesn't complain about any other log files. Is there something I need to do to fix this, or is this a bug that will be fixed in future?

I'm using a few Libre Computer Renegades as headless servers, and they're working well (thank you!), but I'm wanting to set one up for personal use, and I've discovered that when I plug headphones into the analog audio jack, the left and right channels are reversed. (Also, the default volume, (for example, from speaker-test in a terminal) is too loud for headphones.) sudo armbianmonitor -u Says: System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to https://paste.armbian.com/Error adding document. so I've attached armbian-hardware-monitor.log instead. armbian-hardware-monitor.log

I used this tutorial as the basis of my own script, which is heavily adapted for my own needs. It worked for me, getting a bookworm CLI image to run on a Libre Computer Renegade. Although I made lots of changes, I think the only ones necessary for getting it to work on a bookworm image were replacing "etc/dropbear-initramfs" with "etc/dropbear/initramfs" twice in step 9.4, and replacing "etc/dropbear-initramfs/config" with "etc/dropbear/initramfs/dropbear.conf" twice in step 9.7. Perhaps this was the problem @Vasir encountered?

Pine A64(+) should be different from Pine A64-LTS?
Tim Makarios replied to Tim Makarios's topic in Pine A64
I'm pretty sure my LTS's CPU had "A64" (or possibly "A64-H") on it, not "R18", but I've attached a heatsink to it now, so I can't check just by looking at it. I guess the information might be accessible via software, but I can't immediately see where. Also, my board does have a microSD card slot, but it's under the board, where the pluggable eMMC socket is on top. The power jack is a barrel socket, with 3.5 mm outer diameter. I tried the .dts file and amixer commands in this comment but still didn't get any audio coming out of my headphones. I'm willing to help, but I don't have much experience with .dts files or amixer; and, as you may have guessed by now, I can't promise to respond quickly. -
Pine A64(+) should be different from Pine A64-LTS?
Tim Makarios replied to Tim Makarios's topic in Pine A64
@Pander By the PI-2-bus, mine has this on it: Pine A64 LTS Version V2 2021-05-13 -
On Jammy (Gnome, current, Rock64), I had to manually install dkms before the script would work.

I did a little more experimenting, and found that it connects without a problem when I tell it to use WPA2, rather than WPA3. I don't know whether the problem with WPA3 is in my router or the client, but WPA2 is good enough for now. I can also confirm that your script works on an A64-LTS board, too, so thank you again!
-
Thanks! I can confirm that the script works on my Rock64 board, running bullseye CLI with the current branch. At first I thought it wasn't working, but then I moved it to a different spot and tried an open WiFi network. I'm still not sure if I can get it working with my normal WPA2/WPA3 network. Oh, and you might want to change "edge" to "$BRANCH" in the manual instructions, too.
-
Good timing! I had a couple of these arrive yesterday. In the script, it says sudo -E apt -y install linux-headers-edge-$LINUXFAMILY >> $logfile 2>&1 Is this because it's only expected to work with the edge kernel, or if I change "edge" to "current" in that line, should it work for the current kernel?
