Mine freeze randomly on pi 5 plus. Let say freeze once a week, but I can still get control with ssh and reboot. I guess this is the best we can get with voluntary support . So would rather thanks all the ones giving us a not so bad working system. The question I would ask is how to diagnose the cause of a kodi freeze? What should be run before the freeze? After the freeze?

Adapter ? Simply cut and make a soldier? Of course you have to buy the 2 pin socket , very easy to find and buy .

I did that in the past using sudoer functionalities.

Kde connect is a nice toy controlling mouse keyboard of Ubuntu desktop running gnome from android. Can do more things as well. It is a gnome extension that can be installed with the command sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect All other installations way failed for me. Only for the ones interested....

I got the issue on chromium Anyway is psd useful nowadays with ssds? I removed the link some time ago so i cannot really reproduce the problem anymore. What was the softlink please ?

Just wondering if having profile-sync-daemon (psd) is causing troubles to you. After installing Armbian, I noticed that whenever I was restarting Chromium and accessing youtube, the system was asking me a login. The authentication cookies were simply disappearing after each restart of chromium. To avoid that I removed a link of my .profile directory pointing to a tmpfs filesystem (you see the tmpfs file system, use the df command). I read that it is used to avoid read/write on storage, as all I/O are done in Ram, but obviously in my case it was not really working, as I was loosing my cookies. Does anyone else uses that feature? Is this useful nowadays when using SSD's?

Not sure why but after sudo update Kodi.bin disappeared was getting an error kodi.bin not found I was trying to reinstall it with sudo apt Iinstall Kodi, but I was still getting the same error. Until I discover that I had to run command Sudo apt install kodi-bin This worked.

Returning and giving up is indeed a simple solution! (the other solution may consist of giving more information about the type of network used, wired? wifi? what wifi card?.....)

Have you redirected the sound to hdmi in the settings? Default send to the jack.

I had similar issues in the past with a bad SD card

have you thought about using another SD card? Maybe SD card corrupetd? this is the other common thing between all your tries.

Probably stupid remark, but why entering 154? 77) es_VE.UTF-8 154) Skip generating locales Please enter your choice:154

Yes all perfect.....

This one https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DcBqV4QWj0lE&ved=2ahUKEwiMv9zJ34uDAxVDVkEAHbxODTAQwqsBegQIFxAF&usg=AOvVaw3Krv-RVjaUZPHIavZ3_p9s It install the orange pi5 boot loader on the spi. I used that method to flash armbian on pi5 and pi5plus and it works pretty well. If you still want to boot on that SD card that you copy from to ssd, you have to change the partition Ids on the sd after the move or reinstall in the sd card to get new partition ids

There are YouTube video explaining how to do that.

It happens because you renamed it.lol

I think you need to do an fsck on your root and boot devices.

I did more tests 1 by 1 increment. The fan starts at 84 at low speed (and very noisy!) and then at 85 get full speed. I think it is a range issue indeed. I will put 255 for all values and start the fan at 40 degC, as the noise looks like there is a bird in the box!

I got my fan with the case. There are no other overlay enabled, and yes the 2 pins of the fan are connected. I wonder if there are some components in the fan that could interfere with the PWM signal. Maybe I should swap the black and red wires.... I guess that with your PWM fan you connected the ground to the header? I wonder why the PI5 socket does not have 4 pins...

The fan starts spinning at pwm 85, and it sounds like full speed already. Maybe my fan does not support PWM? (it is a normal DC fan, thus not designed for PWM) Anyway it stops and it starts depending on temperature, so it does not really matter if full speed or not. It is very silent, this is the important thing. What I like is that the fan stops when the Pi5 is shutdown, this is a Plus compared to the normal Pi 5. I think I will put all the pwms values to 100 now. Thanks for having helped

@royk I tried with the dts file proposed, it indeed starts at the set temperature, but goes full speed. It does not seem to receive any PWM. May I ask why the other dts above have a line dealing with pwm and not the one you proposed? I am a bit new with these overlay! I also tried with a native orange Pi5 ubuntu installation l (without installing any overlay), and I get the same behavior on-off.

I created a new user and it works fine with it. Then I inpected the user not working and noticed: - the .config/chromium is a link to /run/user/1000/tony-chromium - df command is showing: tmpfs 787428 20416 767012 3% /run/user/1000 overlaid 787428 20416 767012 3% /run/user/1000/chromium-chromium What is this /run/user/1000 ? It seems to be a temporary directory, thus a good reason what I seem to loose cookies. Of course for the user working there is no such link for .config/chromium Waiting forward for some light on this setup that was not made by me! I removed the link .config/chromium rerun chromium, and no issue anymore. thanks again.

Every time I stop and then start Chromium, do a search on google, or on youtube, there seems to be a deletion of the cookies, and it asks consent again, login again .... I found lots of possible solutions on internet about that issue, but none work for me! I wonder what this is due to, any ideas?

The solution consisted to set the parameter CONFIG_PHY_ROCKCHIP_SAMSUNG_DCPHY=m. This eliminates the compilation error, as it makes that code a Module.
