Ok, that draft was way more complicated than it should and there's an easier way, also we need to logout and login again for the extension to show. Is it a problem if we restart GNOME shell during install? Here's a better script: 1 #!/bin/bash 2 git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/fthx/no-overview.git 3 NO_OVERVIEW=$(jq -r .uuid no-overview/metadata.json) 4 gnome-extensions pack no-overview 5 gnome-extensions install $NO_OVERVIEW.shell-extension.zip 6 # Restart GNOME shell 7 gnome-extensions enable $NO_OVERVIEW in line 6, I found the following: https://github.com/brunelli/gnome-shell-extension-installer/blob/4357903be8646d940902852bf3e150f625e350e6/gnome-shell-extension-installer#L288 This is not doable in Wayland from what I read around... so this will install, and the user will have to enable it manually.

.

This part didn't work for you? It was cool that if I had Extension Manager running I could see the toggle turning on and off as I enable/disable. Also, I had to fully reboot to see it working.

I don't know much, I enabled it as a test, but I like the overview, as I have my favorites easily run as soon as I log into gnome. Maybe we could do: download it to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and then run gnome-extensions enable no-overview@fthx. Here's a draft script that may be useful for the ones that want that: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/fthx/no-overview.git NO_OVERVIEW=$(jq -r .uuid no-overview/metadata.json) mkdir -p /usr/share/gnome-shell/$NO_OVERVIEW gnome-extensions enable $NO_OVERVIEW Does that help?

it's by design, you can try an extension such as: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4099/no-overview/

I think I wasn't clear: HDMI audio is working, built-in audio is not. I'm using the latest edge image from Armbian that is 6.15. It's strange that I can see in Gnome Config the audio ports correctly HDMI and Built-In.

You could try to create chromium.conf yourself. Here's what I have here: cat /etc/armbian/chromium.conf # Default settings for chromium-browser. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from # /usr/bin/chromium-browser # Options to pass to chromium-browser CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-smooth-scrolling \ --disable-low-res-tiling \ --enable-low-end-device-mode \ --num-raster-threads=$(grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo) \ --profiler-timing=0 \ --disable-composited-antialiasing \ --disk-cache-dir=/tmp/${USER}-cache \ --disk-cache-size=$(findmnt --target /tmp -n -o AVAIL -b | awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1*0.3); }') \ --no-sandbox \ --test-type"

Armbian already is! uname -a Linux orangepi5-plus 6.15.0-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 25 23:09:23 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux Itś on edge, but it's working fine here, apart from the analog audio...

I'll check that! Thanks, Igor! I took a break from it as building Gnome had the best results from any other DE/WM with Wayland or X11. Also, I'm using Edge Kernel with 6.13, that's running great!

ok, I found it's a feature as i3 doesn't support wayland it's not added.

Hi, I've been compiling my own Armbian images since 6.13-rc5, and now 6.13 and I noticed that when I compile i3, youtube videos and webgl tests don't work as great when I compile i3 with mesa-vpu as it does when I compile e.g., cinnamon. I also noticed that the suffix is not -mesa-desktop, only -desktop. Is it as per design and i3 doesn't include mesa at all, or is it some kind of bug? Thanks!

I'm adding this here as I want to contribute to the community, but I'm still not sure how. I've been playing with Armbian Build lately and found it's great for quick build images for testing purposes before it's officially made available. So I started build my own images with i3, mate, kde, and I noticed that, in my personal taste, the one that was better suited for my needs was Sway, but there's no desktop image with it. So I built a Server version and start installing it. I know it may not be of interest of everybody, so I was planning to do it for myself, so I can continue building with the interface, but having Sway "automatically" installed. If/when I'm able to do this, I could put this in CSC mode in the repo, or I shouldn't do that as it's going to bloat the system more as there's no interest in having yet another WM/DE available? I'm thinking of this as an alternative to i3,as I noticed that, in my board, Wayland is performing much better than XOrg/X11.

What version of Armbian are you using? I using the latest release version (24.11.2 Debian version with Cinamon) in a Ultra-Wide @3440x1440. When I was in a rolling I can only do 16:9/1080p, also.

Just for the record: I also have an OPi5+ and I use the OPi power brick with an NVMe, in my case I have a Crucial P3 Plus 500GB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD CT500P3PSSD8 and it works like a charm, no hickups or issues of any kind. Maybe yours is not compatible with the board?

I noticed that the 6.10 don't have te blue/green heartbeat, it stays red. Also, hdmi for unusual resolutions is not working yet. Maybe you have the feeling that it's not turning on because of that. Can you try in a different monitor?
