As far as I can tell, Armbian does not support the OrangePi RV2. Where did you get the image from? Or are you really talking about the PC2? RISC or ARM? Big difference.

authelia is not a Debian or Ubuntu package. I'd recommend you complain to whoever you got the package from, I guess. It's the first time the symlink has become an issue as far as I can recall.

should be fixed with https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8980

I think @NicoD meant tasksel.

please DO share what steps you took to get it working for the benefit of the next guy.

You are likely hitting genuine bugs and/or the situation of missing packages. I do not use Cinnamon, so I cannot comment much. Try to see if there is anything relevant in the logs. Check ~/.xsession* files for hints, too. Maybe try a different DE first, set up it to be working and then work on your preferred choice after that. Have a look at APA which is trying to improve the experience of Armbian as an OS, maybe it can help you. Good luck, amigo!

@Igor, supposedly, these images do not boot. Maybe you have a chance to verify on your end.

most likely a bunch of packages that shouldn't have been removed were removed alongside, the joys of GUI package management 1) don't be afraid of the command line 2) see if /var/log/dpkg.log gives any hints what is missing What desktop system were you using before? Try to get it back installed. PS: In your current situation, you can reach a log-in console and command line with Ctrl-Alt-F1 PPS: Reinstalling from scratch might be faster.

Alt-F2?

Try pipewire instead of pulseaudio

Thank you for sharing. You might want to have a look at Shrink Backup as well.

Your best bet is to compile your own image. It's super easy: "git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git;cd build;./compile.sh" https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Building-with-Docker/ https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcEFsXEJEE

Go ahead and put that into a PR if it makes sense. That is the way to slowly improve the situation in armbian. These kinds of patches have to come from the community to be shared with everyone.

Thank you for sharing your work and insights. Please continue and don't give up!

Awesome, thank you so much for this. And it's already merged. Very nice indeed.

sounds like a genuine bug and not an error on your end. @Efe Çetin Can you confirm the issue?

It's super easy to compile your own image: "git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git;cd build;./compile.sh" https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Building-with-Docker/ https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcEFsXEJEE FWIW, I just tried to download the two images from https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ and did not have any issue. What problem exactly are you facing? Here's where I am being redirected to: https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/download/25.11.0-trunk.461/Armbian_25.11.0-trunk.461_Espressobin_plucky_current_6.12.57_minimal.img.xz https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/download/25.11.0-trunk.461/Armbian_25.11.0-trunk.461_Espressobin_trixie_current_6.12.57_minimal.img.xz

Wild guess: armbian-firmware or linux-firmware package?

I would assume they show up at https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ or you can always compile your own.

Then it is time to follow http://debug.armbian.de

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

As of now, the answer is no. Same CPU means very little in terms of ease of getting it supported.

@blood Thank you for documenting your progress. I recently got hold of a Helios4 and also want to get it to boot directly off SATA. I'm currently working on getting uboot for the Helios4 updated in Armbian. Let's collaborate and maybe do the same for the Clearfog?

Mangix, are you still around? Where is the code you are referring to in openwrt? I see exactly one commit in 2020 about the Helios4 and then nothing after that. I also don't see any specific patches applied.
