OK, what does that leave us with? You tried an armbian image with armbian and debian kernel and binaries and get a kernel oops. Then you tried an Armbian image with Armbian kernel and Debian userland but a self-compiled labwc and you do not get the crash? Summary so far correct?

I cannot provide the answer, but have you had a chance to check https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/ ? I am not sure if the maintainer Paolo is active in the forum. Edit: found him. ping @jock

The answer to your question is "sudo run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/", @snow To have that information displayed every time you login, you might want to check ~/.profile or ~/.bash* files if you use bash as your shell. I am not sure what problem you might run into since as you can see above the run-parts command needs root. Do some testing, with and without root.

I'm willing to help guide @Error1429 a bit on how to get this done.

@7alken I am using incus these days for managing VMs, not virtualbox anymore. Haven't tested it with these images, yet. You can use qemu directly as well, but incus simplifies this kind of stuff a lot.

I am using dnsmasq for that purpose

Have you reached out to 1password?

You forgot to mention a very important caveat, in that all filesystems on that device sda should be unmounted when you dd (BTW, pv is cooler than dd for this). That means, you have to boot off a different device. "sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sda | xz -v armbian_odroidc4_11_01_2025.img.xz" gets you the desired compression in one go. | is called a pipe.

so, you are good now?

Hello and thank you for your problem report. You are absolutely spot on, no worries! Your board is community maintained status. I would advise you to try and contact Chris, the listed maintainer of this board and see if you guys can pinpoint the root cause of the problem and provide a fix we can incorporate via a PR.

not sure, but sounds like a boot order issue? @meco, I believe you are the maintainer for this board, aren't you?

Are you twwn on github, @tast ky? As mentioned in the bug tracker, you need to try a different image. Please keep the discussion of run-time issues in the forum. This is where run-time bug triage happens. Until the time one can essentially make a PR with a clear code fix, the forum is where we discuss run-time problems.

I'd say try flashing again with a different image, possibly one that worked in one of your other boards. Verify the download and the flash process with checksums.

Yes, your list of questions is a bit long (understatement) and as such comes off demanding. I would say armbian or an SBC is not for you if you require a great amount of handholding and that's the vibe I am getting from your laundry list of questions for everything under the sun. I guess you want to be thorough before taking the plunge, but you need to take armbian with a different attitude, I guess; be happy when it runs, get down to help fixing it when it doesn't. We are NOT selling you a product.

please provide the output of "apt policy armbian-bsp-cli-rock-5b" and "sudo cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/*"

If you can still return the item for a refund, go ahead and do so. If you can still leave a bad review for this bad seller, go ahead and do so. This person has quite the gall to take your money but send you to us for the costly support. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Hello and welcome to the Armbian community. I have a Banana Pi M2+ that I use as a small 24/7 home server.

I am not entirely sure if those sensors are always accurate. In the case of my BPi M2+, I have some serious doubts.

I don't have time to work on this right away, so to make sure this does not fall off the radar, I opened a ticket in the tracker.

OK That would be called regression and should be analysed for a fix moving forward. Specifically looking for an older release as a "solution" still seems misguided and should only be done to bisect not as a kind of permanent solution.

OK what makes you think you got hacked?

No, Armbian has not become a total nightmare. But your posting all over the place, in several threads here and even Ubuntu ustream trackers with a bunch of unsubstantiated and obviously nonsensical claims IS absolutely a nightmare. PLEASE STOP! You make bogus claims faster than anybody can look into them. What made you think this was related to postgres? What makes you think Ubuntu downgraded their Gnome in Noble? Slow down, take a deep breath and stop being all over the place.

You do have a mmcblk0, why do you think there should be a mmcblk1?

@Igor Is this something that Armbian can add automatically for a board? Maybe that it did in the past?
