  1. Already tried that - still won't resolve hostnames on my LAN (two different LANs - my home LAN and my work LAN)... NSSWITCH usually one of the first places I look (hangover from Solaris)... hosts: files mdns4_minimal dns myhostname Also - noticed some wildly different results from /sys/power/axp_pmu/battery/ output compared to Armbian Xenial on the same hardware... I don't know if that's because Bionic is drawing more power and battery never gets to 100%... but its always around 96% and always "discharging" ╰─➤ cat /sys/power/axp_pmu/battery/capacity 96 ╰─➤ cat /sys/power/axp_pmu/battery/charging 0
  2. thanks for that info - the issue I have with Armbian, I can resolve the Armbian hosts on my LAN from other machines (all Linux), but from Armbian itself I can't resolve other host's names... Not 100% sure what "publish-workstation" does - but it kinda sounds like advertising itself on the LAN? Anyway I reset that to "yes" on a Linux laptop (x86_64) and on Armbian, and it's the same as before... I might try out stretch then... avahi works out of the box for me on Raspbian Stretch...
  3. Update : it's not working on any of my Armbian machines... doesn't work on Xenial Armbian 5.7 on bananapi, or Xenial Armbian 5.6 on orangepi+ 2E... those machine names can be resolved from other hosts on the LAN, but they themselves are unable to resolve other machine names on my LAN. I could have sworn it was working previouisly. Close this topic - clearly not related to Armbian Bionic... I have no idea what's going on...
  4. Banana Pi (original "model 1") A20 Was running flawlessly on Xenial - latest updates - almost everything worked (I run it on a LiPo battery to transport back and forth from work to keep my Resilio Sync data "in sync") Resilio seems to work fine - except in Bionic I can't use avahi to resolve names on my LAN... this worked in Xenial on the same hardware. The reason I decided to try out Bionic? Couldn't find a resource to upgrade from OpenSSH 7.2 to 7.3 or greater (I'm making heavy use of features not available in OpenSSH 7.2 on my other machines). I've tried tweaking my /etc/nsswitch.conf file to no avail... Sheesh - "avahi" just worked out of the box on Armbian Xenial - and it works out of the box on Bionic on x86_64... Works out of the box on Raspbian Stretch on my RPi 3B. Works out of the box on Armbian 5.6 (Xenial) on my Orange Pi+ 2E... Qualification : avahi works on the Banana in that other hosts can reach it (e.g. "ping ffrwchnedd.local" works from any other machine) - so it's announcing itself on my LAN, but it cannot use avahi to reach other hosts by hostname.local (no problem pining actual IP address of other devices). If I can't resolve this soon - I'll go back to Xenial and try and figure out how to do some version control on my ~/.ssh/config file(s) (I have a common one symlinked from my Resilio Sync folders). P.S. I didn't upgrade in place - I just booted from a fresh flashed SD card so I can backout to Armbian 5.6 Xenial without too much pain (other than re-syncing 130 GB of Resilio Sync folders - stored on 256 GB USB drive).
  5. I've got Armbian running on a BananaPI - it cr@ps all over Bananian... I've got Armbian running on OPi+2E - love it... I've got Armbian running on one of my Pine64+ (got DietPI on the other one)... As for "backups" - I was early on frustrated by the lack of Dropbox support (in ARM world but mostly for NTC CHIP). Initially ad some rsync scripts - but it got a bit unwieldy... So - now I use "unison" - push stuff (not everything) from my Dropbox folder on an x86 Linux machine to an NTC CHIP accessible from the worldwide interwebs (and via dyndns) - I can then use unison to sync copies I have on ARM devices (running Linux) and even my ghastly Surface Pro 3 at work running the Microsoft Bash Shell (the canonical thing you get from Insiders Fast Track build). Mostly all I'm replicating is shell scripts and SSH keys... I don't think I'd use it for lots of large files (e.g. music)... However - I have noticed a few little niggly things with Unison - versions on either side need to be fairly close. e.g. I enabled Sid on my OPi+2E - and "apt-get dist-upgrade" replaces Unison 2.40 with 2.48 (and they're incompatible) - so I have to disable Sid, update, then apt-get install - but it's workable...
  6. I couldn't get WiFi working on my home network Armbian Jessie on OPi+2E using wicd - so I removed wicd and installed network-manager and network-manager-xfce... and it just worked...
  7. Well there ya go! Fixed it myself... I'd previously enabled sid and stretch repos - then commented them out. Removed comments, "apt-get update", then "apt-get upgrade" - now I can install the prerequisite / dependencies! -- edit -- Only enabled "sid" - not both stretch and sid...
  8. I actually removed wicd (and associated packages) and installed network-manager and network-manager-gnome... Not a big fan of wicd... I just keep connection entries in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ for the various Networks I join... e.g. One for a Corporate / Enterprise SSID - couldn't connect to it using wicd (file originally created on an amd64 Ubuntu 15.10 machine) - wasn't able to generate the file using either wicd or NetworkManager - but I had the file handy... Just had to remove the MAC address (as seems to get a different MAC address on boot each time - on wlan0, OPi+ 2E).

  10. Trying to install qutebrowser in Armbian on OPi+ 2E (H3) - but get stuck on dependencies : apt-get install python-tox python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python3-sip python3-pypeg2 python3-jinja2 python3-yaml This is then followed up (if successful) by : dpkg -i qute-package.deb However cannot install all those dependencies (if I remove python3-pypeg2 from the list) : root@sporange:~/qutebrowser-0.8.2# apt-get install python-tox python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python3-sip python3-jinja2 python3-pygments python3-yaml Reading package lists...

And then if I download : https://qutebrowser.org/python3-pypeg2_2.15.2-1_all.deb Install that - still get other dependency issues - end up in a seemingly endless loop... Anyone have any clues / pointers? I've managed to install xombrero and dwb - but I was just getting used to qutebrowser (Windows, x86 Linux, ARM Linux [pine <dietPI>,CHIP <ChipOS>) and would really like this running on Armbian on the OPi+ 2E. I might see if I get same issues on my BananaPI running Armbian... P.S. slightly off topic - however I was "considering" getting stuck in and having a look at porting / running Armbian on CHIP (Allwinner R8) - but no idea on the difficulty level of this. I've got 5 CHIPs (one inside a PocketCHIP) and getting another 4 more in the next few weeks.
  11. I just got my 2E the other day - did nand-sata-install yesterday - and it worked flawlessly... Maybe try doing a "factory" install of Android to the eMMC (no idea how you do that - I hate Android - only use it because I "have" to on my phone) - then boot Armbian off SD card, then try the nand-sata-install again? My 2E came with Android on the eMMC (everything in Chinese)... Personally - love how fast the 2E boots off eMMC... Love Armbian too... when I get more "financial" I'll chip in to the project...
  12. Oh well - thanks for the heads up - guess I'll have to "think outside the plox"... Which means I'll be in the market for something like the Plox to keep the OPi+ 2E running - mainly just as a UPS for when I close the lid on the Lapdock
  13. Hi, Just signed on - I've got Armbian running on my BananaPI (i.e. the original plain Jane BPi) - and liking it on there so far. So - I was impressed with Armbian on there - and shelled out and got the OPi+ 2E - flashed an SDCard with Armbian - booted up - and really liking it. Only got it yesterday (took like a month after arriving in the country [AU]). Did nand-sata-install, successful and rebooted - and now running Armbian off eMMC - runs sweet. Really impressed so far - VASTLY better experience than Pine64 (I'm looking for a desktop experience on Arm - for no other reason than "because it's there"). Got Chromium browser working - synergy KVM and Plank Dock... full blown desktop experience. So - all I need now is to be able to run it off a LiPo battery. I tried joining the OrangePi org forum - but my forum ID is awaiting verification - and I haven't received an email from them - so no idea how that works - so I'm posting here. I'm assuming I can just use a couple of the pins on the RasbPI 40 pin connector - but - which ones, and - most importantly - will the H3 CHIP charge a LiPo that's hooked up? Found the attached pinouts diagram - there's two that are 3.3V+ - but no idea if that's in or out - or do I use the +5V pins on 2 or 4? Right now I'm running off a Plox Brick into the Pwr IN jack - the Plox is one of the few bricks I've got that allow simultaneous charging and output... However I'm using a Lapdock - and I'd rather run off this - however neither of the regular USB ports provide power - and even the USB "otg" output on the Lapdock disconnects power when opening/closing the lapdock lid... So I was thinking of rigging up a battery, and a female "otg" connector straight into the 40 pin PI array - but not sure which pins... I'm guessing 2 or 4, with 6 for ground...
