neither apt nor snap will update firefox, apt says possible mirror update in progress. snap refresh or snap list says its current. Call me puzzled. Which do I uninstall??? .

I looked at the man page, last time I played with it was 2 decades ago. Its grown 2500 lines since and at my present age approaching 90, is gibberish. So I saved the netplan stuff and rewrote the card to start fresh. thanks Werner

new problem, logged in as gene@amanda, no passwd works for su or sudo. Any fix or do I start all over? Plus the netplan stuff cannot be found to save it. thanks

solved: took an hour to get it right. yaml is a picky bitch about format but its working. apt upgrading now.Thank you Igor.

This is west Virginia, USA. no ipv6 service within at least 100 miles of me.

keyboard spastic, finally got rid of repeats so it looks like the man page, restart does not change error message. finally got rid of error message, but no change in ip a , no ipv4 addess for end0, ip a reports only MAC address.

ip a says interface is end0.

I have booted it, generated root and user pw's, generated en-utf8 env, Powered off, copied my /etc/hosts file to it which has hostname and ipv4 address for this., edited /etc/hostname with nano to change it and chattr +i that hostname file so I don't have to redo it every boot. replaced card in bpi-m5. booted up to the new hostname, my pw worked but an ip a is still w/o an ipv4 address which it should get from the hosts file but didn't. . sudo network-manager is not found. Whats next, or what should /etc/network/interfaces look like?

This is interesting, I restored the "pool" listing in chrony.conf and restarted chrony and it now works from the ubuntu servers. But that is not what I want, I will return to this later. Thanks.

I have ntpsec setup s a stratum 2 server on this machine I'm no ATM, basically to lighten the load on the distros servers and its being used by most of my machines here. I'm bringing up, slowly it seems, another 3d printer with a bpi-m5 as the front end for the klipper driver. I have followed the directions in /etc/chrony/sources.d/README to add that file, pointing chrony at this machine for its time reference. Restarting /etc/init.d/chrony geenerates an ok response from systemctl status: Feb 13 14:56:03 bpi51e5p systemd[1]: Starting chrony, an NTP client/server...

Because of the date discrepancy, apt and I cannot install anything to monitor chrony activity on this new machine. However, a tcpdump watching port 123 on this machine shows no activity from that host. so the system date remains at feb 13. What have i missed? Thank you.

I found the /etc/default/networking, filled in the blanks, and fixed that now chrony is not working and the clock thinks it is feb 13th. Because I have quite a few machines, I setup an ntpsec server as a stratum 2 ntp server and all the rest of my network syncs to that. That was done by listing this machine instead of all the pool entry's in chrony.conf, except this time I put the entry in a sources.d/file.like it says in the README in that dir. Is that known not to work?

I think I have everything setup, nm even says its connected, but isn't. With about 15 entries in FQDN format in the /etc/hosts file, and the hostname set to whats before the first dot of one of the entries, ip a still doesn't show an ipv4 address. and ip r is an empty return. What all do I need to set?, it all looks kosher to me.

call in the St bernards, I tried that kit on a working machine, it didn't, unpacked another and it did.

I don't have wired keyboards, but wired mouse works ok.

latest armbian jammy, bananapi-m5, not recognizing wirelless keyboard mouse kit after x startup. This same elcheapo mini keyboard/mouse worked great with previous jammy/xfce4 versions. Any fixes available?. Both keyboard and mouse have sleep functions to save battery's. Also the security check expires long before I could type 20% of the about sentence. Like 20 seconds. Also would not accept w/o tag, only tag is solved, but is not
