  1. I'm back again, different bpi-m5, same problem but with the new Dec 5th cinnamon release., loses video at xstart time. So I added the extraargs iine for a 1080 HDMI, still goes away right on schedule.. First boot script was not deleted so I added the network stuff as directed, but apparently it only exec's once anyway, no response to ping directed at the address I put in. Should I re-write the card but edit those 2 files before first boot, or am I spinning my wheels?. The led is blinking regularly like its alive, Good 5 volt 5 amp supply I can adjust up a tenth or so if that would help.
  2. I have, on site these images. -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 50058 Aug 20 01:34 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 4412407808 Aug 18 09:17 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 2378170368 Aug 6 08:18 Armbian_23.5.1_Bananapim5_jammy_current_6.1.30.img -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 7042236416 Aug 16 12:35 Armbian_23.5.1_Bananapim5_jammy_current_6.1.30_xfce_desktop.img -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 8459911168 Aug 18 12:57 Armbian_23.5.1_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.1.29_i3-wm_desktop.img -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 6819938304 Aug 21 09:27 Armbian_23.5.63_Bananapim5_bookworm_current_6.1.46_cinnamon_desktop.img -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 1631218920 Aug 21 10:38 Armbian_23.5.63_Bananapim5_bookworm_current_6.1.46_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 6828326912 Oct 28 12:57 Armbian_23.8.1_Bananapim5_bookworm_current_6.1.50_cinnamon_desktop.img One of those works probably the 6-1-30-xfce but its been updated a couple times a week since installed. I also have one more bpi-m5 of unk condition I could try. Its beginning to look like I ought to get more of these. Thank you. but plz look at the xsession-erors I posted for anything obvious I've missed. xsession-errors
  3. is this forum live??? No answers to my plea for help, in about 24 hours,, so I downloaded and wrote to its sd card the latest cinnamon desktop editing hostame, hosts, and network/interfaces to match its former self before I put the sd card back in it and powered up. It expanded the filesystem, then asked me for a root pw, then asked me to for my own name & passwd, generated by env of EN-utf8 then announced it was starting the X server. 5 seconds later the hdmi monitor goes black, 30 seconds later the hdmi monitor announces no signal and goes to sleep. Powerdown to reboot, asks me for my pw and shuts down the monitor again. No network comes up so now I'm totally lost, so I turn it off, pull the card, mount it here and see if there is anything in the Xorg.0.log, does not exist. So back to /home/gene/.xsession-errors. can't find a monitor, so I change it for a bigger, older aoc , take the card, after ejecting in from this box, and retry with that monitor. Normal display while booting but at startx time, blanks this one for ever too, reporting no signal before it powers down. .xsession-errors: from that card after bringing it back to this machine: attached, what is this install missing? Thank you for any help. xsession-errors
  4. I just updated a twin to this one, works fine after a reboot. The first ones hdmi goes away at X start, and x is not running ack htop. What else can I check via an ssh -X login?
  5. I just updated it again, getting 6 pkgs related to X, rebooted, but no login screen.
  6. Greetings all; I have a pile of bananapi-m5's, all used behind a home.arpa local network. I am the only one here, and no one but me will ever have access to these machines. So I need full access from any other machine on my local network. I updated one that I am slowly configuring to drive a bigger enter5+ 3d printer. New mobo in the rinter so I am starting from square one. Using klipper and mainsail as web interfaces to klipper. Now it goes to a no screen condition at about the time it used to bring up the login requester, but I can still access it via ssh -X me & my pw., but don't have full access cuz x or whatever is not running. I need it to be running a full desktop, which it was prior to the upgrade a day or so back but after I login from its own keyboard. The ssh -X login I have now has not even run udev, so klipper can't find the printer which is identified as its /dev/serial/by_id, but there is not a /dev/serial now. So, how do I make an uptodate Jammy install, think I've logged in to a fully working desktop? rpi4b's do it. Thanks all, Take care & stay well
  7. There was a time, 45 years ago when I was carving code for an rca 1802 with nothing but the rca programmers manual and a hex editor in a cosmac super elf, when I would have been in hog heaven at the prospect of such an offer But now I'm 88 and have mechanical things in my heart to keep my diabetic ticker running & keeping me going. So the info traded would likely be from you to me, which doesn't pay your net bills However, there one law no one can break, TANSTAAFL. And I don't do business with paypal since their delays in approving an ebay purchase 20 years ago cost the owner of the tv station I was at, playing consulting engineer ar the time, about $50,000 in lost revenue, Rig your donation page to take my mastercard and you will see a donation as soon as I discover I can use one of my cards to pay w/o having to move it thru paypal. In the meantime Igor, take care and stay well. Cheers, <gheskett@shentel.net>
  8. call in the st. bernards and drink the whiskey yourselves. I found it. I had plugged in a sabrent usb hub with a vivitar card reader in one port of it, preparatory to putting a klipper flash into the BTT cards I am putting into the printers. Unlug that piece of crap and it boots just fine. I'll rewrite this morning cinnamon 6.1.46 just to make sure. Take care and stay well Werner. Cheers, Gene Heskett <gheskett@shentel.net>
  9. the boot loop has a big block of a hex dump on screen for maybe 300 milliseconds before the screen blanks as it makes yet another attempt at booting, Gone way too fast to snap a picture of it. The cinnamon 6.1.46 released this morning suffers this and so does the 6.1.30 if its updated to today by apt. More later, possibly after I've swapped the m5 to a yet sealed one.
  10. I don't have facilities or a monitor to hook up to whatever a uart is. I'm out in the middle of nowhere usa, limited to what u-sd cards I can get from wallmart. I mid prosess of writing the 6.1.30 xfce desktop img to 3 diffferent onn 64gig cards just to save time testing if one will boot, cards are rate 4kuhd with a bg U and a 3 in the middle of that U. This worked and is working on another of these boards, I have a half dozen of them and am in the process of bulding a 3d printer farm of at least 4 printers. But it all went in the toilet when I apt updated the install this morning which put in a newer kernel. Now I'm afraid to update the only one running.. I had made the sd cards with dd up to now, but pulled the latest balenaEtcher AppImage which is now making the 3rd card with the older 6.1.30 xfce image just to see if that makes any diff. These tests are from a full powerdown and the bpi is powered from a 5 amp box. These bpi's were purchased from amazon in 2 different shipments, if this doesn't work, I'll try the last new bpi-m5 next. Thank you for the quick response Wener,
  11. new release date 8/21, boot goes thru first boot stuff ok, but when it starts the gui, hdmi dies and monitor shuts off, no ssh access either.Tried to dl xfce version, won't. Advise gheskett@shentel.net Earleir image worked fine until update this morning, is now stuck in uboot loop forever. Thanks
  12. armbian jammy, uptodate a/o yesterday, on 6 pack of bananapi-m5's running a 3d printer farm. You made chrome the default browser, which has port 80 high jacked for all of googles BS. So you can't use chrome for local web page troubleshooting, or to run klipper. localhost:80 is not accessible, neither is the machines fqdn:80. Can this bit of commercial hi-jacking be defeated? FF, installed as a snap and auto-updated nightly works fine, but because its a snap, must be restarted every day. That is a classic PITA. So, how do I make FF's snap the default browser?
  13. I'm an id10t. call in the St Bernards and drink the whisky yourselves. It was the .config file it uses to make flash. Its not a pure text file. Blowing it away and doing a fresh make menuconfig fixed it .
