thanks, pulled it.

These are usb3 labeled adapters, I did have problems earlier on a pi3b using another brand of adapter, but these startech adapters have been bulletproof, for years. c0rnelius current kernel is .6.12.22-current-meson64, will this patch apply? I've also found data on these drives indicating a 20W peak power for write operations. My present drive psu is a pretty hot usb wall wort, so based on 5x20, I have a 100W rated supply from amazon should be here midweek, and which will also power a 5" fan in one end of the drive cage. Which should move enough air to cool the drives. The question is now about the 7 port usb3 hub, can it deliver the 4 amps per port these drives need during a wright operatoin. Probably can't be answered until I can get a scope on the line. And that won't be done till the far end of the week. ;o}... If & when i get the psu i'll likely be back with more pix. Thanks until then. . . Cheers Gene.

just did another upgrade, 128 pkgs. no errors now but only 3 of the 5 drives show, but drives possibly too warm.drives are warm, need additional cooling. have 5" fan in front of enclosier but which pins do I connect it to? Or should I connect that big a fan direct to psu?

The drives are gigastones, made in Taiwan. Sata to usb3 Adaptor cables are latest StarTech's. I have had zero failures with that brand in over a decade of use here.

I am one of your monthly contributors. I too seem to be subjected recently, noted after doing an apt upgrade. -y. I have a 5 volt 5 amp supply for the bpi-m5 psu plugged into the C port. booting is now both intermittent and several mintes to get started. I have a usb3 hub with 7 usb3 ports plugged into one of the usb3 ports on the bpi-m5. The last of many attempts to boot it worked after the long delay so I plugged the hubs src cable back in to see if something has failed in the 5, 4T drives currently plugged in for amanda's use. But that now gets me an error msg, something about config #1 is returning an error 110, which it did NOT do a couple months ago. And dmesg is only reporting 4 drives. All intended to be one logical volume. Any idea how to determine which of hose 5 drives has gone toes up? Thank you. Gene Heskett, CET.

its my understanding that both fire-fox and t-bird are only snaps these days. Being a little paranoid, I didn't delete that file but renamed it to .last which apt barked about but didn't use. then the usual reload & full-upgrade procedure replaced both snapd and t-bird. t-bird I could probably remove as that is a printer and has never sent/received an email. My network does not disallow that as all other net stuff still works. Firefox apparently has its own update mechanim, all I need to do is stop it for an hour or so, and get the new version when it announces its availability in the upper right corner of its workspace. Thank you Igor.

I'll give that a shot after the weekend when the current new dirt addition to this printer should be working. Right now I'm torture testing the relay that will control the motor driver, waiting on Amazon to deliver some 30 amp 50 volt schotkey's to make a flywheel diode. Otherwise the back emf fry's the bugs in a 300 watt buck kit at turnoff time, that limits the start up currant to something the OEM 24 volt supply can handle. I am a 90 yo, long retired CET, we teach EE's stuff their profs didn't but getting rusty now. Thanks Igor.

looks like the github key has changed how do I refresh it?

uptodated today, jammy on bpi-m5 running 3d printer with klipper etc. With snapd frozen, so is firefox. possible fix? passwd f-u, I am that other contributing member but finally got it reset.

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.
