I'm now installing the xfce4-desktop tasksel minor buglet, ib sudo -E synaptic, the mouse pointer disappears when over a checkbox.

Also, in the bug report questionaire, it requires one to sign up for google, and I don't "do" google. Their vacuum sucking up data about you never turns off. And it is not open for discussion. dl is Armbian_22.08.7_Bananapim5_bullseye_edge_5.19.16_gnome_desktop.img xfce4-power-manager was not installed, is installing now, as it pulls in several more packages Where in what you might call a menu, is it configured? The lack of a pager to switch workspaces is "painful". Thank you.

Another detail, how can I determine if its booting from u-sd or emmc? Thank you.

Anything involved with screen blanking /MUST/ be removed or disabled, on the bpim5, and it exists in so many places it took me 2 days of poking around to stop the no recovery except reboot if un-used for more than 15 minutes regardless of what it happens to be running at the time. When a blanker kicks in, the monitor powers down and the bpim5 goes inactive with only the red pwr led on steady, and nothing wakes it up except the reset button. These things use so little power that it doesn't bither me a bot to leave them running. I have an rpi4b running a big metal lathe that works as intended, with uptimes in years, this should be the same. It would be nice to have a blanker that actually blanked only the monitor instead of crashing the whole system. Can this be fixed?

I went back into that room after posting this, and found it had locked up and blanked the screen, found the button beside the power connector and rebooted it. Logged back in, did a startx then stumbled over another settings thingy so I reconfigured the networking and the network is all working now. I think.

New bananapi M5, no net. initial boot and config failed, font missing characters would not allow me to edit networking entries. rebooted it with the power cord, started x by hand, Menu's totally different from 2 previous installs on rock64's. Finally found a terminal, and switched fonts in geany so now the keyboard is generally working. in geany, but not in armbian-config. I have edited the /etc/hosts file to setup my static address network, fixed resolv.conf and chattr +i it so nm can't destroy it. I have edited /etc/hostname but can't get it to to "take". ip a returns that eth0 is up but no ipv4 or ipv6 address can be seen ip r return emptyhanded. I can't even ping machines in the next room by address, no route This is ipv4 country here in northern West Virginia, probably a hundred miles from the nearest net connection that groks ipv6. My router does NAT so everything here is in the 192.168.xx.yy block And it has no dhcp server running. I've 7 other machines here that thanks to the NAT in the router, can tour this ball of rock and water with no hicups. resolv.conf is identical to whats on 7 other machines here, and they all work just fine. So how do I go about setting up a hosts file base local network? Thanks much all. Cheers, Gene

I just did another apt upgrade on one of the rock64's that included 8 packages, some of it Xorg stuff, but the problem persists, no video on the rock64's own monitor. Both of them. They are both running well enough i can login with an "ssh -Y nameofmachine" So I have extracted a fresh copy of the dmesg error stanza, and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log generated by the reboot after the update. Attached. If that can't ID the problem, what else do you need? I see you are asking for help. I don't code well, but I'll certainly play the canary in the coal mine as a test mule. Both machines are up to date as of half an hour ago. Thanks for any help. dmesg-clipXorg.0.log.txt

What else can I get you? Many Thanks all.

further info on the x failure on rock64's. This is something I've not seen in 24 years of a linux only house. An update session on both very early rock64's killed the local video. Xorg.0.log

Since 23 hours, 23 views, no reply's. So I have ordered a 4 pack of the latest 4gig bananna pi's, and would like to know: 1. if Armbian will work on them, and 2. If octoprint-1.8.6 can be installed in a python venv so I can get back to work on a room full of 3d FDM printers. off topic, I have been running an apt update at about 8 hour intervals on the rock64's but while error msgs are, or were displayed on the hdmi output, no xserver appears to be start-able, the hdmi display has now gone dark without its declaring a loss of signal so I have to assume it is generating a synch signal of some sort. I can ssh -Y into both from this machine 3 rooms away, but the local displays are blanked. Thank you all, take care & stay well.

after several minutes, a 3 line error message is output on 2 old original rock64's. network works, I can log in from my local net, and dmesg says: [ 35.867400] Unbalanced IRQ 47 wake disable [ 35.867422] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1580 at kernel/irq/manage.c:900 irq_set_irq_wake+0x108/0x148 [ 35.867447] Modules linked in: rfkill joydev snd_soc_spdif_tx gpio_ir_recv rc_core lz4hc cdc_acm lz4 hantro_vpu(C) rockchip_vdec(C) rockchip_iep snd_soc_simple_card v4l2_h264 snd_soc_rockchip_i2s rockchip_rga videobuf2_dma_contig snd_soc_rockchip_pcm snd_soc_hdmi_codec snd_soc_rk3328 snd_soc_simple_card_utils v4l2_mem2mem snd_soc_rockchip_spdif videobuf2_dma_sg videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops videobuf2_v4l2 snd_soc_core videobuf2_common videodev snd_pcm_dmaengine mc snd_pcm snd_timer snd soundcore cpufreq_dt zram binfmt_misc sch_fq_codel ramoops reed_solomon pstore_blk pstore_zone ip_tables x_tables autofs4 hid_logitech_hidpp hid_logitech_dj realtek dwmac_rk stmmac_platform stmmac lima dw_hdmi_cec pcs_xpcs gpu_sched dw_hdmi_i2s_audio gpio_syscon [ 35.867680] CPU: 0 PID: 1580 Comm: NetworkManager Tainted: G C 5.15.74-rockchip64 #22.08.6 [ 35.867693] Hardware name: Pine64 Rock64 (DT) [ 35.867699] pstate: 800000c5 (Nzcv daIF -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 35.867709] pc : irq_set_irq_wake+0x108/0x148 [ 35.867724] lr : irq_set_irq_wake+0x108/0x148 [ 35.867734] sp : ffff80000a7e3b30 [ 35.867739] x29: ffff80000a7e3b30 x28: ffff00000184d880 x27: 0000000000000000 [ 35.867757] x26: 0000000000000000 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: 0000ffffe172c0f8 [ 35.867774] x23: 000000000000002f x22: 0000000000000000 x21: 00000000ffffffea [ 35.867790] x20: ffff80000954c7c8 x19: ffff000000711200 x18: 0000000000000001 [ 35.867806] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: 0000000000000280 [ 35.867822] x14: ffff80000a7e3840 x13: 00000000ffffffea x12: ffff800009b1fd10 [ 35.867838] x11: 0000000000000003 x10: ffff800009b07cd0 x9 : ffff800009b07d28 [ 35.867855] x8 : 0000000000017fe8 x7 : c0000000ffffefff x6 : 0000000000000001 [ 35.867870] x5 : ffff8000f501a000 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : 0000000000000002 [ 35.867886] x2 : 0000000000000001 x1 : 8cf7ed973ed99a00 x0 : 0000000000000000 [ 35.867903] Call trace: [ 35.867908] irq_set_irq_wake+0x108/0x148 [ 35.867920] stmmac_set_wol+0x74/0x128 [stmmac] [ 35.867985] dev_ethtool+0x1400/0x20b0 [ 35.867998] dev_ioctl+0x1fc/0x3f8 [ 35.868008] sock_do_ioctl+0xb4/0xf8 [ 35.868018] sock_ioctl+0x2d4/0x3b8 [ 35.868027] __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xa8/0xe8 [ 35.868038] invoke_syscall+0x44/0x108 [ 35.868050] el0_svc_common.constprop.3+0x94/0xf8 [ 35.868061] do_el0_svc+0x24/0x88 [ 35.868071] el0_svc+0x20/0x50 [ 35.868080] el0t_64_sync_handler+0x90/0xb8 [ 35.868089] el0t_64_sync+0x180/0x184 [ 35.868099] ---[ end trace b82369d81dab89d6 ]--- [ 147.094526] hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.4.auto: Only one simultaneous stream supported!
