    vlad got a reaction from Baos in armbian ssh login motd   
    ok so on a quick search looks like there are some discrepancies on what the pam_motd is supposed to do and what it actually does 
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=743286
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/1169558
    http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/246436/how-to-set-a-dynamic-message-of-the-day-motd-in-debian-jessie-8-2-for-ssh
     
    anyway this is how i fixed the problem on my armbian 
     
    first edit the /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/sshd and comment this line (in both files) 
    session    optional   pam_motd.so  motd=/run/motd.dynamic noupdate and create a link from /run/motd.dynamic to /etc/motd/
    ln -s /run/motd.dynamic /etc/motd reopen your session and the motd should be updated every time on login

    vlad got a reaction from wildcat_paris in alternative p2p download   
    I guess everyone knows that downloading distros in general takes a lot of bandwidth, same with armbian even thought the armbian distro i only a couple of hundreds of MB.
     
    so beside offering direct download why not start using p2p downloads like ubuntu and other distros do already in order to save bandwidth. We can use the openbittorrent.com public tracker - i already have a cubietruck which is powered 24/7 for my p2p needs so i would mind sharing some armbian distros via p2p.
     
    What do you guys think ?

    vlad got a reaction from wildcat_paris in Upgrade Error with Armbian 5.00 on Cubieboard2 running from NAND   
    get something based on ftdi devices they are know to work across all platform windows/linux/osx but make sure you get a genuine device since ftdi are again abusing, at least on windows operating systems, that updates system and bricks non genuine ftdi chips
     
    ebay has hundreds of listings for ft232 starting at around $2.2 only problem it could take a while to arrive. Based on where you live check out sparkfun or adafruit or pololu - they are US based and they will sell you a genuine part but it will cost like 5-6x or more than the ebay listings if you are EU based check olimex or exp-tech.de

    vlad got a reaction from Tido in Creating a backup SD card (* .img) to another media or network   
    i started working sometime ago on a backup script for my armbian, it is not complete and it was built for my case but it give a starting point for anyone interested in making a backup.
     
    some decisions i took before writing it:
    decided to go with rsync + archive and not rsync + image, going with archive instead of image makes restoring the backup a bit harder but it doesn't stop you from using a different format for your partition or a different sd card size same . archives are uploaded to a ftp server, i chose ftp and not ssh because the ftp service is provided by my ISP so super fast speeds and it cost almost nothing. i have the rootfs on a mechanical hdd and the uboot/kernel on sdcard so i am making two archives boot and rootfs (but i could be easily changed to backup the whole thing)  the backup its suppose to run every midnight in a crontab so it doesn't output anything directly but its logged in a file, which i am planing to email after a successful backup. backup.zip
     
    After the backup in order to have a bootable sd card you need to write the u-boot to the sd card your using some information are provided here http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/594-move-armbian-from-one-sd-to-another/- that i am hoping to fix in the future with a restore script.
