Hi: I use orange pi pc to build a little chromium kiosk for showing some static information(like temperature). most things are fine. but there is a electronic scroll bar which is not running smooth. I check my current environment (armbian 22.08 with ubuntu 22.04) that I am running xorg with fbdev driver. I wonder if there is other things I can try for the hardware? I search the forum and I found there is "lima" driver, but I don't know if I am using it or not. I can see "lima" is loaded via "lsmod" but am I using it currently? I hope the orange pi pc can do better with newer driver. if not, what's the next armbian pi I should buy to get better chromium experience? thanks a lot for help!!

thanks a lot for the information!

Hi: I am using armbian build on Debian 10(buster). I wonder how long I can get update if I don't upgrade to Debian 11(bulleye). I am satisfied with the current OS. if possible I want to continue use buster until Debian 12 comes out, but I don't know how long will armbian support old debian releases. thanks a lot for the hint!

thanks a lot for the hint. my usage is headless too. no wifi no network-manager but maybe with usb sometimes. your blacklist would be great help.

Hi: I am new to Armbian Buster. I understand the legacy h3consumption is gone now. I wonder if I can do something similar under Armbian Buster like: 1. only allow 1 or 2 core 2. lower ram frequency 3. disable hdmi

Hi Werner & Igor: thanks a lot for the advice. now I understand Armbian buster will be my best choice. thanks again for your kindly help!!

Hi: I am using debian jessie on orange pi H3 boards and I am very satisfied with it. but I need to upgrade now since jessie is out of support. i want to upgrade to debian buster since my pi is using as a server without any display attached. but I wonder maybe there is something good I missed from ubuntu: like 10 years LTS support? or perhaps most developers are using ubuntu so it is more mature? just need some advice. thanks a lot!

yes debian jessie is still there. but the armbian jessie packages are gone. like "linux-image-sun8i_5.75_armhf.deb". I got some of them. I just hope I have last chance to sync these great packages.

hi: I have old allwinner H2/H3 boards which work very stable with armbian jessie. although I can still get debian jessie packages, I found armbian jessie packages are gone from apt.armbian.com. is there any place I can sync these armbian jessie packages? thanks a lot for your help!!

how about the temperature of the new orange pi zero LTS? orange pi zero ver 1.0 is cool. ver 1.4 and ver 1.5 are hot.

Hi: thanks a lot for your hint!! google "armbianEnv.txt" I learn a lot of things. BTW, I can use "extraargs" to add boot parameters now. thanks again for your kindly help.

Hi: sorry for asking it again. anybody know how to add boot parameter to legacy armbian 3.4? do I need to re-compile something to do the work? thanks a lot for help!!

Hi: I want to add "nowayout" watch dog parameter to my orange pi pc. I think the syntax should be "sunxi_wdt.nowayout=1". but I don't know how to add this to kernel boot parameter in armbian? is there a config file to add boot parameter? BTW I found if I shut down my orange pi PC normally, I can not restart it unless I unplug/plug the power cord. is this behavior expected? thanks a lot for help!!

Hi: sorry I don't have name. there are tones of converters in the market and they basically looks like the same. the new and old one both use SP3232EEN.

Hi: thanks for the hint. it is easier to do the test. today I got new converters and they are fine. I don't know what happened to my original converter. I saw some people said there are many fake chips which can only do 9600 bps. but since the new converter works fine, I don't want to bother what happened to my old converter. thanks for all the help!! now I can minicom my routers!
