Debian is known to be rocksolid and stable. The software included therefore is older than upstream because its extensivly tested. Bug fixes are usually backported. To make it easy Ubuntu is a Fork of Debian, mostly unstable or experimental branch, adds some fancy desktop stuff and label it stable. Also Ubuntu maintains only a fraction of the packages includeed by themselves. Most are in "universe" and "multiverse" repositories which are community supported. If a package maintainer decides to no longer maintan a piece of software then you are on your own because nobody official will care. Also the advertisment von Ubuntu to have five year support is kind a BS, because if you take a look at Debian you will notice and do the math with LTS you will also get five years...

Well, then I suggest to start learning since these boards - and even though Armbian makes it easy enough to get started - are still development boards. There are no drivers for gc2035 in mainline available and the support for stoneage kernel version 3.4.x and 3.10 has been dropped due to lacking upstream support.

Something filled up your space. It is up to you to investigate what the reason is. You can try to search for big directories with commands like "du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 10" Found via web: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=linux+find+big+files&ia=web

Find big files and remove them? I dont' get it...

And maybe take a course in how-to-choose-a-proper-topic-title

None of that. Read the topic @Igor linked above.

Or you could simply add this patch to the patches folder and see if it works and give feedback https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/patch-5.8.1.xz

I have several cheap USB to barrel plug (to fit OrangePis, 4.0 x 1.7) adapters here and some seem to start failing. o cut a long story short, does anybody have recommendations on what product to buy to get such a cable with better quality?

Well that flag isn't documented. I'll fix that.

But wont be pre-installed on the image. Just to mention...

If the sources are missing and you may want to build your own image anyways I'd do this: BOARD=tinkerboard BRANCH=current KERNEL_ONLY=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no To get a complete set of packages including kernel image, kernel source, kernel headers, dtbs and U-Boot.

The two worst things that could happen are either the compile failes or the board does not boot after kernel replacement. So if possible make a backup of your sd card first, just in case... Also take note that running a custom kernel voids support from Armbian side

Not possible via apt or any other way to sideload. However making a working kernel package for your board is fairly easy using the build script: https://github.com/armbian/build Clone, run, select your board and that you wish to adjust the kernel config. Done. The script will handle the rest.

Uninstall has not been implemented yet and there are not efforts to do that in near future. You can help by contributon and send some code https://github.com/armbian/config

Maybe not exactly 7 days. The cron that does the job probably running only once a day, so give it of grace period You received a like. This should remove the validation as well.

And would increase the pressure on moderation too.

Maybe you wanna to share your success by commiting a PR to https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-rk3399-legacy.config ?

If the wifi interfaces is there (iwconfig) then I don't know. In the meantime you surely will find some tutorials in the web how to setup a hotspot on buster with hostapd.

Maybe @piter75 finds time to add this board as CSC by simply copy/paste the m4v2 to have something others can try too?

Then you should ask Tanix for help because we do not deal with 3rd party images here.

The limit should be gone with the next cronjob.

From my feel most of those are crap anyways and provide some weird/useles soft-raid solutions which can be realised via mdadm as well or even rely on that...

The easiest way is probably trying to extract the device tree from an official friendlyelec image and compare those.

This is great news. If you can simply try further features of the board and report if they work or not with the m4v2 image. If somebody finds time initial support for this board can be added by simply copy paste.

The OrangePi One seems to handle this even better. openssl is now running for 15 Minutes and the temperature barely exceeds 85*C without a heatsink at room temperature of about 22*C. Still waiting to finish atm. Edit: Finished And the temps from beginning to end:
