I've seen a growing memory utilization on my Odroid HC1. It turned out that `irqbalance` is a root cause. It looks like it is a known bug Right now ` irqbalance ` get restarted once per a day to keep it small. $ grep 'resource limit' /var/log/monit.log [MSK Sep 30 21:00:56] error : 'irqbalance' mem amount of 400.0 MB matches resource limit [mem amount>400.0 MB] [MSK Oct 2 01:53:31] error : 'irqbalance' mem amount of 400.1 MB matches resource limit [mem amount>400.0 MB] [MSK Oct 3 06:46:01] error : 'irqbalance' mem amount of 400.2 MB matches resource limit [mem amount>400.0 MB] [MSK Oct 4 11:38:34] error : 'irqbalance' mem amount of 400.2 MB matches resource limit [mem amount>400.0 MB] [MSK Oct 5 16:31:01] error : 'irqbalance' mem amount of 400.2 MB matches resource limit [mem amount>400.0 MB]

Hi Armbian Users I'm french, so excuse my poor english I'm having hard times installing Ubiquiti Unifi Controller on Armbian (running on a XU4) Armbian version : Armbian_5.59_Odroidxu4_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.66 I followed different tutorial, but no luck with those no brain tutorial. I must be retarded MongoDB is giving me a hard time, broken dependencies and so on. I understood that some managed to do it with Armbian based on Ubuntu. No luck eitheir for me. I did add the mongodb repository for 3.6 version, which support arm64 architecture. Apt never gave me the ability to install the mongodb-org package and dependencies for this package. A few links : https://github.com/aryonp/unifi/blob/master/install_unifi_odroid_xu4.sh https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ (followed the ubuntu 16.04 tutorial) https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=22850 https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/220066768-UniFi-How-to-Install-Update-via-APT-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu I could have left that here, but no.. My armbian.list : deb http://apt.armbian.com stretch main stretch-utils stretch-desktop # deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian stretch/mongodb-org/4.0 main deb [arch=amd64,arm64] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse # deb [arch=amd64,arm64] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian stretch main contrib non-free rpi The few commands that goes with it : apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886 wget http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian.public.key apt-key add raspbian.public.key sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/unifi-repo.gpg https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-repo.gpg apt update apt install unifi apt install oracle-java8-installer oracle-java8-set-default oracle-java8-unlimited-jce-policy systemctl enable unifi systemctl disable mongodb systemctl stop mongodb /etc/init.d/unifi start I end up with a Unifi Controller 5.8.30 working on Armbian (Debian), but... MongoDB is in version 2.4 and comes from raspbian repository ? Any thought on this ? Should I go an other way ? Thank you

Hi. I have a Odroid XU4 with Ubuntu Bionic latest release (5.60), powered with this UPS: APC SmartUPS 750 VA. Apcupsd doesn't work. The problem seems related to the missing /dev/usb/hiddev0. After searching on Google, I found that apcupsd requires this feature enabled in the kernel. CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=Y I build my own kernel enabling it, but no change. Here the output of the command # dmesg | grep Smart [ 4.125553] usb 1-1.2: Product: Smart-UPS 750 FW:651.13.I USB FW:7.3 [ 4.205622] hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0001: hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 750 FW:651 On the Rock64 board it works without problem. Here the output of the command # dmesg | grep Smart [ 2.175796] usb 3-1: Product: Smart-UPS 750 FW:651.13.I USB FW:7.3 [ 3.719981] hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 750 FW:651.13.I USB FW:7.3] on usb-ff5d0000.usb-1/input0 As you can see, on the Rock64 board there is hiddev0 hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0 and /dev/usb/hiddev0 exists. In the Odroid forum, I found only this post about CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=28978 Thanks in advance.

OK, OK, OK, OK No problems! :-) Just experience. Mine. My XU4 is connected to VU7 Plus, nice. charming. The startscreen when starting from a very beginning: The letters are really very small. The VU7 is adjusted to 1200x720 but it is 1024x768 Adjusting the size of the letters one should have some experience in doing that. Also in setting the keyboard. I don't have good experience without DHCP on XU4. Also not with IPv6 for the server doesn't support IPv6. (ADSL-Modem :->) https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/emmc/recovery_xu4 is very good No problems. Working with Configuration utility one can get lost without reading the "book" simultanously. And here is some warning in "stretch' making stress: Copy&paste using vim in CLI is bad. One has always be prepared for "systemctl restart gpm" or vim.basic will block XU4! I always have a CLI with TOP to stop vim.basic. People at debian don't repaire it I don't get out why not. Is there anyone having experience with XU6 and Linphone? That's for the moment and all the best for the work on armbian!

Hi, I'm running into a problem I can't solve. On my new Odroid HC1 I'm trying to set up a SFTP with chroot, but no matter what I'm trying it doesn't work on Armbian (or OMV). Tried it multiple times with a clean Armbian (Armbian_5.59_Odroidxu4_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.66 - also tried the Bionic image) install, simply added a user, added the required lines to sshd_config but each time I get a "Broken Pipe" error. On the other side when I use the minimal Ubuntu image from Hardkernel.com the chroot SFTP works without a problem. But I would like to run Armbian. Has anybody been able to create a chroot for SFTP on a Odroid HC1/2? Could it be that it is a problem with the how the partitions are mounted?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to replace my Raspberry Pi with the Odroid HC1 and this is the last thing in my way.

hey there, I'm using an odroid xu4 with the cloudshell 2 with 2 drives in RAID1 and Armbian with Debian 9 Stretch as my OS, built via Vagrant 2 weeks ago. The /boot partition sits on a sd-card, the OS on the harddrive. I''ve copied both via dd on both devices(boot an card, rootfs on harddrive), and after the first boot it worked flawlessly, because the boot information uses the UUID, not the /dev path. After the first boot and configuration of another user and so on, I rebooted the system to let it resize the rootfs to extend it to 2TB, which is the size of the harddrive. But after this, it seems that cryptroot cannot decrypt the rootfs anymore and gives the message above. If I just use the sd-card it's working as intended, but with much less spacce (32 GB instead of 2TB) and much less speed, so this is not an option. What can I do, to analyze this error?

Hi all! :-) To those who made the excellent work for my oroid! Well done, very well done! Well, just one point, maybe: Sep 08 13:47:55 odroidxu4 systemd[1]: Starting Atop process accounting daemon...

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full. But "top" allready works fine so this might be a hint. Another thing: Raspian doesn't us this network-manager and is nuch easier for configuration. Sorry for disturbing.

Today I wanted to upgrade from jessie to stretch, I'm following this website. After changing the word jessie to stretch in /etc/apt/sources.list and in every file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* I noticed that changing the omv-extras-org.list from: # OMV-Extras.org deb https://dl.bintray.com/openmediavault-plugin-developers/erasmus jessie main # OMV-Extras.org Testing deb https://dl.bintray.com/openmediavault-plugin-developers/erasmus-testing jessie main to # # OMV-Extras.org deb https://dl.bintray.com/openmediavault-plugin-developers/erasmus stretch main # OMV-Extras.org Testing deb https://dl.bintray.com/openmediavault-plugin-developers/erasmus-testing stretch main causes apt-get update to throw errors. So I decided to leave jessie in there for now. Ok now apt-get update precedes until the line: Get:23 http://httpredir.debian.org stretch/non-free armhf Packages [71,2 kB] Fetched 10,7 MB in 8s (1.310 kB/s) and leaves me with a plain cursor. Now if I hit Ctrl+C I get the following output on screen: root@hc2:~# Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/omv-mkaptidx", line 113, in <module> "uri": pkg.candidate.uri, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/package.py", line 567, in uri return next(iter(self._uris())) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/package.py", line 550, in _uris yield indexfile.archive_uri(self._records.filename) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/package.py", line 309, in _records if self.package._pcache._records.lookup(self._cand.file_list[0]): KeyboardInterrupt I see some python and omv error Can anyone help? I hoped for a painless upgrade and the first problems are appearing even before the "main course"

Does anyone know any way to fix the annoying way the fan works on this device? Even on idle load, the fan spins up every couple of minutes, keeps spinning for a few seconds, then turns off again, only to repeat a few minutes later. I can't even sleep in the same room the device is in... I've tried using this: https://github.com/f1vefour/odroid-xu4-fan-control And it hasn't really solved anything, as the fan cannot start on PWM values lower than 100... it instead makes squeaking noises. So having adjusted the script, nothing has really changed. Is there something I could do to fix this in software? Perhaps something that doesn't involve getting the heatsink for it, or use a different fan. Currently I can't modify anything about the SBC due to the case I got for it...

Hello, I am interested in getting an Odriod-HC2 to use as a small LXD host to run a couple services that require decent hard disk size and performance. Does the headless jessie or ubuntu 4.14 images support or already include LXD? P.S.; I tried to search for this but did not see a question asked.

So I have this issue with the XU4, where at times when I start device from the main power button, it doesn't seem to properly connect to the LAN, in such a way that I cannot ssh to it, nor ping it. Since the device is headless, and I can't control it through LAN, I have no way of looking at dmesg during the problematic boots. Are there specific logs I could look at to diagnose this problem?

So I wanted to set up an Odroid XU4 as a low-power low-cost NAS and "seedbox" for a personal project, and I wanted to have a GUI that doesn't take too many resources (or spin the fan too much) due to the fact that qBittorrent can't run as a thin client, and I don't want to have to use a WebUI, nor do I want to use a different client (Transmission frequently has security issues, and Deluge is a bit too resource-intensive). I'm currently using the XU4 headless, and only have it hooked up to LAN, so it's a bit difficult to tell what's going on at system initialisation, and since I'm controlling the device through SSH, I'm unable to manually start X11 after booting and logging in. I've tried to install the desktop packages through the armbian ncurses setup, but I felt it was a bit bloated (I don't really need compositing or any fancy effects, nor do I need all the features in XFCE, and I have no use of PulseAudio), so I decided to set up my own DE, with OpenBox, and no login manager, just so I could VNC into the XU, and look at qBittorrent. So I've installed xorg and it's requirements, also OpenBox, I've set up ~/.xinitrc to start openbox-session, and I've set /etc/X11/Xorg.conf to this: Section "Device" Identifier "Dummy" Driver "dummy" VideoRam 256000 Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" Option "NoDDC" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor" HorizSync 15.0-100.0 VertRefresh 15.0-200.0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen" Monitor "Monitor" Device "Dummy" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1920x1080" "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection But for some reason, X11 doesn't seem to start at all (there are no logs under /var/log/) when I boot the device. I've tried issuing this command after browsing around for a solution: systemctl set-default graphical.target But it doesn't seem to have fixed anything. Is there something else that needs to be done in order to tell the OS to run X11 at startup? Also, does anyone else know of a more efficient way to do this? VNC seems to cause XU's fan to spin constantly, which I assume means it takes a bit of a toll on the device from what I could tell.

Hi - is it possible to install linux-headers from repositories on the XU4, so that DKMS builds of wifi adapters will work properly? I'd like to have DKMS handle rebuilding the driver for my RTL-8812au based wNICs on the XU4, as it does on my x86-64 devices. Thank you!

Hi, I am trying to get my Xu4 to boot from an emmc card, I am using Armbian Bionic mainline kernel 4.9.y. I can write this to SD card, and it boots and runs OK. I prepared the emmc card using the inbuilt system nand-sata-install script. The emmc card will not boot. I tried a couple of other iso.s same non result. Checking the forum I found this thread started last year:- This thread was HIJACKED by Tkaiser , who turned it into a discussion about OMV, and I cannot see a successful conclusion to the original boot problem! Please can you advise me of the method to get my emmc card to boot on my xu4, using the current kernels and not having to revert to a 3 series! many thanks P

Hi Guys, I tested both the odroid official and armbian images for the XU4. Both run well, but I prefer the armbian image. I have attached my 800x480 hdmi display, it works, but there's a purple line at the left side of the display. ( I think it's one pixel wide) This is not the case with the odroid official image, so I guess it's a configuration issue. I took a look at the boot. ini file, but I don't see anything that rings a bell. Can somebody point me to the right direction?

Hi, I received 2 same boards recently. One is working great, second has suffered from unexpected shutdowns. Rpimonitor has not recorded this high temperatures yet, maximum temperature recorded is not more than 90C. SoC has been utilized on 100% with ffmpeg video conversion and other tasks. I run these board on Jessie or Bionic system and have tested mainline stable and beta kernel. These board have got passive heatsink however I put 80x80 quiet slower fan on the top of heatsink, thermal compound is replaced for silver one without making problem solved.

The UN-official, UN-supported, UN-timely, UN-derrated... Exynos 5422 MEDIA TESTING SCRIPT Yes, the script is somewhat untimely, because it comes when including kernel 4.14 in Armbian next images is getting troublesome. And underrated, because this old SoC seems to be losing the focus of attention in favor of some more modern powerful ones. But it is still a great SoC, and it is worth trying to get the best out of it. The script will provide the installation of all the libraries and system configurations necessary for GPU accelerated X desktop, Chromium WebGL,VPU decoding/encoding acceleration through MFC, and GLES 3.1 / OpenCL 1.1 support. It will also install two media players (MPV and Kodi stable) and FFmpeg, all of them using VPU acceleration. Two example programs using the OpenCL functionality: Examples form the Arm Compute Library, and a GPU crypto miner (an old version, but small and simple). Two additional small packages, that have no big interest from the developer prospective, but I find them interesting to play with: Support libraries for commercial web video streaming (tested with Netflix), and a simple Pulseaudio GTK equalizer using LADSPA. Since all the features require the 4.14 kernel to work, the script will also give the option to install an archived 4.14.43 Armbian kernel, in case some other version is detected in the system. Of course, the best option is to use armbian-config to perform a kernel upgrade, but we are providing the archived version just in case the 4.14 packages disappear temporarily from Armbian repos. Also, this script can be tailored for desktop or headless installation, by selecting the appropriate options in the main menu. Here is a more thorough documentation: >>> DOWNLOAD LINK <<< Instructions: Download the file above Untar it: tar xvf media-exynos5422_1.0.tar.xz cd exynos5422 ./media-exynos5422.sh Notes: This script is not officially supported by the Armbian project. It is just a community effort to help the development of the main build, by experimenting with a possible implementation of the media capabilities of this particular SoC. Therefore, questions about the script should not be laid out as support requests, but as commentaries or community peer-to-peer assistance. That being said, all commentaries/suggestions/corrections are very welcome. In the same way, I will do my best to help solve any difficulty that may arise regarding the script. Enjoy!

I have some HC1 running since last year. Before going into production I did SATA install, NEXT kernel, firmware and stretch update (I need that) and all updates offered through apt since then. I have read about newer armbian releases that my machines do not load and further HC1 optimization which I can´t find in my armbian-config. I wonder whether my setup will receive proper updates. It would be quite a hassle to reinstall. Now I have: Welcome to ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.9.61-odroidxu4 Linux HC1 4.9.61-odroidxu4 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 22 16:34:23 CET 2017 armv7l cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb http://apt.armbian.com stretch main stretch-utils stretch-desktop

Does someone know why the kernel reverted to 4.9.* from 4.14.*?

A recent check of failed services showed me that following service failed: systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service Checking via journalctl I see this: Failed to write utmp record: No space left on device So far I understood it has to do with the space for the logs being full, I can delete logs to make place. My question is, how could I have that done by default in an easy way? The message itself doesn't bother my that much but I guess there are no new logs created if there's no space which isn't ideal.

HC1 Jesse. I assumed at first it was network error, but this is consistent. Have downloaded and checksummed successful. Assumed then it was the SD card, replaced and have now tried several. Power supply is solid. I believe the hardware and bandwidth / router are fine. Simply repeat apt update and everything appears to go well. Did it ignore the erroneous entry or get a proper one?? armbianmonitor -u output http://ix.io/19Nz

Hello, I am the main developer of NextCloudPlus. NCP is a community project to make it easier to run and setup a Nextcloud instance in ARM boards, by providing configuration tools and setup wizards for typical management tasks such as backups, SSL certificates and more. We have just released the first stable version of Armbian based images with NCP for Odroid XU4 / HC1 / HC2. Check it out at the downloads section. More boards will come soon Feedback, testing and development help are very welcome Cheers,

Hello everybody, I'm very new to the topic 'armbian' and yet excited. Just played with the BananaPi and downloaded the distro from the first link I got (light/mainline I think). Now I have bought an Odroid XU4 and want to build a Home-Server / NAS with it, wondering which distro to choose. Of course without the heavy-load desktop, but (xenial) next oder default? Thank you. Regards AXEL

Hi, yesterday I did a apt upgrade and noticed that my omv install also got updated. Now copying from my HC2 I only get like 50 mb/s. I always got like 100 mb/s..at least win explorer showed this, I know it's not accurate. Could the update have erased/overwritten all these nice tweaks @tkaiser made for us to increase tranfer speed? That would be very unfortunate :/ Any chance I can roll back the omv update?
