With new python based build system there is error compiling headers while installing headers deb. Im not sure is it because of new build system or the problem is in 6.1.15 kernel branch. My compile command was: ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepione BRANCH=current BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,img SKIP_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAINS=no BUILD_KSRC=no PRIVATE_CCACHE=yes RELEASE=bionic ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE=yes BUILD_KSRC=yes KERNEL_GIT=full While installing i got: igor@honeypot:~/trash/debs$ ls -1 armbian-config_23.05.0-trunk_all.deb armbian-firmware_1-SA56ad-Bf566_all.deb linux-dtb-current-sunxi_6.1.15-S4261-D4dc8-Pd2ed-C54bbHfe66-Bd6b8_armhf.deb linux-headers-current-sunxi_6.1.15-S4261-D4dc8-Pd2ed-C54bbHfe66-Bd6b8_armhf.deb linux-image-current-sunxi_6.1.15-S4261-D4dc8-Pd2ed-C54bbHfe66-Bd6b8_armhf.deb linux-u-boot-orangepione-current_2022.07-Se092-P12e0-Be261_armhf.deb igor@honeypot:~/trash/debs$ sudo dpkg -i * [sudo] password for igor: (Reading database ... 107907 files and directories currently installed.)

On the 25.11.1 Noble release, using the 6.12 kernel, there is no package to install the linux-headers for installed kernel. Is there some place to get them so that it is possible to install a kernel module for the provided ubuntu-rockchip kernel?

Hi I installed Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.151_Odroidhc4_trixie_current_6.18.2_minimal.img Trying to build zfs-dkms I discovered that I was missing the linux-headers for this kernel version and there is no package containing it. At least apt-cache didn't find anything. Any idea where to find it? Thanks, Chris

Thanks Igor. Just for reference, I also tried Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.332_Odroidhc4_forky_current_6.18.7_minimal.img apt update apt upgrade apt install linux-headers-current-meson64 apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-initramfs zfs-dkms zfs-zed Everything went fine and seams to working OK. Chris

Initially I attempted upgrading the kernel from 6.1.26 to 6.1.33 using the build scripts to generate the newer kernel and headers. After rebooting I found that the system just appeared to hang around starting kernel. I did wait 10 minutes at first, thinking that perhaps their maybe some stuff going on in the background but after that conclude that it had most certainly crashed. The frustrating thing being that I did not appear to get any errors come through the debug port. At this point I assumed that perhaps something may have broke during the upgrade. My second attempt was using a completely fresh compiled image but unfortunately the result was still the same.

http://blog.armbian.com/content/images/2026/01/githubhighlights-2-2.webpThis week’s Armbian development saw a wide range of updates focused on automation, hardware support, and workflow improvements. Key highlights include the introduction of automatic YAML target generation, expanded support for Hetzner ARM64 runners, and enhancements to the redirector update workflow with cache mirror support. Several board-specific fixes and feature additions were made, including improved power cycle handling for meson-sm1 devices and new binary files for RK35 series components. The team also advanced kernel support, notably enabling RDNA2 GPU compatibility and initial kernel 6.18 support for Ayn odin2. Continuous integration and build reliability received attention through Docker-based unit tests and improved artifact management. Overall, these changes reflect ongoing efforts to streamline development processes and broaden hardware compatibility across the Armbian ecosystem.

Thanks Werner and Gaetano I fear DIY an image exceeds my skils 😉 I tried linux-headers-arm64. Result: kernel downgraded to 6.12 and wrong links in /boot: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Dec 29 22:28 Image -> vmlinuz-6.18.2-current-meson64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 23 13:27 uInitrd -> uInitrd-6.12.63+deb13-arm64 Corrected, built ZFS but at the end USB not working. It's not worth the hassle. I ended up installing Armbian_25.8.1_Odroidhc4_bookworm_current_6.12.41_minimal.img Everything seams OK, especially ZFS. Anyway, the link to Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.151_Odroidhc4_trixie_current_6.18.2_minimal.img is not there anymore 🙂 Thanks for your time. Chris

Hi Chris, when I tried to install the headers on my pcduino3nano, there were two options: linux-headers-armmp (or equivalent for your board) and kernel-headers. This secong package name was incomplete, but apt suggested a list of possible matches for my system. Give that a try. Cheers, Gaetano.

Thanks Werner. Meanwhile I have tried a minimal image and did not plug the ethernet cable it, the Armbian initial boot script installed the drivers and connected seamlessly to wifi. No need for the marrownr external driver, so the headers problem is no longer a problem. Now I am keeping my fingers crossed that the OTG will work (it didn't work with Johang's latest images. So I created my own using hte armbian compilation script. It doesn't have Trixie for pcduino3nano, but bookworm should work. Cheers, Gaetano.

Hi, this is my first post, my apologies, I could not find a matching topic category for this PCduino3 nano question/issue (no built-in wifi, I use a Roccar wifi dongle) I have successfully built the image using the armbian configuration script (bookworm current), the board boots and runs teslausb, however, I am unable to install the driver for my wifi dongle. The error when starting the install-driver.sh script is "your kernel headers are not properly installed". I tried apt install linux-headers-current-sunxi and kernel-headers-armmp, they install successfully but I still get the same error about the kernet headers not being properly installed. The drivers are for rtl88x2bu cloned from morrownr on github Any help would be appreciated Gaetano.

System Overview Hardware: ODROID HC4 OS: Armbian (current version) Kernel: 6.12.44-current-meson64 Use case: Production NAS with critical data Problem Description During apt upgrade, the following critical warnings appear: dpkg: warning: This system uses merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs, going behind dpkg's dpkg: warning: back, breaking its core assumptions. This can cause silent file dpkg: warning: overwrites and disappearances System state analysis reveals: /bin, /sbin, /lib are correct symlinks to /usr/* BUT: Files exist in duplicate (/bin/bash and /usr/bin/bash identical) DKMS cannot build kernel modules (missing headers) systemd cannot set journal flags (symlink to SD card) NAS Configuration (Critical Infrastructure) Storage Setup: RAID1 with mdadm (two HDDs) + LUKS encryption /var/log relocated to SD card Filesystem: /dev/mmcblk0p1: LABEL="armbi_root" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda: TYPE="crypto_LUKS" /dev/sdb: TYPE="crypto_LUKS" /dev/mapper/sda_luks: TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/mapper/sdb_luks: TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/md0: TYPE="ext4" Reproduction $ ls -la /bin /sbin /lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 22 2024 /bin -> usr/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 22 2024 /lib -> usr/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Apr 22 2024 /sbin -> usr/sbin $ ls -la /usr/bin/bash /bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1543048 Mar 31 2024 /bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1543048 Mar 31 2024 /usr/bin/bash # DUPLICATE! Urgent Questions 1. Root Cause Analysis Has anyone experienced this specific issue with Armbian on ODROID HC4? Is this a known upgrade problem with a particular Armbian version? 2. Solution Paths Which approach do you recommend for a production NAS? A) System repair tool (is there an Armbian-specific one?) Manual cleanup - any experiences with this? C) Migration to new image - best method with LUKS+RAID? D) Install kernel headers first despite warnings? 3. Migration Strategy with LUKS How to safely migrate: LUKS configuration (keys, passphrases) mdadm RAID1 setup Samba/NFS shares and ACLs WireGuard configuration Risk Assessment Current risk: Silent data corruption possible Kernel updates may break filesystem modules System might not boot after next reboot Time pressure: NAS must remain available, but security is top priority.

Hi, I am posting this here to notify you about the serious networking performance issue on my Rockpi 4B board. Ever since I installed the Trixie release, the networking on the board has been poor/not working at all. I cannot even run an apt update If I try to connect via SSH, I get: root@rockpi:~# apt update 0% [Connected to github.armbian.com (185.199.110.153)] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers]client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset >ssh root@192.168.0.200 ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 192.168.0.206 port 22: Connection timed out I don't know where to start / what to check here. When I turn on the board, it works barely at starting, very slowly before becoming unresponsive. Technical Details: Board: Rockpi 4B Armbian version: Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.44_Rockpi-4b_trixie_current_6.12.60_minimal Boot media: 250GB M.2 PCIE SSD Old Working: Armbian_community_25.2.0-trunk.195_Rockpi-4b_bookworm_current_6.6.66_minimal This issue started only after installing the Trixie images. The bookworm image works butter smooth and flawless. I am sorry if I am cross-posting this, but I couldn't find any known related issue on this board. Thanks in advance!

See here, HW description bulletpoint 17 https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-m1s-with-4gbyte-ram/ Maybe it is also available on the 40-pins or 14-pins I/O headers, so a simple generic USB serial cable with jumper wires can be connected.

Hi, I'am Patrick from France, it is my first post on the forum. I am porting the Zortrax m200 plus 3D printer to Armbian and my last important step would be to have the LCD screen working. I cross compiled my module but I have this message when installing it: # insmod panel-himax-hx8394.ko [ 1760.189919] BPF: [120533] Invalid name_offset:2238391 [ 1760.195183] failed to validate module [panel_himax_hx8394] BTF: -22 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module panel-himax-hx8394.ko: Invalid parameters Then I added the module source code to the sources, but calling ./compile.sh seems to update the repo and revert my changes such as I do not see my module in there. The next possibility would be to create an image with the kernel headers included. I will try to compile the driver on the system. And is there another way?

Yes. We should add `pahole` as a dependency of the linux-headers package, otherwise during headers install, the `.config` is different from the image build, leading to all kinds of sad. While we might fix the future, unfortunately, installing pahole manually (and removing/re-installing the linux-headers package) is the only way forward for versions already out of the door.

This is really a strange question, Werner. fsck for filesystems like ext2/3/4 is for a purpose, no? But here you go. Normally when I install a new system, configure it to my needs and liking I make a backup image of it. To let say quickly restore after breaking the system with some "experiments" or such. Is much easier then install from scratch. As first step in this procedure i shrink the filesystem on the 1st partition which requires a fsck -f on it. Theodore's telling us to do so, he must know why 🙂 So I discovered those two images I mentioned give me filesystem errors. As there is nobody in my neighborhood messing up with Armbian, I asked here for help. If somebody could try to see if he/she reproduced my problem. Instead I was instructed what tools are recommended (by whom?) and "scolded" for using fsck. 🙂 BTW, after fsck lost+found contains several hundreds of files, most of them .c/.h from kernel source/headers. Thanks.

I grabbed the "Armbian 25.8.1 Bookworm Minimal / IOT" image from https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/, landed it on a microSD card, booted it, and ran apt update apt upgrade apt install linux-headers-current-rockchip apt install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux This gets me linux-image-current-rockchip 25.8.1 (kernel 6.12.44-current-rockchip) and a module built from zfs-dkms 2.3.2-2~bpo12+2.

Please advise what more I can tell you to be useful. I am unable to run armbianmonitor; after the above, lsmod hangs, and upon boot, the machine attempts to load zfs.ko which again crashes as above and userspace is pretty direly stuck. FWIW, I am happily running ZFS on a Tinkerboard with an older system, specifically linux-image-current-rockchip 24.11.1 (which is kernel 6.6.63-current-rockchip) and zfs-dkms 2.2.2-0ubuntu9.1.

There should be a big difference in speed and powerconsumption; As I indicated in earlier post, edge kernel has no video encoding working, so at least is is SW encode. Debian/standard ffmpeg for aarch64 only had/has v4l2m2m, no dedicated RKMPP also no old OpenMAX rpi methods (in the past). I think this works for Qualcomm SoCs, but no others I am aware of. If you use RK35xx RKMPP I see almost 5x real-time speed for 1080p50 and low CPU load.
