  1. Hi all, I download and upgrade the new armbian, and i dont know why, but my web service on Nginx, dosnt work the json... This problem can be for the kernel upgrade? or only is the Muyphy's law? Thanks
  2. Somehow I don't get it. If I boot Armbian it never has a verbose startup. I I check the script it looks like at startup there should be a /boot/.verbose file. There is.... I don't see a env variable to get this done... So I need some help. Could anyone tell me how to get this done?
  3. If you are reading this you've probably discovered that there are a few things about the Orange Pi series of boards that can be frustrating. I know I have been.. I purchased an Orange Pi PC and two Orange Pi Ones anticipating Pi bliss at a fraction of the cost of the Raspberry equivalent. I tried, and tried hard, to load distro after distro of various linux flavors onto micro SD cards with many a blank screen or an aborted boot attempt.. Orange Pi site distros, laboris distros, Armbian distros.. nothing seemed to make a difference. Reading about power supply issues, ornery boot processes, and overscan issues I was really beginning to think this was money poorly spent, after all the boards weren't much use as intert bricks.. too small and light to make for a decent paper weight or door stop.. no practical use at all.. perhaps I could crush them with a lump hammer to derive some satisfaction for fruitless hours spent trying to get these things to work.. Then it dawned on me.. perhaps there was something to the advice I was seeing on the forum.. Out of curiosity I tried a decent USB-lithium battery pack instead of the little 5v wall wart I was using to power my Orange Pi PC and low and behold the thing booted reliably. Go figure.. all this time I was blaming the board when it was really the #$!#!@ underpowered wall-wart causing the issue.. try the OPI-One.. same deal, it booted.. try the next One.. same deal, it booted happily. I then measured the current draw during the boot process and found that the Quad core board was actually a hungry little bugger.. peaking out at almost 600ma at one point in the boot process with no accessories attached.. before settling down to around 240ma at an idle. Lesson learned: Don't cheap out on your power supply for these boards... and you've made it over the first hurdle. Next hurdle.. the damn video is overscanning my LG HDMI monitor.. no adjustment on the monitor to scale the desktop image to fit the screen size, and no easy boot config file like RPi to turn underscanning on in the linux OS. This means I can't see the menus at the top of the screen.. I didn't have this issue with the RPi.. but hey the RPi cost more, has a user base of 6 million users and a dedicated, paid software development team with 4 years under its belt. Put it in perspective.. OPI is a smaller community and it takes time to develop code and work out the kinks in a product.. so a bit of patience is in order. Thank you to the Armbian developers and testers, your efforts are appreciated. So what to do about the overscan issue.. well I happened to have an HDMI to VGA adapter with a 3.5mm audio jack output on the side.. so I added it into the mix, and lo and behold the overscan issue was dimished a great deal..not perfect, but much more usable desktop real estate. Then I tried the MPV media player with Armbian distro to play canned mp4 videos and was favorably impressed with the play quality with the built in Mali hardware graphics acceleration.. easily as good as the RPi and Omxplayer.. perhaps even with better controls in the MPV media player app.. score one for OPI.. things were looking up.. this was along way from the inert brick I owned earlier in the day. So what about the overscan issue.. yes it is annoying, but perhaps over time there will be a software fix developed to make it go away.. patience. What else to do in the mean time? Well it is likely that the OPI in you life is not the only computer you have at your disposal.. so why not VNC into your OPI..? You can set the X-window defaults to a reasonable screen size.. and have your OPI desktop arrive in a window on your other computer.. Googling RPi VNC I found xtightvncviewer and xtightvncserver install instructions.. I installed, and went with a desktop size of 1280x600 for a comfortable fitting window on my RPI desktop.. and soon had a serviceable non-overscanned OPI remote desktop from my RPI.. hooray! No hardware accelerated video through the VNC session.. but a decent desktop experience for most other pursuits. Lesson learned.. OPI software is in it's infancy, and with time and effort spent, and some temporary workarounds.. it will find many uses. If you want closer to perfection out of the box than what OPI has to offer? Pay more and benefit from a more developed product.. however, if you want to work the line a bit - between cost and functionality - perhaps you have more time than money available at the moment - don't dispair at your purchase.. persist a while before you opt for the lump hammer option.. and you may get what you need out of the RPi's clone-family with a bit of effort spent.. Good Luck.
  4. Is there a way to check for a new kernel without downloading it?
  5. I am thinking about the Over-scan on first boot issue and the problems people are having trying to log in if the login questions are off the screen bottom. I under stand it is caused by not having a lot of development into the screen size adjusting software. It is essential that the lead developers prioritize the main Armbian bugs issues and I do not consider on the fly screen resizing a major issue when a stop gap solution could possibly work. My temporary solution would simply be that all logins scripts be tripled. ie.. Login login login: password password password: Enter New Password Enter New Password Enter New Password: So even if some one cannot see all three due to over-scan they can at least understand how to get into a graphical interface by completing the first boot login procedure. Seasalt.
  6. Been trying to compile the handy sysdig util in armbian. Installed it with: apt-get install -t jessie-backports sysdig sysdig-dkms After the normal install that worked, but when running gave this error: error opening device /dev/sysdig0. Make sure you have root credentials and that the sysdig-probe module is loaded. I tried: /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start One of the compilation errors I manage to correct commenting the include of asm-offsets.h in /var/lib/dkms/sysdig/0.5.1/build/main.c I also managed to solve the complaints about the lack of fixdep with: make fixdep make bin2c However now when trying to compile it with /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start if fails with: /bin/sh: 1: scripts/mod/modpost: not found scripts/Makefile.modpost:91: recipe for target '__modpost' failed make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 127 Makefile:1387: recipe for target 'modules' failed make: *** [modules] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.1-sunxi' It seems I need to do make modules_prepare either in the linux source or headers directory.

  10. Hi, after upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie (Legacy, i followed the documentation), everything is ok, except MOTD does not show TEMP, and other data as used in Wheezy, is this a known problem and how can i get back the old MOTD? Another question im struggling setting up slovenian keyboard layout any info on that? dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration gives me an warning: root@bananapi:~# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults insserv: script ramlog.uninst: service ramlog already provided! update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults insserv: script ramlog.uninst: service ramlog already provided! Thanks, Rok
  11. Hello, My name is GNUser and as the name implies, I use GNU system For privacy and security reasons (though also some philosophical ones) I decided to run only free software on my machines. For example my laptop has Trisquel installed which is a FSF approved distro. I also use Debian a lot, with the main repository only available (other repositories might contain or suggest non-free software). My question is this: the images of armbian available here, I understand they are built on top of debian, but which kernel are they using? The kernel that Debian usually provides (for x86/64) is a debblobed kernel, with no proprietary pieces. Is that the case with these images? Also, in terms of drivers, firmware and repositories, do these include any non-free stuff? I understand a lot of people probably don't care about free vs open source, and I am fine with that. I believe we can work together anyway, and I am jsut asking so I know which pieces of software I would have to replace (if possible at all). Thanks!

  13. It's important to believe blindly in numbers! At least when you try to be mislead as much as possible! Yesterday Michael Larabel from Phoronix fired up his usual set of passive benchmarking tests for the new Raspberry Pi 3 and he still uses rather questionable results for other boards to compare with (he claims that it would be sufficient to use a board with 'factory settings', run a set of synthetic benchmarks, don't analyse the results or even think about whether they could be wrong and treat the results as the truth) RPi 3 is 4 times faster than OPi PC and 6 times faster than OPi Plus? Really? If you just try to think about these graphs for a second it's obvious that there must be something wrong: Testing Orange Pi PC and Plus individually already makes no sense at all (same SoC, same settings --> same performance results to be expected) and publishing results that vary that much is alarming: either your benchmark must be wrong or the conditions or the tester. If you just think a second it's obvious that Orange Pi PC and Plus have to be faster than Banana Pi M2 (also an Allwinner ARMv7 SoC clocked a bit slower) and that you should drop any results if you experience a difference of more than 10% between both boards that must perform identical. So I took our Armbian 5.05 release candidate and tested 2 of Phoronix' benchmarks on an H3 based Orange Pi (and then stopped this waste of time): C-Ray: 340 with Armbian vs. 1425 according to Phoronix. Using Armbian increased the performance by over 400% (if you're dumb enough to rely on 'benchmarking gone wrong') John the Ripper: 558 with Armbian vs. 315 according to Phoronix. Using Armbian increased the performance by 77% (if you're dumb enough to rely on 'benchmarking gone wrong') Confusing! Why is Armbian way faster?! And why does choosing Armbian speeds up your Orange Pi in one case over 4 times and in the other case just by 77%? Let's have a closer look: How does Armbian differ: We are able to use 1.3GHz as CPU clockspeed (might speed things up) For reliability reasons we clock the DRAM lower (might slow things down) Most importantly: We don't use braindead thermal throttling settings (and I used a heatsink/fan) And the latter is the most important issue that Michael Larabel seems to miss at all when he uses the 'benchmark' results he collected sometimes ago to compare between different hardware. It's 2016 now! Each and every more recent SoC is a throttling candidate. This has to be taken into account if you want to benchmark a SoC or a board. If you ignore this your results are plain bullshit (just like Michael's). When he tried to 'benchmark' Orange Pi PC and Plus he obviously ran into the problem that the vendor's budget cooling settings favoured killing CPU cores instead of thermal throttling so he obviously ended up with just one active CPU core left after some time of testing. And while this was an important finding (OS images for Orange Pis all crap more or less back then and negatively influencing performance) it's also important that this is nothing the hardware has to be blamed for. The very same board running with Armbian performs more than four times faster! Think about. So obviously the benchmarks Phoronix recommends do not test the hardware but something else instead. To be clear: the Phoronix test suite is fantastic when used correctly. That means ACTIVE BENCHMARKING and not collecting meaningless numbers and then relying on these worthless numbers to draw the wrong conclusions. When using the Phoronix test suite correctly you can identify performance bottlenecks and boundary conditions that affect performance easily (wrong cpufreq governor, killed CPU cores, thermal throttling, wrong settings, whatever). And also what to do to increase performance (tweaking compiler/scheduler settings, constantly trying out to optimise things until it works better). The worst thing you could do with the Phoronix test suite is to collect numbers without meaning (passive benchmarking) and then use them to draw the wrong conclusions (that's what most of Phoronix' users including the author of the test suite do all the times). Back to the origin again: We started with the Raspberry Pi 3 and 'benchmarking gone wrong' the Phoronix way. You really should take the numbers Michael/Phoronix published with a grain of salt since he neither mentioned whether throttling happened nor he commented on the consequences for the RPi 3 if the RPi foundation understands that it's necessary to provide a Raspbian version that is ARMv8 optimised. The RPi foundation claimed the new RPi 3 would outperform the RPi 2 by 50% using questionable sysbench results. If they would've optimised their Raspbian code base for ARMv8 they could claim the RPi 3 would be at least 15 times faster. Why? Because benchmarks are always wrong and using sysbench (that calculates prime numbers) can't be used any more to compare between different ARM architectures (or architectures in general): http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=19158(I'm really curious whether Phoronix gets that when 'benchmarking' ODROID C2) TL;DR: Benchmarking is fine as long as you use it to optimise software and to rule out insufficient hardware. When used wrong it's misleading (unfortunately that happens most of the time)
  14. How do I copy sdcard image to nand . I tried to use the ./nand-sata-install script and it returns the following message " There are no targets. Please check your drives. "
  15. I have been running the 5.03 image provided, and it works amazingly, many thanks to igorpec and tkaiser. Now that the 5.04 image is ready, is there an easy way (via ssh?) to update my system? Obviously I could copy the image to an sd card and run it that way, but the system is running so well (on external hard drive and running plex server) that I'm reluctant to upset it all. Many thanks

  20. Hello, My problem is that curl tries to use ipv6 to resolve DNS entries and my home modem-router doesn't handle ipv6 so curl fails and fallbacks to ipv4. The process lasts 10 to 15 seconds because of this. For example (38s - 23s = 15s to resolve hostname): $ curl -v --trace-time https://api.owncloud.com 15:53:23.053958 * Rebuilt URL to: https://api.owncloud.com/ 15:53:23.055233 * Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache 15:53:38.583565 * Trying 85.25.74.45... 15:53:38.803420 * Connected to api.owncloud.com (85.25.74.45) port 443 (#0) And if I add '-4' option (only a few milliseconds): $ curl -4 -v --trace-time https://api.owncloud.com 15:54:43.543512 * Rebuilt URL to: https://api.owncloud.com/ 15:54:43.544649 * Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache 15:54:43.574628 * Trying 85.25.74.45... 15:54:43.792575 * Connected to api.owncloud.com (85.25.74.45) port 443 (#0) I try to make curl use ipv4 by default. I changed /etc/gai.conf and uncommented this line: precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 But it seems that it is ignored. So I tried to completely disable ipv6 protocol. I added to /etc/sysctl.conf these lines: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1 After reboot, same thing. Then I blacklisted ipv6 in a brand new /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file: blacklist ipv6 After reboot, same issue. I deleted all entries in /etc/hosts file relative to ipv6 address. After reboot, same issue. A method consists in disabling ipv6 with /etc/default/grub, but does Armbian uses grub ? update-grub command is not recognized. Though, it seems that ipv6 is really disabled: $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 1 $ man -k ipv6 | egrep gai | wc -l 0 $ cat /proc/net/if_inet6 (returns nothing) $ route -A inet Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default sagembox.home 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.24.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 $ route -A inet6 Kernel IPv6 routing table Destination Next Hop Flag Met Ref Use If ::/0 :: !n -1 1 63 lo ::/0 :: !n -1 1 63 lo I still have ipv6 connections: $ netstat -tupvnl | grep -e 'tcp6\|udp6' tcp6 0 0 :::41921 :::* LISTEN 1575/rpc.mountd tcp6 0 0 :::2049 :::* LISTEN - tcp6 0 0 :::37346 :::* LISTEN 1575/rpc.mountd tcp6 0 0 :::33253 :::* LISTEN - tcp6 0 0 :::58245 :::* LISTEN 1147/rpc.statd tcp6 0 0 :::139 :::* LISTEN 2567/smbd tcp6 0 0 :::111 :::* LISTEN 1119/rpcbind tcp6 0 0 :::44438 :::* LISTEN 1575/rpc.mountd tcp6 0 0 :::445 :::* LISTEN 2567/smbd udp6 0 0 :::52456 :::* 1575/rpc.mountd udp6 0 0 :::50925 :::* 1575/rpc.mountd udp6 0 0 :::31549 :::* 1062/dhclient udp6 0 0 :::870 :::* 1119/rpcbind udp6 0 0 :::2049 :::* - udp6 0 0 :::39428 :::* 1147/rpc.statd udp6 0 0 :::111 :::* 1119/rpcbind udp6 0 0 :::123 :::* 2108/ntpd udp6 0 0 :::42127 :::* 1575/rpc.mountd udp6 0 0 :::42153 :::* - I can't find a way to make curl using ipv4 DNS resolving only...

  23. Allwinner video HW decoding on A10/A20 using VDPAU and GLES zero-copy support for Linux There is (unofficial) support available for video HW decoding and embedding the video zero-copy via GLES within Kodi using libvdpau-sunxi and VDPAU, i.e. unlike the kodi support from rella/empatzero/others the GLES layering (video overlays) do work completely in this implementation. Additionally my driver implementation supports DivX/XVID/MS-MPEG and has sprite support for MPEG-4 over the official libvdpau-sunxi implementation. Additionally there is HW JPEG decoding support available in Kodi too, e.g. watching photos these get decoded via the Allwinner HW. (unluckily pic thumbnails are still done via software, since HW JPEG encoding is not supported yet) There are some precoditions/"what-you-should-know" for this stream: it is still a POC although it works quite well (for me) this implementation is intended for a set-top box, i.e. it uses only the framebuffer and not X. But can probably be improved to support X and Kodi within a window as well. Mali OpenGL driver is used in version Linux-r3p0-04rel0 it has quite a lot of dependencies and requirements to/from other software it needs to be compiled by each and someone else who wants to use it, due to all of of dependencies It has been tested on Allwinner A10/A20 only (A20 has still a little problem of tearing when playing videos) The dependencies are: Sunxi-kernel kernel extension for the UMP module (add CMA support) https://github.com/mosterta/linux-sunxi/tree/ump_sunxi-3.4-it needs an updated libUMP since some extensions are necessary: https://github.com/mosterta/libump it needs a special version of libvdpau (due to extension for DivX/XVID/MPEG4 sprite support) https://github.com/mosterta/libvdpau it needs a special version of libvdpau-sunxi (due to using UMP + support for more video formats) https://github.com/mosterta/libvdpau-sunxi it needs my version of kodi sources, still based on Kodi 14.2 (Helix) https://github.com/mosterta/xbmc/tree/helix_allwinner_gles_support for HW JPEG support in Kodi, which is optionally (it requires a compiled and installed libvdpau-sunxi): https://github.com/mosterta/libcedarjpeg it needs a patched version of ffmpeg, the patch gets applied during kodi build. Kernel build: unfortunately there are different streams of the kernel depending on the board (e.g. bananapi/lemaker have their own stream). Therefore you need to apply these hashes/patches if you don't use my sunxi-3.4 kernel: https://github.com/mosterta/linux-sunxi/commit/563e0154269acffaa36ec3b678e4b35cbf7ee1c0 https://github.com/mosterta/linux-sunxi/commit/67de2b9320eeb1fe205d29a49742919c1613da68 Additionlly in the kernel .config file the following options need to be set: ---------------------------------- CONFIG_CMA=y # CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is not set # # Default contiguous memory area size: # CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=192 CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_MBYTES=y # CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_PERCENTAGE is not set # CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_MIN is not set # CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_SEL_MAX is not set CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT=8 CONFIG_CMA_AREAS=7 ------------------------------------ CMA size can be reduced, but it does not really hurt, since the memory is only allocated when required. libump build: this is straight forward configure; make;make install libvdpau build: DRI2 must not be used: configure --disable-dri2; make; make install libvdpau-sunxi build: make; make install will install the libs to /usr/lib and /usr/lib/vdpau libcedarJpeg build (optionally): make; make install kodi build: ./configure --config-cache --prefix=/usr/local --disable-x11 --disable-sdl --disable-xrandr --disable-joystick --disable-gl --enable-vdpau --disable-vaapi --disable-openmax --enable-neon --enable-gles --disable-mysql --disable-airplay --disable-airtunes --enable-debug --disable-optimizations --with-ffmpeg=force --with-platform=allwinner-mali Afterwards Kodi shall be able to HW decode whatever videos libvdpau-sunxi supports.

  24. Hi everyone, after getting Igor's image for Jessie with kernel 3.4.109 on January 10th, I did an upgrade and now I get: uname -a Linux cubieVDR 3.4.110-sun7i #10 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 28 11:48:43 CET 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux However, unfortunately I also get modprobe bcmdhd modprobe: FATAL: Module bcmdhd not found. According to http://www.armbian.com/documentation/, it does not say anything about having to do something special to obtain the module in the section called "How to set wireless access point?". Also, on another machine running kernel 3.4.108, everything is working fine (see my post in this forum). What do I need to do to get the AP working? Cheers, chessplayer
  25. Hi, my installed version is about a year old at least...so I'd like to upgrade without loosing settings and data. Is this possible? If yes, how?
