Aside from the DNS resolution issue I am having (different thread), I am often getting stuck on the following: Unpacking locales (from .../locales_2.13-38+deb7u8_all.deb) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up locales (2.13-38+deb7u8) ... Generating locales (this might take a while)... Generation complete. Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete.​ It just sits there and nothing further happens. I have left it for 30 minutes or more, and still nothing. I usually end up killing it... rebooting and then restarting. When it does get past this, I typically end up with the debian sources DNS resolution issue which I documented on a different thread. Any idea what is causing it to get stuck here? I am wondering if this is somehow related to the DNS resolution issue I am having as well. These problems only started occurring over the last couple days... I never had an issue with image generation before that. I did update to the latest libs a while ago, so I am not sure if something changed that is now contributing to this. Thanks.

Hello Igor, I am using vanilla 4.4 for labomo-r1 it seems zram module is missing. Do you intend to compile the kernel with this option, please? gr@bpi:~$ sudo modprobe -Rf zram modprobe: FATAL: Module zram not found. On raspbian, kernel 3.18.x-4.1.x, there is a kernel module "zram" useful for embedded systems... working fine (also using on my x86 laptop) https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Zram Nice week-end, Regards, Guillaume

Hello! I have installed Igors Debian Wheezy Kernel 3.4.108 image on SD-Card for my BananaPi Pro. All is fine, thanks Igor!

dear All. I need CAN-BUS on my cubie2. I Found that I can reach it via PH20-PH21 Mux-4 and fortunately they are maped to extention port. So I made FEX modification like : [can_para] can_used = 1 can_tx = port:PH20<4><default><default><default> can_rx = port:PH21<4><default><default><default> Currently my board run with --> 3.4.107-cubietruck I found a banananian guy post ( http://www.lemaker.org/thread-13107-1-1.html ) a tutorial on how he make it for his BananaPI board. I tried to follow his step, but skip steps about uImage and firmware .. since I don't know how to adapt it to Armbian. when the proses complete, reboot ... I got /dev/can0 as expected but dmesg say alot of error about can4linux. I post error messages on pastebin --> http://pastebin.com/qp5Gnvj7 Kindly please give me any enlightenment to fix the problem. Sincerely -bino-

I want to use debian wheezy for Olimex A20-micro. Please let me know whether it supports recording from microphone connector and audio out to headphone connector on board.Does there any audio breaking issues with this image or any other debian image. How to install it on Nand Memory of A20-micro board.

Hi, Firstly, congratulations for your amazing work… it's impressive. I have a question regarding the SD image for A10 Lime (Linux 4.x)… Can I enable a raw serial device on /dev/ttyS1 which will use the uart0 of the FEX file? If I understand the FEX documentation, the FEX is no longer used on this kind of image, in favor of DTB files. So, how can I manage to modify the DTB file in order to customize my uart settings ? And, finally, how can I obtain a raw serial device on /dev/ttyS1 which will use it ? Regards, Anthony.

Hi Igor, I grabbed your 4.1 image, flashed it onto the microsd Card and boot the cubietruck. However, I received the message from my display: Out of specification: 67.5kHz / 60 Hz. The first boot is ok, but after starting the kernel the screen turns black and above mentioned message apears. This happens on the analouge (VGA) input and on the digital input (DVI) as well. How to fix the problem?? I never had any display problems with all your images. never! This is the first time. I might to use your 4.0 image to return into operation again. regards, hitam4450

Hi Igor, I encountered an issue on Bananapi with kernel 4.2 using your latest SDK: A reboot or powercycle will fail with getting eth0 up and running (no IP address). I tried these both combinations: u-boot: 2015.04 + kernel: 4.2 u-boot: 2015.07 + kernel: 4.2 dmesg delivers: [ 13.387092] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet: no reset control found [ 13.394879] Ring mode enabled [ 13.402647] No HW DMA feature register supported [ 13.402814] Normal descriptors [ 13.418061] TX Checksum insertion supported [ 13.498887] libphy: PHY stmmac-0:ffffffff not found [ 13.507177] eth0: Could not attach to PHY [ 13.515283] stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) [ 13.615876] libphy: stmmac: probed [ 13.623515] eth0: PHY ID 001cc915 at 0 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:00) active [ 13.631591] eth0: PHY ID 001cc915 at 1 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:01) [ 98.534925] nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (15937 buckets, 63748 max) Don't know if eth0 interface received a new code base.

hello, thank you for your image for olimex A10 it's perfect on sd card but i want put in the sata drive i start command ./nand-sata-install and when finish , reboot but reboot , reboot , reboot , etc.... i not understand can you help , thank you

As soon as I installed the latest version of the Wheezy I have found that there is some problem with an USB. When I start my Orange PI I can see that USB devices are power supplied from the bus only first a few seconds (when the bootloader is active I guess) and then being switched off. When I plug an USB device and supply it externally then it seems to be working well. My question is: how to switch on power supply of the USB port on my Orange PI? I have read a number of linux forums and found nothing. Very promising seems a command echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/level or similar but unfortunately it has no effect. Any hint, guys? Thanks a lot. Radek

How can I disable the auto login as the root user in the cubietruck ubuntu (XFCE)? That does not sound a good idea. How could I auto login with a different user? The GUI settings editor "display chooser" inside Session Startup doesnt work. I've been looking around how to do that, but in this case I cant find the config file which was supposed to be inside /etc/lightdm/ Thanks and congratulations for your work.

I just reinstalled my Cubietruck with the Debian jessie, image from http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Cubietruck_Debian_4.1_jessie_3.4.108.zip. Only one core is available. What could I do so that the two cores are detected? For what it's worth, the bootloader briefly displays a "checksum error" message. Could it be that I'm still using the old bootloader from the previous installation? (It was Debian wheezy in summer 2014.) Thanks in advance for advice.

Hi, I successfully installed owncloud on the Cubietruck. Because of owncloud, I decided to give jessie a try, since there are more packages I need already included. Got all that working. Now, I wanted to make the Cubietruck into a wireless AP following the instructions in the FAQ on Igor's blog. However, i am getting nowhere. After boot, hostapd seems to be running: ps -elf | grep hostapd 1 S root 677 1 0 80 0 - 1040 poll_s 18:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/hostapd -B -P /run/hostapd.pid /etc/hostapd.conf However, the SSID is not picked up by any client, so it seems as if it is not braodcast. However, it is not hidden either, since I cannot add the network. When I try to restart the service, I get no output from it (where ist should give some the way I understand the init script). The service is stopped afterwards, but it is not running anymore. I can do: service hostapd status ◠hostapd.service - LSB: Advanced IEEE 802.11 management daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/hostapd) Active: active (exited) since Wed 2015-08-05 18:54:43 CEST; 10min ago Process: 1114 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/hostapd stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1117 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/hostapd start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Aug 05 18:54:43 cubietruck hostapd[1117]: Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapd. Aug 05 18:54:43 cubietruck systemd[1]: Started LSB: Advanced IEEE 802.11 management daemon. Aug 05 19:03:10 cubietruck systemd[1]: Started LSB: Advanced IEEE 802.11 management daemon. Ergo: it stays exited (whereas, when I stop the service and then start it again, it says "running" istead of exited). So, I try the following by hand: hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf nl80211: Could not re-add multicast membership for vendor events: -2 (No such file or directory) Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr <somaddress> and ssid "myssid" wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED wlan0: AP-ENABLED ^Cwlan0: interface state ENABLED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 So, it is doing something (until I kill it using <CTRL>+<C>), but what?. The SSID still isn't available, though. Also, according to this, the kernel module must be in op_mode 2: modprobe bcmdhd op_mode=2 This does not change anything, however. Finally, here is my hostapd.conf: ssid=myssid interface=wlan0 hw_mode=g channel=8 driver=nl80211 bridge=br0 logger_syslog=0 logger_syslog_level=0 wmm_enabled=1 ieee80211n=1 wpa=2 preamble=1 wpa_passphrase=mypassphrase wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP auth_algs=1 macaddr_acl=0 noscan=1 ## SSID verheimlichen # 0 = sichtbar # 1 = Sende leere SSID und ignoriere Anfragen die die SSID nicht enthalten # 2 = Sende leere SSID, aber setze die Länge nicht auf 0, sondern genau auf die # Länge der SSID (einige Clients brauchen das.) ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 #ht_capab=[HT40-][SHORT-GI-40][SHORT-GI-40][DSSS_CCK-40] #country_code=SI #ieee80211d=1 Any ideas?
