cw73 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Hello, I am running a Cubietruck with Armbian 21.08 Buster. I wonder if this can be upgraded to 22.02. The usual apt update apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade does not install any new packages. However I see e.g. the deb files for the kernel are existing in http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-5.15.25-sunxi/ and also http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/dists/buster/main/binary-armhf/Packages contains the new packages. The kernel is NOT set to freeze in armbian-config. Also that tool does not offer the new 20.02 packages. I seem to overlook something here. What prevents the installation (my apt skill are obviously limited...). Thanks & regards, Christoph

If I understand correctly, each time it will update from a different repo. I did this today and at the 3rd repo (imola.... something) new packages showed up. Though I did not start the upgrade yet. If you upgrade, let us know how it went.
cw73 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 Thanks lampra! I made a slide change in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list: #deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/ buster main buster-utils buster-desktop deb http://apt.armbian.com/region/EU/ buster main buster-utils buster-desktop christoph@bert:~$ The 2nd time I run apt-get update new 22.02 kernel files were picked up. I was brave and went for it: . The welcome message still says "Armbian 21.05.6 Buster" but that was stuck also before. Kernel packages got successfully updated as you see, So far everything works, but do not have any fancy things connected. BTW, I have also a Cubieboard2. Here the same trick worked and it is now on Armbian 22.02 Focal Cheers!

cw73 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 I guess the version number in the welcome message gets somehow filled from the VERSION variable set in /etc/armbian-release. Since it read "# PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" in the very first line, I did not attempt to mess around with it. It's however like you say, the wrong version number there appears not harm (at least not that I noticed besides from the misleading login message)
rgala Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Today I upgraded my Cubietruck running Ubuntu Bionic to 22.02 but after a reboot it could not load any modules. Each module load attempt ended in „exec format error”. I went back to 21.08 version for now. What could be wrong with 22.02?
lampra Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 For the welcome message, If this is an updated old installation (like mine from 2016) IIRW, you might need to manually uninstall an armbian package and reinstall it. What is the output of dpkg -l | grep -i armbian mine is below, and the welcome message is correct: root@cubietruck:~# dpkg -l | grep -i armbian hi armbian-bsp-cli-cubietruck 21.08.2 armhf Tweaks for Armbian bullseye on cubietruck ii armbian-config 21.11.0-trunk.85 all Armbian configuration utility hi armbian-firmware-full 21.08.6 all Linux firmware-full ii hostapd 3:2.9-102~armbian21.05.1+1 armhf IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator ii htop 3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1 armhf interactive processes viewer ii linux-libc-dev:armhf 21.08.6 armhf Armbian Linux support headers for userspace development
cw73 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 Here we go: christoph@bert:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i armbian ii armbian-bsp-cli-cubietruck 21.05.6 armhf Tweaks for Armbian buster on cubietruck ii armbian-config 21.11.0-trunk.85 all Armbian configuration utility ii armbian-firmware 21.08.6 all Linux firmware ii hostapd 3:2.9-102~armbian21.11.0-trunk+1 armhf IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator ii htop 3.1.0-0~armbian20.08.2+1 armhf interactive processes viewer ii linux-dtb-current-sunxi 22.02.1 armhf Armbian Linux DTB, version 5.15.25-sunxi current ii linux-image-current-sunxi 22.02.1 armhf Linux kernel, armbian version 5.15.25-sunxi current ii linux-libc-dev:armhf 22.02.1 armhf Armbian Linux support headers for userspace developmen It looks that armbian-bsp-cli-cubietruck is still on an older version. Is it "safe" to re-install it? If yes, how?

lampra Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 I just noticed that you seem to be on "Buster" not on "Bullseye", so the message is probably correct. You only upgraded the kernel

You only upgraded the kernel Correct. I might want to try the update from Buster to Bulleseye in a separate step. (I know it is not officially supported). However I am rather scared to remove and re-install the BSP. I do not see it in the repository any more (despite apt-cache search returns something).

I had to do this after an upgrade on a running system. Turns out nothing scary happened.
