tonny Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 @balbes150, I want to use my X96 mini for wireless direct printer server (for printing directly to /dev/usb/lp[x]). how could I enable printer with Armbian 5.44 kernel 3.14.19? With Armbian 5.76 kernel 4.19 it automatically detect my printer when I connect the printer and set the resource id: /dev/usb/lp0. With 3.14.19 it didn't do that. dmseg | tail shows that the printer's detected, but no device resource id link created in /dev/usb/. What gone wrong? Do kernel 3.14.19 not having printer driver included or what? What should I do to enable the printer. Thanks.
NeoFrontier Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I am running this image Armbian_5.82_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_next_5.1.0-rc6-next-20190426-g3ddfa8af5-dirty_desktop.img on my x96mini tvbox. I am booting from an SD card. I would like to mount the internal storage of the tv box. But mount /dev/system or /dev/data reports that there is not such block device. Can some please tell me how to mount the internal storage ?

Kernel 3.14 is no longer supported, if you need to add something to it, you will have to build your own version.

Maybe it's more interesting to take an image from this one: You mainly have to check if ethernet or wifi are working for your box with kernel 4.xx images. Ethernet is often working well on the contrary to wifi, but it depends of your needs.

Yes I did, thank you for your answer In folder 5.87 on Yandex there are ubuntu bionic "default desktop" and "default". "default" is it the server one ?
jeanrhum Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 2 hours ago, Frisk said: "default" is it the server one ? Yes and even if you use these server images you can easily install the desktop environment using armbian-config command-line tool (some specific packages for mali graphics better support may be used and downloaded from Balbes repo, but I never tested them).

Great, thank you. I'm gonna try a lan minecraft bedrock server on it for me and my son. First linux setup, I hope it will be fine Here the tutorial I will try to apply for those interested : https://jamesachambers.com/minecraft-bedrock-edition-ubuntu-dedicated-server-guide/ Cheers
Carles Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Hi, everyone. I've got a X96 Mini 2gb 16gb. Is there a recommended image for this box? One where everything works out of the box? or the most compatible one? I've been able to run Armbian_5.34_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.9.40_mate_20171112 using p212, but no WIFI. Any recommended image? If it works fine I would move to installing it on internal memory. Thank you very much.

You need to do the following: ln -s /lib/firmware /usr/lib/firmware modprobe ssv6051 add ssv6051 in /etc/modules reboot Could you be a bit mmore specific? I've tried it using sudo because it requires permission. In the last step, if I enter "add ssv6051 in /etc/modules" I get an eeror indicating that the command doesn't exist. When I follow your instructions WIFI works, but on reboot it is not detected anymore. I tried image armbian bionib beaver 3.14 20180729 Thank you very much. EDIT: I have just found what the problem was. With your permission and pisach's, I will detail your instructions a bit more to help noobies like me. At least, in my case, sudo was required. So it was left like this: sudo ln -s /lib/firmware /usr/lib/firmware sudo modprobe ssv6051 And in the case of the instruction "add ssv6051 in /etc/modules" we also need to use the terminal to browse and get to /etc where we will find a file named ""modules", which we need to open and include ssv6051. By using the terminal we will get to /etc and use sudo geany modules to edit it and add the new info. I hope it is useful for other noobies like me.
Carles Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I haver seen the ssv6051 fix in the download section, but I can't install it in the terminal. I don't know how. Any help, please? EDIT: I have already fixed the wifi issue, but I still do not know how to install new software which is not in synaptics. I mean deb files. Any ideas? Thanks.

ropod7 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Hi, I've got the login request in 5.88 from 20190604, ...0530 and ...0529 on my Mecool. But no USB ports found and I can't connect over ssh, because firewall restricted and no any ports opened while scan by nmap. Any suggestions? Is it regular issue with USB devices? The latest versions of kernel without result. Update: Probably issue with ssh is my local network issue. Update: Works great over ssh. Installing Gentoo using armbian. )
kryolite Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 balbes150, thanks you a lot, especially for your patience that you demonstrate answering user's questions (wich sometimes seems are not adequate) I want to share my successful experience with my TV Box - Mini M8S II (p212 motherboard and amlogic905X). I turned it into Nextcloud Server/Storage with armbian/ubuntu on internal eMMC. 1. tv box no need dual-booting, it boots automatically in order: USB - SD card - eMMC. 2. i used latest images Armbian_5.88_Aml-s905_Ubuntu_bionic_default_5.1.0_20190607.img 3. i backed up eMMC 4. i flashed eMMC with 'su-' --> './install.sh' painlessly whithout errors. And 1st boot was successful. 5. SSH become lagging. Im using LAN and decide turn off wi-fi totally. /etc/network/interfaces uncomment wireless-mode Managed wireless-power off And lags/freezing went away. The speed and reaction from eMMC is much better than SDcard (even 10 class)! Spasibo eshe raz, balbes150. 1

The Gentoo over the your Armbian kernel load system also has been built. Good job balbes150 (nikname mismatch to it if we read russian transliteration [smile]). The next question is: how to make uInitrd files for the kernel? There is a lot of drivers that we do not need to serve at microserver side. eg: sound, bt, wireless. Need to rebuild network system for iptables etc. Thx

Laurynas Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Hi, got Mecool M8s Pro w uname -r 5.1.0-aml-s905 My wifi is not working, and after reading some forums i found out, that should modprobe ssv6051 modprobe: FATAL: Module ssv6051 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.1.0-aml-s905 but as i can see, that this kernel doesnt have this module. Could anyone assist on fixing it? Thanks
ropod7 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I've found proper dts in your kernel repo for s912 with 3gig of ram named *s912*. balbes150, may you push them to your Armbian builds? Would be better. I will try to rebuild kernel-5.1.9 with your dts files. On the 5.1.0 works great, USB etc and dmesg output near of complete and clean (without many modules and drivers [smile]). dtbs-s912.tar
