Jimmy Belanger Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 OrangePIPC+ with 4.9.0 kernel + systemctl removed ! Everything work well .... good job my friend... At this moment we insert armbian modded in my emmec (8GB) memory, 5800MB os with no error on format BTRFS and copying file in current progress ! Happy new years my friend !
Zoom Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 None. Anything that helps reducing load is helpful. I know you weren't talking about server load, but I wanted to ask, is there a particular reason Armbian doesn't provide magnet links for downloading images? It's pretty simple to generate them automatically (mktorrent) and it's possible to include web seeds (http sources) as well.
Igor Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 Back to topic. We finally manage to establish and test a system, which should help conduct the process of testing. First stage is to fill out as much boards as possible. You will get actual call for testing once in next 1-2 weeks and than at next release ..., when we decide to move release in its testing phase. But now we need to know who will actually step in. @jeanrhum @wildcat_paris @mrneilypops @Zammy @manuti @Nixes @Jimmy Belanger - you all were saying something in this post ... and of course anyone, that has spare board, time and wish for doing this. Already claimed:- Nanopi Neo Ideally is to cover all, but Cubieboard2, Olimex eMMC, OPi PC, Pine64, Pcduino2, Pcduino3 have some more priority since I or core crew don't have them. We need your email, nothing else. I can use the one from forum so just say: "I can test Pine64 and Odroid C2" via private message to me or @Tido or you can just announce this loud. Then you will be invited into the system via email.
zador.blood.stained Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I do have an OPi PC, so I'll try to test it if needed, though all H3 Oranges are pretty much the same and there weren't any significant changes in the legacy kernel. I would put at higher priority these boards: Pine64 (to test for any boot problems like in GH issue #502), Lamobo R1 (DSA b53 driver on mainline kernel aka GH issue #511), Orange Pi Zero (mostly for wireless situation feedback), Odroid XU4 (to confirm that ext4 support is stable in u-boot)
martinayotte Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I've OPiPC/OPiPC+/OPiPlus2E/OPiLite/OPiOne/OPiZero/Pine64/OlimexA20Micro, all of them with Mainline (I'm not interested by Legacy).

Really proud to be part of this! I have OPiOne, OPiLite and Beelink X2 with on-board Wi-Fi RTL8189ES. I think in test Beelink X2 because the OPiOne and Lite are quite popular but if at the end of this recruitment these boards are orphans I can addopt another one.
jeanrhum Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 As answered to Tido via PM, I can also test images for my board (see my signature). My priorities are pine64 legacy with desktop experience and mainline and also H3 board with mainline kernel.
zador.blood.stained Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Hm. Just noticed possible analog sound driver issues on cubietruck, can anyone please test the playback on any A20 device with mainline kernel (4.9.1)?
jeanrhum Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I made a test on my banana pro with latest beta image (4.9.0). In alsamixer, the card is labelled sun4i-codec and it does not show any pcm output, only Power Amplifier and DAC items. There is no other device listed. When testing the sound output with: speaker-test - Dplug:front -c2, like described in man page. It fails with message relating to pcm.c in Alsa lib about unknown PCM card cards.pcm.front. Without specifying front, i got missing field pcm also within pcm.c.

There is no other device listed. This is normal, it was like this before (though some widgets were renamed recently) When testing the sound output with: speaker-test - Dplug:front -c2, like described in man page. It fails with message relating to pcm.c in Alsa lib about unknown PCM card cards.pcm.front. Without specifying front, i got missing field pcm also within pcm.c. I tested it with something like "speaker-test -c 2 -D hw:0" (assuming that sun4i-codec is listed as card 0 in "aplay -l" output) and with an mpv (which worked fine before the kernel upgrade), and it hangs for a while and fails like this: ➜ ~ % LANG=en speaker-test -c 2 -D hw:0 speaker-test 1.1.2 Playback device is hw:0 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 128 to 131072 Period size range from 64 to 16384 Using max buffer size 131072 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 16384 was set buffer_size = 131072 0 - Front Left 1 - Front Right Write error: -5,Input/output error xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error Transfer failed: Input/output error ➜ ~ % I really hope it's not a clocks or DMA issue, but before I spend half a day bisecting it, I would like somebody to confirm that it's broken not only for me. Edit: nevermind, after playing some more with mixer configuration it works (apart from a channel inversion bug). So we need to supply new asound.state by default now.
tkaiser Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I added lime2emmc this way and merged opi pc and opi pc+ since they are fully back compatible without changing anything, or I am missing something? The inability to shutdown the PC correctly due to 8189fs driver crashing then? https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/3250-orange-pi-pc-cannot-boot-because-kernel-panic-not-syncing-attempted-to-kill-init/#entry22967
zador.blood.stained Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 As for previous versions, the current desktop has several bugs with gtk elements: several items within windows like checkboxes are not visible until checked. Obviously, it makes it difficult to select the corresponding items (eg: show password of the wireless connection window or other some items of the download window within firefox). I was able to reproduce this on PC2 Xenial desktop build, and looks like our custom theme NumixHolo produces this issue, so it needs to be replaced with something else.
jeanrhum Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Hi, I saw several urls referencing nightlies/test images when looking at different posts within the forum: - https://image.armbian.com/betaimages/ - https://dl.armbian.com/*boardname*/ Which one should be used? or maybe should I have to build one from my own (following the first post recommandations to use dev target)? If the second url is to be used, maybe the 1rst post of this topic should be updated to be consistent with nightly images referenced in the download page of each board.
zador.blood.stained Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 dl.armbian.com is the main archive, image.armbian.com is obsolete and will be replaced with a redirect to dl.armbian.com If you want a test image for PC2 with Docker support you should probably build one, otherwise you can use prebuilt nightlies.
Igor Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 dl.armbian.com is the main archive, image.armbian.com is obsolete and will be replaced with a redirect to dl.armbian.com done.
jeanrhum Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Modified link point to https://dl.armbian.com/betaimages/, which returns a 404 error .
Tido Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 https://dl.armbian.com/Go to your board folder and look for a greyish icon and nightly in the filename.
Igor Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 404 is now redirected to dl.armbian.com so no more errors.
Ford Prefect Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Not sure it's the right topic what about: Having the /lib/modules/ *.ko files in compressed form *.gz ? Having an initial .bash_history file with useful newbies commands like armbianmonitor -m , etc ? In fact I found by accident that some other orangePI distributions had some forgotten instructive things there. This gave me the idea
zador.blood.stained Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Having an initial .bash_history file with useful newbies commands like armbianmonitor -m , etc ? In fact I found by accident that some other orangePI distributions had some forgotten instructive things there. IMO this is useless by default, but adding Armbian-specific tips in MOTD (based on "random quote of the day" or similar plugins) may be a good idea.
Igor Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 Like this? /etc/update-motd.d/35-motd #!/bin/bash quotes="/etc/update-motd.d/armbian-quotes.txt" random_line=$(shuf -i 1-$(wc -l < $quotes) -n 1) quote=$(sed -n -e "$random_line"p $quotes) echo -e "\e[93mTip of the day:\e[39m $quote\n" 1
zador.blood.stained Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Like this? Exactly, we just need to assemble a list of board-inspecific and board-specific tips and pack them into the board support package. These can include custom commands, links to specific documentation bits or some generic tips.

ErwinH Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 The nightly releases for the sun8i boards still say kernel version 4.9.4 while the download says 4.10. Haven't checked all of the boards, but at least these are wrong: Orangepi PC Orangepi Zero
martinayotte Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Last weekend, I've built and upgraded almost all my boards (2E/PC/PC+/Zero) and they are all on 4.10 now.

rufik Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 @ArmbianCollab administrator - could you add new task with Orange PI 2 and assign it for me, please? Subtasks could be somehow standard: ethernet, wifi, shutdown, cpufreq/dvfs, etc. I'd like to make some fixes for OPI 2 (headless) in my spare time...
