Damn Rockchip.

I have no issues (except PCI timeouts) with this:

ClearfogPro and Helios4 images are working ok. ClearfogBase I expect to do the same (not explicitly tested).

@TheLinuxBug one improvement for the testing form would be a checkbox for "does not apply" on the feature section. My boards don't have wireless but no options really matches

I agree, this would be good.

Station m3 - work

by the way, on the page of the testing form, there is no Station M3 model in the list.

I will check into this and get it updated. Once updated I will let you know so you can submit the form.

Cheers!

@balbes150Okay, station-m3 has now been added to the form. Please fill it out when you have a chance.

Thanks!

Alternatively, a suggestion for the testing process. It is preferable to use the version with DE (XFCE - as officially recommended) for tests by maintainers. If the DE version works, then the Cli version will also work. I ran into a problem on Station M1 - last time I checked the Cli version and fixed the problems that were there, and did not immediately notice that there was a problem with DE (there is no startup due to the use of packages from the ppa). It looks like this is a common problem with the legacy kernel - DE does not work (does not start) due to the use of the 3D group as part of the image). Disabling the repository and updating the system (with reinstalling the xorg component) restores the DE startup.

balbes150 · November 29, 2022

A problem with APT has been detected. vscodium sources do not work, and you have to disable them in apt-source.

balbes150 · November 29, 2022

I'm not sure. it's either a bug or it's planned that way. But after changing the ROOT password at the first step of the settings wizard (at the first start it asks for a new password, and confirmation, everything goes without errors), the primary password 1234 remains in the system. Is that how it 's meant to be ?

I guess not.

Maybe related:

balbes150 · November 29, 2022

Removing packages from this PPA shit, restores DE startup. This repository is more trouble than it's worth. I propose to exclude him from all official images. For those who want to use it, let them install it themselves manually and take full responsibility.

This seems to fix it.

Okay, I have added a "Does Not Apply' checkbox to the form for all questions so you can choose this if it isn't applicable to the board being tested.

Cheers!

Check if something important is missing from the docs - if you have added pull requests to the Github without a Jira ticket, then its missing from the list. Please add now!
