SteeMan Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 What build did you download from the armbian servers? I assume you are looking for a desktop build, it looks like you installed a server/command line build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario663 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Yes you are right I downloaded the minimal sid because I saw that the xfce occupies more than 8GB from etcher to be able to install it in the emmc Edited December 23, 2022 by Mario663 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario663 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yes, I have to see how much the penultimate release takes up....if it takes up less than 8 gb then I can install it on the emmc....what is the penultimate release if 20.10!?

Mario663 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) or is there some other version!? Edited December 24, 2022 by Mario663 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Have you run the desktop version from SD card? No reason to worry about emmc install if the performance isn't going to meet your needs. I personally find the performance on most TV boxes to be too slow for real use desktop use. They in my opinion are best for usage as servers.

SteeMan Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Also have you tried installing the desktop build on emmc? It should work. You shouldn't care what size it takes on the SD card, as that doesn't impact how it is installed on emmc. Most of the space on the SD card is unused empty space.

Mario663 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Ah so even if etcher requires 8 gb then in the emmc I can install it anyway!? ok then as soon as i have some time i redownload the xfce and burn it to sd....i will always have to use your extlinux.conf file right? keep in mind that now on the emmc I have Armbian version 5.88 pre-installed!

SteeMan Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Can you help even a little bit. How about you start with telling what you have done? Give context to the screen shot. Showing a random screen shot is of no help. List the exact steps you have done, and what you are trying to do. Also you need to answer my questions when I ask, if you want help. You still haven't answered the question I asked if you have successfully tested running the desktop build from the SD card? Because you were able to run the cli version from sd only based on prior reports. I've taken hours of my time to help you. You need to try harder to make it easier to help you.

Mario663 Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Dude I'm doing everything you tell me, I'm trying to explain everything I've done, I downloaded the xfce kinetic with whale etcher I burned it on an sd then I downloaded your extlinux.conf file and replaced it with what's inside...then i changed the u-boot 905X 912 file to u-boot.ext i inserted the sd into the tv-box slot and it stuck on the photo screen!

SteeMan Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 One thought I have for you to try is to go back to the clu version, and use armbian-config to install/enable desktop support on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Also going back to a very basic question. What do you intend to use the TV box for? Why do you even want to use the desktop version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario663 Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 As already said in the first post, I've already managed to install 5.88 in the emmc, this too would be fine, only that it annoys me to press x at startup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario663 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Ok I burned the Armbian_20.05.6_Arm-64_bullseye_current_5.7.2_desktop_20200612.img.xz but this image still uses the old method with the .deb file I tried the following .deb files renaming them to deb.img but none make me boot still on the arc64 s905x screen! meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb meson-gxl-s905x-khadas-vim.dtb meson-gxbb-vega-s95-meta.dtb meson-gxbb-p200.dtb meson-gxbb-p201.dtb I am attaching my uEnv.txt configuration uEnv.txt armbian_first_run.txt.template Edited December 27, 2022 by Mario663 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirake Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I identified the reason why the box didn't start after the upgrade. At first when I wrote the image on the card, I used (meson-gxm-q200-mod.dtb) and it detected bluetooth with this dtb. After the upgrade the dtb was changed - the one without mode, respectively (meson-gxm-q200.dtb) and it no longer corresponded to the one written in extlinux.conf and the bluetooth was no longer connected either.
