Can not activate eth0

[armybee]

Hey!

I have Lime2-Server from olimex here and get no internet connection.

I configured eth0 via nmtui and tried to activate it, but I get: "could not activate connection: the device could not be readied for configuration".

 

Any idea or known issue?

 

best regards

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

 

At a minimum what build have you installed?

[armybee]

this build: https://ftp.olimex.com/Allwinner_Images/A20-OLinuXino/1.latest_mainline_images/buster/images/

 

I think, you mean

armbianmonitor -U

it show me VERY MUCH info

what should I search for?

Is 4 years old build we never made and has nothing to do with us.

This is how you verify if this is genuine Armbian software. If it is not, you are asking for help at wrong location.

 

Images from https://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2-emmc/ were tested on HW revision we have in the test lab, but we don't follow possible phy changes on boards. This is in the domain of board vendor.

I already thought, that it must have something to do with the image, which olimex offers on there website.

Don't understand, why they offer such out of date image.

Support did not help me with this problem.

 

So should I just install the image for the lime2-server from here? https://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2-emmc/

But just the non eMMC version, because I run it on the SSD.

This is something I can't answer.

I'll try it with the direct armbian image. Thanks!

So I installed jammy minimal for Lime2 and get the same result.

Can not activate the eth0 and get "could not activate connection: the device could not be readied for configuration".

Also i get
