hi-ko Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Sorry, if this is not odroid specific but I don't know if this issue is a armbian generic one: I guess also in armbian running apt update && apt upgrade is the correct way to install updates? When I run that from a Armbian 23.02.2 system I will get a Ubuntu 22.04 afterwards. before: cat /etc/issue Armbian 23.02.2 Jammy \l after: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy Similar question: What is the intended way to do an armbian upgrade? I did not find any hint in the documentation. In my current use case installing all from scratch would not be a big issue since I use the odroid to run lxd containers on a separate disk but if someone installs and configures a lot of software a fresh reinstall is maybe a big task.

Werner Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 That is just a cosmetic issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi-ko Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Thanks @Werner, I understand that this has no real "hard" effects and it's caused by using the ubuntu apt sources. I think the armbian version should better not be written into the distro specific release files, but into an independant armbian file (which needs to be introduced ...). Do you also have a hint for the upgrades? Since I installed the ubuntu (Jammy) variant I guess there will no upgrade somewhen later since ubuntu upgrade manager may not work. Is debian then the better decision since others had success with debian's `full-upgrade`? When I installed armbian, I didn't think about the possible upgrade consequences ... Feel free to move the subject to another hardware independant forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Userspace upgrades (Focal -> Jammy, Bullseye -> Bookworm) are neither tested nor supported. There is no difference in Debian or Ubuntu flavor in that matter. Manuals about how to do that may work though if you freeze firmware packages. Otherwise distro-specific kernel will be installed and this will almost certain break boot process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
