DVE Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Hi all, I have a Nano Pi Core 5.15.74-sunxi system with Focal OS on it. Now I see that files on http://apt.armbian.com for Focal have 0 size. Is there any way to update the kernel without reinstalling the OS from scratch, are any mirrors or archives available? Tnx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Focal is EOL. There are no further updates anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVE Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Thanks. Ubuntu is supporting Focal until April 2025, I was surprised that the repository shut down earlier https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#ubuntu Though if I update Focal to Jammy in apt sources and run the armbian-config again, will it install a new kernel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Werner Posted May 15 Solution Share Posted May 15 Ubuntu can, we cannot. Unfortunately. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-are-old-stable-distributions-like-ubuntu-focal-or-debian-buster-not-supported About userspace upgrades: Quote Armbian does not offer a standardized way nor do we encourage users to upgrade their userspace like Focal to Jammy, Jammy to Noble, Bullseye to Bookworm, Bookworm to Trixie. We would love to do that but the reason why we cannot is simply the lack of ressources in time and devices to test such upgrades in random scenarios. You can try to upgrade your userspace by following official ways from Debian/Ubuntu but make sure to freeze your firmware packages via `armbian-config` beforehand. Also please don't blame/complain at Armbian if something goes wrong or have other issues with the upgraded system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
