I ran an update on my orangpi PC2.

  

Setting up armbian-zsh (24.5.1) ...
cp: cannot create directory '/home/unifi/.oh-my-zsh': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/home/unifi/.zshrc': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access '/home/unifi/.oh-my-zsh': No such file or directory
chown: cannot access '/home/unifi/.zshrc': No such file or directory

Witch is to be expected to fail, because that is a system user I accedentally gave an above 1000 UID

 

Unifi is UID 1003, my regular user bedna (1000) is the owner of /home/bedna

 

I don't mind, I don't use zsh anyway, but figured you would want to know about this.

 

Edit

I spoke to early, the update actually breaks the system.
Seems to be network related because it gets stuck at that if I connect a display to the device.

 

I have restored a backup and retried 2 times, same thing, so there is presumably something wrong on your side here.

 

This is what the terminal gave during the update, and as you can see, it looks like it all goes smooth, something in the firmware or kernel?

Hmm, can you give us a bit more information on how to reproduce this? If I start with a clean image, which you have used? 

Bullseye is not well maintained by upstream, so we don't provide images anymore. Its suggested to use Bookworm from some time.

 

Edit: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/lib/functions/compilation/packages/armbian-zsh-deb.sh#L40-L54 Looks like this doesn't work well in your case. Needs some adjustments, ideas are welcome.

Do I understand correctly?
Are you logged in as a "benda" user?
There is another user "unifi" in your OS, but he does not have a home directory?
Or does the directory exist but the user "1003" has write rights?

Who has "sudo" rights? UID 1003 or 1000?

Before these actions, it is necessary to verify users with UID >= 1000.
And in the loop for the found users, first check the existence of the home directory and if it exists, then do these actions (cp, chown).

Oh crap! I missed these repliess, I must make sure to activate email notification, I'm sorry!

I honestly just left it unupdated, it's not a huge issue for me, I don't really use it for other than testing a script.

The img it was installed from was "Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.93_Orangepipc2_bookworm_current_6.6.18_minimal" and I am aware it IS a "community release", that's why I didn't put a massive amount of investigation.

Close.. "bedna".. xD
But yes, bedna is UID 1000, the ONLY sudo user.
1003 is a system user, no home, no login shell IIRC.

 

Edit. I made a check, and it actually is supposed to have a home in /home/unifi (MY BAD.. xD 

unifi:x:1003:1003:System user for Unifi,,,:/home/unifi:/usr/sbin/nologin

So that is on me, I probably forgot to use the --system option or smthn, it is not a big deal and most likely not connected to the network failing at boot anyway.


And the zsh is just super strange, I never use it even though I know it comes with the img.
(I now realize, the option in the installation is just selecting the shell, there is absolutely a zsh installed on the opi, I have just not noticed it)

 

I will try with a fresh image and come back with results, when I get time...

 

Edit 2:
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/2a2e609e3c5e55404759ea9a2cf010b268c2f356/lib/functions/compilation/packages/armbian-zsh-deb.sh#L49C3-L49C129 

awk -F'[:]' '{if (\$3 >= 1000 && \$3 != 65534 || \$3 == 0) print ""\$1":"\$3" "\$6"/.zshrc"}' /etc/passwd | xargs -n2 chown -R

Is the "culprit".
 

In this situation it IS my bad as shown above, not sure what I did because the directory was not created, but the entry in /etc/passwd clearly exist.
A solution would be to run [-d <user-home-path found in passwd> ], but tbh, babysitting at that level is imho a bit too far...
This is on me..
But the system freezing at boot trying to connect to network, I will look deeper into.

This script assumes that there should be one user on your system with a UID >= 1000.

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/lib/functions/compilation/packages/armbian-zsh-deb.sh#L40-L54

In general, this is not true.

 

If you need an administrator user without a home directory, you can create one with a UID < 1000.

But in this case, zsh will not work correctly for him. Or fix the situation manually.

There may be two problems here.
There is no clock on the device and the OS makes a request to a remote time server at startup and if it does not receive a timestamp, then it just waits. It looks like it's stuck.
1) The external internet connection is not working.
2) You have updated the kernel package. Your OS is Debian Bullseye.

Packages are collected in the ubuntu noble environment (24.04).

This may have caused the Ethernet connection to break down.

 

P.S.

Try installing Ubuntu 24.04 on your device.
And your 4 year updates won't create any problems.

Yeah, I didn't react to the comment about if I was using bullseye, I was 100% sure I had a bookworm img installed, but that might not be the case.
Thank you for providing feedback, but I will reinstall with the latest community img and see what that leads to. :)

WDYM? I updated that system at least once a week up until it no longer worked. Worked flawlessly up until I made the post.

I wiped the sd-card, but I have access to a backup to before running this update..
You guys need/want something from me?
