maybl8 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu noble image. Was this the correct one for my Raspberry Pi400 if I wanted the rolling release version? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 You need to provide the exact name of the image you downloaded. You question can't be answered from the information you provided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteeMan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 That is the stable version not the rolling releases. The rolling releases would be 24.8 (not 24.5) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybl8 Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 How do I know which one is for my Pi400? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The ones with Rpi4 in the name. But there aren't any right now because apparently the builds are failing for this board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybl8 Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 should I just watch that page from time to time to see it Rpi4 shows up or is there a way to be notified when it is available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 9 hours ago, maybl8 said: should I just watch that page Rolling releases are at the bottom of download pages - for each device. https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/ But for some reason, we didn't produce rolling images for Rpi. I did move it back on. https://github.com/armbian/os/commit/6304fa14b309103eab302b1df9b1e6efec36ff1b But any image you can switch to rolling - at least from kernel perspective: https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-leaflet-25/ If you need rolling user-space too, then wait (few hours) for new rolling builds or DIY. Beware that rolling user-space variants contains bleeding edge software, which is not tested well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybl8 Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 (edited) Thaks for this info. First try didn't go so well. Tried the nightly build from the armbian config menu and rebooted . System froze at the first color screen. Second try was just to upgrade the kernel to 6.7.x. That didn't work either same result. No problem this should be fun to get working. Looking forward to learning about rolling. Thanks If I can help contribute log files or something. Let me know . I will read the links on supporting the team. I would like my Pi400 to be on the latest system. After reading allot on the links you provided. What is the best advise you would give for me wanting to stay rolling and using a Pi400?

Its 6.6.y kernel. You can try to switch to alternative kernel (EDGE) via armbian-config -> system -> alternative kernel ... however none of this is tested. "Rolling" means, its just shipped and if you are lucky, it works, you have latest kernel, if not, it breaks and you need to DIY to get it back. This is philosophy behind Arch / Manjaro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybl8 Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Hopefully the last question on this . Is this what I want: Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.472_Rpi4b_trixie_current_6.6.42_minimal.img.xz And then it will always be rolling with the nightly builds? I've used Debian Testing before but the repos always said testing not a specific version like trixie. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0rnelius Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Trixie is what the next official release will be. So it will stay rolling until it hits a freeze point and shortly after which released. If you really wanna stay rolling; testing, unstable and sid is where you wanna be. But I wouldn't use any for a daily or production unit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
