SteeMan Posted August 19 Posted August 19 Board is not a supported Armbian SBC, moved to the Community Maintained forum section and reset the board tag to reflect the correct board. 2 Quote
Werner Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed. 0 Quote
soldato Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 i apology but for some misteryous issue i lost completly the network, using nmtui i added only the IP gateway on my wired connection and after that i lost completly the network, i also mounted the SD on a ubuntu but all seems fine. but no network. after that i reimaged a new SD card with last armbian/noble release , and wifi connection works. i need to reinstall all OctoPrint sw. without IP gateway i cannot install armbianmonitor. i think we can close this thread if i cannot resume at least the wired connection. the next steps could be to disable Network Manager , can any one has a guide to perform this task using the SD mounted on a another machine ? bye 0 Quote
robertoj Posted August 24 Posted August 24 I tried the orangepizero image from https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/Bookworm_current_minimal (Bookworm, Linux 6.6.44) and wifi didn't work Then I tried the image from https://armbian.tnahosting.net/archive/orangepizero/archive/Armbian_24.2.1_Orangepizero_bookworm_current_6.6.20_minimal.img.xz (bookworm, Linux 6.6.20) and wifi worked again Then I did apt update+upgrade, the kernel upgraded to 6.6.31, and the wifi connection was still working Result of armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/irowedahuc ^ In case someone needs a reference of how it should work I will try the 6.6.44 image again v Below is the result of the Bookworm 6.6.44 image https://paste.armbian.com/odeyapojal Also: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down It is also missing armbian-config: sudo apt install armbian-config [sudo] password for roberto: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package armbian-config Then, when I tried the image from https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero/Noble_current_server (on August 24), then Wifi works armbian-config and nmtui are included in this image, and it has a new option: Radio Here's the result of armbianmonitor -u : https://paste.armbian.com/erofizifam I will continue working with Ubuntu Server, instead of Debian Minimal 0 Quote
SteeMan Posted August 24 Posted August 24 10 hours ago, robertoj said: Minimal Minimal really means minimal. So it doesn't come installed with even basic things like Armbian-config. The minimal install is an 'expert' type build, use only if you know what you are doing and are willing to install a lot of basic things to get your system working the way you want. The standard server builds are likely what you are looking for. 0 Quote
robertoj Posted August 25 Posted August 25 I get it, that Debian Minimal comes without armbian-config, but it is the first time I can't install it with "sudo apt install armbian-config" 0 Quote
SteeMan Posted August 25 Posted August 25 What are the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list file? 0 Quote
Werner Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Did apt update beforehand? Images do not come with pre-installed apt lists since they would be outdated the moment the image was assembled. 0 Quote
