laurentppol Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Hi there, I pourchased OPi5 (not preferred OPi5 Pro, because of Armbian lacking support), flashed Debian 24.8.1_bookworm_6.10.6_cinnamon_backported_mesa_desktop, configured (user, switch to static IP, user). Worked OK. Now, ssh'ing into showed "113 packages upgrade". Did "apt upgrade". Download OK, but when applying apgrade process hung twice: - once on "configuring libc", had to power off, then restarted (after an apt-get suggested in response to apt upgrade). Upgrade hung second time (no progress on bottom bar for hours, no new ssh session). - twice was on "configuring udev". After this, board is almost dead: - boots to animated Armbian logo, - then "flash" (the few lines on bootup) "failed" (too shot to see what failed). - then NO normal (text) bootup messages, - then blank screen with text cursor in left-upper corner, switching with totally blank screen (but monitor does NOT go to sleep) - graphic mode? I can remove uSD card (good, Samsung U1, 32GB), but what should I look for? Power seems not be problem, it is on it's own 5V/5A SMPS, heatsinks and fan.

ozacas Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Hi, There is a lot going on there - lets try to divide it up into smaller, more manageable pieces: Please report armbianmonitor -u results here so we can see a wide range of performance monitoring and debug results when the box "hangs" can you login to it anymore via another ssh connection? or is it completely non-responsive until you power cycle? does it recover automatically? are you able to connect a keyboard/monitor and login that way? libc is a very important component - it may have been corrupted by powering off just as it was being configured resulting in further unintended consequences. May need to reinstall how long was the hang? some downloads can take quite many minutes to fetch. A network issue could be a culprit here. If it hangs again, running dmesg as superuser, just after it starts to hang, can yield valuable information about problems hope this helps, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentppol Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 1). CAN'T do armbianmonitor as I can't login. 2). no ssh, black screen 3). I know libc is VERY important, but if it is corrupted, how to recover? 4). during update I left box for hours before concluding "hung" and power off. 5). no dmesg,, can't login. Have only copy of root filesystem on my laptop's disk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted Friday at 08:01 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:01 AM Get an USB UART adapter to attach serial console. Otherwise debugging is somewhere between hard and impossible https://debug.armbian.de 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentppol Posted Friday at 08:21 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 08:21 AM Ok, what would be serial parameters? (speed, bits, parity, 115200. 8N1?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
