Orange Pi 5 Max Ubuntu 24.04 (Armbian Linux v6.1) - web browser problem

[Philip1]

I installed the Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.1 (Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), build Date: Feb 20, 2025), found that Chrome does not exist. Then I used the Synaptic Package Manager to install it, but the following error appeared: 

 

Firefox also not work nor cannot update.

 

If anyone experencied the same? Thanks.

Try an image with mesa-vpu extension present or build one. I think that ships a modified version to make use of hw acceleration better than stock.

Thanks. I did apt upgrade, then the firebox was updated and can use. But, after I reboot it, the wifi adapter disappeared. Checked by the command: lshw -C network, the wifi adapter was disappeared. How can I fix?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

I searched on the https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip/releases, there is a mentioning: v2.3.2 Fixed wireless interface not showing up after a reboot on the Orange Pi 5 Pro.

 

I already tried this build and there is really no wifi adapter missing problem, but the rknpu driver is of version 0.9.7, where the one got problem, the driver version is 0.9.8, which seems to be better. So, I want to run the AI processes by using the new npu driver.

 

Thank you very much.

if [ ! -f "$HOME/Downloads/firefox-136.0.tar.xz" ]; then
    wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/136.0/linux-aarch64/fa/firefox-136.0.tar.xz -P "$HOME/Downloads"

Hi seyed.mostafa ziaei,

 

I followed your script and applied, but some errors resulted as attached.

 

I tried to find out, but do not have any idea why there is error in 'dpkg-deb --build "$PACKAGE_NAME'. Would you please help again?

 

Thank you very much.
