Warning: Linux Mint 22.3 Zena not yet supported

[robertoj]

I just upgraded my Linux Mint from 22.2 to 22.3 "Zena" ... CLEAN INSTALL, with "git" installed

I started a typical armbian build folder, as per:

https://github.com/armbian/build?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start

 

But then I got this error:

[🌱] Build host OS release [ zena ]
[🌱] Build host architecture [ amd64 ]
[💥] error! [ Unsupported build system: 'zena'  ]

 

I know that Mint 22.3 was released just last month, but I needed something in the new Linux kernel.

 

I can use Mint 22.2 in another computer (where armbian is working OK)... but what is the typical delay for a new Linux Mint to become supported?

 

Then I tried with $ sudo apt install docker.io , and got a little further:

 

$ ./compile.sh

More info: my docker is version 28.2.2

 

$ apt list docker.io
Listing... Done
docker.io/noble-updates,now 28.2.2-0ubuntu1~24.04.1 amd64 [installed]

 

docker v17.6 needed. Reference: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Building-with-Docker/

Mint

unsupported build environment. As per documentation Noble is supported only. there are a few others "whitelisted" known mostly to work in the scripts, Zena hasn't yet.

Check if your user has access to docker (usermod -aG docker yourusername) and check if docker run hello-world runs properly.
