Joe_PS Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, Since the armbian release 5.3.6 (Linux 8 jessie 4.13.16-sunxi64) does not contain the module 'nls_utf8', one can not use the OpenMediaVault - OMV - plugin 'Remote Mount' for accessing an external HDD ... for example, which is connected to a Fritz!Box (running Fritz!NAS). Further details please see OMV - Remote Mount: How to mount an HDD that is connected to a Fritz!Box 7490? Please include the module 'nls_utf8' (and maybe some more nls_* modules) in an update compilation, which is based on the same kernel. Many thanks in advance. The module is provided in following Debian Jessie file list (image): https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64/linux-image-3.16.0-4-arm64/filelist Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that the nls_* modules (especially nls_utf8.ko) will be available automatically, when doing an upgrade to 4.14.14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, or rather with the 4.14.15 update since it just was pushed upstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you guess please, when 4.14.15 would be probably available for mainline kernel - debian server (OPI0+) at the eraliest? Or via apt-update && apt-upgrade? Would it be good, if all nls_* modules are included within the basic linux-sunxi kernel deployment? If, and only if yes: Should I write a short friendly request in the group Google group linux-sunxi? (Or is this the wrong 'procedure'/'communication'?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_PS Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 For Orange PI Zero Plus I've found in nightly only '4.13.14.7' from 20.11.2017 11:54. Independent from that: what about including the nls_* modules within linux-sunxi basic deployment, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just do apt-get update and upgrade. I'll also add new images in next days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not up to us, upstream mainline sunxi_defconfig and arm64 defconfig are intentionally minimal and we (Armbian) are not using them anyway - we have our own set of kernel configs.

Joe_PS Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks for your efforts ... and thanks in advance. Most probably I'll can give it a try on January 31st evening at the earliest ...

Hopefully other armbian users will also benefit from nls_* modules in 'armbian standard' ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristofejro Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi guys, I have the same problem with current release. Would you be so kind and add that module again to the release? root@openmediavault:~# uname -a Linux openmediavault 4.19.17-sunxi64 #5.73 SMP Tue Jan 29 06:41:37 CET 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@openmediavault:~# grep -i nls_utf8 /boot/config* # CONFIG_NLS_UTF8 is not set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
