Z11ntal33r Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Hi, I've some issues regarding apt pinning, which I've used for a year now without problems, after doing a clean install to Armbian_5.70_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.14. I've figured out that installing only locales from testing (2.28-4) over (2.24-11+deb9u3) kills armbian-ramlog.service as seen below in spoiler 1, which again seems to cause problems for other packages as Nginx. Spoiler # Status after clean install and installing locales from testing deb ● armbian-ramlog.service - Armbian memory supported logging Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/armbian-ramlog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sat 2019-01-12 15:28:42 UTC; 22min ago Process: 649 ExecStart=/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-ramlog start (code=killed, signal=TERM) Main PID: 649 (code=killed, signal=TERM) Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/armbian-ramlog.service └─683 rsync -aXWv --delete --exclude armbian-ramlog.log --exclude *.gz --exclude=*.[0-9] --links /var/log.hdd/ /var/log/ Jan 12 15:28:12 Tinkerboard systemd[1]: Starting Armbian memory supported logging...

If a do a clean install, add testing sources, apt-pinning and run "sudo apt-get -t testing install locales", armbian-ramlog.service fails. I've tested everything using buster/sid after full apt-get dist-upgrade and it works. So, I've to find out which packages that I need to install in addition to prevent armbian-ramlog.service from failing. Spoiler # Status after clean install and dist-upgrade to buster/sid ● armbian-ramlog.service - Armbian memory supported logging Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/armbian-ramlog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Sat 2019-01-12 22:27:55 UTC; 33min ago Main PID: 606 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 0 (limit: 4792) Memory: 0B CGroup: /system.slice/armbian-ramlog.service Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: apt/history.log Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: apt/term.log Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: ntpstats/ Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: private/ Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: sysstat/ Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: unattended-upgrades/ Jan 12 22:27:53 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-shutdown.log Jan 12 22:27:54 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: sent 1,573,061 bytes received 423 bytes 3,146,968.00 bytes/sec Jan 12 22:27:54 Tinkerboard armbian-ramlog[606]: total size is 1,571,197 speedup is 1.00 Jan 12 22:27:55 Tinkerboard systemd[1]: Started Armbian memory supported logging. So, just pointing out which packages I've to install while using apt pinning to make sure armbian-ramlog.service works is very helpful for me. Running buster/sid instead of stable and apt pinning is not an option, so if apt pinning and Armbian memory supported logging is not possible I would have to compile the latest versions of the packages I want - which I've done before. Stretch backport is neither an option. If you guys think moving to Ubuntu might suit me better, please tell me and I'll try.

Well, it seems that not installing some specific packages from testing deb causes Armbian memory supported logging to fail as installing only the package locales makes it fail. I'm thinking about disabling armbian-ramlog.service as you mentioned, yet I'm not sure the consequences and how it would differentiate from ex. the setup I had with Armbian_5.50_Tinkerboard_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.52. I'll post a full log with armbianmonitor -u in the first post after one more setup.
Z11ntal33r Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 As I've moved away from apt-pinning since upgrading all my TB boxes to ARMBIAN 5.70 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.14-rockchip this thread can be closed. I'll stick with compiling the few packages that I want and need the latest versions of while staying at the stable channel as I've encountered several issues when using apt-pinning or buster/sid deb as kernel panics, lost ethernet connection, logging services failing etc.
