How to change the boot screen in the assembly?

$

0

I tried as described in the manuals Lubuntu:

 

1)sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-*
3) sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
4) sudo update-initramfs -u 
 
As a result, all the same boot black console rather than graphical theme. Please help us understand how to make the graphics theme at startup and reboot.

Issue with installation of firmware

Hi,
 
after some days with other projects I have updated to newest master and now see this message during installation:
 
[ o.k. ] Installing extra applications and drivers
[ o.k. ] Installing linux firmware [ 5.14 ]
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/armbian-firmware_5.14_all.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/armbian-firmware_5.14_all.deb

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/armbian-hostapd-jessie_5.14_armhf.deb
 These errors are NOT mentioned in install.log or output.log!

It looks like these lines are coming from extras/firmware.sh.
May be the last line should be appended with "2>&1" to catch such issues?
 
But I was unable to find out yet why the .deb cannot be found. It is created and has the correct name in output/debs.
Have there been changes to the order of processing? It looks like the "mount --bind" to /tmp is no longer (or not yet?) active...

Boot hangs at "random: nonblocking pool is initialized"

Hi,

I generated SD images for A20-OLinuXino-Lime2-eMMC boards.

 

Kernel is 4.6.2, Debian wheezy, u-boot 2016.05

 

On my last two images (generated with slight differences in u-boot configuration), the first time I booted, everything worked fine.

 

After that, I installed a booting system on the eMMC of the card.

 

After few boots, (on the same board) the first SD card hanged  (several minutes) just after displaying:

random: nonblocking pool is initialized

The other card continued to work (booting did not hang).

 

A few hours later, I copied several files into a /data directory (.deb files).

 

Trying to boot that second card, it ran in the same blocked status: "random: nonblocking pool is initialized".

 

The first card: same thing.

 

I already waited for an hour once without success.

 

Booting from eMMC does does not hang

 

Any clue on what could avoid this problem ? And what causes it ?

Lamobo R1 onboard ethernet LEDs - strange behaviour

$
0
0

Hello,

 

i recently installed armbian on my newly bought Lamobo R1.

Everything is working fine so far but for the onboard ethernet LEDs, they're not working as expected.

 

The green LED on port 3 of the internal switch (also known as wan port) ist constantly on, no matter if there is a cable plugged in or not. The orange LED is always off.

After some trial and error if figured out that on the other 4 ports the green LED, for the specific port, shows the current network traffic (is blinking) if the established connection is 10Base-T. If the connection is 1000Base-T, the orange LED shows the current network traffic and if the connection is 100Base-T no led is on or showing the network traffic.

 

With the swconfig tool the LED behaviour can't be controlled, because the LED attribute isn't known for the switch. Till now i have not found any other solution to control the LEDs or why the LEDs behave so strangely. Is it a bug?

 

I hope that someone here can help me with this problem

 

Kind regards

Hotspot max connections problem

Hi,
I have Cubietrauck and I installed legacy Jessie on SD card and after configuration hostapd for using it as access point only 5 devices were able to connect to my device. After search I’ve added max_num_sta=20 but it didn’t solve my problem.
I tried to use other distribution like vanilla Jessie and vanilla trusty server but I had same problem.
 
Here is my hostapd configuration:





interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=ssid
hw_mode=g
channel=9
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=mypassword
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
max_num_sta=20

 

 

How can I change max devices connection? Is this problem relate to the wifi module and how can I fix it?

 

 

 

 

 

Problems mounting drive with usrjquota

Hi,

 

I can't seem to mount any drives with journaled user/group quota.

 

I just get this error:

root@bananapipro:~# mount -o rw,defaults,nofail,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 UUID=56790abd-531d-43b7-8cf8-9bfc85105f6a /media/56790abd-531d-43b7-8cf8-9bfc85105f6a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

If I run the mount command without the quota stuff the drive mounts without any problems and is browseable.

Cubietruck - HDMI still working

Hey Community!

 

I installed Armbian Jessie without any problem to SD Card. HDMI was the default screen output, and I changed to VGA with the help of this topic: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/445-debian-images-cubietruck-vga-output-problem/

 

The next boot went fine, VGA works. But, after the system upgrade-update, after the reboot the screen is HDMI again. I checked the card's file system with NAND ubuntu, the output order (the 4 row) is 4-4-4-4. So, I can't understand. The VGA monitor is fine, working in the next few phase before the kernel starts, but after that: just blinking. If I connect the Samsung HDTV, the desktop present there....

 

Thanks for the advices!

Hi all,

yeterday i connected a lipo battery to my cb2, made some stuff and then shut down. Today i've found my battery totally discharged so I started investigating. I've found that even if the system is shutdown i can measure about 4.5V on ipsout. I verified also the same situation on my second cb2.

Searching on the web i've found this post.

Any of you could confirm, please?

Hello, im new to linux and armbian systems, but im really interested in the topic,

 

recently im working with an a20-Olinuxino-Lime2 , and my goal was to put another OS, for that i followed some tutorials to install a Linux Mate system on the sd card, i configured it to access the internet thought my router but after a point that i changed the kernel ,  i lost connection to the internet, all my "interfaces" files are the same and i can ping to my router, but i cant ping from my computer to it

 

booting up it gives some errors opening lib modules:

systemd-udev(439) could not open builtin file : "/lib/modules/3.4.109-sunxi/modules.builtin.bin"

modprob : ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:514 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file : "/lib/modules/3.4.109-sunxi/modules.builtin.bin"

modprob : FATAL : module a20_tp not found in directory lib/modules/3.4.109-sunxi

6-8 channel HDMI audio on BPi A20

$

Hi All!
 
Legacy kernel says: "Enabled audio devices: analog, 8 channel HDMI, spdif and I2S (if wired and enabled in HW configuration)"
 
But there is no multi channel device listed in aplay -L , like surround51, surround71, etc.
With "speaker-test -D default:sunxisndhdmi -c 6 -t wav", We got a downmixed stereo result.
 
Receiver device is a BEM-182 Broadcast Monitor on its HDMI input - only 2 VU-meter band appears. Other test setup is the same receiver in SDI input mode with an HDMI to SDI converter. Specs of this adapter declares that it supports 8 channel, and this time 8 VU-meter band appears on the monitor so device is ready to receive multi-channel audio, but the 6-8CH audio transmission is still downmixed to stereo...
 
Are there anything that should be switched manually / reconfigured on the BPi transmitter side? Or is it an incompatibility situation?
 
Best regards,
Peter

Hi,

I've got:

 

 

ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun4i

 

My problem is:

 

 

root@cubieboard:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sunxicodec [sunxi-CODEC], device 0: M1 PCM [sunxi PCM]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

 

- no spdif. Why? Script.bin is ok. It seems that the driver is not built into the kernel...

 

Please help.

Install debian in Lime2-eMMC

$

Hello,

 

I tried several times to install debian in eMMC on Lime2, using nand-sata-install, without success, getting with the message :

 

"There are no targets. Please check your drives."

 

Note that on the same board, the official debian image provided by Olimex is working and can be installed in eMMC

 

Checking with "dmesg | grep mmc", I don't find mmcblk1 (only mmcblk0).

 

I tried with 3.4.112 image from armbian (also with 4.5.2).

 

I installed a lot of images on Lime2 in NAND, so I'm not so unexperienced, but I don't understand where I'm wrong (or what I don't know) 

 

Thanks for any help !

 

Regards,
