IgorPec: I've done an PinebookPro build with rockchip64-dev 5.8.y, it worked, I'm planning to do a rockchip64-dev garden tour, and if nothing special, commit those change for 5.8.y ...
<AmonX>
Oh speaking of pinebook pro. Do you have the makefile for the RTL88x2BU driver? I am trying to build the driver and I grabbed the code linked here https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-190
<ArmbianHelper>
AR-190 [Story] "Update wireless driver for RTL88x2BU" reported by Igor Pecovnik at 2020-03-30. Status: Done

so unfortunately the pine64so board configuration didn't do the trick for my Olinuxino-A64
<DigitalMan1983>
Already tried Teres so I'm going to try LimeA64
<DigitalMan1983>

yeah with my usb wifi adapter that is usb3 and uses the rtl88x2bu driver it hardlocks arbian if you unplug it while it is in use. I switched back to ayufans ubuntu because it handles youtube better than armbian

@RoganDawes (Rogan Dawes): @mame82 @leonjza Yes, server responds with a date string. And no, embedded backticks or other shell metacharacters are not parsed, other than by date itself. Client is modern Armbian, no ShellShock unfortunately. (14s ago)

@jiribrejcha (Jiri Brejcha): @orangepixunlong @OPi_Community @Poddingue @linuxdevices @cnxsoft @armbian Hi, I was told by another SBC manufacturer that H5 has been discontinued and they stopped production of their SBC because of that. I am confused. Is H5 now available again? (25s ago)
<ArmbianTwitter>
@A13_technology (∆13🏳️🌈): @jiribrejcha @orangepixunlong @OPi_Community @Poddingue @linuxdevices @cnxsoft @armbian It stopped production officially but if a company has enough demand for the SOC Allwinner will be producing batches for them as long as the masks are good. (26s ago)

@RomeoMicev (Romeo Micev): @A13_technology @orangepixunlong @OPi_Community @Poddingue @linuxdevices @cnxsoft @armbian Thank you for the Information. Really sad about the Memory Chipset limitation. A feauture Orange PI PC 3 with 8 GB RAM would be a GPU Killer. 1 GB RAM is too low. My next SBC orders would be only with 8GB RAM. Suggest making the next PI PC 3 a 8GB GPU Killer. (3s ago)

what version they run. old looks like snow lep
<lanefu>
2010--- Ubuntu Focal :P
<lanefu>
mojave on other
<archetech>
k
<archetech>
saw your storm on the news
<lanefu>
yah? i didnt really follow it
<lanefu>
got power back around midnight so can't complain
<archetech>
600k pow out
<lanefu>
man
<lanefu>
was annoying i had neighbors 2 doors down with power
<lanefu>
all depend son what leg you're on i guess
<lanefu>
in college I had a house that was between a church and a hotel
<lanefu>
had epic snow storm
<lanefu>
everyone lost power for a week to the left and right of us
<lanefu>
and we had it the whole time
<archetech>
happens
<archetech>
so I should install those pkgs I suppsoe and seee if it has the fix?
<archetech>
suppose
<lanefu>
i don't know whats up and down anymore
<lanefu>
just keep on beating on it :P
Tenkawa has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
you can try those packages.. which should hav been the same as yours... and you can look into that commit i linked you to talk abouting CPU affinity tweaks for the nics
<xwigg>
run dpkg -i when logged in, package scripts do stuff
<xwigg>
I usually do armbian-config->install bootloader afterwards to be safe
<archetech_a>
these are custom no arb tools
<archetech_a>
should I move em into/boot im asking
<xwigg>
I don't see why.. the debs do all the heavy lifting, armbian tool works with custom built packages too...
<archetech_a>
use a tool vs just run dpkg -i ? i dont get that
<xwigg>
no, use dpkg to install kernel/devicetree/u-boot bin, then use armbian-config to write u-boot bin at the beginning of your SD/eMMC
<archetech_a>
like pulling teeth il just run em from my home dir
<xwigg>
just trying to help...
<archetech_a>
he built me a new armbian-config I see wonder if thats what he wanted me to use
<archetech_a>
so I install that then how does it know where to find the new pkgs?
<archetech_a>
so many questions for getting a new /boot setup
<xwigg>
it should be really easy, dpkg -i *dtb* *image* and off you go
<archetech_a>
youguys know this stuff cuz ya been here a while
<archetech_a>
try remembering when you were new to armbian
<xwigg>
not really. 2 months I guess
<DigitalMan1983_>
Anyone still having difficulty with deb.debian.org and apt.armbian.com not resolving after debs are built?
<xwigg>
dts is for hardware description, image is kernel+modules, firmware is binary blob for hardware, u-boot is bootloader
<Tenkawa>
DigitalMan1983: after they are built? check your /etc/resolv.conf file just in case
<Tenkawa>
it might be getting wiped
<xwigg>
what image?
<Tenkawa>
mind you that would blast all name resolution
<DigitalMan1983_>
building Lime-A64 with kernel 5.7.14. finishes installing armbian-buster-desktop_20.08-trunk_all.deb, then gives the apt stable CLI interface warning, fails to fetch 5 files from deb.debian.org, apt.armbian.org, security.debian.org, shows the CLI warning again, then sits for an hour or so then finally finishes building the image
<lanefu>
DigitalMan1983_: i'm sorry you're in resolver hell
<lanefu>
breadcrumbs, disable systemd-resolvd, disable resolvconf service.. delete resolv.conf symlink and recreate, and edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and set for hosts to: hosts: files dns
<lanefu>
oh and there's a thing in network manager too
<lanefu>
i had a ansible playbook that solved most of this, but then there's some sortof moving target that i'm missing depending on what permutatio of ubuntu i have
<lanefu>
in NetworkManager.conf
<lanefu>
[main]
<lanefu>
dns = default
<lanefu>
rc-manager = file
<lanefu>
sorry for spamming channel
<Tenkawa>
rc.local is your friend too btw
<Tenkawa>
for reboots
<Tenkawa>
:)
<lanefu>
rc.local is cheating
<lanefu>
but also wonderful
<Tenkawa>
hey!!! not to us oldtimers
<lanefu>
systemd is pretty dope, but i understand ragequiting to devuan
<xwigg>
inittab :-)
<lanefu>
archetech_a: i did some scrolling.. so you've got N+ speeds now, but NIC still has performance issues?
<Tenkawa>
xwigg: oh yeah
<Tenkawa>
xwigg: I would like an armbian/devuan hybrid :)
<Tenkawa>
no systemd :)
<lanefu>
Tenkawa: yeah TRS-80 was talking about that
<lanefu>
honestly i think it would be cool in the spirit of the -minimal armbian images
<lanefu>
but not sure how much retooling it would take with debootstrap
<lanefu>
and you can't like "downgrade" a debian in to devuan can you
<lanefu>
the SystemNi knights show up and rip it all out and put in init

not sure but on the arm boxes I do run it on it runs nice
<archetech>
yeah uh huh. I'm bad. (R. Pryor ref)
<xwigg>
systemd is encompassing perhaps an alpinelinux would be nice, though openwrt fits nicely there
<archetech>
@lanefu ^

Slack has sysv.
<archetech>
on arm
<Tenkawa>
but slack's arm support is lightyears behind
<archetech>
had it on the rock64 for about oh. 10 mins
<xwigg>
hehe
<Tenkawa>
do they even have a "stable" arm64 port yet?
* archetech
idk not a slacker
<archetech>
one man distro's scare me
<xwigg>
slack is pretty solid over the years (x86)
<Tenkawa>
x86 yes.. other platforms they lag behind

lanefu - still somewhat of a beginner. How does one go about disabling services?
<DigitalMan1983_>
ah, sysctl again
<archetech>
systemctl
<DigitalMan1983_>
yes, that too :)
<DigitalMan1983_>
Failed to disable unit: Unit file systemd-resolvd.service does not exist.
<archetech>
run. systemctl by itself to see service names
<archetech>
or --list

systemd-resolved perhaps?
* archetech
hmmm. Ive conquered ARM. maybe a hackintosh Big Sur beta build is in my future heh
<Tenkawa>
wow sounds like your connect or your choice of servers is not good
<DigitalMan1983_>
yeah I had to change my network adapter settings in VirtualBox
<DigitalMan1983_>
it was simply set to NAT instead of my specific NIC
<Tenkawa>
bummer
<Tenkawa>
macintosh host?
<DigitalMan1983_>
windows
<Tenkawa>
oh
<DigitalMan1983_>
a little baffled as to how it got changed or if not why it stopped working
<DigitalMan1983_>
but I'm trying another build, we'll see
<Tenkawa>
why not run vmware player? in my experience its a lot more robust
<DigitalMan1983_>
never really explored my options
<Tenkawa>
I run parallels but I'm on a mac and its great on there
<DigitalMan1983_>
looks like it doesn't support windows as a host
<Tenkawa>
no its made for macs
<DigitalMan1983_>
yeah I don't have a mac
<Tenkawa>
I ran vmware when I used windows and linux hosts
<DigitalMan1983_>
ah here it is for windows....version 15.5
<DigitalMan1983_>
can it use vdi disk files from virtual box or does it have it's own format?
<DigitalMan1983_>
FUCK
<Tenkawa>
vmware I think uses vmdk only but dont quote me
<Tenkawa>
what happened?
<DigitalMan1983_>
same shit. can't resolve
<DigitalMan1983_>
apt-get update is still working
* DigitalMan1983_
smashes his head against an already blood-stained, dented wall
<DigitalMan1983_>
I'm able to ping all three servers
<Tenkawa>
dont trust ping… go to them with something that uses tcp like links/lynx
<Tenkawa>
make sure you are actually going somewhere
<DigitalMan1983_>
yup, they all load in links
<Tenkawa>
ok good
<Tenkawa>
well at least routing is ok
<DigitalMan1983_>
ls
<DigitalMan1983_>
woops wrong window haha
<Tenkawa>
so something programatic sounds goofy..
<DigitalMan1983_>
going AFK for a few hours. hopefully my home setup will reveal that this is something specific to my work machine or network connection

5.8.y may hold the answer
<DigitalMan1983>
OK so there's definitely something up with my work machine
<DigitalMan1983>
not sure if it's our network, the PC or the VM, but the build I left going at home finished with no such issue
<lanefu>
archetech_a: so im running same kernel that i gave you on my n2
<lanefu>
so only diff is gonna be the device tree overlay
<lanefu>
not overlay
<lanefu>
but you get it
<lanefu>
i'll fire up vimdiff
<lanefu>
after i solve my current linux on mac problem
<DigitalMan1983>
ugh...and now to fight with Guest Additions to get drag and drop working
<archetech_a>
idk what dto is

leave info here ill bbl

is anyone here an expert on custom armbian build setups? I'm looking to do something specific with my images
<wbn>
basically i want root to have an invalid password, a custom user with sudo nopwd access, ssh authorized_keys in that user's homedir, and SSH password auth turned off
* DigitalMan1983
is barely an expert at spelling his own name
<wbn>
also I want to be able to test if /dev/mmcblk0 is uninitialized, and if it is, overwrite it with the contents of its own block device
<wbn>
during boot
<wbn>
it seems like i should be doing something in userpatches/customize-image.sh
<wbn>
but idk what context that script executes in
<DigitalMan1983>
just curious wbn, what board are you working with?
<DigitalMan1983>
Olinuxino-A64 here
<wbn>
rockpi-4a and orangepi4
<wbn>
never heard of your board
<DigitalMan1983>
cool
<wbn>
but rockchip based stuff is what i work with
<DigitalMan1983>
it's made by a company called Olimex
<wbn>
they make the SoC too?
<DigitalMan1983>
they make an RK3188 SOM, which is what I was working with before I graduated up to 64 bit
<wbn>
oh it's an Allwinner
<wbn>
icic
<DigitalMan1983>
no, the A64 is Allwinner
<DigitalMan1983>
I
<DigitalMan1983>
'm dumb as a box of rocks with this stuff but the guys in here are really helpful
<wbn>
hope someone gets to me soon :p
<wbn>
but its ok i'll be here all night
<DigitalMan1983>
best bet is to hang out here for a day or two, even if you idle for long periods of time....which is what most people do on IRC anyway
<wbn>
i mean i have a bouncer so yeah
<wbn>
i'm not gonna miss anything regardless
<DigitalMan1983>
cool
<lanefu>
wbn: customize_image is ran in the image -chroot as the last step before closing out
<DigitalMan1983>
I'd say this channel is fairly active
<DigitalMan1983>
+lanefu knows lots of things about stuff

thank u
<lanefu>
so it will be priviledged and qemu will handly any arm execution

DaRock has joined #armbian
<wbn>
that's ok i really only wanna touch files
<wbn>
oh it WILL handle arm exec
<wbn>
ok
<lanefu>
yep! automagic
<wbn>
so the context in which that script executes
<wbn>
is basically as if i were just in runlevel 1 on the board itself?
<lanefu>
yeah
<lanefu>
good way to frame it
<wbn>
ok so i don't have to worry about any prefixing or anything
<wbn>
cause i looked at someone's script for an example and it had like
<wbn>
/tmp/overlay or something in there
<wbn>
and that's when i decided i'd ask in here lol
<lanefu>
right so that folder gets mapped in there
<lanefu>
so you can copy stuff
<lanefu>
im trying to think what the conext path would be
<wbn>
copy from where to where?
<wbn>
and mapped from where to where?

wbn did you have any raspberry pis before you got your orangepi4?
<wbn>
yeah, a few
<wbn>
but this is actually for work - i work for a company that manages a few thousand rockpi's and orangepi's
<wbn>
and it's one of those things where
<wbn>
you start with a configuration that works for maybe 5 boards
<wbn>
and then you have to manage more and more boards and you're just making clones of clones and things are getting out of control lol
<lanefu>
wbn: okay so looks effective like the userpatches folder in your git checkout is mounted inside the chroot as /overlay
<lanefu>
mount -o bind,ro "$USERPATCHES_PATH"/overlay "${SDCARD}"/tmp/overlay
<wbn>
so i'm trying to fix all that
<wbn>
lanefu: oh awesome
<lanefu>
then chroot's to the equivalent of `/`
<wbn>
this is dope
<wbn>
im coming from yocto
<wbn>
and not having to write build recipes for every single dependency i have
<wbn>
i feel so free
<lanefu>
wbn: woohoo. I look forward to your contributions :)
<lanefu>
we need lots of help
<lanefu>
but the good news is, we've solved a lot of the biggest pain points
<lanefu>
liek the ones you were experiencing with yocto builds for different devices
<wbn>
yeah
<lanefu>
wbn: also be aware of /boot/armbianEnv.txt
<lanefu>
most bootime stuff can be handled there
<lanefu>
you'll see vars in boot.cmd that coorespond to stuff in armbianEnv.txt
<lanefu>
anyway have fun doin stuff
<wbn>
ohhhh tight
<wbn>
wait
<lanefu>
ha
<lanefu>
im here
<lanefu>
ex: of someting i have in my userpatches
<wbn>
can you show me where's the default contents of armbianEnv.txt

if [[ -f /boot/armbianEnv.txt ]]; then
<lanefu>
sed -i 's/verbosity.*$/verbosity=7/' /boot/armbianEnv.txt
