hey y'all, is there a guide on how to do a *headless* setup for wifi? no ethernet required? i.e. the raspbian method where you just plunk in a SSID & password in a wpa_supplicant.conf file in /boot? Something like that for armbian/
<archetech>
let me explain the kernel build I made I tested on a sdcard install of bionic
<xgpt>
**??
<archetech>
the question of why all these partitons is a sep general question but its related
<archetech>
I didnt try to upgrade this usb build
<lanefu>
so those partitions make no sense
<lanefu>
armbian doesnt do those
<lanefu>
did you use etcher to put armbian on the usb?
<archetech>
ok ill try a reinstall to this usb drive see if it does all these partitions again
<lanefu>
archetech: are you using etcher or dd?
<archetech>
dd
<lanefu>
i have a feeling you did like dd ot a partition instead of the disk
<lanefu>
use etcher
<lanefu>
since tahst what we say to use
<archetech>
ok

IgorPec: Thanks friend! I tried all the googles and I couldn't find it quickly in "https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/", perhaps someone should consider adding it to those otherwise very well-written docs?
<IgorPec>
you are welcome to write it to the manual if it still works
<xgpt>
IgorPec: how would I learn how to contribute to the manual? I'm pretty well versed in markdown/other similar markups and can figure it out, but my biggest barrier to contributing edits to these FOSS docs is not knowing how to do it, like do I just contribute it as "patches" to github there? I'd actually really love to start contributing to documentation and love Armbian enough to help out there if anyone
<xgpt>
could help me get started. I've noticed a ton of slightly out of date references in that manual (references to stretch vs. buster, which could be updated or just straight up just left to say "current" Debian)
<IgorPec>
There is Edit button, markdown is text with few extras
<xgpt>
so I just fork the repo, edit it in my local, and then submit it as a push request?
<xgpt>
neat.
<IgorPec>
yes
<xgpt>
I'm absolute crap when it comes to being a programmer, I was super proud when I managed to finally learned how to compile some things from github, and I'm not a UI/UX person, but I do work in OT and understand how people go through using the things they use in their days and how to write good docs. I'll keep in touch with any questions I've got on stuff to edit! Thanks for the quick responses!

about 5 posts down ab1jx mentions ayufans 7 partitions being normal
<IgorPec>
write down, waiting time is around 2-3 years
<IgorPec>
if this is important to you, do something about, we would, but have no options. It's not an urgent issue. Its just comodity
<lanefu>
...aka we like Pull Requests
<lanefu>
and community testing
