I'm trying to format a usb stick here but it says I can not cause it is a file system read only
<LanDi>
how can I solve this?
<lanefu>
umount it first

<TRS-80>
Evening
<lanefu>
howdy
<LanDi>
lanefu, it's umounted
<lanefu>
whats lsblk say
<TRS-80>
Do I need to do anything manually to upgrade kernel (on Cubietruck)?
<LanDi>
lanefu, yes, looks like it's write protected, but how can I remove this?
<lanefu>
look at the device name
<lanefu>
`sda`
<lanefu>
so why is is showing as sda in dmesg and then sdb in lsblk
<LanDi>
lanefu, I changed the pc
<LanDi>
thats why the device name changed
<LanDi>
sorry
<lanefu>
yeah not helpful
<LanDi>
forgot to say that
<LanDi>
it's plugged back in my banana pi, I was trying to format it on my arch box
<lanefu>
anyway not sure what to do on write protect... either there's some sort of physical thing going on, or some sort of magic you need to do
<lanefu>
cleary not anythig armbian specific
<LanDi>
i see, but it started with all of this running on armbian
<LanDi>
that's why I came here
<LanDi>
but I will keep searching
<lanefu>
yeah sorry let us know what you figure out
<TRS-80>
So, I noticed recently, somehow I am still on very old kernel on my Cubietruck, latest stable download is 5.something, which is way newer.
<TRS-80>
Aand... I do not appear to have armbian-config present? Not sure what is going on here. :/
<TRS-80>
Reading through forum in meantime, no ideas yet. Should I make a forum post instead?
ChriChri_ has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
TRS-80: install armbian-config I imagine you were principled and chose to use a minimal image
<lanefu>
also armbianmonitor -u
<TRS-80>
I think yeah it was Debian stable server image IIRC? Sound right?
<TRS-80>
I thought they all had armbian-config though?
ChriChri has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
ChriChri_ is now known as ChriChri
<TRS-80>
So, I do need to manual change kernel using armbian-config then? It doesn't just upgrade like regular Debian?
<TRS-80>
OK, yeah, so armbian-config was /not/ installed after all (it is now). Thanks lanefu
<TRS-80>
OK, so it download 60 packages and now I have a long list of kernels. Hmm. This is the normal way (sorry if that's dumb question, I never noticed this before)?
<TRS-80>
Maybe because I re-installed on my ODROIDs along the way, whereas I have been steadily running and upgrading the cubietruck the whole time.
<lanefu>
armbianmonitor -u plz
<TRS-80>
ok, sorry
<TRS-80>
I should do armbianmonitor with sudo? I got some permission errors.
<TRS-80>
So, can I just pick latest stable in armbian-config and be off t ot he races? Or anything else I need to do? Upgrade to some intermediate kernel first perhaps?
<lanefu>
dunno if intermediat step... uhmm 80% chance it works
<TRS-80>
There was a really long time where I did not upgrade Debian, probably how this happened I am guessing.
<lanefu>
for kernel types do you see -current and -dev options?
<TRS-80>
yes I do
<lanefu>
go with -current
<lanefu>
and i guess the newest 5.8 kernel
<TRS-80>
There are a lot of choices. Corrent, dev, and legacy.
<lanefu>
1 sec
<TRS-80>
Yeah current is 5.8.16
<TRS-80>
Pretty sure I don't want legacy, this has always been a server. That's for like graphics usually, right?
archetech has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<lanefu>
choose current
<lanefu>
do that one
<TRS-80>
OK, what are chances of success? :D
<lanefu>
80%
<TRS-80>
This is "production" box
<lanefu>
sweet so it's backed up then
<TRS-80>
I will back up my Prosody (XMPP server) config, just in case. That's the only real service I need to keep up (other people use it).
<TRS-80>
BTW, main Internet went down here, I flashed router with OpenWrt then connected my cell phone to it via USB tethering as a backup connection. I had to request a port forward through my VPN to tunnel through the cellular network to keep the XMPP server up. But I kept it up. :) How am I doing for an amateur? :D
<TRS-80>
Oh, at first I had to tell my users the forwarded (nonstandarx for XMPP) port to put in their clients (because the port number from VPN was assigned, not chosen). But then I figured out how to do SRV records in DNS, and handle that transparently, so they could just connect like normal.
<lanefu>
that's pretty awesome!
<lanefu>
also something that respects SRV records is awesome
<TRS-80>
Probably what you can handle before even having coffee, but for me I was pretty happy with myself. lol
<TRS-80>
OK I'm taking the plunge on this cubietruck, brb
<lanefu>
🤘
<TRS-80>
Oh yeah fark, forgot there are certs and probably other stuff, too. Ahh f it. Here, hold my beer.
<lanefu>
that's the spirit
<TRS-80>
:D
<TRS-80>
I usually take detailed notes, etc. and move very methodical. But after dickering with the network and XMPP stuff for couple days, I'm worn out from it.

<mike64>
Trying to figure out how to troubleshoot this: I installed Armbian_20.05.2_OrangePi2_buster_current_5.4.43.img. I was successful. I installed the default desktop and ran startxfce4 and was sucessfull and had XFCE running. Upon restart I cannot boot.
<lanefu>
can't boot? or no display
<mike64>
no display might be more accurate
<lanefu>
also is this an old install? newer images exist
<mike64>
newer download comes up expired ssl cert
<mike64>
and ys it is older
<lanefu>
can you show me the link that gives you ssl error
<mike64>
well now it is working. I swear it wasn't an hour ago
<lanefu>
mike64: the image download roundrobins to different mirrors
<TRS-80>
It wouldn't come back up on network. After trying everything, I finally had to cycle power. Now I think I am booted into... I dunno what. Debian GNU/Linux 7 it says?!
<lanefu>
sounds like one of htem was lame
<TRS-80>
Got a boot loop at first with SD card ion, so I removed it. Now I think somehow I'm booted using old bootloader or something like that
<mike64>
I will try with the new image. but any idea as to why when I upgraded to install the desktop I could use it until I resarted? I don't even know honestly how to start diagnosing that.
<lanefu>
TRS-80: yeah dude you're running debian jessie... so that sounds like gnu linux 7 to me
<lanefu>
mike64: honestly those scripts are probably crusty.. you're better off downloading a desktop image
<lanefu>
it should be using lightdm as teh display manager service rather than startxfce4
<lanefu>
TRS-80: uname -a
<TRS-80>
I guess I thought I was in wrong OS somehow, because none of logins seemes to work. But I am mixing this up with ODROID. There is only sdcard here IIRC
<mike64>
I'll try the current desktop image. Thanks
<TRS-80>
I am using this crappy keyboard, lol, let me try login again
<lanefu>
mike64: cool.. so to set expectations... that's going to be an unaccelerated desktop... so performance isn't going to be great
<Tonymac32>
what machine is this Lanefu made you break?
<mike64>
what options are there to accelerate if needed (though I don't think that will be too necessary for ,jat I plan to use it)
<TRS-80>
cubietruck
<TRS-80>
not taking any logins, weird
<lanefu>
for video playback, a purpose built image of like libreelec probably best
<lanefu>
mike64: alternatively one of our archived "legacy" images with the nasty 3.x kernel has some acceleration
<TRS-80>
I am on tty1, there is no graphical environment, should still be able to log in right?
<lanefu>
TRS-80: yep. what about ssh?
<mike64>
lanefu: I'm abtually looking to use it for a midi synth so any advise or leads on good rt kernels and such would be much appreciated
<TRS-80>
well lemme try again
<lanefu>
mike64: oh cool.
<lanefu>
i built a RT kernel a while back for an h3
<lanefu>
lemme glance at something
<Tonymac32>
lanefu was playing with RT patches, eh?
<TRS-80>
WTF, I cannot log in my normal user nor root even?!
<lanefu>
yeah it was likea year ago but i droped it in there
<TRS-80>
I can ssh now, but not log in
<lanefu>
TRS-80: maybe need to update locales or reconfigure keyboard
<TRS-80>
which is why I bust out old keybaord and hook up hdmi in the first place, but that no wor either
<lanefu>
oh you can connet, but can't ssh in?
<TRS-80>
I connect via ssh but cannot log in
<TRS-80>
not taking passwords
<TRS-80>
weird
<TRS-80>
for my user nor root
<lanefu>
yeah hella weird
<lanefu>
did your xmpp relay launch?
<TRS-80>
I don't think so
<lanefu>
hmm
<TRS-80>
something is borked
<lanefu>
so i guess it's 80% operational? 😬
<TRS-80>
I dunno
<TRS-80>
what %, so might as well be 0

<TRS-80>
I hope there are more ideas short of reinstallation :/
<lanefu>
can you stick sdcard in usb reader, and mount and chroot it on your odroid
<TRS-80>
or on this computer?
<TRS-80>
or its better from armbian?
<lanefu>
ideally another arm32 device
<TRS-80>
ok
<TRS-80>
chroot or just mount?
<lanefu>
cuz you know.... ELFs are picky
<lanefu>
both
<TRS-80>
I don't know shit, that's the problem XD
<mike64>
lanefu, you wouldn't happen to know where I might find that H3 rt kernel do you?
<lanefu>
mike64: probably not floatign around anywhere.... depending on your motivation, the armbian build tools are fairly easy to work with. You can use them to build a kernel (OR AN IMAGE)... and basically drop teh RT-Linux patches in teh appropriate patch folder and cross your fingers https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/
* Tonymac32
is building a Renegade image to see how it goes
<TRS-80>
Now bootloop with sdcard in, I don't get it.
<TRS-80>
I could have swore I booted without sdcard, but maybe I'm going crazy.
<TRS-80>
trying that now again
<lanefu>
TRS-80: ohhhhhhh hrughfamsdf asdf does that have emmc?
<TRS-80>
I don't even remember now
<mike64>
thanks I'm motivated and willing to learn new things.
<TRS-80>
yeah it must because booting
<Tonymac32>
so toasted SD card, old AF image on eMMC
<TRS-80>
But why did I have sd card in? Surely I would have been running off EMMC?
<TRS-80>
system I mean
<Tonymac32>
*shrugs*
<TRS-80>
guess not though
<Tonymac32>
I dunno, I'm debating going to the mountains for the next 6 months or so and only coming out after people calm down
<lanefu>
mike64: yeah play with builder and get a little familiar with it.. try building a working image... then check back in and let me know how it's goin
<Tonymac32>
but then again I'm from the mountains
<lanefu>
there's fraud in the mountains too
<lanefu>
fake snow
<Tonymac32>
ROFL
<TRS-80>
Tonymac32: that thought already crossed my mind (toasted sdcard that is, although moutains sound good too lol) because this was first thing I ever put Armbian on, and it's been few years now on this sd card
<lanefu>
at every ski resort
<Tonymac32>
there aren't enough people there for it to matter
<lanefu>
also is that seriously an option for you?
<Tonymac32>
I have family in the hills and I am on permanent work from hom and the kids are home schooled
<TRS-80>
Any guesses what default login is on old cubietruck image?
<Tonymac32>
so yeah actually

let's not talk about how immunity works, we all know, just a lot of people don't want to realize the ugly reality we're facing
<lanefu>
yeah wife's job isn't going back to march at earliest
<Tonymac32>
yeah it's a bit bonkers
<Tonymac32>
I do need the lab sometimes
<lanefu>
my office is teh same way, but managers sometimes come in on wed to hang out and not go crazy
<Tonymac32>
although I was able to build a makeshift one in my basement because autistic nerd reasons
<Tonymac32>
:-/
<lanefu>
lol
<lanefu>
it would have been worse if you tried to stop yourself
<Tonymac32>
you should hear me try to talk in person when it's important. It's bad

can I enabable ssh for headless first boot by putting a file named ssh in /boot?

rofl wow
<Tonymac32>
um
<Tonymac32>
Lane, we've talked about this
<mike64>
so I just need to add wpa_supplicant so I can connect through my wifi?
<lanefu>
sorry i'm getting a little punchy
<mike64>
(I approve of that comment its a PITA)
<lanefu>
mike64: actually armbian first boot supports a wifi config
<Tonymac32>
right but you do have to add that somehow, I've never done it
<Tonymac32>
it's a text file correct
<lanefu>
write image to something, mount it on a linux box
* archetech
is upgrading OpenCore for last update to Big Sur OSX
<Tonymac32>
right right
<Tonymac32>
archetech if you use anything with a Silab or Cypress USB --> Uart dont
<archetech>
cuz I'm RICIN baby
<lanefu>
and edit /boot/armbian_first_run.txt.template and follow the instructions in thre
<Tonymac32>
lol
<lanefu>
which instruction 1 is copy it to /boot/armbian_first_run.txt
<lanefu>
anyway you can put your wifi stuff in there
<Tonymac32>
so Apple being Apple borked their driver model and a lot of vendors haven't caught up with their siezure of self-entitlement

<archetech>
uart
<mike64>
wow that's really easy I didn't realize that. I feel like the documentation doesn't talk about the first run script very well to make that clear...
<Tonymac32>
not saying don't upgrade, just cautioning to check the devices you need to have work to make sure first
<Tonymac32>
mike64 I agree, but I spend all my time talking on IRC so I can't update the docs...
<Tonymac32>
:D
* Tonymac32
has actually never used the thing, so would not be the person to write the manual
<archetech>
plus no uart on osx

also noticed he is marked *away*

yeah.. you got a Cabin Lewis and Clark stayed in or somthing?
<Tonymac32>
uh, I grew up in a farmhouse build at the beginning of the 19th century

<lanefu>
nice.... yeah the uhmm really old houses were kinda burned in the civial war here
<Tonymac32>
:D
<Tonymac32>
yeahhhh
<Tonymac32>
again, in the mountains
<Tonymac32>
wars dont get fought in mountains too much
<Tonymac32>
not big ones
<lanefu>
yeah hell no
<Tonymac32>
not when they can go around them
<Tonymac32>
to places like Gettysburg
<Tonymac32>
Now if everyone involved lives in mountains it's different
<Tonymac32>
:/
<lanefu>
that's just fuedin'
<mike64>
wow that's really easy I didn't realize that. I feel like the documentation doesn't talk about the first run script very well to make that clear...
* Tonymac32
just heard an echo
<lanefu>
maybe an arrow key on a macbook keyboard
<mike64>
sorry......Well I added wifi on and my ssid info i'm trying to ssh root@orangepi2 but i keep getting no route to host.... is there something I'm missing or would this be failure?
<lanefu>
probably should just check your dhcp server
<lanefu>
and see if it got a lease
<Tonymac32>
yeah I always just look for the IP
<lanefu>
also.. give it a little time.. because it does do a filesytem resize and reboot
<lanefu>
so depending on yoru sdcard size...
<Tonymac32>
name resolution is hit or miss on everything I've ever had, exception being a 10-user Cisco router I had 100 machines tied to

* Tonymac32
has to say it's not real ECC though
<Tonymac32>
the SoC doesn't support it

so it's going to be insanely complex RAM

if they pull it off it will be cool though

yeah just use a next-gen file sytem to detect your bitrot

Thanks for the insights. It feels pretty cool to get in to all that and fix the problems without ever having to plug anything into it. Using the current desktop image worked. Thanks again!

What did you think the ECC was for? :)

Tonymac32: I have actually been following the saga
<Tonymac32>
I figured
<Tonymac32>
but for the other kids it's best to be thorough
<TRS-80>
I needed to download an Apple II emulator for something the other week (month?) and I think I was having more fun refreshing my memory of how to write BASIC. :D

it was to the point

I finally got around to installing OpenWrt
<TRS-80>
Oh yeah, and just began playing with Docker finally. I did not realize it's available right in Debian repos.
<Tonymac32>
I haven't gotten there, I need to
<TRS-80>
which?
<Tonymac32>
Docker
<TRS-80>
It's actually quite easier than I was expecting. No need to wait.
* Tonymac32
currently watching a lockpicking video because it popped up
<TRS-80>
There are lots of very good intros (including the official ones) that very quickly walk you through the basics
<TRS-80>
apt install docker.io in Debian (I was a bit surprised about that in fact)
<TRS-80>
I decided to take the plunge because more and more, things I seem to want to install are recommending their Docker image as recommended way. The proximate cause this time was Tiny Tiny RSS. But there have been others.

<rneese>
to bad there is no way to do voice chat on here
<rneese>
and I do wish we where more on discord where we could do more like post pics and file share alot easier
* lanefu
happier without voicechat
<lanefu>
might be worth exploring a matrix bridge or something
<rneese>
yeah
<rneese>
they make a bot
<rneese>
ok well have fun I am going to get working on code
<rneese>
but I like discord as you can post pics right to a person and not have to use a web site
<rneese>
does anyone know is with armbian loaded does the n2/n2+ boot from usb or do yo uhave to have a sd set to boot first ?
<lanefu>
rneese: have to boot from SD or flip that switch and use petitboot on SPI to then boot from usb
<rneese>
ok
<lanefu>
be aware that i wouldnt attach any unpowered storage on to odroid USB as its shirt
<lanefu>
shit
<lanefu>
s/shit/unreliable/

ot would be cool
<rneese>
but I can not find any pet computer cases that dont cost arm and leg
<TRS-80>
3d print replica?
<TRS-80>
Probably too big. Can you do in pieces and assemble?

I will have to design a unit

Sounds like good fodder for a forum post. :) Much more reach there for potential discussion, I think (not everyone hangs out in IRC).

Especially if you end up actually making something (pics or it didn't happen, etc.).

seconds lanefu, Odroid + unpowered storage = shit, erm, unreliable. Just not enough power on these boards, they aren't designed to spec because it raises cost significantly to offer up "True" USB ports
redentor has quit [Quit: Leaving]
* Tonymac32
will also comment that the same goes for almost every single SBC
<Tonymac32>
rneese what is a case
<Tonymac32>
:D
* Tonymac32
just bought a pile of cheap acrylic + standoff + fan ones because they were laying everywhere unprotected
<TRS-80>
You come here in daytime now? :D
<Tonymac32>
sometimes, I'm on lunch break from day job
<TRS-80>
I guess since you work from home?
<Tonymac32>
yep
* TRS-80
has to go back to work soon
* Tonymac32
remembers TRS-80 saying he doesnt work
<TRS-80>
Also, I use my (quite large) Corsair (750D?) case for my main workstation as well as a couple SBCs as well as a number of HDDs. Works a treat.
<Tonymac32>
nice
<TRS-80>
Well, I "work" on things every day. That are relevant to my interests. Just not on the hamster wheel of late stage capitalism, if you get my drift (which is a sucker's bet, IMO).
<TRS-80>
We keep our expenses extremely low, but I do need to head back out and make some more money to get us over the finish line to the end goal of owning some land out in the boonies.
<Tonymac32>
and yeah, I'm settling my debts before embarking on a similar quest
<TRS-80>
I did buy a few years ago a super cute original NES replica mini case to put the living room RPi into. Gf loved it (I gave it to her as a gift) but then I could not fit the HifiBerry AMP2 into it without modifying the case, and so now we are back to some generic cheap acryllic case that fits the HifiBerry (but does showcase the hardware, which is neat).
<TRS-80>
the hills of WV are definitely on my short list
<TRS-80>
not even joking
<Tonymac32>
I have their metal case from years back
<Tonymac32>
I think they still sell it but $$
<Tonymac32>
ah but mine is just the DAC, not the AMP
<TRS-80>
in the meantime, my cheap Chinese knock off of same also arrived, but I haven't had time to play with it yet

@ameridroidSBC (ameriDroid.com): Updated Armbian available for the ODROID-C2 https://t.co/ZB6kADBLB8 #Armbian #ODROID #ODROIDC2 #C2 #Linux (18s ago)
<rneese>
the twirrter bot needs updated ingo c2 has had armbian for some time
<rneese>
We'd like to remind our community that the ODROID-C2 will be discontinued sometime in 2021, likely during the first half of the year. Therefore, we recommend switching development to the ODROID-C4 if the same form factor and SoC family is desired. Otherwise, contact us to discuss options and recommendations!

<lanefu>
amazing
<lanefu>
Raised 4,061.00 EUR of 6,400.00 EUR target
<Werner>
Indeed
<TRS-80>
I was a bit surprised about that myself
<TRS-80>
IgorPec years long bitching campaign about lack of support is paying off :D
<TRS-80>
which, I suppse, is one of your role as founder, so good job :)
<IgorPec>
hey
<TRS-80>
just teasing you mate, it's necessary
<IgorPec>
yeah, at least some tooling we need to buy on our hand :)
<IgorPec>
completly
<IgorPec>
but its over expectaions, progressing nicely
<TRS-80>
pleasantly surprised, clearly there appears to be some silent majority
<IgorPec>
surprisingly a lot are those we never heart off
<IgorPec>
heard
<TRS-80>
is it lots of small donation? with a few bigger ones mixed in? that's what I would expect
<IgorPec>
i think next campaign will be for power bill :)
<Werner>
Haha
<IgorPec>
i assume it will be additional 200 EUR per year :)
<TRS-80>
maybe phrase that in terms of monthly/yearly support
<TRS-80>
oh I get it, lol
<IgorPec>
current server tops 350W this one over 600
<TRS-80>
ouch
<TRS-80>
you live in cold climate I hope? lol
<IgorPec>
moderate, yeah
<TRS-80>
reminds me of KGPE-D16 I bought for freedom reasons, it idles at hundreds of watts, totally unsuitable for server to be on all the time, so now I use it as my workstation
<IgorPec>
currently its something like this, just not that old
<IgorPec>
dual 2011-3 socket
<IgorPec>
idles below 100 W
<IgorPec>
but no hard drives or graphics cards
<TRS-80>
yeah I bought becuae libreboot, it's the most recent hardware from Intel or AMD that does not have any backdoors present in firmware (even though apparently the IME has been neutralized in the meantime as I understand)
<TRS-80>
the high power usage is because of libreboot and lack of optimizations as I am sure you can appreciate
<IgorPec>
got it
<TRS-80>
I had no idea about any of that back then, lol, but that fiasco is what led me to Armbian
<IgorPec>
interesting path
<TRS-80>
and now I enjoy a multiple power sipping SBCs doing various things around here and am very happy with
<IgorPec>
we should make a survey "why are you using armbian"
<IgorPec>
or how did you get here
<TRS-80>
yeah I was going to say the latter
<TRS-80>
maybe a forum post, more free form
<IgorPec>
perhaps forum has some special ways
<TRS-80>
I always find survey options stifling or somehow not representative
<IgorPec>
otherwise forum topic is just fine
<Werner>
Not much options but normal poll
<IgorPec>
but in that case we have to provide something
* lanefu
waves
<TRS-80>
Ohai!
<TRS-80>
I haven't wanted to bother you guys, but any ideas on the UART message I posted? Or should I just get on with re-installation? lol
<TRS-80>
esp lanefu, I figure you are at work or something
<TRS-80>
you don't need to hide from me, I hate to impose :D
<lanefu>
TRS-80:i think need to steal a boot.cmd from a newer image
<c0rnelius>
where you been hiding?
<TRS-80>
Who me? in my internet connected bunker
<c0rnelius>
oh good times
* lanefu
wants internet connected tree house
<lanefu>
well i proved out wifi coverage already i guess
<TRS-80>
lanefu: yeah I'm a bit out of my depth there, any pointers appreciated (here or in my thread; the latter perhaps helping others although I am not sure it might be too specific case)
