Tonymac32, I am leaving as it is, going to continue messing with it another time
<yang>
If I use "armbian-install" it will probably force Jammy over the SD card and that could ruin current setup

[Discord] <narga_64> Speaking of U-Boot, I saw that some devices, like the Nanopi-R5, a newer uboot version (2023-10) is used instead of the ancient 2017-09 one. Does this give any improvements having the latest version?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <narga_64> Or is it like - if it boots, version does not matter since after boot, Linux handles everything by itself anyway?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <narga_64> I'm just trying to understand uboot 😄

[Discord] <Tonymac32> Rockchip U-boot is a dinosaur, most if not all should use mainline, but that's up to the inidvidual maintainer. A board vendor is almost certainly going to use whatever dumpster fire the SoC vendor gives them.

[Discord] <tseplnk> can I install armbian desktop for Orange pi one>
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tseplnk> can I install armbian desktop for Orange pi one?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tseplnk> lite*
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tseplnk> with wi-fi.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <tseplnk> or how do i download raspbian on orange pi lite?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <narga_64> So it's always best to use the latest U-Boot version if at all possible?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> When dealing with mostly mainlined hardware, yes.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> I don't have Github account.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> I avoid using any Microsoft products.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> And it'll take years for them to accept my PR anyways.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> I just want a prebuilt image for my SBC...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> I love free things too, but sometimes I have to do a litle work for it. If you can't stomach a github account I'm afraid there's no other way for you to contribute, and since there isn't even the slightest hint what board this is, even if someone else who's willing to "compromise their values" would want to help out, they can't
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Orange Pi PC...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> It had minimal CLI build...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Now almost all builds are missing...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> I can't comment on support of anything OPi, but build targets change, I think there was a discussion about the minimal builds still being super fat
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> But I might be misremembering
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> At least minimal build had no annoying Espaniol installer...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> I don't speak Spanish...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> ... what?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> But it still changes my language to Spanish when I select US as my region...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> I've never seen anything Spanish in the installer 😄
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> and I select US
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Weird...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> did you select "en_us" or (es_us"
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> did you select "en_us" or "es_us"
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> en_US if I'm not wrong
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> en would give english, es spanish
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Alsoo, is it possible to install Armbian without Ethernet? I have only RTL8192EU WiFi adapter

<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> And kernel module for it is not built-in...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> that would take a device tree change at minimum
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Oh...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> ah, well, it would take drivers, I misunderstood the question
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> anything is possible, but nobody will be making custom OS for you
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> you don't need network to install
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> we made tools so you can DIY
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> I can't DIY on a laptop with broken keyboard and throttling CPU...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> 400MHz...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> so i will waste my afternoon to help you? is that acceptable solution ?: )
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> well, it would just take a really long time 🙂
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> If you want...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> no i don't 😉
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> What if this laptop can put my entire house on fire?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> OMG
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> that's your risk to take, you shouldn't even have it in that case
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Especially the charger without any isolation and protection
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> You having a fire hazard for a laptop isn't my problem 😄
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> What am I supposed to use if I can't even use my SBC?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> use cli image
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> How to connect it to internet?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> RTL8192EU kernel module is missing
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Also
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Why are our conversations publicly visible on Google?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> get a different adapter. This isn't a PC or a Mac, the drivers are hit or miss everywhere, you have to get hardware that fits the drivers, and you need to have reasonable expectations
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> People tried to doxx me recently.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> which conversation? This channel?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> IRC logs I would guess?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> They googled my username and the first thing they saw is website with all logs from IRC channel that mirrors this Discord channel
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> Yeah
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> aha, yeah, logs are public
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> dunno how to tell google not to index it
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Tonymac32> so how did they try to doxx you if they already knew your user name and the log has no personal information in it? Unless you put your home address in a discord chat?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <TuxTheArchUser> I still don't want them to know what hardware do I know, what else do I talk about and stuff...
