<DC-IRC> [Discord] <yicha007> hi, i have rock pi 4se, how do i setup it with headless? i dont have ethernet cable and keyboard. only a mouse, power cable, microsd and a monitor
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> how exactly are you planning to control it without a network connection or input method?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <yicha007> i think it might be possible to manually set up wifi information inside the sd card
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> it is, i wrote the docs on it :)
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> beat me to it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <yicha007> alr thanks, ill take a look at it 😄
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> Wi-Fi can be a little funky, and the entire script needs rewriting but it should work at present
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> Seems like the cm3588 NAS community build of Ubuntu with gnome might be broken. I can't get it to flash without an error.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> Is there somewhere I can access older builds?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> What error
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> When writing it with etcher it either fails to write, or if it does succeed it drops me to initramfs. I don't have the error handy anymore but I can see if I can replicate it.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> IDK if it will help me though bc I'm trying to install zfs and it looks like I need to run on an older kernel (6.13 or earlier)
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <mecoblock> that’s most likely the etcher image writing bug. Try usbimager instead
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> hmm my sd cards don't show up in usbimager
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Windows?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> yes
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Try diskpart clean
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> tried that
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> It shows in diskpart normally?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> yep
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> and it succeeded in cleaning. tried with two different sd cards
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Try to create a partition on it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> created a ntfs partition fine
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Still nothing in usbimager?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Try rufus
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> ooo it shows up now
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> neato
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Yeah happens sometimes
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> thanks for the help!
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Diskpart clean > create partition
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> Gotta run to the store while this flashes, hopefully no error messages when I get back and I'll be able to boot.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> It seems like since I installed armbian to the EMMC on my cm3588, it doesn't want to boot from the sd card anymore
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Check uboot
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> How do I do that? Is it in the file system?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Im no expert. I would check with "armbian-install" first
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> Uart is another way, but since you can boot armbian emmc, there must be something easier inside armbian then uart
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <jused> Ok cool I’ll do some google-fu
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <gospod13337> You would like to boot armbian from sdcard instead of emmc?
