00:28 <Armbian-Discord> <l​anefu> Uhh I just got confirmation that the Phytium Supports up to 32gig of ram

03:40 <stipa> kewl

05:40 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> yeah but the images on armbian website are all mainline

10:11 <Armbian-Discord> <l​anefu> Yep. But the kernel packages should be in our apt repo

10:12 <Armbian-Discord> <l​anefu> Kernels are shared among SoC families

12:01 <a__pi> where is the documentation of supported hardware?

12:01 <a__pi> i found in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armbian but not official

12:03 <a__pi> surry found https://www.armbian.com/download/

12:06 <buZz> :)

12:06 <buZz> 'the website' would be my guess too ;)

12:07 <a__pi> already searched but didn't found before

12:07 <a__pi> i were seaching in the docs section :)

12:07 <buZz> np, glad you found it :D

12:22 <lanefu> Things to understand about supported

12:22 <lanefu> https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-supported

12:23 <lanefu> https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/

12:23 <lanefu> A lot of the boards will be removed from downloads soon if there are no maintainers

12:45 <stipa> dpkg: cannot write to log file '/var/log/dpkg.log': No space left on device

12:45 <lanefu> Stipa make sure the cron is executing correctly

12:46 <lanefu> Then the interval can be changed

12:46 <lanefu> Do you have a noisey log somewhere

12:46 <stipa> it shouldn't be, i'll check ,Linux orangepilite2 5.15.1-sunxi64 #trunk.53

12:51 <lanefu> Also could be noise in journald and not log file

12:52 <lanefu> If you ping me tonight or tomorrow I can help. I've seen a few edge cases were log rotation isn't working properly reported but just haven't been able to look or even collect data

12:53 <stipa> i also have some sd card errors or something, i guess it has dead cells

12:53 <stipa> and that log errors

12:54 <stipa> mmc0: Card stuck being busy!

12:54 <stipa> it crashed wifi repeater but os keept on going

12:56 <stipa> and update error

12:56 <stipa> E: Write error - ~LZMAFILE (28: No space left on device)

12:56 <stipa> there's space, it's only that zram is filled

12:57 <stipa> i'll try to find log that's big

13:01 <IgorPec> ~LZMAFILE (28: No space left on device) was reported on forum. no idea what is that

13:02 <stipa> hmm

13:03 <stipa> two things are filling the zram ./atop & ./sysstat

13:05 <stipa> powertop i guess

13:06 <stipa> i'll try without it

13:07 <stipa> yeah, no powertop is running

13:07 <stipa> it runned the boot before

13:07 <stipa> but that doesn't explain why logs are filled, they should have been wiped on the reboot

13:08 <lanefu> Look at the logrotate script

13:11 <stipa> yeah, dang, it's full on reboot

13:13 <stipa> lanefu: i'll check logrotate

13:14 <Armbian-Discord> <l​anefu> Ramlog rotate is separate from logrotate

13:15 <Armbian-Discord> <l​anefu> Separate cron seperate tool

13:20 <stipa> k

13:34 <stipa> so, what

13:35 <stipa> what should i look for, ram logrotate or logrotate ?

13:36 <stipa> i can for start increase SIZE to more in /etc/default/armbian-ramlog

13:41 <stipa> i've increased to zram to 350 MB and now 49MB of it is used on reboot

13:42 <stipa> 400MB *

13:42 <stipa> 400MB *

13:42 <^tinyweasel^> ARM idlers, too, of course

13:43 <^tinyweasel^> anyway, hope to see if things are fun tomorrow, I guess

13:45 <stipa> enoguh hacking for today

13:47 <stipa> but, something is wasting 50 MB i guess, it wasn't like that before

13:48 <stipa> i'll try to update

13:56 <lanefu> ^tinyweasel^: I'm the king of ARM idlers already.

15:29 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> @lanefu wait WHAT

15:29 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> i just compiled the armbian image

15:29 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> selecting legacy

15:29 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> 1 hour later... it had dtb files

15:29 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> not the script.bin

15:30 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> 😩

15:50 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> anyone knows how to get it to build it with the script.bin version?

15:50 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> cant figure out how to do it

16:33 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> If i custom compiled the latest kernel, how do i exclude out the updates? I have 5.15.4 (21.11.0-trunk) and it wants me to update to a different build of that version (21.11.0-trunk.67). Had to compile my own as I needed the binder and ashmem linux drivers for Waydroid/

16:38 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> https://share.dro3m.com/QitI7/nivupOma89.png

16:43 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> https://forum.armbian.com/search/?q=freeze%20kernels&quick=1

16:44 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> Oh thank you

16:46 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> Also if I update it to the next Ubuntu version, will it break anything?

16:46 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> ie for Hirsute to Impish

16:47 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> I'm on a Rock Pi 4b

16:48 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> @IgorPec do you have any idea of how to compile the kernel to have the script.bin instead of dtb files?

16:53 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> 8 years ago i would have

16:54 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> dro3m: can't say for ubuntu upgrades but usually this is safe, since kernel and boot loader is separate from upgrade

16:55 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> this legacy kernel is obsolete. We stayed on them the longest, but at one point we had to let it go. It is expensive to deal with this

16:56 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> There is code in the build system, but you are 100% on your own to get it working. Which means you could spent weeks on it: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/v19.08

16:56 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> the only reason i want the script.bin to be there

16:56 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> is because if i replace it with the android one, the tablet screen works

16:57 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> usually with armbian the tablet screen is black

16:57 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> there is nothing I can help to get this working

16:57 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> and outputs only over the hdmi port

16:57 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> uh rip

16:57 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> well thanks anyways i guess :)

16:57 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> i would very much like that you would understand what you are asking for

17:02 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> but i know that i can't expect that. i can't find words how to explain this without hurting the feelings or / and spending too much time. Forget about this or do exclusively without involving anyone. If you need to spent thousands to save a few it does't wort out. When that happens, we say to stop supporting. Costs doesn't justify benefits. Time is limited.

17:22 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> it makes sense actually

17:22 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> i’m wasting a lot of time on these tablets

17:22 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> they’re just not worth it

17:22 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> like... a damn A10 inside of them

17:37 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> a10 is too slow to be useful for anything. even for some smarthome monitor is just too slow

17:49 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> I ended up changing the version number in the control file I can upgrade ubuntu

20:02 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> anything useful you’d suggest me to use it for?

20:02 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> i installed airplay server on it and it works fine :) so that’s already a nice use of it

20:03 <Armbian-Discord> <a​rianaglande> but i can’t think of anything else

22:26 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> Dumb question, tried to find it on the internet but no luck or I'm blind but, how do I add a kernel parameter?

22:26 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ro3m> I know how to do it in GRUB but I've never used UBoot so.

22:39 <nekomancer[m]> d​ro3m: edit /boot/armbianEnv.ini

23:18 <[TheBug]> in armbian I would thin in ArmbianEnv.txt in /boot

23:18 <[TheBug]> r ini

23:18 <[TheBug]> yeah someo0ne beat me

23:18 <[TheBug]> lol

23:23 <c0rnelius> I would think after all these years you'd just be using extlinux.conf. It does support overlays now.

23:24 <c0rnelius> You can even create a menu and such like grub. But not as fancy.
