01:36 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> nekomancer[m] they can't. Unless you make a new board family for the odd kernel

02:52 <stipa> something is fishy with the mirrors, i can't update&upgrade completely

02:52 <stipa> seems like thy're not accesible

02:57 <stipa> some are, some aren't

03:06 <stipa> switching to https://imola.armbian.com/apt in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list kinda fixed it i guess

03:44 <Armbian-Discord> <M​angix> where was the place to add kernel parameters for armbian?

06:58 <mystified> Hey guys, first time here.

07:01 <mystified> Just curious I have an old android phone with a brocken screen thats no in use. I have purchased a replacement er for a fairscreen, but I ended up purchasing a new phone. So I'm looking at options how to put it to use, I waas thinking possibly as media server for almost dumb tv. this is the processor on the phone are you guysa ble to share your thoughts.

07:01 <mystified> 95% of my time is on linux

07:02 <mystified> oops

07:02 <mystified> ignore that

09:20 <schwarz_Kat> mystified: I'm certainly not a phone expert, but I suspect that it would possibly be a somewhat difficult/impossible task to get a SBC style OS running on a phone.

09:20 <schwarz_Kat> I think that your big problems will be to find or create a device tree, and kernel and boot software with drivers for that hardware. Then it's a phone, and they tend to have have very different boot methods to your average SBC.

09:20 <schwarz_Kat> You could try groups that specialise in alternate Android/phone builds, perhaps there is something that you can use.

09:30 <mystified> thanks

09:40 <schwarz_Kat> mystified: If you do find a group specialising in Linux for phones, let us know. I have a fair number of old semi working phones lying around. Good luck.

09:50 <Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> mystified: That one, being a Snapdragon 430, I have no experience with. But I do have Snapdragons 865 running on Armbian. I recommend looking for it at postmarketOS first. If anyone, they will know.

09:50 <Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> eg, might it be this? https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Motorola_Moto_G5s_(motorola-montana)

11:29 <IgorPec> aasami_: none of those desktops are supported as they don't have maintainers. they might work or not

14:09 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> merry Friday!

14:33 <aasami_> IgorPec: At least i3 should work with xfce to make it useable fpr daily work of professionals ad KDE does. But I first have to work on XFCE to start on bulleye and then I go on with i3.

15:00 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> you can make i3 working and i know people suceeded to install it perfectly on top of armbian CLI. But we are unable to provide fully working i3 desktop since there is nobody that will finish remaining bugs and keep it from breaking. its probably small things, but again, someone has to invest time. We have plenty of other problems to solve

16:05 <Armbian-Discord> <N​icoD> And a merry Friday it is 🙂 It is new guitar day. Woohoo, new toy to play with.

16:23 <Armbian-Discord> <N​icoD> I have never in my life tried i3 and wouldn't know how it looks. So maybe a new challenge for a new video... Still working on the x86 armbian build server with armbian video. I had so many issue's. But a good thing I know a good dev who fixes everything I come upon 🙂

16:34 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> i3 with armbian is totally unfinished

18:30 <Armbian-Discord> <N​icoD> That is why I called it a challenge 🙂

19:13 <prahal> mangix: /boot/boot.scr that you generate from /boot/boot.cmd

19:28 <Armbian-Discord> <M​angix> Nope. Needs to be armbianEnv.txt

20:00 <yang> If anyone has some time available this weekend and is interested in the topics, there will be a live conference streaming from Libreplanet https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Main_Page
