04:18 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ave> I have set up the URL listing for you. https://mirror.ai.moda/armbian/apt/

10:15 <mr_claus> Hi, i just tried to use the latest image on a Raspi3 booting without an inserted SD card but it seems the PI is not able to identify the filesystem for booting. The difference to RaspiOS is the used filesystem. Armbian is using EFI, i have read it should work also with EFI but that's the only difference i identifed.

10:23 <mr_claus> Just found this statement "Note: Do not try to use GPT for the partition scheme or 0xef (EFI System Partition) for the type, as these are unsupported by the CPU-embedded bootloader."

12:00 <Herc> rpi needs a FAT formated 1st partition indeed

12:01 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> which image you are trying? they must boot

12:55 <mr_claus> latest jammy image provides GPT and a ef partition which was not found during the boot process. Bullseye would be nice but it's even not possible to compile it, probably because RPI support is brand new?

12:56 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> that bug was fixes, but perhaps images needs to be rebuilt

12:56 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> use automated community images

12:57 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> bullseye is not supported because we re-use flashing utils from ubuntu which are half broken in debian

12:58 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> when we will move flashing to our standard tools, but time is always an issue

13:00 <mr_claus> flashing utils are mtd-utils?

13:00 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> no no

13:02 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> debian / ubuntu has its own flash-kernel or something package to cover flashing scenarios for varios hw

13:02 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> we store flashing instructions with each u-boot package

13:16 <Herc> btw, just out of curiosity I flashed the latest rpi4b img, it works fine on a rpi4b 4GB

13:16 <Herc> but i dont like ubuntu :(

13:19 <mr_claus> indeed, i prefer Debian, but i will try to use the community image on my rpi3b

13:20 <Herc> were did you get it from? official mirrors dont offer any rpi3 images

13:29 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> rpi3 images = rpi4 image

13:30 <Herc> i c, still only "jammy" images :(

13:30 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> armbian ubuntu is not Ubuntu. Its based on, important packages came from Armbian anyway, snap is removed and most of ubuntu thing

13:32 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> didn't even all mighty RMS recommended some Ubuntu clone as a perfect build?

13:32 <Herc> well, when I tried a jammy img for oc2 recently, firefox insisted to use "snap" for install/update :(

13:33 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> on armbian desktop images this should not be the case

13:33 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> both chromimum and firefox are non snap versions

13:35 <Herc> nvm, none of current the odroidc2 images did boot on my oc2, I had to use Armbian2022-02, k.5.10.yy bullseye from the archives

13:38 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> stabilising builds costs are thausands of hours

13:39 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> and not a single one is comopensated. now feel the frustration

13:39 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> and it still fails ...

13:40 <Herc> meanwhile dist-upgraded to 5.10.147-meson64 #22.08.4 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 7 - works very well

13:42 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> dist upgrade is not critical if kernel / boot loader are not changed

13:43 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> boot loader is manual upgrade in any case ... with new image its upgraded by default

13:43 <Herc> anyways, thx for all your work!

16:33 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> 0xef is an MBR type

16:33 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> GPT in gpart labels it ef01

16:35 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/issues/126

16:36 <Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> You need to use u-boot on the Pi anyway to use UEFI.

16:37 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Two years ago

16:37 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> In other words, just like we requested, it is now possible to boot the Pi 4 from just an ESP, be it GPT or MBR, or be it located on SD or USB

16:37 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Oh, that's a 4.

16:38 <Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> the pi3 can also boot from usb but it needs to be setup to do so. doesn't work out of the box.

16:38 <Armbian-Discord> <M​anoftheSea> Herc had the 4, Claus the 3

16:39 <Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> i haven't done it in forever but something needs to be added to the config.txt to trigger if I recall correctly.

16:47 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Re-introduced a couple Pis to my home setup, both running volumio

16:47 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Pi 2 with the 32 bit SoC

16:49 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Would have been a couple of the tinkers I have all over but Volumio images are epic broken for reasons unknown. Their build strategy is... Interesting sonI:m not debugging for them

19:04 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ave> @IgorPec while Bug is AFK, does this pass your requirements for dictionary listing? 🙂 https://mirror.ai.moda/armbian/apt/dists/

19:08 <Armbian-Discord> <I​gorPec> hey, yes, but it can wait for him, i was sick whole week. have insane big pile of work in front

19:10 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ave> yay, glad it works for armbian. 😄 Quite proud of the free infrastructure my company is starting to offer the OSS community (armbian is the first project we're helping with mirroring).

19:12 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ave> excited to see if I've done a good enough job for this to work well under load 😛

19:22 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> @dave I'll volunteer next week if you two need to do some connectivity testing too

19:23 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> Been needing something to test out my new upgrade with lol

19:23 <Armbian-Discord> <d​ave> that'd be appreciated. Manually forcing https://mirror.ai.moda/armbian/apt/ as your mirror and letting me know how the perf is would be great.

19:25 <Armbian-Discord> <T​enkawa> Will do once I'm back on the home setup (I'm out of the house on my hotspot at the moment... not nearly as nice connection and only a pinebook pro compared to my macbook pro at home lol)

19:36 <[TheBug]> @dave now need same for armbian/dl and yes should be fine
