00:34 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> hey you can't retire yet

00:35 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> I'm trying to figure out how to get gdm3 to work in headless mode b/c rn nothing will show up in nomachine unless the HDMI port on the sbc is occupied

00:38 <javabean> it is not uncommon to see hdmi "dummy plugs" used on servers... well "servers" because it depends on what hardware is used

00:48 <c0rnelius> why would u need gdm3 on a headless device?

02:36 <mlu> the heaadless horseman does not need a hat

02:44 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> I can't... sounds like a miss understanding somewhere.

02:45 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> misunderstanding* even

02:45 <mlu> gundam 3 :D

02:47 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> I mean even if you needed the headless device to auto login there is no need for a graphical interface to achieve it.

02:50 <mlu> ut you can have a cursed setup :D

02:52 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> gonna assume I'm missing vital info.

02:53 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> I mean without gdm3 how will I have a gui?

02:56 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> You said `I'm trying to figure out how to get gdm3 to work in headless mode` Thats an oxymoron. So you do need a head and trying to achieve auto-login?

02:57 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> Does headless not mean w/o peripherals like a monitor?

02:58 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> headless means no monitor. basically.

02:58 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> Yeah exactly

02:58 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> no display

02:58 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> so why would we need a graphical desktop manager for a headless device is what I am asking?

02:58 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> I want to be able to remote into the SBC and have a GUI, just don't need it to output video via HDMI constantly

02:59 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> ah gotcha

03:00 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> what DE are you trying to get loaded?

03:01 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> Whats the end game..? Is this some full blown DE or could say openbox with the some basic apps and whatnot be good enough?

03:09 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> So this is the basics of an autologin setup... no gui required here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/401759/automatically-login-on-debian-9-2-1-command-line From there we can force a GUI to start and load whatever you want really. The easiest would be something like openbox as you can control what loads with OB in the autostart script.

03:10 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> everything from gvfs to xfce backends... etc.

03:16 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> So I have a board that after boot, then logs in. I use a `.bash_profile` to push my agenda ```

03:16 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> source ~/.bashrc

03:16 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

03:16 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && startx

03:16 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> ```

03:19 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> It's full on gnome

03:19 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> I then have the script run this: https://paste.debian.net/1280135/ which could just as easily start any service you wanted.

03:19 <DC-IRC> <c0rnelius> I see

03:20 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> If the dummy HDMIs don't end up working, I'll try out your suggestions

03:20 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> At this point I just want something working as quickly as possible lol

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> I have i2c code that access via the /dev/i2c-0 and it works in Raspberry Pi. I would like to know why it does not work in OrangePi 3 LTS bullseye. The code is written in golang

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> ```package main

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> import (

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> "golang.org/x/exp/io/i2c"

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> )

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> func main() {

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> d, err := i2c.Open(&i2c.Devfs{Dev: "/dev/i2c-0"}, 0x30)

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> if err != nil {

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> panic(err)

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> }

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> _ = d

09:15 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> }```

09:20 <DC-IRC> <EfeCTN> Do you have a permission

09:22 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> How do it give permission?

10:30 <DC-IRC> <EfeCTN> Follow udev solution https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/4468/i2c-group-on-arch

10:43 <DC-IRC> <AlbertK> Thanks. One more question. Why is it in armbian without enabling the i2c0, there is already 3 i2c present (OrangePi 3 LTS).

10:48 <DC-IRC> <EfeCTN> You need to add/use overlays

11:38 <DC-IRC> <boz> Does a dtb editor exist these days or is it still modified through a text editor?

11:39 <archetech> edit then compile

12:19 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @TGVoid: if you are ssh forwarded or x11 into your session you should be able to use this

12:19 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> cat <<EOF > ~/.xsessionrc

12:19 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> export GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu

12:19 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=ubuntu:GNOME

12:19 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg

12:19 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> EOF

12:20 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> put that into your users xsessionrc

12:20 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (if ubuntu)... change ubuntu to debian paths if using debian based armbian

12:21 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> then startx should run gnome

12:21 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (in theory.. I haven't used this in years... I prefer xfce... much lighter)

14:52 <DC-IRC> <boz> Have there been any exciting armbian news lately? What is the current status on panfrost and lima?

15:10 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> on what hardware?

15:10 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @boz

15:33 <DC-IRC> <boz> bananapi m5 or any other sbc based on the same cpu

15:33 <DC-IRC> <boz> @Tenkawa

16:08 <DC-IRC> <IgorPec> https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-leaflet-6/

16:44 <DC-IRC> <Jason123> @TGVoid try using like vnc or rdp

16:44 <DC-IRC> <Jason123> i used rdp on my raspberry pi zero and it works fine

17:00 <DC-IRC> <TGVoid> I gave up on VNC and RDP

17:12 <DC-IRC> <NicoD> @TGVoid If you want to do it headless then I advice to plug in a HDMI capture device. They can be bought for 10euro. I've got some setups that do work headless. But some just don't work. Like my old x86 pc with Armbian Jammy. So I've got an HDMI capture device plugged in for that. It's kind of a cheat. But it works...

17:49 <DC-IRC> <boz> Has anyone tried finding a cheap KVM? All the devices listed on amazon aren't even KVMs they are just usb/hdmi switches but they are all labeled as kvms ...

18:02 <DC-IRC> <IgorPec> i have https://amzn.to/3o13dED + hdmi grabber / pikvm

18:12 <DC-IRC> <Fabricioguzzy> Hello Every1 - I am looking for instructions on how to install the latest distro available for my "Orange Pi Plus 2" - I got the pre-compiled version of armbian from the web site but that doesn't work fine. USB ports were not detected. Actually, most of the new distros/images cause the same issue (USB doesn't work) - Can anybody help on this matter, plz? Thanks Much!

18:13 <DC-IRC> <Fabricioguzzy> This is my Orange pi board

18:13 <DC-IRC> <Fabricioguzzy> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/857944478269702214/1107007655299522600/image.png

18:13 <DC-IRC> <Fabricioguzzy> and was trying to use the images I got from here --> https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2/

21:23 <stipa> have you tried any of Rolling releases on the bottom of the page ?
