00:11 <DC-IRC> <amazingfate> This is the github workflow I'm using to build armbian: https://github.com/amazingfate/armbian-compile-action/blob/main/action.yml

07:45 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> whats the best linux for the rock4c+, having alot of issues with performance or features like video decode/ opengl flat out not working, the most functional image ive used is the official rockchip android 11 build along with 2nd - Armbian_23.05.0-trunk_Rockpi-4cplus_bullseye_current_5.15.101_kde-plasma_desktop

07:59 <DC-IRC> <Werner> Kind a weird to use KDE and complain about performance in the same sentence :D. I suggest to try something more lightweight as DE like XFCE

08:07 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> i have been trying to get those to work using the armbian minimal image and installing the desktop enviroment ontop of that but still have the same issues, is there a ready made build of armbian for the 4cplus with say xfce of a low resource usage DE or would i need to build it myself

08:07 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> i mean its supposed to have 6 cpu cores

08:08 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> surely that can run kde and a 720p video decode, even in software

08:10 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> or should i start with the kde armbian and install a different desktop enviroment ontop and remove kde once ive done that

08:19 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> sorry if its a dumb question but its been really hard to even find the right images to boot this, tempted to return it and just get a raspberry pi somehow, was something like 148 AUD

08:20 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> if anyone can point me towards some support forums or something like that id appreciate it alot

08:33 <DC-IRC> <Werner> In terms of DE processing power is not really the bottleneck if proper hw acceleration is in place but rather memory which is limited to 4GB on RK3399.

08:33 <DC-IRC> <Werner> Community forums are here: https://forum.armbian.com/forum/181-rock-pi-4-series/

08:33 <DC-IRC> <Werner> About hw feature support: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-does-hardware-feature-xy-work-in-old-kernel-but-not-in-more-recent-one

08:41 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> Does boot from MTD flash work on armbian?

08:41 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> else why is the option enabled

08:43 <DC-IRC> <Werner> It works on OPi5 so I assume it works on other devices with spi as well

08:48 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> nope it does not

08:48 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> honestly its odroids fault for shipping a *@&!^@^! propietary firmware

08:48 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> petitboot how about petitno

08:49 <archetech> how bout reading about it

08:50 <archetech> whats the deal with new users wanting arm things to be perfect and easy

08:50 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> Dont put words in my mouth I never said that

08:51 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> I just asked why the option was enabled

08:51 <archetech> p-boot is a great feature id ya know how to use it

08:51 <archetech> if

08:52 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> Yes but its based on kexec

08:52 <archetech> yeah and thats a great thing

08:53 <archetech> pop a sdcard and boot flip the switch boot from hdd/ssd

08:53 <e3ef13f4ff44> how can i disable the first start configurator using userpatches?

08:53 <e3ef13f4ff44> or preseed it

08:59 <DC-IRC> <Werner> Use this: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-image-customization-script

09:04 <DC-IRC> <Werner> Use it to remove `/root/.not_logged_in_yet`

09:08 <e3ef13f4ff44> okay thanks!

09:08 <e3ef13f4ff44> so i have to set up the timezones etc manually then?

09:09 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> Thanks man appreciate it, i dont expect arm to be without its problems and usually use a desktop environment just while setting devices up and testing to see what hardware is capable of, fed it a 4k mp4 file from my dji mini 2 and plays it back flawlessly currently under kde, suprised by that but theyre also mp4 which ive read theres dedicated hardware to support that, then after <clipped message>

09:09 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> that ill usually deploy it knowing its running fast n reliably, just need this lil board to run maybe cpl ipcams and a personal cloud, and pihole aswell if the cloud server n ipcams isnt too much. Got it running stable right now thanks

09:12 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> I had a new debian bookworm for the board, found it on github, but couldnt get much working on that image on the rock4cplus

09:13 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> Although i am learnin more as i go so thats always a positive

09:13 <DC-IRC> <oreo69> Downloading build tools at the moment so i can start makin my own distro

10:58 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @LightIsBright which board you working with?

10:59 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> I assume Odroid's offhand since you mentioned Petitboot

11:02 <DC-IRC> <LightIsBright> Odroid m1

11:19 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> Well we've full kernel support for the MTD device, so `/dev/mtdblockX` is available, which triggers the option being available in `armbian-install`.

11:19 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> For ODROID-M1, we're not building nor shipping u-boot yet, so we're counting on the factory-SPI uboot working.

11:19 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> BTW would be nice if people with experience building ATF for the 3568 and the m1 uboot could implement those so we can de-infest the M1 from Petitboot as well.

11:34 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> @rpardini I'll dig mine out later when I get home and see how its built and see what I can determine

11:35 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> Yeah that'd be nice. I'm stuck back in time when we had no `PLAT` for 3568. Dunno if it's upstreamed, or some hero did it on its own...

11:35 <DC-IRC> <gambl0r> deinfest, lol

11:35 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> heheh

11:36 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> yeah ODROID stuff is nice, but comes infested with that stuff. We've de-infestation procedures & blobs ready for HC4, N2+, etc, but not the M1 yet.

11:36 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> To this day I've yet to see Petitboot nor Oowow on the Khadas side.. been able to replace them both

11:37 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> oowow (and m1's petitboot) is not as horrible as the petitboot on meson64... since those actually defer to bootscripts/extlinux or even post-SPL uboot on SD card.

11:37 <DC-IRC> <rpardini> oowow (and m1's petitboot) is not as horrible as the petitboot on meson64... since those actually defer to bootscripts/extlinux or even post-SPL uboot on SD/eMMC card.

11:38 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> heh

15:39 <Nardol> Hello all :)

15:42 <Nardol> I read Armbian 23.05 has been released some days ago now. I use Armbian on an Odroid N2+, actually with Bulseye. But until now I still have not any package update to 23.05. Is there something I did not understand? I use my own miror which is up to date, I also tested with apt.armbian.com to be sure but with the same result, no update at all

15:47 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> nardol: https://discord.com/channels/854735915313659944/854735915313659948/1113534081695756448

15:47 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> oops

15:47 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> you probably didn't get the link did you?

15:48 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> it was in the announcements channel...

15:49 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Just a quick heads-up.

15:49 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> While we successfully released tons of fresh images our apt repositories are not up-to-date. Therefore you will not get the new version with apt upgrade yet.

15:49 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> There are undergoing preparations to push packages to beta first. Stable packages are provided from there as soon as possible.

15:50 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> the mirrors will not be up updated

15:50 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> yet

15:51 <Nardol> I had a discord link but did not find the info, so thanki you very much for your pricisions :)

15:52 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> Yeah the discord-irc bridge doesn't handle copy/pasting the links greatly

15:52 <DC-IRC> <Tenkawa> (I tried to just grab a msg link... doesn't work so well in the bridge)

15:56 <Nardol> No problem, all is clear for me now and I know I did not break anything ;) thanks a lot for your very fast help!

15:57 <Nardol> I'll be patient until apt repository is updated, then I will also be able to think about upgrading to bookworm :)
