02:25 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <c0rnelius77> @epokhe It means there is a driver enabled in the kernel but the firmware isn't installed. As for wifi you probs don't have network-manager installed. If it is installed run; `sudo nmtui`

05:40 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> And if you for some reason need this firmware blob, it might be included in the `armbian-firmware-full` package which isn't installed by default.

08:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> is this wifi/i2c setup documented somewhere? I followed https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started but it just points me to `armbian-config`.

08:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> I installed network manager from apt, did nmtui and looks like somehow wifi hardware is not recognized.

08:37 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/857944478269702214/1269212458522902549/image.png?ex=66af3db6&is=66adec36&hm=54937e63e8c3855d06c640c0eff071ec560298a993f0c33cc29a0ec4514a782d&

08:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> yes, and https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/ tells you where in the menu you find this. If you are using not supported devices, you are on your own. There is no support and there is certainly not Orangepi tailored documentations. They should provide that for you.

08:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> we don't know if this works, as HW is not supported, which means nobody tried this.

08:47 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> wait, this is Rpi3? Then enabling i2c and stuff goes the same way as on RPi OS afaik. enabling this in config.txt

08:57 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> rpi3 is supported right? I checked that it has "standard support" before trying https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/

08:57 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> yes, i mixed this for Orange 3b

08:57 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> so much different devices carries same name

08:58 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> use /boot/firmware/config.txt for such settings. armbian-config AFAIK isn't designed to handle rpi devices since they use some special weirdness in terms of booting

09:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> thanks. and for wifi, do you have any suggestions?

09:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> armbian-firmware-full package is installed?

09:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> no, let me do that.

09:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> I got the "hardware enabled" from nmtui after installing the firmware package. It's my first time using this tool. I don't see any way to choose from available wifi networks.

09:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> Do I have to edit a connection and add all wifi network details manually?

09:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> this is what "activate a connection" shows

09:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <epokhe> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/857944478269702214/1269229534545317989/image.png?ex=66af4d9e&is=66adfc1e&hm=b488712049d1aa5afb99e629b81f28a5ce8158c5c578eb66233b9b049ce044b5&

11:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Never used it either. Does wifi show up in `ip a`?

11:26 <mort> I'm trying to build an Armbian image for the nanopi r6c, but graphics aren't working. I'm essentially trying to recreate the Ubuntu 24.04 desktop image listed on https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r6s/.

11:26 <mort> It lists "MESA / VPU" under "Extensions", which feels very related. Is this something I can add too, in order to reproduce the image?

11:38 <DC-IRC> [Matrix] <schwar3kat:tchncs.de> mort - are you building with BUILD_DESKTOP=yes?

11:38 <mort> yes

11:39 <mort> GNOME gets installed and everything, but with the vendor kernel the screen just turns black when GNOME tries to start, and with the "current" kernel graphics look completely messed up

11:39 <mort> everything looks perfect when using the Ubuntu 24.04 GNOME image from the link I sent

11:39 <mort> tho I found this repo: https://github.com/efectn/armbian-builds/tree/main

11:39 <mort> that's probably where the extensions are

11:41 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/extensions/mesa-vpu.sh

11:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <efectn> Which image are you trying?

11:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <efectn> Which image are you trying? Can you send a link

11:45 <mort> efectn: I'm trying to build an Ubuntu 24.04 image with GNOME for nanopi r6c, essentially trying to recreate https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r6s/

11:45 <mort> I found your repo and am trying to follow the steps in the github workflow now, with the extensions in that repo added to userpatches/extensions

11:47 <mort> efectn: should I run with ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=oibaf,amazingfated-rk3588? Or with ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu?

11:51 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <efectn> This repo is for unoffical test builds which is built on github CI

11:52 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <efectn> You need to use mesa-vpu

11:52 <mort> I see! Thank you

14:04 <mort> Does customize-image.sh changes to /home take effect? I create a user (using useradd with --home /home/<name> and --create-home), copy some stuff over from overlay into /home/<name>, etc. but in the final image, /home is empty

14:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Can you share your customize-image.sh?

14:06 <mort> The user correctly has home dir /home/<name> (verified by 'echo ~' when running as that user), and customize-image.sh starts with 'set -ex' so I both see that the correct commands get executed and I know that they exit with code 0, so I'm 99% sure /home/<name> actually gets created and stuff succeeds

14:06 <mort> sure, https://p.mort.coffee/XkG.sh

14:07 <mort> Here's the relevant log from the build: https://p.mort.coffee/ET9

14:08 <mort> (that password isn't final, so it doesn't hurt that I leaked it just now; but I should probably find a way to not have the password as part of the build log, heh)

14:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Hm. Cannot tell.

14:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Default file is a bit different since everything is packed into a single function `Main`. Yours is missing this entirely. However my bash foo isn't that great.

14:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <xmort> Hm apparently you need INCLUDE_HOME_DIR=yes in build options according to some random forum thread

14:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <xmort> Bash just executes commands in the file line by line, like python or JavaScript; the default file just creates a main function at the start and calls it at the end

14:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Didn't know that this switch even existed. Not sure what it is good for since the customization script is executed just before image closing

14:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <xmort> probably for situations like mine where I create a home dir in customize-image.sh

14:17 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Maybe the info is old?

14:18 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Ah. It is actually a thing

14:19 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Yeah you probably need this switch
