@LieDanG I added v6.17 milestone so we do not forget to check, even it seems an image/kernel issue. Read in the other thread, that we can create a new image based on new available custom kernel. |
|
@LieDanG
Thanks for the report, very strange, unable to replicate this here. Could be a bad image write, any errors during write? Which tool are you using to write the images (eg: Android Tool provided in our download). Regardless, I'am updating this image with new kernel by carlosp, will let you know when its ready for use. |
|
@LieDanG Image updated, tested working on my NanoPC-T4, please let me know if this resolves the issue: |
|
There are no errors and I'm writing the image using the Android Tool from your download This time it says Dietpi tty1 But it happens the same, login with root:dietpi does nothing it returns again to login screen |
|
@LieDanG Does login via SSH work, as it looks like you are trying on local console (tty1)? |
|
@MichaIng It's weird, with the official Friendlyarm image everything works fine, could be a board revision unsupported with current kernel config? I could try to use it to get some info if that helps |
|
@LieDanG
Interesting, could be a different ethernet chipset, however, carlosp kernel uses the latest FriendlyARM kernel, which, should be the same as FriendlyARM image. Are you able to connect serial, dump the following command once logged in? |
|
I found an old usb serial adapter, this is what I get After that I get some random characters but I can't type anything, it's from a fresh boot |
|
@LieDanG Thanks 👍 Appears related to display port, I get the same errors. Appears the resize script is failing Looks like a bad image write. Try the following in android tool:
If problems persist:
When this occurs, reconnect the serial cable (USB side), and serial client. Press enter and see if you can log in. If you can log in, check: |
|
I can't use the lower level format option, I get an error
Already tried reconnecting the adapter but can't login |
|
Ok I found the problem I noticed that the Android Tool by default has the address 0x000B2000 for their rootfs.img but in the FriendlyDesktop image the parameter.txt file has the address 0x00030000 and I forgot that I had to manually change it when I flashed their image to make it work with my board I changed the address for the DietPi rootfs and it worked, could you check if that address also works with yours? Also it's not related with this but I noticed something with the current DietPi image: I enabled the shared desktop mode for the vnc but it doesn't work and it seems that vnc doesn't start with that option as it works fine if it's disabled |
|
@LieDanG
Yep, i'll run a test.
Thanks, i'll check. VNC4? |
|
@LieDanG For shared desktop mode with VNC to work, a desktop must be running on the system. 🈴 Ah there is an issue with our VNC script under shared mode. Will be resolved for next release. |

This did not work for my system, failed to boot. As such, i'll mark this as possible info, should any else experience the same issues you did. |

Did you changed the address both in the Android Tool and in the parameter.txt file? |
|
@LieDanG
Missed that one, will redo the test 👍 |

Guys, I'm currently running a Kubernetes Cluster on my NanoPC-T4 boards and while running an ElasticSearch application I found out the board with the 4.4.154 Kernel crashes frequently with Kernel panics. Also the Kernel used by Ambian crashed. More details here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9365-random-reboots-on-nanopc-t4-with-armbian-569/ The Kernel 4.4.138 is very stable and I reverted back to it. Also I'm building FriendlyArm 4.4.143 to check if it's stable. Another improvement I made is that the Kernel partition now has 112MB and can hold multiple Kernel files and provides a boot menu with a newer uboot (have to choose over serial or attached monitor/keyboard). This makes the life easier to test new kernels. I can provide my files that I used to flash and we can go on from there. |
|
@carlosedp i'd love the files to try out, going to be running a similar setup using Kubernetes and i'd love to avoid the random shutdowns. |
|
@carlosedp do you mind sharing your kernel? It's been a while since the last update for the NanoPC, would like to test that boot menu |
|
Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I packaged the files in a similar flasher that is already in use but I haven't tested flashing with it since I use a Mac and flash on a Linux VM with rkdeveloptool. It might need adjusts. The download is on https://ufile.io/drlk7 valid for 30 days. Please report back to me if it worked or needed adjusts. The rootfs I used is a little outdated, might need update by @MichaIng or @Fourdee. |

Sorry for forgotten response. I think we'll create a new Buster image with current kernel, most likely based on ARMbian Buster with Linux kernel 5.3: https://dl.armbian.com/nanopct4/Debian_buster_dev_minimal_nightly.7z I mark this issue as closed now. Added the image request to the Buster image collection thread: #2979 |

Solution: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2142#issuecomment-430492281
Required Information:
Steps to reproduce:
Downloaded and flashed image from https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1829#issuecomment-398324420
Expected behaviour:
Begin 1st run setup
Actual behaviour:
Only get a localhost login screen, tried login with root:dietpi and I get the MOTD from Debian that quickly dissapears and returns again to login screen
Extra details:
Flashed the friendlydesktop-bionic image from Friendlyarm and it boots fine to desktop, I was planning to replace my Odroid C2 that I'm currently using with DietPi but I can't figure out why it's not working with my board
