* Init v9.4 * Fix v9.4 software array --------- Co-authored-by: MichaIng <[email protected]>
- General | Our scripts do now internally enforce the default umask 0022. Many config and install options rely on this, hence it can cause issues when e.g. 0027 (deny read access for "other" users) has been applied on the parent shell. This affects only the (sub)shell of our scripts, while the current and default umask of parent and of shells/consoles remains untouched.
- Raspberry Pi | Pro-actively install tiny-initramfs to satisfy the upcoming initramfs dependency for new Raspberry Pi kernel packages: RPi-Distro/repo#358
- Orange Pi 3B | Added an option for updating the SPI bootloader via dietpi-config > Advanced Options > Update SPI bootloader. Since this implies generic support for flashcp based flashing to /dev/mtd using a different U-Boot image name as well, this re-adds the options for some other SBCs with recent U-Boot packages
- DietPi-Software | Snapcast: 64-bit ARM and Debian Bookworm + Trixie will have the now available packages from Snapcast installed, instead of those from the Debian repository. - DietPi-Software | Snapcast: Resolved an issue where version 0.27.0 was installed, because since version 0.28.0, Snapcast is provided with client and server packages wrapped into one archive, instead having individual downloads for each package.
- DietPi-Imager | Skip moving backup partition table before touching the image. parted/sfdisk may throw warnings, but the step can fail if the last partition reaches the end of the image, e.g. if the file was cut right after the last partition, ignoring the backup table. Additionally, obtain the size needed for the GPT backup correctly by the first usabe LBA/sector, instead of using the 34 sectors default GPT size. fdisk/sfdisk use 2048 by default, while parted defaults to the actual 34 sectors the GPT truly uses.
- DietPi-Patches | Fix syntax for replacing overlay load commands, to assure indentation - DietPi-Set_hardware | Fix variable name for flashing U-Boot t SD/eMMC - DietPi-CloudShell | On Odroid XU4, when using the CloudShell 2 LCD, during configured auto screen off times, the backlight power of the LCD will be disabled as well, to safe energy and avoid still visible black display content. Many thanks to @SMAC for suggesting this enhancement: https://dietpi.com/forum/t/15331/55 - DietPi-Config | Added an option to the LCD display menu to toggle the Odroid XU4 CloudShell 2 LCD. - DietPi-Config | Fix detection for Odroid IR remote state - DietPi-Set_hardware | Cleanup Odroid LCD and IR functions, remove handling/config of kernel modules which do not exist anymore since Linux 5.4
- DietPi-Set_hardware | Reset all LCD settings before applying a new one, so that changes from one to another, without selecting "none" in between, works cleanly. For this, assure that all "Disable" functions are skipped on unsupported SBCs. Also hard fail when calling the "lcdpanel" command or giving an invalid/unsupported LCD name, or if an error-handled command fails.
- DietPi config partition | To assure that elsewhere stored and copied config files are treated newer than the ones on the root filesystem, set mtime of those to 1 second after epoch. Set mtime of those on the config partition to 0 seconds after epoch, so, in case they were never touched, they won't be copied. Any (last) edited config file takes hence precedence over the one on the rootfs. Add boot.ini and extlinux.conf to the handled config files. For those, as well as dietpiEnv.txt, if the file from the config partition was copied, hence the one on the effective boot partition overwritten, reboot the system, so the change is effective for 1st boot setup. Such bootloader config files never need to be copied from the RPi boot/firmware partition, since they are effective only there, which is also the reason config.txt and cmdline.txt are not copied. Also update and rephrase the README.
- Orange Pi 5 Plus | Resolved an issue where the Ethernet interface names eth0/eth1 could swap on (re)boot. We add a udev rule which assures they are named persistently based on the PCI bus identifier. In case you created own udev rules to mitigate the issue, please check whether they conflict and decide whether to use ours or your solution. The DietPi update will also inform you about this change with a prompt. Many thanks to @dirkhh and many others for reporting this issue: #6592
- DietPi-Imager | Strangely, touch -t '197001010000' on the FAT filesystem leads to a 1980 timestamp, while only 197001010001 on the ext4 197001010001 gave the intended 1970 timestamp, sadly just older, so all configs were copied, even when not edited. I wasn't able to replicate locally when running these commands on a FAT filesytem file, but let's try with a more recent year, and a positive second in both cases.
