And I check adb devices it shows that the device is offline

This is the error I get when I do malior recreate

On ‘radxas official image’ what do you expect lol. They probably dont have the binderfs enabled from kernel.

that i figured out darkevilPT, thanks for the reply, i am trying to enable touch for the 8 inch display on your build, the display is from radxa, and after enabling the hadware configuration and enabling rock-5a-radxa-display-8hd from the menu, the display is working perfectly, but the touch isnt working, i was searching the official build for the touch related sources, the touch is controlled by godot GT911 driver IC, its using i2c for touch,

how do i get this to work on your image?

First thing this is not my image.
Second I dont even own an touch display.
Thirdly… I have no clue on how this works… you will have to use the official ways for that.

91

sorry my bad for assuming this was your image :slight_smile:

You have to check radxa wiki instructions for that display and most likely those drivers/instructions wont work on armbian. Probably it only works on debian linux on radxa oficial image.

I havent even tested it myself and its best if you go into radxa discord and ask monka directly.
Tomorrow im flashing it to give it a go.

My guess this image uses different resources to work with the mainline version but … can also be some compilation error.

So… Have tested the Mainstream yet? I flashed it myself but it ended up being empty like a fresh installation of Ubuntu. The image itself is also smaller in size too.
The afterimages until this one was filled with useful applications. Maybe I did something wrong.

98

I actually havent but this one is not the afterburner its just a clean version on mainline with some issues…

According to monka this is the way to go:
https://monka.systemonachip.net/rock5b/current/

“to get the GPU working on the current kernel images : install a desktop , dont reboot , wget https://monka.systemonachip.net/opi5/mesa_23.2.0-devel-1_arm64.deb , sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite mesa_23.2.0-devel-1_arm64.deb , reboot and enjoy”

If its empty just run NicoD script to install the the most important stuff…

99

Thanks a lot. I directly rebooted after the desktop install.
Would you also a have a link for the NicoD script?

100

In at the bottom of the guide man 🤦 should I delete this tutorial if nobody reads it?

101

Sorry, I read it when I first asked about Steam, and have been skipping it ever since…
I will be sure to read it from the very beginning today!,:⁠-⁠!(⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃

Its all good. I havent been on my good days lately. His script is easier to install steam and other cool stuff for our boards plus he keeps it updated.

103

I have fixed the links to the Afterburner ones my bad for posting the newest ‘multimedia’ ones which require sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop.
But would have been the same. Now hassle free images are on post number 1.

104

Hello, thank you for the image.

I am unable to get the output to runat 4K60Hz. I have tried RebornOS/BredOS as well and they are stuck at 4k30hz. Also, do you know how to enable Wayland. I edited the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and enabled wayland but when I restart and the System Info still display X11.

The Autologin toggle also doesn’t work. It goes back to disabled on restart.

The Dark Styling (Appearance) also doesn’t work. The only thing that changed when I switch between the two styles are the background image.

105

Log out change gnome manually to ubuntu wayland then on your user on settings just enable auto login and that should be it to stick to wayland every time.

Otherwise its monka image that is not well ‘constructed’ but I believe in this last version he fixed that.

Regarding the resolution and refresh rate… I cant help… I use a 2k monitor at 130 Hz and it works.

106

thank you for the quick reply.
