DietPi for Odroid XU3/4

[rooted]

Test 5 is a no go, no output on the screen.


The setterm command did remove the cursor (while running test 3). Back to test 3 and all is well.

Thanks Rooted, finally getting somewhere lol

If you can also please run these tests i'd be extremely grateful:

• 6 https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -267838742
• 7 https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -267977566
• 8 https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -267977839
• 9 https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -267978162
• 10 https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -267981389

I have no problem helping you until we get the issue resolved

Test 6 - Works perfectly.

Test 10 - Works perfectly

Thank you Rooted, really appreciate the time you made for these tests.

I believe Test 10 is the best solution, using simple service type and declaring TTY path. I'll get this updated in DietPi, will be fixed for next release v140.

Thanks again!

[Falko2000]

Hi guys,

thanks for that wonderful thing DietPi. I have installed it on my XU4, and it is running very smoothly.

I thought i d test the Mate dekstop, installed it and it works BUT only with the root user, i cannot switch to another user, i cannot find the "user & group" administrative options. i did install gnome-system-tools and now the "Users & Group" options are available. But if i click on it, a new screen appears, apparently to add/change users, but it is greyed out, cursor turns into a "clock" symbols and that is is.
System does not hang.

So the system logs me in as root automatically when starting the desktp, and i cannot change/switch to another user-

Can you help me on that, please ?

Many thanks,
Holger / Falko

[rooted]

Just add a user from command line.

Code: Select all

useradd

[Falko2000]

Hi rooted

i had added a user much earlier already, i am logging in with that user via ssh into the XU4.
So that would not solve the issue.

Hi,

DietPi does not currently support underprivileged accounts for desktop at this time. This is due to the way we autostart the desktop and automatically login the root account, without the need for additional packages and resources.

This is something we may look at implementing in the future.

[Falko2000]

Hi Fourdee,

thanks for the quick answer.
I can work with that alright.

Thanks again for your great work with DietPi.

Have a great evening and thanks again.

Kindest regards

Any chance of adding other hosting panels to you software list ( ispconfig,sentora,vestacp )

Hi Fourdee,

Great work on DietPi, I really like its lightweight Debian design and with all the tools installed within itself.

I met up with a problem. How do I make the OS create another VNCserver automatically at startup?

Currently, on startup, I have VNC server running which I can remote into port 5901, but I wish it to create another VNC server on port 5902.
Any shortcuts to it? any file which I can try edit the settings. I am manually starting VNCserver myself which I am reducing the step.

My installed VNC is tightvnc.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You'll need to edit our custom vncserver autostart script file:

Code: Select all

nano /usr/local/bin/vncserver

As for adding multiple screens, i'am unsure. But the above file runs during DietPi boot to autostart the vncserver.

Not shared display by default, so you'll want to edit around the following line:

Code: Select all

$BINARY_FP :$DISPLAY -geometry $WIDTH'x'$HEIGHT -depth $DEPTH

Unested, but it should just be a case of adding another line for display 2:

Code: Select all

 $BINARY_FP :2 -geometry $WIDTH'x'$HEIGHT -depth $DEPTH

Then connect via IP, EG: 192.168.0.1:1 or 192.168.0.1:2

Thanks Fourdee for your reply.

I have taken a look at

Code: Select all

nano /usr/local/bin/vncserver

but sad to say.. I am not an expert at coding. I understand it is the DietPi configurations that is opening the VNC server rather than the VNC app itself.
It would be of much help if any of your friends will be able to help.

I am at wits end to automate the creation of extra vncservers. I used the odroid for educational purposes and I need each student to remote into the Odroid for tests. at least 2-3 windows will be of much help.

Hope you can provide some guidance if possible.

Wow, nice OS! Best one! Fits for me...

BUT;)

what about SMB speed? With the same Hardware (Odroid USB HDD) i got on Ubuntu Mate 100MB/s...... now i have 6MB/s.
Did everything you told: Drive Manager -> Move DietpiData to HDD.....

What the Issue?

Hi,

We use the stable 3.x kernel by default, you can try the 4.9 kernel below:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -310918133

[Satanic666]

it is a kernel issue? Or do i have to tune the smb.conf?
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/old/Sa ... speed.html

[meveric]

We use the stable 3.x kernel by default, you can try the 4.9 kernel below:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issue ... -310918133

by now it's Kernel 4.14 no longer 4.9

@Satanic666
there are some performance tweaking that can be done both on the smb.conf as well as to the OS itself. They were discussed in the forums and are hopefully easy to find.
Basically some optimization, using always big cores and such.

[oldchap]

I do not have wifi, only USB broardband.
Is there any way I can crank up Diet pi by downloading XFCE or LXDE, extracting the packages and placing everything in their correct directory and changing something in what ever 'boot' file to kick start Diet pi.
OR downloading modem manager and a terminal to boot to the terminal so as to do 'apt-get' to get a desktop.

Just as well you are on Odroid forum, could not sign up to Diet pi. Took me 2 goes to to get the first question, I answered DietPi/fusion, I was ready to give up then.
"Which command is used to configure sound cards/WiFi and other system settings in DietPi?:"
I would have loved to get that far, why dont you ask 'whats the yellow colour of the yellow desktop' to spoil the spambots.

...really nice work...kudos to the developers and contributors.

When looking for a Debian Stretch Distro (in need for Docker, mosquitto, Blynk and more) to replace the painful Armbian/OMV Setup on my XU3 to run from emmc, I found this.
Though OMV is not supported, I tried and tested with Webmin and plain SAMBA setup...works like a charm.

One minor flaw is that webmin would not install, although being listed in the optimized software catalog.
When trying to install webmin, it fails, complaining for the misisng base perl package.
After manual installation of perl with good old "apt-get install perl", the next try for webmin install went through.

...now into installing Docker and the rest of the services I need..

Keep up the good work!

[igorpec]

replace the painful Armbian/OMV Setup

OMV Armbian installation is bulky and comes with a lot of junk and you really can't install anything on top of that unless you are an expert. That is certainly not an Armbian issue.

We provide cleanest possible Debian/Ubuntu here:
https://www.armbian.com/odroid-xu4

[Hominidae]

hmmm...OMV on the XU3/XU4 was the reason to try Armbian for the majority of non-experts here, I'd like to say.

And AFAIK emmc install is still not working on Armbian, is it?

It is but you may have to boot from SD with eMMC attached then run a command that will update the bootloader on eMMC

Hello all,

I am having problems starting the X server on the latest build of DietPi.

I am using an XU3 Lite.

It says: (EE) No screens found

Hi Fourdee,

At first thanks for the great job about the DietPi it is really amazing, I know this post is new (ends of 2020) and the last post was in 2018 but I like impressive performance of DietPi so I still searching on any post, information about it.
Anyway, in fact I am new on DietPi and I facing some problems, one of them DietPi did not autologin in root account for display desktop, I did the login config from lightdm.conf file after selected index 16 from autostart menu the UX4 just login in user account and did not login in root account.
I tried also autologin from menu tools too BUT it dose not work for both, I do not understand why!
I am using LXDE desktop environment. I know this is old post but I hope get answer.

Kind regards
Ehsan

Hi guys, I would like to know if DietPi support video HW acceleration and widewine. Thanks in advance!

What unpleasant experience... Slow, sluggish a lot of issues... I already knew that I should avoid to even try it... Every time I try this distro that declares that can do it almost everything it happens always the contrary.

Hey guys, since Fourdee is not active anymore, please use the new DIetPi thread I linked above, where I am subscribed to (see I'll recognise). I'll answer your posts over there.
