DietPi OS for ROCK64

[Chubber]

I went through the initial update process and it did the first reboot. I was able to SSH in after the reboot but still no hdmi monitor output. I executed a shutdown, disconnected the hdmi, powered it up again and SSHed in again. But this time I waited until I had the SSH connection before connecting the hdmi and now the monitor works. I've since rebooted and hdmi is working even if plugged in.

So thank you, I'm up and running with both of my new ROCK64s.

I rarely use the hdmi, but one is for a friend that is new to SBCs and I think he needs it.

I just added ROCK64 to our image build script and generated new images. It's still (latest) Armbian kernel and U-Boot packages, but freshly partitioned image file + rootfs via debootstrap. Probably the more recent U-Boot works more reliable: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/testing/

If the Bullseye image does not boot, the Bookworm one won't either, which differs only in userland.

EDIT: Ah I just saw now that you were able to SSH into the system with the old image, but no HDMI output? Also finishing first run setup, including kernel upgrade does not help with this?

EDIT2: Ah lol, here it was reported at Armbian: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/24146-th...lled-hdmi/
Do you see the same error(s) in dmesg -l emerg,alert,crit,err?

I re-downloaded and installed DietPi today 12/7/22 and it started right up. Thank you!

I want to run WordPress on this but can't get mysql-server installed. I don't want to install the mariadb-server they say 100% compatible but using this as a backup and want to copy my WordPress database to it. If I install mariadb-server I get errors.

So how can I install mysql-server?

This is on a Recon Sentinel Rock64.

Found out how to install mysql-server on it.

It the /etc/apt/sources.list

Added this one line.

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main

Then these commands:

apt update
apt install mysql-server

It works. It has lots of other updates but after I installed the mysql-server I put a # before that line. I am not sure if them updates will break it or not.

Thank you.
