Slarm64 on Pinebook [Slackware Arm - 64 bit]

[chris-justExploded]

I had forgotten that Armbian had 2 versions with different kernels (edit: actually it's so long since I looked at Armbian, they have moved on to kernel 5.x for everything), thanks for the reminder

I also cannot get the *lrz* file to decompress. I installed lrzip and here is the output of the commands I tried:

$lrunzip slarm64-current-aarch64-xfce-rootfs-20201023-5.6.19-pinebook-build-20201105.img.lrz
Output filename is: slarm64-current-aarch64-xfce-rootfs-20201023-5.6.19-pinebook-build-20201105.img
Decompressing...
Partial read!? asked for 1 bytes but got 0
Stream read u8 failed
No such file or directory
Fatal error - exiting

$lrzip -d slarm64-current-aarch64-xfce-rootfs-20201023-5.6.19-pinebook-build-20201105.img.lrz
Output filename is: slarm64-current-aarch64-xfce-rootfs-20201023-5.6.19-pinebook-build-20201105.img
Failed to create slarm64-current-aarch64-xfce-rootfs-20201023-5.6.19-pinebook-build-20201105.img
File exists
Fatal error - exiting

So it appears that the first command created an img file, but returned an error also, and indeed the img created is 0 bytes. Deleting that 0 bytes file and re-running the 2nd command outputs the same as the 1st.

I'd like to politely ask the creators if the images to repack the img using a standard compression format, like tar if possible. Whatever is being used here clearly isn't working and is adding to the confusion (lrz / zst ?!?! ). It's harder to debug without knowing if the contents or the decompression are the issue. Although afaics from the man pages, I am correctly using lrunzip and lrzip -d.

I'm giving up on a Slack ARM for now. Life is too short
