2. Select to option 4 (Advanced Options)

Expected behaviour

The advanced options menu should be opened

Actual behaviour

For a moment the screen turns back to the command line and then it loads the dietpi-config menu again.

Extra details

Other menu items load properly.

@MichaIng do you know if the advanced options are supported on Rock4?

@andreagdipaolo

For a moment the screen turns back to the command line and then it loads the dietpi-config menu again.

@andreagdipaolo if connected via SSH, you should be able to scroll up the screen once dietpi-config has been loaded again. Any hint’s there?

@Joulinar

I can reply to that: yes, indeed. There is surely the SPI flasher, among other options.

I’m unable to scroll up, the screen is fixed on the blue page. If I exit I see nothing but the sudo dietpi-config command.

[Joulinar]

Depending on the SSH terminal used, it should be possible to scroll up.

I’m using Termius.
I was able to do that in Putty.
Nothing:

Please apply the live patch from 2 weeks ago:

dietpi-update

[andreagdipaolo]

I performed it and no live patch is being installed. It doesn’t prompt me to install new patches, maybe I already have them.
Rebooted and still unaccessible.

G_LIVE_PATCH_STATUS[0]=‘not applicable’

Thats the patch status from initial post

[MichaIng]

Ah whoops, I missed to apply the live patch on ROCK 4, did so for ROCK 5B, Orange Pi 5 (Plus) and Orange Pi 3B only.

Since release is next week, I’ll not add another live patch. Fix it manually:

sed -i 's/"Update SPI bootloader'\'' '\''/'\''Update SPI bootloader'\'' "/' /boot/dietpi/dietpi-config
