DietPi folder empty

[syl3nt]

i also have a problem with installing Kodi, I don't understand how i can install it since it's not available on the list of software :-/
i did it on my own and it doesn't start properly (black screen) and the sound is all glitched

aaand when i startx , then the ssh server seems to stop and if i restart it manually it usually refuses the connection :-c

Hi,

GPU features (eg: Kodi, Desktop) are disabled on this board, the only boards we support for GPU are:

• RPi (all)
• Odroid (all)

Its mostly due to lack of stable driver/documentation for H3, and, with the H3 heat issues, GPU load ontop puts the CPU under excessive heat. Not recommended.

Thanks for the info ! !

Any news of the possible updated image for OrangePi PC?

[subaquatic]

Kudos on the release of v144! Is it possible to wget the dietpi-update script and run it on an install with an empty Dietpi folder? My RPi is 1400 miles away so rebuilding the SD card just isn't possible...

Thanks

Hey there,

I run into a similar issue - only that I use an Odroid XU4.

After I did the upgrade to v145 and rebooted the device, the DietPi-folder is empty. Before that everything was fine and working for a few weeks now (v144).
I have to say that I switched (from point of installation DietPi) the system to an external usb-drive using the drive-manager.

So I unplugged my sdcard and changed the root partition back from the usb-drive to the sdcard in the boot.ini. After that I was able to access the device and the DietpI-folder (now on the sdcard) wasn't empty (as it should be and logically couldn't be).

Here are a few more infos:

Device I'm using Odroid Xu4
SdCard: Kingston 8GB
USB-Drive Transcend SDD 32gb TS32GSSD 370 connected via cloudshell
Software installed: webmin, samba, pihole
last command: dietpu-upgrade && reboot
PSU: official one of Odroid for the XU4

The not so useful ramlog cause it is the one generated using the sdcard as root-device ( the generated on on the usb-card isn't accessible):

Thx for your support!!

Just a (belated) report on my issues with OrangePi PC Plus and the DietPi folder.

I've reinstalled the available image (OrangePi PC) from the Download section, and immediately did an upgrade - it was upgraded to 144, and I haven't had any related problems since (almost a week). So, for me the "disappearing DietPi folder" issue is resolved.

Thanks Fourdee!

Does anyone know of a way to patch this remotely?

Thanks in advance.

GoodRAM 16 GB UHS-I
/var/tmp/dietpi/logs/dietpi-ramlog.log: Read-only file system

I'am 100% certain this is due to the instability of the GoodRAM SD card. Please use a well branded/established SD card for stability, eg:
- Sandisk
- Samsung

[marionos]

@Fourdee

You were correct, I took my old Sandisk UHS 16GB and ... The result was the same...
But luckily I found and old image of v145 and writen it to both.
GoodRAM - no luck (No Ethernet controller found error)
Sandisk - It works!!!

So here, any idea why the new 6.0 image in the download section is causing issues no matter what SD Card is used?

EDIT>

NVM, tried yet another SD, v160 went on without problems with missing Folder.
However, now I am facing an issue with NTPD: Waiting for completion of time sync (7/30) and so on untill 30/30.
