Sources.list default

[MattFox]

@phildunlap Thanks in that case I'll comment it out in my sources list.

[mihairosu]

So does anyone know why my MangoES is running on kernel Linux 3.8.13.30 armv7l, but my MangoES v2 on Linux 3.10.82+ armv7l?

I'm not able to get the original ES kernel to find updates.

This is my sources.list identical on both:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib
deb http://http.debian.net/debian stretch main contrib
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian stretch main contrib
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie main contrib

[MattFox]

get rid of the jessie stuff, stick to one repo!
The only time you'll use different versions if there's a specific version of a binary you want from a certain open source provider. That jessie repo is for the linux kernel, get rid of it.
Make sure you run after
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Have you moved to stretch yet?

[mihairosu]

Oops I didn't catch that. Yes I am running on stretch:

Both have this for lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch)
Release:        9.5
Codename:       stretch

There are no updates available.

I upgraded to stretch last year I think.

[MattFox]

I suggest you run sudo aptitude and manually go through what available packages there are then...
Should be able to select the kernel you want then.
Do note however stretch has been ported for only these architectures:

Architectures

Stretch was released with 10 architecture ports as announced by the release team:

amd64

arm64

armel

armhf

i386

mips

mips64el

mipsel

ppc64el

s390x

@mattfox Thanks Matt, I'll continue to investigate.

So I am running into an issue with cifs mounting that I'm pretty sure a kernel upgrade will resolve.

Matt, that original debian stretch list you gave me is not providing me with any kernel updates.

If anyone have a MangoES v1 and a MangoES v2 I would love to see what the default contents are of the /etc/apt/sources.list file is.

My MangoES v1 is currently stuck at this kernel version:

Linux 22historian 3.8.13.30 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 4 17:26:56 BRT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

My MangoES v2, which has an updated kernel version, works well:

Linux lobbyhistorian 3.10.82+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 7 16:31:39 MDT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

Anyone know either how I can get a source list to update this kernel version using apt or manually downloading the kernel?

[MattFox]

@mihairosu Did you run sudo aptitude as I instructed? There is an option in there for kernels.

[mihairosu]

Hey Matt,

I did go through the aptitude GUI but it wasn't very helpful because it still only uses the sources.list.

Here you can see screenshots that it's saying I have installed the 4.5 kernels for both of my MangoES:

MangoES original:

MangoES v2:

but these numbers have nothing to do with what I get when I do a uname -a, as seen in my above post, I am getting 3.8 and 3.10, which I have learned have to do with an ODROID kernel version.

Even if it would work, when I search for a new kernel via aptitude on my MangoES v2, I get nothing:

Whereas for the MangoES original I do get a list of kernels, but I am afraid to upgrade to any of these, as I still don't understand why they woudn't be automatically marked as upgradeable. My other apprehension is that aptitude on one is not the same as on the other: Why would MangoES v2 not have any kernel updates but the MangoES original does?

Looking at this post, I understand that normally, these kernels are not set to upgrade via apt-get, but this person made it possible to do so.

I already added these two lists, but they didn't provide any ODROID kernel updates:

wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-stretch-main.list        # package list for all ODROID devices / Debian Stretch (not for Debian Wheezy, Jessie, or Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-stretch-backports.list   # package list for all ODROID devices / Debian Stretch (not for Debian Wheezy, Jessie, or Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04)

I suspect I may have to add one of these to each MangoES:

wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-N1.list              # package list for ODROID N1 devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-U.list               # package list for ODROID U2/U3 devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-X.list               # package list for ODROID X devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-X2.list              # package list for ODROID X2 devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-XU.list              # package list for ODROID XU devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-XU3.list             # package list for ODROID XU3 devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-C1.list              # package list for ODROID C1 devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)
wget https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/sources.lists/meveric-all-C2.list              # package list for ODROID C2 devices and all Distributions (Kernel and Headers)

So now, my next problem is to figure out which is the correct ODROID hardware version that these MangoES run.

I found this post when searching on how to figure out which ODROID version I am running.

The MangoES v2 has 3.10.82+, which according to the above post is 1.0, which says that it would have to be re-imaged? I'm not quite sure how to accomplish this or even if I want to pursue this.
The MangoES original has 3.8.13.30, which could mean it could be a sub 1.0 version or something?

And again I don't understand why I am getting different versions with uname and what is showing up on Aptitude.

I feel like I'm rambling, so I'll just stop for now.

As the name suggests, it appears you'd be overwriting what you have with a complete image. I have seen the command
sudo make_modules install To install and use the linux kernel.
But I'm not confident that will work given the architecture of the mango unit. I could suggest grub bootloader to select the linux kernel but even then I think you'd just be fiddling as the system itself is a complete image. that is booted and run
Sorry I've exhausted all of my options. I think contact support directly will give you a better outcome now.
