X86 Hardware issues (Graphics, WiFi, Onboard Sound, external DACs, Disks, BIOS/UEFI Boot problems etc.)

gellert · October 30, 2022, 7:37pm

Cool. Will it be included in the next release?

I have an old Mini86 with 500 GB music files on the internal volume which i like to upgrade to Volumio 3.

Unfortunaly to backup the files over network with samba does not work. The connection always breaks due to timeouts.

Any recommendations how to backup the internal volume?

Wheaten · November 6, 2022, 2:33pm

Guess the OS is on the same volume as the data files?
If so, then you can only do this over the network,
The timeouts, are you connecting via WiFi or copper.

daniel · November 6, 2022, 2:53pm

Guess the OS is on the same volume as the data files?
Yes, correct.

The timeouts, are you connecting via WiFi or copper.
Both

Would it be possible to connect an external USB hard drive and copy the data files over the shell to the external drive? If somebody could provide me the paths and commands? I have no idea where the data files are located.

Wheaten · November 6, 2022, 3:01pm

If you connect a powered USB device this is possible.
You media is located at:

cp -r /data/INTERNAL /media/<name of USB thing>

I’ve been using a 2006 MacMini with Volumio for years. It has 4Gb ram, Cor2Duo processor, 2.1Ghz type. In it, the system is set to a 1Tb SSD, music is everything. It drives a Topping D10 DAC, I have no problems with it except powering it up. You have to de-energize the thing for that, so I never turn it off. He has a beautiful voice and is also flashy. It has an external WI FI, and the internal CD DVD player plays CDs or rips them perfectly. Is breast better than this?

mikldesign · November 8, 2022, 10:00pm

I had this error too. I solved my miniPC problem by changing the UEFI boot option (changeable) to traditional, old-fashioned Boot. From then on, all my problems were solved. My machine is a small Chinese machine. Your house is nice. I don’t know his name.

Hi Gé,
Experimenting to get OLED running on a x86 (HP EliteDesk…) machine, but run into a snag. Instead of me breaking things I thought let’s drop the question.
Need to run make to get a USB-I2C driver installed, but it keeps erroring out:

volumio@volumio-x86-s2:~/i2c-ch341-usb-master$ make
make -C /lib/modules/5.10.139-volumio/build M=/home/volumio/i2c-ch341-usb-master modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/lib/modules/5.10.139-volumio/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/lib/modules/5.10.139-volumio/build'
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2

Running V3.378,
uname -r = 5.10.139-volumio
Kernel headers = None.

if I run below command, only available 4.19.x kernel-headers are shown
sudo apt search linux-headers

Failing:

volumio@volumio-x86-s2:~/i2c-ch341-usb-master$ sudo apt-get upgrade linux-headers-$(uname -r)

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-5.10.139-volumio'
volumio@volumio-x86-s2:~/i2c-ch341-usb-master$

Any safe way to get the correct headers loaded (V5.10.139)?

gkkpch · November 23, 2022, 11:29pm

let’s take this on PM and report the results here (when we have some) as I’m fairly busy with things besides x86 support. Can take some time…

Wheaten · November 24, 2022, 2:37pm

Thanks for your support, Loading the kernel modules and creating the symbolic link did the trick.

Hi I’m not sure this is the right place to post this, but i am really struggling to install x64 volumio on a HP t520 thin client. I know the t520 works because it boots other img files and i already have one running volumio 3.0. I looks like the issue might be multiple partitions that are created on the usb drive when the image is burned to it.

Do you know of an issue??

Regards
Chris

gkkpch · November 28, 2022, 4:35pm

How are we supposed to help with “it’s not working”, surely you can do better than that😉
What do you mean with not working? Not booting? Stops with error message(s)? Nothing happening at all?
Why do you think the partitions are the issue?
Volumio has 3 of them.

craggychris · November 28, 2022, 6:24pm

You know something forget it, I’ve fixed it, there is no need to be so rude!!

gkkpch · November 28, 2022, 7:45pm

when you feel this was rude, then sorry. But asking for help without supplying information is not very clever either. Curious to hear your solution, others could profit.

craggychris · November 28, 2022, 11:29pm

You should read my original post I never simply said it’s not working. I said I was struggling to install so that’s clearly a boot issue isn’t it, as for telling you how I fixed it you’re obviously the smart arse you figure it out. What a uplesent little man you are

Wheaten · November 29, 2022, 1:23pm

@craggychris

Not sure if your complaint in regards to be rude is valid, looking at your reply.
At least @gkkpch apologized if the reply sounded to harsh.
Please keep in mind that people support you in their free time and only request adequate information.

Your info is very limited, like HP t520 and doesn’t boot.
For us there is no way to support it.
you made a remark:

Did you read the topic header yourself?

If you want to reply, I am open to it. But please react wiht some decency.

Foxsyss_Foxsyss · November 29, 2022, 6:06pm

Hi i install the so in win but cant see interface. I can in webui but no in laptop screen

gkkpch · November 29, 2022, 7:16pm

I presume you installed on a usb stick and booted from there on your laptop?
But that is pure guessing. You need to tell us a bit more, to be able to help you. Which laptop, which version of Volumio?
Look in thread X86 Hardware issues (WiFi, DAC, Disks, Boot etc.)
Read the first post, it tells you what we need.
Then add your issue as a new item.
Report back in case you get stuck

Wheaten · November 30, 2022, 8:56pm

Hi,

Just got a TP-Link AC1300 MU-MIMO USB adapter, which I can setup and connect to my wireless network. However after every reboot the connections is lost. No clue why?

Hi,
Can you conforme that the mini pc model z83f is compatibile with volumio?

Thanks and best regards
