I've got an SBC (not a raspberry) with an ARM processor. I've managed to install Armbian. As it will be running headless but I'd like to take a look at what it has been recording from time to time, kdrc would be perfect.
I've done that on a Raspberry (thanks to QOS), but it seems the only TDE for arm is for Raspbian and there are unsatisfied dependancies when I try to install on Armbian.
I'll try to see what I can do with vnc, but has anyone made experiences with Armbian?
Note: I was able to install KDE 4's krfb on Armbian, but some "smart" developper has decided (for security I imagine) that you have to give the password for kwallet, then create an unattended password everytime - which totaly defeats the use as headless remote access....
Have a good day,

Hi!
Armbian is a nice starting point, but that's about it. This is what I did on my new RPi3B+: - install Raspbian - put the devuan ascii repository in sources.list - disable recommended and suggested packages:
# joe /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01norecommend APT::Install-Recommends "false"; APT::Install-Suggests "false"; APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant "false"; APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant "false";
# apt-get update # apt-get install aptitude devuan-keyring # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade
Now remove systemd if you like. I remember that was a bit of an issue, the first time I tried systemd did not agree with me and consequently rendered the system unbootable. If i remeber correctly, I had to trigger the rebuild of initrd by hand. # aptitude install sysv-rc sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils
Now remove packages that are not used any more - go through that list very carefully. On x86 I use "apt-show-versions |grep -v '(not installed|uptodate)'" but that does not work on arm:
# dpkg -l | grep -v 'ii '
- add TDE repository - install the parts pf TDE I'm insterested in
Basicly done. Make sure that the raspberry-specific packges from armbian are kept in place. You'll most likly loose pi-bluetooth, but that pacjkage is a nobrainer (~ lines of shell code to put in rc.local)
