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,
Thierry

Gene Heskett was doing something with TDE on Raspberry or Raspian or whatever. I don't know much about it (but am about to take the plunge in the next few months). But we haven't heard from Gene in a few weeks.

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)

The problem here is that Raspbian does not run. The SBC is an Odroid and seems to require a special boot process. TDE for Raspbian does not install.
For the moment this seems to work:
- install x11vnc on the odroid - configure it - access through krdc-trinity (or vinagre or xtightvnc)

Why should it not install? I tested it years ago on the older Raspberry (I think it was 2), but it was really slow.

Raspbian TDE does not install on Armbian. Armbian (at least the hardkernel version I have to use because the odroid requires some special boot magic) seems to be built on Ubuntu bionic. Raspbian-TDE and Debian-TDE have missing dependancies. ANd there does not seem to be an armhf build for Ubuntu...

Hi, from your previous post I understood it does not install on Raspbian, but now I understand you meant Armbian. All those devices have their own boot process :) ... and who is still using Ubuntu? :)

Well, yes, but you could try to migrate from armbian to devuan (or debian) armhf. Just make sure your bootmagic stays intact. Try a upgrade and a dist-upgrade. If that succeeds, try replacing the armbian packages one by one till you know what not to remove - or what does not have a replacement candidate. Then install TDE.

In case that you use Preliminary Stable Builds repository, there are also armhf packages for Ubuntu Bionic.

Thank you Slavek. I tried this too but aptitude complains there is no acpi package and proposes not to install kubuntu-desktop-trinity. If I undestand that right I'd get some of the TDE applications but not the desktop, right?

is kwallet installed on your system? Running kmail under kde3 resp. KDE4 kwallet always asked for a password, even after choosing the option that I don't want to use kwallet at all.
The trick was to deactivate kwallet after installation of the system (SUSE, later opensuse) and before starting kmail. So if you don't have installed kwallet, you could try to install it and then deactivate it.
