Mini M8S S905 Ubuntu Mate 64 bit (With X and Kodi and VLC) on SDCard

[Fabbione]

Is this compatible with the mini m8s II featuring the amlogic s905x soc?

Libreelec on my mini m8s works perfect but when i try this ubuntu or debian/armbian images I always have black strips on the image no mater if its in console or X. Tried on 4k tv and hdmi to vga adapter, is always the same

Hmm, are you Daniel Kukula (https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?...kuku%C5%82a/)?
Have you tried to change the Color Depth to 24mbp using this http://www.mediafire.com/file/iuobso...-24mbpp.tar.gz

What you have, Mini M8S with S905 or with S905X (Mini M8S II) ?

I spend the whole day yesterday with different setups and different images and I managed to run this rom by lowering the display resolution to 720p60hz and changing the next option in the file (hpd, or similiar-I have to check) from true to false in the s905_autoscript file.

I'am glad to know that...

If you can update in the first post also that after flashing its good practice to regenerate the ssh server keys -this should be secret and by flashing rom image everyone has the same which is a security issue and delete the anime and music folders .

Thanks for the sugestion, i just took it from koxx and give the custom kernel images.
so i never change the ssh key... >.<

Awesome job! Where did you get the RTL driver from? Was it included in the hardkernel linux source tree?

(I'm building something similar, but with Arch's C2 kernel and root instead of Ubuntu. I did get X working, but not wifi, and can't find a way to get the RTL8723bs to compile out-of-tree)

What i did is, try to figured out, why LibreELEC 7.0 for S905 have the driver.
Then i found out its RTL8732BS, so i get the Driver from LibreELEC Kernel Source in here https://github.com/kszaq/linux/tree/amlogic-3.14.y

Then i use the same Kernel Header version from my current Kernel version And Kernel Source 3.14.79.
- My current kernel - http://deb.odroid.in/c2/pool/main/l/...0926_arm64.deb
- Kernel Header - http://deb.odroid.in/c2/pool/main/l/...0926_arm64.deb
- Kernel Source - https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/...rnel-84.tar.gz

i found error WARNING: "extern_wifi_set_enable" [/usr/src/linux-headers-3.14.79-84/drivers/amlogic/wifi/rtl8723BS/8723bs.ko] undefined!
after i ask Google, i do this trick http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/t...ailable/page-2 and check https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl818...platform_ops.c
You need to remove line 33 to 38

I spend the whole day yesterday with different setups and different images and I managed to run this rom by lowering the display resolution to 720p60hz and changing the next option in the file (hpd, or similiar-I have to check) from true to false in the s905_autoscript file.

Can you please upload that file for me please, my TV got blackstrips too and only display a part of UI as I cant even see the login window after boot.
And I dont know how to edit the autoscript file
