Hello,
Requirements:
I have Searched the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the Resources category (Resources Index)
I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information
I have read the the Release Notes and Errata
OpenMandriva Lx version:
OpenMandriva Lx Rock 6.0 Server
Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
No desktop
Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
Spent a while figuring out how to install this on my Libre Computer Renegade. I’ll describe this below, but to avoid TL;DR, now that it’s installed, I have no DNS. Here’s what I’ve tried:
- Ping anything by name (returns short message: System Error).
- Ping anything by IP address (works)
- Since I was going to give this a static IP anyway, I used
nmtui
to configure a static IP and two DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. I also changed the host name and rebooted. The IP changed to the static one I wanted, but I still have no DNS.
Beyond that, I don’t know what to do. Usually, NetworkManager just works.
Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
This is a Libre Computer Renegade: https://libre.computer/products/roc-rk3328-cc/
It’s a nice, cheap, drop-in replacement for a Raspberry Pi. It even has the same form factor, so you can use whatever Raspberry Pi case you like. To get it to boot, I followed these steps:
- Get an OM aarch64 img file. I couldn’t find one on the site, so about a month ago (I have very limited time for these personal projects), someone on the Chat gave me a link to this image file:
OpenMandriva-Lx-aarch64-uefi-6.0-3905.img
. - I have an NVMe in a USB enclosure plugged into the USB port on the Libre Computer.
- Putting the image on an SD card did not work, because you need a special bootloader. I flashed the bootloader to the SD card using this tool: GitHub - libre-computer-project/libretech-flash-tool
- I transferred the image to the NVMe using this command:
sudo dd bs=4M if=OpenMandriva-Lx-aarch64-uefi-6.0-3905.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync
. - With the SD card and the NVMe in place, I powered on the device and it booted, after many trials and errors (apparently it has to be plugged into a specific USB port).
I noticed the DNS problem when I tried to run a dnf update
