Beta v9.5.1

(2024-06-09)

New software

• Forgejo | This Gitea fork has been added to our software library. Read about the background of this fork here: https://forgejo.org/2022-12-15-hello-forgejo/. Many thanks to @Cs137 for requesting and @jcnils for implementing this software option: DietPi-Software | Forgejo #6133, Add Forgejo to dietpi-software #7071

Enhancements

• Images | New DietPi images won't contain the gnupg package anymore, but gpg only, since other features of the suite are not required for our scripts anymore. E.g. dirmngr for interacting with keyservers, and gpg-agent for key passphrase inputs are hence missing. gpg however prints very clear error messages about what is missing. Let us know whether you find one of those GnuPG features too essential to not be pre-installed.
• Radxa ZERO 3 | Onboard WiFi does now work OOTB on early ZERO 3W revisions with AP6212 WiFi chip.
• Quartz64/Star64/VisionFive 2 | dm-crypt/LUCS support has been added to the kernel for those two SBCs. Many thanks to @gxsw for reporting this missing feature: LUKS on Pine64 Quartz64 Model A not working #7091
• DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: Since a while FFmpeg 6 is available for Jellyfin, but on old installs with the old FFmpeg 5 package, it is not upgraded automatically by APT. This DietPi update applies the FFmpeg upgrade to all affected systems. Many thanks to @gioxx and @WolfganP for reporting this issue: Can't update Jellyfin #7080
• DietPi-Software | MediaWiki: Uploaded images are now preserved on reinstalls.

Bug fixes

• Odroid C1/C2 | Resolved an issue on both SBCs where reboots could hang and a power cycle was required to get the device back up. Many thanks to @yandritos, @gociii and others for reporting this issue, and @gitmeister for providing the fix for Odroid C2: Odroid C2 | Does not boot on reboot without power cycling #5414, Odroid C1 hangs on reboot / shutdown now -r #6332
• Orange Pi Zero 2W | Resolved an issue where the onboard Ethernet adapter did not work.
• NanoPi NEO | Resolved an issue where LEDs of this SBC could not be configured, due to a conflicting kernel patch. Many thanks to @mhjessen for reporting this issue: NanoPi NEO | LEDs have stopped working with Linux v5.15 #5401
• DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where Advanced Options were not accessible on some SBCs. Many thanks to @thuehlinger for reporting this issue: Orange Pi 5 | MAC address changes on reboot #6663 (comment)
• DietPi-Software | Snapcast Server: Resolved on issue where on RISC-V systems, the web interface was not available, since it is not included in the snapserver package from Debian. Many thanks to @hllhll for reporting this issue: dietpi-software: snapweb snapcast server invalid web root #7073
• DietPi-Software | Snapcast Server: Resolved an issue where on Bookworm systems, which installed the Snapcast Server before DietPi v9.4 and reinstalled it afterwards, the server failed to start due to a permissions issue, since the services of both packages use different users. Many thanks to @hllhll for reporting this issue: dietpi-software: snapweb snapcast server invalid web root #7073
• DietPi-Software | Shairport Sync: Resolved a DietPi v9.4 regression, where the AirPlay 2 choice did not have an effect, but the AirPlay 1 package was always installed. Additionally, uninstalling Shairport Sync will now also purge the AirPlay 2 package. Many thanks to @pulpe for fixing this bug: Fix shairport-sync-airplay2 install #7082
• DietPi-Software | Box64: Resolved an issue where an invalid build target was used on Raspberry Pi 5 with 16k page size kernel. This target was removed with latest Box64, as page size handling is now done at runtime.
• DietPi-Software | Jellyfin: Resolved an issue where the intended HTTP port change could not be applied, since the network config file is not created anymore at service start. We do now pre-create a minimal one, which is complemented with defaults automatically.
