Beta v6.25.0

(24/06/19)

Changes / Improvements / Optimisations

DietPi-FirstBoot | First boot setup steps have been moved into a separate script and systemd unit. This allows further cleanup of the regular boot process and more targeted debugging and development. Many thanks for @FredericGuilbault for implementing this enhancement: System | Separate first boot configurations from regular boot procedures. #2791
DietPi-Autostart | When choosing an autostart option that does not require a manual UNIX user login, the autologin user can now be chosen (which was always "root" previously). This can be applied automatically on firstrun setup with the new "AUTO_SETUP_AUTOSTART_LOGIN_USER" setting within dietpi.txt. If the user does not exist, is a system user (UID < 1000) or does not have a valid login shell, it will be reverted to root. Many thanks to @FredericGuilbault for suggesting this feature: Automatic login as dietpi #2926
DietPi-Globals | G_OBTAIN_CPU_TEMP(): Added support for Core2Duo CPU temperature to be printed on e.g. DietPi-Banner and "cpu" command output. Many thanks to @OstrovCity for posting the required information: Update to get correct CPU temp #2563 (comment)
DietPi-Service 2.0 | Combines dietpi-process_tool into dietpi-services. Adds IO policies, single/global service control and much more: DietPi-Services 2.0 #2786
DietPi-Process_tool | Has been replaced with DietPi-Services. Existing saved options will no longer be available, please use 'dietpi-services' to apply required process_tool options with the upgraded system.
DietPi-Explorer | Disabled opening of files in nano under select a file/folder mode.
DietPi-Drive_Manager | Added the option to change the I/O scheduler per drive. Many thanks to @Generator for pointing us onto this topic: DietPi-Drive_Manager | Allow to switch I/O scheduler #2233
DietPi-Drive_Manager | Services are not stopped directly at start of this script any more. Instead this is done only on critical tasks, e.g. transferring of DietPi userdata, the swapfile or RootFS. Further increased navigation speed by re-running the drive detection loop only when affecting changes have been made, and, by several other code enhancements.
DietPi-Config | APT Cache: We added new options to "dietpi-config" > "Advanced Options" > "APT Cache" to disable the APT cache or move cache, repo lists and/or package download dir to RAM. By default we disable the APT cache, which saves 50 - 100 MiB disk writes on each "apt-get update" call, but slows down "apt-cache" calls: DietPi-Config | Add option to disable APT cache or move cache, lists and downloads to RAM #2840
DietPi-Config | RTC mode: When selecting this option, a menu with additional info is shown instead of just toggling the state. Many thanks to @Sopor for this suggestion: DietPi-Config | Show menu with info for RTC mode selection #2826
DietPi-Config | Audio Options (RPi): I-Sabre-K2M/Q2M sound card drivers are now integrated into the RPi kernel. These are now enabled on selection instead of compiling the drivers from source: Audiophonics I-Sabre 9038Q2M DAC driver | Now in kernel #2690
DietPi-Software | Mycroft AI FOSS voice assistant is now available for install. Many thanks to @LexiconCode for the initial request and all other requesters, FeatHub voters and testers: DietPi-Software | Mycroft AI #1701
DietPi-Software | Resolved some misleading outputs when having VNC Server or GPU using software installed. Many thanks to @mtpiercey for reporting these issues: DietPi-Software | Solve misleading output on CertBot install #2870
DietPi-Software | Deluge: Lowered UMask (007 => 002) to allow read access from e.g. custom Samba shares without "dietpi" user. Many thanks to @radsb for reporting the limited access: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5847
DietPi-Software | FFmpeg: On RPi, the new APT repo package will be installed, which now supports RPi hardware acceleration and is some subversion newer then the package hosted on dietpi.com: DietPi-Software | FFmpeg: Enable HW encoding (RPi) #869 (comment)
DietPi-Software | Gitea: Current stable v1.8.X will be installed now and existing instances will be upgraded during DietPi-Update. Many thanks to @msongz for implementing this: change gitea to 1.8 for stable purpose #2881
DietPi-Software | myMPD: Current upstream version will be installed now and existing instances will be upgraded during DietPi-Update, which requires a config file reset. A backup to recover custom settings from will be created: DietPi-Software | O!MPD/myMPD: Database update fails on current upstream versions #2156 (comment)
DietPi-Software | O!MPD: Current upstream version will be installed now and existing instances will be upgraded during DietPi-Update. Existing config and database will be preserved. YouTube and Tidal support is added now by default. Many thanks to @ArturSierzant for giving valueable feedback and suggestions: DietPi-Software | O!MPD: Install current master + fixes #2884
DietPi-Software | Ampache: Reinstalls will now preserve existing configs and database.
DietPi-Software | Medusa: mediainfo is now installed to enable Medusa gathering meta data and resolving related warnings in log. Additionally, on Stretch and above, Python3 is now installed and used, as recommended by Medusa for a while. Many thanks to @bluesmoke for suggesting this enhancement: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5945
DietPi-Software | Node-RED: "sudo" permissions are now enabled by default: DietPi-Software | Node-RED: Add sudo support by default #2910

Bug Fixes

Network | Resolved an issue where an unintended Ethernet/WiFi IP value was shown if no IP is assigned.
DietPi-Boot | Waiting for network timer now includes the start of 'ifup' for the device. This is to speed up boot time by threading the ifup command and allowing the wait timer to be more accurate.
DietPi-Login | Resolved an issue where login leads to immediate logout if DietPi scripts were not loaded to DietPi-RAMdisk location. Many thanks to @LexiconCode for reporting this issue: DietPi-PREP: Failed to get canonical path of `/dev/simfs'. #2841 (comment)
DietPi-Update | Resolved an issue where after update and reboot DietPi-Banner still shows update available with identical current and server versions.
DietPi-Cleaner | Resolved an issue where the cleaner ran into an endless loop if "Files" cleaner was used. Many thanks to @maartenlangeveld for reporting this issue: DietPi-Cleaner | Endless loop when "Files" cleaner active with files added for removal #2837
DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where idle spin down selection would always default to 241, instead of currently active value: Bug & Improvement: Idle Spindown vs. RootFS on external disk #2852
DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where eCryptfs fstab entries were not detected and preserved correctly. Many thanks to @johnvick for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=18428#p18283
DietPi-Drive_Manager | Resolved an issue where transferring the RootFS to a BTRFS formated drive fails. Since BTRFS support is not natively built into the RPi and Odroid kernel, a warning prompts and the transfer is aborted. Many thanks to @dieitpi for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=18164#p18164
DietPi-Config | Resolved an issue where selecting any locale (language) failed, which does not contain "UTF-8" in its name. DietPi only supports UTF-8 locales, but those available with UTF-8 only, do not have the ".UTF-8" suffix in their name.
DietPi-Software | Resolved an issue where audio software failed to use hardware acceleration on Buster. Users need to be part of the new "render" group on Buster to have permissions. Many thanks to @tomillr for reporting this issue: Native PC | Intel Quick Sync / hardware accelerated AV transcoding #2916
DietPi-Software | MotionEye: Resolved an issue on ARMv6 where install failed due to PHP Buster repo conflicts. Many thanks to @infinitejones for reporting this issue: Installing Motion Cam via dietpi-software manager fails - "you have held broken packages" #2888
DietPi-Software | Ampache: Resolved an issue where database connection failed when a custom global software password (other than "dietpi") was chosen. Many thanks to @warhawk for reporting this issue and solution: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=15771#p15771
DietPi-Software | Desktops: Resolved an issue where PolicyKit failed when logging in via LightDM as non-root user, which broke shutdown and reboot options from logout panel. Many thanks to @magus7091 for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5850
DietPi-Software | Transmission: Resolved an issue where settings applied via web UI did not survive a service restart or reboot. Many thanks to @chosen_too and @Th0maz for reporting this issue: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=17927#p17927

RPi | LXAppearance (on LXDE desktop) hangs on dbus-launch: DietPi-Software | TigerVNC+LXDE: Calling lxappearance crashes VNC virtual desktop #1791
Odroid C2 | Some WiFi adapters do no work as hotspot: Odroid | WiFi Adapter 3 Won't Work as HotSpot #1955
Odroid XU4 | Kodi freezes shortly on video playback: DietPi-Software | Kodi: Video playback freezes after few seconds on Odroid XU4 #2584
Rock64 | 3.5mm A/V jack is currently not functional: Rock64 | 3.5mm audio jack not working #2522
DietPi-Software | Node-RED: Pre-installed modules cannot be updated via web UI: DietPi-Software | Node-RED: Pre-installed modules cannot be updated via webUI #2073
DietPi-Software | Raspimjpeg: With Lighttpd, streaming mjpeg does not work: DietPi-Software | Raspimjpeg does not stream mjpeg with Lighttpd #1747

+ Cleanup

… into dietpi-services_v2

+ DietPi-Software | Airsonic/Subsonic: Currently incompatible with Buster due to Java 8 dependency

+ DietPi-Update | Do not allow insecure connections when downloading update archive, instead show progress bar (instead of default meter) for such a small download, similar to wget output. + DietPi-Update | Prefer curl, do not show progress for tiny downloads but always print errors

+ DietPi-Cleaner | Fix "i" index shared throughout nested functions (Run_Cleaners => Run_Cleaner_2). To be failsafe, localise every loop index in functions once, as general coding style.

+ DietPi-Globals | G_OBTAIN_CPU_TEMP(): Add support for Core2Duo CPUs and make $print_full_info input failsafe.

+ CHANGELOG | v6.25 DietPi-Cleaner fix and Core2Due CPU temp support

+ DietPi-Obtain_network_details | Fix invalid IP string if network interface has no IP assigned

+ CHANGELOG | Network: Resolved an issue where an unintended Ethernet/WiFi IP value was shown if no IP is assigned.

+ DietPi-Globals | G_WHIP_DESTROY(): Unset all $G_WHIP variables instead of resetting them + DietPi-Globals | G_WHIP: Do not declare any $G_WHIP variables when loading DietPi-Globals, instead unset them once to be failsafe + DietPi-Globals | G_WHIP_DESTROY() must run regardless of $G_USER_INPUTS to unset any assigned variables from originating script + DietPi-Globals | G_WHIP: Unset $G_WHIP_RETURNED_VALUE on G_WHIP_INIT() to not have any unintended value from earlier call assigned

+ DietPi-Autostart | Allow to choose (or apply dietpi.txt choice) a login user for all autologin autostart options, besides LightDM, which itself must be initiated as root to prompt a second layer desktop login mask. + DietPi-Autostart | Check and install LightDM package as well when choosing this option via input argument + DietPi-Autostart | Minor coding

+ DietPi-Autostart | Allow to define a login user for all autologin options + dietpi.txt | Add new AUTO_SETUP_AUTOSTART_LOGIN_USER to define the autologin user to be applied on firstrun setup or when running dietpi-autostart with input index

+ DIetPi-Autostart | Do not install LightDM package on selection if no desktop (no xinit) has been installed yet. Leave this to dietpi-software then, which re-applies "dietpi-autostart 7" automatically and installs the package by this.

+ DietPi-Set_software | locale: Fix locales being not selectable which are only available in UTF-8. Their SUPPORTED entry looks like "aa_ER UTF-8", so that $INPUT_MODE_VALUE would be "aa_ER" only and not contain "UTF-8".

+ CHANGELOG | DietPi-Config: Resolved an issue where selecting any locale (language) failed, which does not contain "UTF-8" in its name

+ DietPi-PREP | Add all new non-required/conflicting ARMbian files to removal + DietPi-PREP | Enable serial console on both serial devices by default, so one is active regardless of image creation and target models + DietPi-PREP | Minor coding and wording

+ DietPi-PREP | Coding :)

+ DietPi-PREP | Disable and remove all ARMbian services, especially to catch new zRam implementation, conflicting/bugging RAMlog in cases

+ DietPi-PREP | Remove further new or conflicting ARMbian files/binaries

+ DietPi-PREP | Add initial ROCK Pi 4 definition + DietPi-Obtain_HW_model | Add initial ROCK Pi 4 definition with hardware model ID 72 + DietPi-Software | Raise $MAX_G_HW_MODEL to include new ROCK Pi 4 hardware model ID + META | DietPi-Survey_report: Add new ROCK Pi 4 hardware model ID

+ DietPi-Software | Add Mycroft AI Open Source Voice Assistant as install option + DietPi-Software | Failsafe menu system to revert to main menu in case of invalid $TARGETMENUID, which would otherwise stuck in endless loop + DietPi-Software | Minor coding and wording + DietPi-Set_software | setpermissions: Add Mycroft AI + DietPi-Services | Add Mycroft AI + DietPi-Services | Start cron always last

+ DietPi-Globals | Raise default version

+ DietPi-PREP | Apply G_GIT* variables after DietPi-Globals have been loaded, otherwise they are overwritten by defaults

+ DietPi-Imager | Fix gdisk automation

+ DietPi-Patch | Only patch config.txt if it exists (RPi)

+ DietPi-Obtain_HW_model | Add RPi 4 revising detection and hardware ID (4)

+ DietPi-PREP | Add commented RPi 4 info, just for reference

…nce clear for benchmark reports: 256M/512M

+ DietPi-Software | Add audio software users to the new "render" group on Buster: #2916 + DietPi-Software | When using usermod and defining new supplementary groups, always use "-a" to not override the existing list of supplementary groups + DietPi-Software | When using usermod, never move existing home dir (-m). It fails in most cases where target dir already exists and in other cases an existing home dir in /etc or /var could be moved where interned files MUST stay. + DietPi-Software | Always use $(command -v nologin) for no-login user creation/mod, since the nologin binary already changed its path in the past. + DietPi-Software | rTorrent: Install "mediainfo" now, since the official FFmpeg package that we now install fully supports it.

+ CHANGELOG | Resolved an issue where audio software failed to use hardware acceleration on Buster
