Hi, many thanks for your valuable support and input ! However, I would like to add my 50 cents to the subject: Resolving the issue, I figured out, that DEBIAN renames the ETHERNET interface with some strange characters and numbers: I figured out the name of the LAN interface ip a added the information to /etc/network/interfaces, saved, rebooted and voila..... no more NetworkManager Error. I repeated the same procedure with the Armbian_5.90_Cubietruck_Debian_buster_next_4.19.57 image. However issuing ip a resulting into the interface name of eth0, as the old fashion and well known name. Adding to /etc/network/interfaces, saving and reboot resulted in a booting process without any Network Manager error. Does anybody know, which startup service is responsible in naming the Ethernet interface ? Anything wrong, why it does not add it "automatically" to /etc/network/interfaces, when the system starts up including a LAN cable plugged into the LAN Adapter ? Sorry, for late reply, I was very busy lately! Hope my input helps somewhat ! Best regards Ireng

in all cases i use STATIC IP addresses! enclosed syslog.txt syslog.txt

i am facing the same problem on my hardkernel ODROID XU4, on my CUBIETRUCK 3...prior to the upgrade everything went fine...since the upgrade ===> DEBIAN 10. Buster its all the mess! I use the same hardware, power supply, etc. nothing changed,..... except the software ! The port on the switch is open, the network cable works with my notebook.......

another screenshot.....

I downloaded the stretch image, dd it to a clean, unused micro sd card ===> received the same weird messages, that network interfaces could not be raised and Network Manager failed to rasie the interfaces ! I added the eth0 interface to /etc/network/interfaces ---> rebooted the system-----> eth0 interface disappeared! it is such a nuisance !

What is the problem ?????

Thanks for your numerous comments and advice! i downloaded the image from this website. if there are any mirrors involved i did not know, since there was no inform or advice about it! Only the loopback interface was included in /etc/network/interface and no eth0 interface. My Fritzbox showed the ODROIDXU4 in its webinterface, however pining was not successful at all. How should i update the installation without eth0 interface an internet connection ??? By prayer ? By Inspiration ? Please, advice about an URL for downloading a genuine, non corrupted image! Thanks!! best Regards, ireng

It seams that "good software & support" of the ARMBIAN Distro is something from the past !

This is a new image, downloaded from the website, never been touched (never been upgraded, etc) before, as mentioned in my starting post !

Hello, i prepared a microsd card with the Armbian_5.90_Odroidxu4_Debian_buster_next_4.14.127 image and started my ODROID XU4. However the problem encountered is the failure of the NetworkManager, which of course is a main service to operate the ODROIDXU4. Sofar ARMBIAN images had been very reliable and stable in the past. The failure of starting the Network Manager something unusual for ARMBIAN. Enclosed you'll find a error messages. I appreciate very much your help and supporting comments! regards, Ireng

Ok & thanks! Lets see whats happening after 16. June 2017 ! regrds, Ireng

Hi, will there be an Upgrade Path to DEBIAN 9 of existing ARMBIAN installations or just apt-get dist-upgrade ? Regards, Ireng

Thanks, done already!!
