MEMEs

Thank you for this!!

Quick fixes sometimes doesn't work. I didn't test this feature. Have to check where I made a mistake and do it again ... but again we are back to the theme. Try using build tools.

As said, i understand your case. I see you do your best and I thank you for that. All the best with the development of armbian.

Hi,
 
I’ve found a fix for xrdp. The permissions required fixing!
 
For a non-root user, Xorg is not starting because it is not able to write the Xorg.10.log file to the location /home/{user}/.local/share/xorg
 
This xorg directory needs to be created with user ownership not root!
 
i.e.
 
sudo mkdir /home/user/.local/share/xorg sudo chown user:user /home/user/.local/share/xorg  
FWIW, I found out this by connecting to the xrdp and sesman services, having them running in the foreground to see the diagnostic output.
window 1. sudo systemctl stop xrdp.service sudo mkdir -p /var/run/xrdp/sockdir sudo xrdp -ns window 2. sudo /usr/sbin/xrdp-sesman -ns  
When connecting from the client (in my case xfreerdp) window 2 showed  
-[20190224-19:06:54] [INFO ] Xorg :10 -auth .Xauthority -config xrdp/xorg.conf -noreset -nolisten tcp (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Cannot open log file "/home/adrian/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.10.log" (EE) (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. (EE)  
BTW, on my desktop build I’ve installed xorgxrdp and done “dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy” to configure xorg access for anybody rather than console.
 
You shouldn’t need to install VNC services (tightvncserver etc…) for your xrdp experience!
 
Hope this helps.

Buster images were just rebuilt .. try and forget about u-boot loader updating - it is manual update only. Don't touch it. You don't need that and all those boards are still fresh in term of support so bugs are here and there. Buster is also very very new and bugs are there as well. Bugs + bugs. Be happy that it boots  

Desktop doesn't start or board? Yes, it helps.

Try boot previous images and make an update, reboot. update boot loader from armbian-config -> system and reboot. Then report how it went.

Read the whole context. That is for installing Docker on your Intel desktop PC to be able to (cross)compile Armbian from sources.
 

Update image to latest and use armbian-config -> software -> softy to install Docker.
