just removed the emmc card and booted from SD of a fresh downloaded 4.4.174 Armbian (5.75) and it booted into desktop OK! No mention of rockchip_dri.so in X.org.log and the display manager is /usr/sbin/nodm So now I just need to figure out what caused the original problem after apt-get update & apt-get upgrade caused the problem going from 4.4.167 to 4.4.174 When I reinstalled the Desktop from armbian-config it may have made things worse by installing lightdm. I'd find it surprising if apt-get upgrade would have caused the display manager to flip from nodm to lightdm

looks like somebody did not test the lightDM release properly ... gbm: failed to open any driver (search paths /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri:${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri) gbm: Last dlopen error: /usr/lib/dri/rockchip_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory failed to load driver: rockchip Couldn't open libEGL.so.1: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Right found the culprit ,,,, its the display manager lightdm It was upgraded to version lightdm 1.26.0 and then it broke the desktop on pine's RockPro64 I will have to learn how to run LightDM in debug mode syslog:Mar 3 13:08:28 rockpro64_0 systemd[1]: lightdm.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart. syslog:Mar 3 13:08:28 rockpro64_0 systemd[1]: lightdm.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5. syslog:Mar 3 13:08:28 rockpro64_0 systemd[1]: lightdm.service: Start request repeated too quickly. syslog:Mar 3 13:08:28 rockpro64_0 systemd[1]: lightdm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I am going backwards through earlier kernels ... I was on 14.4.167 and I have just booted back to that version, and its still not booting into the desktop despite reinstalling it via armbian-conf So it suggest that its not the kernel and the problem must have been caused by one of the packages released since feb or some firmware has been upgraded.

Anybody else seen this ? Just upgraded and after a reboot Armbian wont boot into desktop. Xorg Looks good with no errors and I can see the kernel boot screen and log in via ssh. If I disconnect and reconnect the HDMI I get the following ... but nothing appears on the monitor [ 1733.805014] rockchip-vop ff900000.vop: [drm:vop_crtc_enable] Update mode to 1920x1080p60, type: 11 The screen remains on as it can detect the graphics display .... its just blank what display manager does Armbian use ?
