Hey all, wasn't sure where to post this so I figured here is fine. I was wonderng: Is there a repository of older armbian releases? Specifically: Tinkerboard S Armbian Bionic 4.19.y Desktop Kernel.
For the past couple months I've been developing on my ASUS Tinkerboard S running the Armbian Bionic 4.19.y Desktop release.
However, sometime recently, the updated 4.4.y release came out for Armbian Bionic Desktop. I tried it, and it turns out one of the updates actually break a decent part of my system I had working (partly due to the lack nodm on the system now, which was warned). I'll update my system eventually, but it's not really worth it for the near future.
This would be all fine and dandy - except now there's no trace of the 4.19.y desktop kernel - ONLY the mainline kernal version is there. My main application of the tinkerboard system I had set up relied heavily on a desktop environment. I of course have a backup of the 4.19.y desktop, but it'd be nice / reassuring if there was a place online I could find it.
Thanks!

Cool. You will need to adopt this fix for lightdm since we change it to lightdm + autologin https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/1404 "switched from nodm to lightdm display manager by default: nodm has one cosmetic bug which makes the desktop reload when you initiate shutdown. You think it already unloaded, but it loads again ... than it shutdowns. Its a known bug in this display manager for years and nobody wants to fix it. I really don't want to deal also with that. armbian-config way was already switched to light display manager, autologin function is implemented"
Okay great! Fixing that cosmetic shutdown bug will be nice. When will the next release build be? Assuming that that's when this change from nodm to lightdm will be launched.

Also figured out how to disable mouse cursor at all times, permanently (until undone):
in the /etc/default/nodm file, find the line with nodm_x_options='-nolisten tcp' and add '-nocursor' , ending up with nodm_x_options='-nolisten tcp -nocursor'

Figured a big part of it out - I simply added console=tty0 to the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file. Didn't realize this was an option until I scoured through the arm /boot/boot.cmd file. Thanks again!
Another issue (I can post this as a separate post in the forums):
How can I hide the mouse pointer at all times? Like I said this is for a touchscreen application.

Hi Igor,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I am unaware of how to redirect the boot log using /boot/armbianEnv.txt. I tried setting verbosity=0 which changed nothing, and disabling the getty service appeared to have no effect either.
That video you sent me seems perfect for our use case. How did you achieve that? Is there another forum post that describes how to achieve this? I searched the entire forum and was unable to find it, if so.
Thanks!

Hello all,
My team and I are trying to use the ASUS Tinkerboard S (running Armbian Bionic v4.19.7, i.e. ubuntu bionic 18.04) as a platform to host a webapp, with a touchscreen as the user interface.
We've successfully set up the Tinkerboard S to open chromium-browser in kiosk mode on startup using systemd, and a script that launches `chromium-browser --kiosk --app=server_url`.
Our next step is to customize the boot process with the following changes:
- none (or as few as possible) lines of text while the services are starting up
- include a splash screen with our company logo, if possible
Any advice on how to accomplish this or where to look to get started would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I've partially answered my own question: I kept the direct download link bookmarked, and it still works for downloading the 4.19.y Desktop version of Armbian Bionic (For ASUS Tinkerboard S). Can anyone confirm if this link will stay active?
