If you guys want Bionic, I can remove stretch, and link it. You should try to download stretch again, and try a different SD card before anything else.

Has it booted at all?

When mine died, it was in text mode, playing Mp3's

yes, I ran mine from SD the whole time, but my box died because I never upgraded the cpu heatsink, they run too hot unless you upgrade. I even installed Python, and used a usb to 12s so I could control inputs and outputs for controlling things

From what I remember it wasn't possible at the time it was abandoned

I can upload Bionic also, but I have to remove Stretch first due to space on dropbox. Bionic is newer, but Bionic had more issues with it on my box. Install a bigger heatsink, or fan because my box failed due to overheating.

This was the best working version, I also have bionic https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cubr0yu3t9garv3rxzarg/Armbian_5.67_Aml-s805_Debian_stretch_default_3.10.108_desktop_20181207.img-1.xz?rlkey=remqj5qcnwyjl3t943qj3uh4l&dl=0

I did find the files in a backup, now have to find a way to post them...

I have been looking, but all of the links are dead, I might have a copy, but I possibly deleted it a month or 2 ago. I will look some more tomorrow, I might have it in a backup, I will let you know

I have stopped working with the box, since mine failed, and the Raspberry Pi zero is cheap again. The last old image was working well before my box failed, the S805 was no longer supported when I started using it. I had bought it for $1 at a hamfest as a project to figure them out.

yes, there may be a different program that behaves differently, I've never used vnc

Is there a different program you can try?

Let me know if this solves the issue?

I've read the processor may be overheating because the heatsink is not designed for the workload the chip is doing under Armbian, perhaps that is the reason mine failed. It may help to increase the size of the heatsink, maybe try it with the cover off for a test?
