Thanks, what about "Switch User" ? "Lock Screen" is not working also...

How to "Enable switch user and Login Welcome in gui?"

Hi, I installed armbian onto eMMC. Frankly, I expected better results. Please anybody confirm what I understood. 1. The sequence reading speed is 70MBytes/s. 2. The sequence writing speed is 10MBytes/s. 3. eMMC is not optimized for random operations. 4. When writing operation is performed, the system gets VERY SLOW to respond. And the couple of questions. 1. What utility and where to get to benchmark disks well? 2. Will USB SSD perform with better performance than eMCC? Thanks a lot in advance and hope to see this in the FAQ. Dmitry

I would like to add a remark that my feeling is that hardware developers forgot to put somewhere a resistor which support ground or VCC and some pin is "in the air" because of it sometimes when system warm it can start normally... something like that... I am not sure.

Yes, this is OK. BUT only after "fresh" dd if=image When I tried to do this things on the image which was already inserted in Orange PI with old u-boot, i.e. I was already tried to start it then it was not working. Logs are in the attachment for your review in case of interest. Thanks a lot for the help! log1.txt log2.txt

Is U-boot somewhere between 0 sector and first partition? Can somebody give .bin of it and tell where it starts? I will "BE PATIENT" for a week or so...

Another log file is attached. Something wrong... log4.txt

Are you asking me about something?

After apt-get upgrade and shutdown the luck came to an end. Looks like U-Boot also upgraded. The Green Led is always ON but: What is it??? Any Idea???

Xenial Server Trying to boot from MMC2 BUT the green led is ON After about 10 minutes!: Power OFF/ON (Cycle) Trying to boot from MMC1 !!!!!!!!! After that the image loaded restarted, loaded again from MMC1 Login: root Change password Change Display setting Reboot to take effect Booted into Android on internal flash Power cycling Booted into Ubuntu All those things followed with some errors. I do not know if they are vital...

What is VERY strange for me is that without SD card inserted the output of UART is completely different. I believe that something on start should be the same??? ----------------- auto@cors40u:~$ head orange.log HELLO!

Perfect! Thank you guys! I will try harder! But I would like your last comments go to the FAQ. Clear, Understanding, Perfect! Of course for the novice but what it is you guys must want our circle to grow. Thanks again, no questions anymore this time. PS. But one remark I would like to make: some flashing leds must be during boot up to give advise to the others that everything is going on the way during some seconds. I believe the image can include such software feature. For example why give someone a hope that something can be fine if it is not going to be. Please look at the others who developed such software. "BE PATIENT" is not the case. Must be some expectations.

I knew about pgp 20 years ago. Are we going back to the Future? 1. I want md5sum /dev/sdc1 This is only the FASTEST TRUE way to check if everything is right with the image burnt already. 2. I need to know if the leds do not flash/lights in 10 seconds does it worth to wait for 5 minutes or MORE? or start to think what is wrong? How patient should I be? What does this term mean on Orange PI official web-site? "BE PATIENT" = how much time? 3. Still nobody advised if EXT4 is good for direct booting by small PC? Why am I asking? Because EXT4 is not simple like FAT and needs drivers to be preloaded or at least such trick boot system like grub is. Is that so difficult to document for novice users like I am? If I need to dance with debug tools around usb in such a VERY trivial situation I would rather prefer to quit back to OTHER system. Sorry to say that in the community which I would like to join.
