Thanks! I tested the desktop version. It works )) However when I connect with SSH client and give startx, I can't see it (desktop) in the SSH client. Is it possible to see it in the client at all?

I made this: As explained in "How to upgrade into simple desktop environment?" apt-get -y install xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme reboot However I haven't seen any changes... I run startx, the process started but also nothing changed... What are my mistakes? Thanks!

Hi. I tried to search the forum but it seems I put wrong search words... How should I install the display so I can run Geany (IDE)? Here is my data http://sprunge.us/WWGg

That is how I think for now. Yes!!! But it seems everything rather clear before you start to do something. I bought the hdd because on some forum I read that to boot from hdd is a better choice than from SD... Is it true that SDs do not like constant writing-deleting? What about eMMC?

The result of 'sudo armbianmonitor -u': /var/log/armhwinfo.log has been uploaded to http://sprunge.us/afXS Yes, it is not a problem to try another image. Now the system takes 19% of eMMC. If it is enough space for me is it a good choice to use eMMC for server and storing files? (So excluding SD)

So if I did this apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install -f apt-get upgrade apt-get autoremove -y I upgraded the system to 5.20? How can I check this? Am I right that in my case the best choice is to use just eMMC (install a server and put my programms here)? Is SATA connection of OPi+ just a commercial trick? Is there some use in it?

I downloaded the following file Armbian_5.14_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_3.4.112.7z. Or maybe I can check the system via the shell? Now I can boot from eMMC (disconnecting the HDD was crutial?) For now I try everything for learning purposes - this is my first encounter with SBC. I want to make a Web server to show information from temperature sensors. I also want to control the outputs via web page. I understand the information about speed of the different usb-hdd bridges. Still if I want to use the HDD with inbuilt GL830 what should be my next step? I want to install lighttpd. Is it a good choice?

Thanks, Martinayotte. I searched my /dev directory and I see mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk1, mmcblk1boot0, mmcblk1boot1, mmcblk1p1 (nothing more concerning mmc). Where should I copy the bin file? Is there some book/resource which explains why I do this? PS: I made boot SD again and used nand-sata-install with option boot from eMMC. PPS: I repeated your command as it is, removed the SD - system reboots due to panic.

Thanks, Arox. Can you please describe how should I install /boot and root on eMMC? I tried nand-sata-install but the system still doesn't start without SD.

Hi. My platform is Orange Pi Plus. I connected SATA HDD and installed Armbian. Using nand-sata-install I created the following scenario: boot from SD, system on SATA. I also installed lighttpd. Several days everything works fine and than: ...file system on the root filesystem failed … rebooting automatically due to panic= boot argument... After that the PC just reboots constantly and I can do anything. The only solution I found is to repeat the process of boot SD creation. But after that I need to install everything again. All this I already did for several times... What maybe the reason of this error? Can I exclude the SD card and use eMMC instead? Is there anything I can try in this situation? Thanks.
