  1. You mentioned that it's a fake.  Possibly because it is a copy it may have not be a perfect copy and that may be why you can't find firmware that will work with it. Also, the only place to find official Armbian images.

     

    Have you tried building your own image using the Armbian build tools?  That way you can customise the image you're building to your requirements.

     

    Read the Armbian documentation:  https://docs.armbian.com/

     

     

  2. Yup. That's an oops on my part.  If you've got one, use a USB to Serial card to connect a computer to the serial debug port on the SBC and you'll be able to login to the system that way and then try diagnose the issue that way.

    See: https://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/ROC-RK3568-PC/debug.html

     

    When I started with my Banana Pi Pro I could not get any video to display on the HDMI port right from the beginning.  When I got a USN-to-Serial bridge I completed the initial setup using that method and, mysteriously, the HDMI port started to work and still works to this day.

  3. @cryk_ Have you run a file system check and repair on the root file system?  There are conditions where if the file system is not clean then the root file system is always mounted as read-only.

    Also check the /etc/fstab file and make sure there are no errors and/or inconsistencies in there.

     

    Also see:  https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2016/03/forcefsck-on-reboot/. Should work on an Armbian built system. I believe it is safe to invoke e2fsck on a read-only root file system as nothing is getting written. It's dangerous to use e2fsck on a read-write root file system and I don't believe e2fsck will allow you to perform repair operations on a read-write enabled file system.

  4. Is there a file named ....

    .xsession

    .... in that user's home directory and if there is, what is the contents of that file?

     

    I had the same issue not too long ago and I had this file there with its contents being ....

    "xfce4-session"

    After reviewing the logs I removed that file (it was not needed in my case) and the xfce4 desktop started.
