    Read carefully - only LAN works on the EDGE version, HDMI does not work.

    This is for attaching the device itself to the wall or to the body of a large device (for example, a monitor, via a VESA mount)
     
    I think the rubber bands are glued and they can be carefully peeled off (I peeled off such rubber bands and nothing happened to them). If there is not enough regular glue when re-gluing, you can lubricate them with another glue and glue them with an offset from the attachment points, so that you can then easily have access to the fastening screws.

    Yay, I have just installed nodm via armbian-config and it takes "root" user straight to the desktop. Nice! Thank you for pointing me to the right direction!
    (I first tried the Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20171226.img.xz and it was behaving the same, so I reverted to Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180203 image)
    So now it's working as it expected (without wifi though, only ethernet).
    I only need some tool to backup the Android 7.1.2 (TWRP didn't work) and then install to eMMC. Do you know any method for a full backup of Android on this box?
    (I've tried the method described here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2419-armbian-for-amlogic-s905-and-s905x/ but I get some error regarding the backup location-I still didn't figure out how to select SD card for backup)

    I can't remember all the options, but I think "armbian-config" has a switch to go directly to the Desktop or not.
    And "nodm" must be properly configured see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nodm

    These are my MXQ https://raspberryparatorpes.net/rivales/rivales-raspberry-pi-mxq-pro-4k-y-mxq-pro-plus/
    Related to the performance of the OS, the system go quite well in my MXQ PRO PLUS (2GB RAM) but have micro freezes or hang for 1 second every minute in MXQ PRO (1GB RAM).
    I flashed Ubuntu Mate and Debian Server. But the image installed to the eMMC is Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20171226.img.xz
    To install in the eMMC I use the option in armbian-config tool. You can launch from Terminal with: 
    sudo armbian-config I can't remember where it is exactly in the menu tree. Bear in mind when you choose to Install (install in SATA, NAND or something like this say the option) you lose the Android and the option don't ask for confirmations. 
     
    Kind regards.

    I have another MXQ Pro Plus 4K and works quite well.
    https://raspberryparatorpes.net/rivales/rivales-raspberry-pi-mxq-pro-4k-y-mxq-pro-plus/
    I flashed finally Linux in eMMC memory. 
    Normally the system must start in graphic mode but asking for an user and password. 
    If you want to go straight to the Desktop you must install "nodm" ( sudo apt install nodm ) and maybe remove "lightdm". I don't have any flickering or video issues. 
    Regards

    Hello,
    First, thanks everybody here for making this possible.
    Second, I am a newbie on booting Linux on TV box, so bear with me. Thanks.
    My problem:
    I have a MXQ Pro+ 4k (2GB RAM - 16GB storage - Android 7.1.2 - 64bit) box and have tried most of the recent images for x905s based TV boxes, following the instructions on the first page of this topic.
    I have a semi-workable result using Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180203, but still it is not really usable.
    I wrote this image to USB 3.0 stick and booted after updating via local update on Android.
    After setting user I can only access desktop after typing ctrl+alt+f1 -> login -> startx.
    The system doesn't login automatically and I get a lot of screen flickering with messages regarding lightdm and light desktop manager.
    What am I doing wrong? How do I get to desktop automatically? Can anyone help, please?
    (please ask if I didn't specify all the necessary details)
    Thanks.
