Armbian 25.11.2 for ROCK5 ITX released

[Bobbox]

Yesterday I was happy to see the new and fresh Armbian release for the Rock 5 ITX after about 1 year from the last update.

I also tried the Armbian Imager and the SD creation was very easy and smooth. 

I selected the recommended release based on Ubuntu 24.04 + Gnome desktop.

Unfortunately when the desktop was about to start, everything when black, stucked and zero interface. On the other hand, the OS is alive and I can connect remotely via SSH.

Did anyone have the same problem? Possible solution?

 

[EDIT]. 

sudo systemctl restart gdm and desktop pops up. Restarting the system, black again.

We have hundreds of releases and multiple per version per board  hard to tell from this which kernel or which exactly

i make a wild guess and the kernel you tried is 6.12.y which isn't good for desktop. try 6.1.115 (with mesa-vpu extension, not sure if there are pre-made ones) or  6.18, 6.19 mainline kernel.
