if you are not seeing option to enable in armbian-config you can try: sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-terminal lightdm -y or sudo apt install xfce4-goodies -y

I do not have your board but have you tied looking in armbian-config?

posting output of : armbianmonitor -u Helps with support.

check you power supply and soc temps

First thing backup all the configs with another linux computer. Then you can try to chroot the sd card on the other linux computer and run passwd as root.

IMO the best choice is something with hdmi port.

you can try: sudo systemctl status rpcbind if there are any problems or it's not enabled try: sudo systemctl enable rpcbind sudo systemctl start rpcbind

You need to seek support from his repo. We only can support builds from: https://github.com/armbian/build/

Which image are you using to boot?

https://source.android.com/

Also Check your PSU if the problem is intermittent.

try: sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 93D6889F9F0E78D5 sudo gpg --export 93D6889F9F0E78D5 | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/armbian-configng.gpg > /dev/null

sudo armbian-config

Put a multi meter on the PSU you are using to power the pi a flakey PSU can cause strange intermittent issues same for router.

Are you trying to boot from spi with system on nvme? or trying to boot another system on a sd card?

It looks like your board is advertising 1000mbps probably something with your router port/cable/switch/powersupply.

try: sudo apt update sudo apt install wireless-regdb crda

Can you share armbianmonitor -u

MCP2515 is a standalone controller that communicates via SPI so yes it is possible.

I occasionally add overlays with armbianEnv.txt. sudo apt update && sudo apt install hdparm
