I am new to Ambian and am trying to boot up to it for the first time. I have both an Orange Pi 6 Plus and an Orange Pi Zero 3. Using the Armbian Imager, I had no problem finding the images recomended for my units. My problem is that neither of the devices can boot up to the desktop.
They will boot up to a text console where I can configure Wifi, root password, intitial user name, and locale. After that, they state that they are starting the desktop or running some script and continue no further. That I see uniform and reliable failure across the images and the devices make me think that I may be doing something wrong. But I cannot find some step documented somewhere that I am missing.
I am using a power supply that is also branded Orange Pi capable of up to 100 watts on both units. I am able to run other OS images on both units, but not Armbian. Is there some trick or additional step that is required for these to successfully boot up?
Images tried on the Zero 3:
Armbian 26.11.0 XFCE
Armbian 26.11.0 Minimal
Images tried on the 6 plus:
Armbian 26.8.3 Minimal
Armbian 26.8.3 GNOME
Armbian 26.8.3 KDE
