Hello, i am a "newbee"  , just got yesterday my orange pi and did not get it working..... 

 

after hours i managed 

 

but it is strange ( i think )

 

the orange does NOT start with NO monitor cable attached..... it does does NOT start with a hdmi-dvi converter.... ( that i found on the web ).

 

The ONLY way i get it started is :

 

1 - HDMI cable attached to a HDMI monitor 

 

AND 

 

2 - Power button pushed 

 

AND

 

3 - then as last one plugin the power cable....

 

   

 

is that normal ?. i doubt it , that is why i ask...

 

also then I have armbian working, super, no problem. but when hitting the restart button in Armbian the orange Pi plus 2e shuts down and...... thats it...... only starts again by repeating steps 1 to 3.......

 

 

 

 

If you want to have picture on the screen, monitor must be attached at the boot time since it performs auto detection. There are problems with some HDMI2DVI adaptors, but we have a solution for this (kernel 3.4.113). It's called h3disp (run as root and read what pops out).

What kind of power supply are you using?

I am using the power supply that I got with the orange pi.

 

In the meantime i noticed that when using the

 

orangepizero     Ubuntu_xenial_dev_nightly.7z

 

it starts without any problem. 

 

It does NOT with the orangepiplus2e/     Ubuntu_xenial_default_desktop.7z
