March 26, 20251 yr Hello, this is my first time setting up orange pi + Armbian Linux. I'm a linux newbie. I've been trying to install various version of the Debian 12 Desktop images working. I can always get into it via SSH but never get a display out via HDMI except fro Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Gnome Images Success Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.99_gnome_desktop Images Failed Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_current_6.12.13_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_current_6.12.13_xfce_desktop After SSH and setting up roo/user accounts I always get to the message Now starting desktop environment... But it doesn't do anything afterwards. I've done initial troubleshooting verifying that HDMI cables work using different monitors Trying different power supplies trying different microSDs Is there something else I can check on the Debian bookworm variants to see what the issue is? Thanks for taking a look. Edited March 26, 20251 yr by spyda_mayn
March 27, 20251 yr 8 hours ago, spyda_mayn said: current_6.12.13 This is more or less expected for current since the HDMI implementation in this LTS version is very basic/incomplete. Features were and still are in development and did not make it into this version. If you need desktop use edge or vendor.
March 27, 20251 yr Author @Michael Robinson https://paste.armbian.com/milumavona @Werner Thanks pointing that out. Where can I get the edge/vendor versions?
March 27, 20251 yr If there are no pre-built version available, use the build framework to create your own: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/
March 27, 20251 yr Author @Werner something I noticed with testing Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_current_6.12.13_xfce_desktop The HDMI display would output on a 4k display but did NOT display any output on other various resolutions 27" 1440 , 34" 1440p ultrawide, or 2560x1600 portable monitor
March 28, 20251 yr Author Solution I used armbia-config to install an edge kernal linux-image-edge-rockchip64=25.2.2 v6.14.0-rc4 this resolved my hdmi issue on all my monitors listed in my previous reply Edited March 28, 20251 yr by spyda_mayn
