Successfully installed by following your command.

However, after a reboot, it still enters TEXT mode by default. What's more, startx brings me the following ERROR message: Failed to load module "fbdev"

Failed to load module "fbdev"

...

Fatal server error:

[ 7264.186] (EE) no screens found(EE)

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

Any further suggestions?

Cheers

apt purge nodm lightdm
apt install nodm

Check /etc/default/nodm if it's enable and if a user is your normal user, not root ... in case you don't have a normal user, create one before starting.

I didn't say startx will work. X is started by display manager ... do:

service nodm status

and observe what kind of errors do you see. Did you made "bananapipro" user on your own or with our welcome 1st run script?

I created the user bananapipro at the 1st run script.

And,

service nodm status

gives me

You must have break something ... I made the actual test with exact those steps:

1. Downloaded this https://dl.armbian.com/bananapipro/Ubuntu_bionic_next.7z, created a user at first login script,

2. armbian-config -> system -> install desktop with a browser ... 10 minutes later I have a running desktop, reboot, the desktop comes up automatically

3. Those are logs: http://ix.io/1mgE
