I downloaded "Armbian_5.04_Bananapipro_Ubuntu_trusty_3.4.110_desktop.zip" but after installing I found that it  has two  basic issues >>

(1) Mounting of USB sticks .. 

(2)  No preinstalled classical Network manager .. so I wonder how to connect USB EVDO type modems in absence of network manager ?

 

P.S :- target Board is Banana pi.

1. usb mounting will be fixed in next release. It's already fixed if you build on your own.

2. we use simple network manager called wicd which cover basic functionality. For more, you are on your own.

 

We will not expand desktop image much more than what it is now - our focus is core functionality. If someone joins and takes care of desktop development, than we might see better desktop.

Dear Igor , I am 100% NOOB in Linux world ... my background is from Micro controllers developments on windows platform .

Agreed BUT still..i think network manager too comes under Basic ... that helps user with more options ... hope you will consider this...
