Pine A64 does only boot with Android 5.1
#3
Thank you tophneal for your reply.

Using the 2.0 port and rufus did work only for Armbian 22.05 Jammy XFCE. Didn't try it with android.
I can not tell what the difference between this combination and the 3.0/Etcher como is, but that worked out.
Of course there is another "but". The problem here is, that i'm stuck with the cli in armbian jammy.
I doublechecked if i downloaded the desktop-version, and i did, but it did boot in the cli instead of a gui. So i did set up the cli-version i.e. Upgrade the system.

I also, and i think that might caused the issue, tried to set up a password. Since this Pine is just ment to stream Netflix on my tv once in a while so that i dont have to use my old, big and loud laptop, armbian rejected my good old "1234" password as too simple. After 3 new tries of using Upper letters, digits and specials, i got logged in as root. While a cli is very good for server purposes, it is not very practical for gui-based purposes.

Shouldn't it boot in gui-mode to setup the OS on the first place? I read in a forum, you can run apps with a gui from the cli by typing "explore display=:0 (or any specific number)". I gave it a shot and nothig happens. Not a supprise.

What am i doing wrong here?
