I read the thread about not being able to get debian booting and after many attempts managed to boot by writing with dd.
I notice that the debian image has 2 partitions while the Ubuntu image has 7. Is there a trick to writing Ubuntu to the SD? I've tried etcher too. I'd really appreciate any pointers. Initially I thought it might be a problem with my PBP but I'm not too sure now I've seen it boot debian from SD. I've also had android booting from SD.
That's interesting, as I can't boot Ubuntu LXDE either. I'm going to check Mate version, but I guess I'll receive the same result. Well ,I think I'll try then Debian version...
I, too, can't get the Bionic Mate SD to boot. I've tried flashing the SD with gnome disks and dd, I've tried expanding the root partition to fill the empty space on the card using gparted (which also asked to fix the GPT to include the extra space), and I've tried a 32GB SD as well as a 128GB SD. What steps can be taken to troubleshoot this? I'm using the default debian 9 stretch OS on the PBP to flash the image bionic-mate-pinebookpro-0.9.14-1159-armhf.img from https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/iinux-b...mhf.img.xz. The seven partitions were a surprise to me, too.
