no Display Manager installed

Thanks for reporting this. I unfortunately didn't have time to fix it in the latest release, but I have it fixed and will be sure it is included in the next one.
Replace line 22 in /usr/bin/partbootscript.sh with this:
HOMEPART=$(lsblk --output NAME | grep ${HOMEPART}p | tail -1 | sed 's/.*-//')
The only change is the "p" at the end of homepart.
Sorry for the issue! I'll leave this open for visibility for others until the next release"

I did a few more attempts for USB-C video output and wanted to share the information with you.
When I remove pulseaudio from the system, the video output from USB-C is running.
When I re-install pulseaudio the image on the screen goes.
I'm using the dark dk-ac-u31x32 model converter, I've experienced it with my L950xl phone, both audio and video transfer are working smoothly

Hi kardanadm,
This simply means the TUN driver is not built/compiled with the kernel. As a result there is no tunnel device, and OpenVPN cannot make use of it.
You could try to recompile the kernel with the TUN driver, or you could ask Luke or MrFixit to include it in the next version

Thanks for reporting this. Ok, will let mrfirix2001 know. It will likely find its way into new image -- we're focusing on improving what there already is at this time, over adding new features (that will come later).
RE: Feature Complete Debian Desktop Release - kardanadm - 04-08-2019
Thank you @Luke, Good luck with
RE: Feature Complete Debian Desktop Release - Hickson44 - 04-11-2019
Very cool work, thank you Lukacz and mrfixiit2001
Do you know if it will be possible install /boot on the emmc and the rest of / on an nvme drive for next release ?
And when the next released is going to be released also

The next release will mostly be all about stability and improvements. There are a lot of things that needs to be fixed and some of them do not have straight-forward solutions.
Will be released as soon as mrfixit2001 is happy with it ;

DOWNLOAD:
The download is available on the GitHub release
VIDEO PREVIEW:
Lukasz recorded a quick demo / intro to the capabilities for this release which can be viewed below
The video was taken prior to me correcting some of the MPV code so it doesn't showcase 4K, but that is now supported in the final release (30fps only).
INTRODUCTION:
This is a custom Debian Mate desktop build based on my minimal image. The great majority of hardware features of the RockPro64, such as WiFi/BT SDIO module and PCIe, work on this image!
Please reference the aforementioned minimal build thread to learn of the details for a minimal Debian install.
This build is meant to bring full fledged desktop functionality to the RockPro64 (and, in the future, to the Pinebook Pro) with an appreciation for end-user ease of use. We hope that the image manages to balance out-of-the-box usability, an aesthetic look and performance with sparsity of preinstalled applications, so that each user can tweak the experience to their individual liking and use-case.
INCLUDED:- Mate desktop at 1080p (with 4K as optional*) with Arc theme + icons, custom layout and background
- Glamor accelerated Xorg with window compositing; running smooth as butter on default settings
- Accelerated Chromium browser, with WebGL and WebGL 2.0 as well as accelerated video playback in browser - including 1080p Youtube and similar services
- SMPlayer: Accelerated playback of 1080p and 720p local media
- MPV Player: 4K @ 30fps playback of local media (right click 4k video -> select MPV Player)
- OpenGL 3D acceleration via GL4ES; so if you want to play games then you’re in luck!
- Set of common desktop utilities as well as some quality of life additions, including: LibreOffice, caja-share (SMB GUI), Synaptic Package Manager, Puseaudio (for GUI audio output source selection), Mate Tweak (for desktop tweaks), GPARTED, handy applet to set CPU governor (non-scaling by default), etc.
- Endless number of tweaks for smooth desktop performance
Experimental:- [edit Luke - moved from untested] USB-C video output
LOGIN:
User credentials: rock/rock
Root credentials root/root
FIRST BOOT:
The first boot will take longer to boot and then immediately reboot once time, this is to auto-size your system to the full capacity of your SD card or eMMC
REPORTING ISSUES:
This is an initial release of the OS image and, as with any such release, some things may not work as intended or break. To help us fix the issues you’re experiencing, please provide any relevant information when reporting problems; we presently don’t have a crystal ball on hand, so we are heavily reliant on logs to deduce the nature of the issue you’re experiencing. The preinstalled Hexchat takes you directly to #Rock64 in the IRC (please immediately change your nick using /nick after you enter the channel).
KNOWN ISSUES:- Chromium cannot be updated (it has been removed from apt update list on purpose) as it is custom and updating will break it's functionality
- Installing Iceweasel (Firefox) via apt will not work. If Firefox is something you need then we know this .deb works, altho it's an older version
- Thunderbird doesn’t work, you probably need a deb (armhf) for it too, or a custom compilation.
- Some OpenGL 3D applications will either not work correctly with GL4ES OR will only work in full screen at native resolution of your monitor (e.g. Tux Racer Extreme) when downloaded via apt. For most of these, the fix is to compile from source with necessary flags, rather than installing via apt to get them working.
- LCD eDP and DSI / TP panels do not work … yet
- [edit 17/03/2019 Luke] Low volume output on headphone jack
- [edit 18/03/2019] the board locks up when mounting a PCIe drive as user (not root).
UNTESTED:- Cameras from PINE64 store
APPRECIATION
Please remember this is a community build, and just something we have worked on in our free time. There's no pressure at all, but if you appreciate the work then feel free to send me a buck on Paypal: mrfixit2001 at gmail.
While I have done a great deal of debugging and development from a programming standpoint, the credit for the way the desktop interface is setup goes completely to Lukasz. He spent a LOT of time configuring it and setting it up to look so great!
Lastly, thanks to all of YOU for being part of the community!
- Mr Fix IT Great job!
Could you provide the kernel .config file?
I'd like to see if I can get the I2C & SPI modules built and installed.
TIA,
Faradn
