Feature Complete Debian Desktop Release

[Luke]

So far I only faced that when going to settings yes: chrome://settings/
it does load but then a second or two after it loaded I get the Aw, snap, something went wrong

Ah yes, looks like its a known issue actually (when using acceleration on this version of chromium). OK, thanks for letting us know.

I have been trying to compile your new source code all day using your own debian image to compile I get errors like this (These happen during cross compile as well):

make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:277: security/security.o] Error 1

I did manage to get the kernel built / compiled using the armbian image BUT with a PCIE card in the PCIE slot I get kernel panics with the new dtb file and the system refuses to boot on first boot after power on but when / if it does boot the pcie card is not found. I am attaching a dmesg of the board booted with a pcie card in the slot. I am currently rebuilding the kernel with the previous rockpro64.dts to see if it works.

Edit:

Rockpro crashed before compile finished still seems unstable and unusable.

Edit 2:

The kernel source is also missing the dptx.bin file which causes another error later in the compile.

AWSOME !!!!! Well done guys this is amazing ,,,,, fantastic work .... really pleased .... i'm going to test NvME PCIe + BlueTooth Wifi module now.

Again thanks so much for your hard work on this ... its really appreciated 1st time in 6 months I have not been able to crash the desktop within 10min.

Even audio works :-)

this means a lot to me thanks :-)

On Youtube and Netflix, video strutters a lot with 1080p, is there anything that can be done (CPU governator is in performance mod (pretending nothing, i know it is a community build, only asking)?
Apart from that, is it possible in this distro to make something similar (in a simple way): https://www.hackster.io/austin-stanton/c...irc-2fd581, using LIRC to send and receive IR command through GPIO (i have 2 pin diodes, on chip there are 3 pin slots for IR receiver, ((only receiver?)))?
By the way, really well done, a nice and useable distro!!!

Dam .... sorry to break it to you guys ,,,,, the PCIe NVMe problem causing the Desktop to hang when logging in as a non root user (strangely when you log inas root it works although chromium wont launch) is still there just like it is in Armbian

#backtosquareone

I have not even connected the BlueTooth\WiFi Dongle yet

But I am still deleteriously happy .... I can at least get Eclipse working in Debian so I can start developing more efficiently 

@Luke did you ever get a fix for the NVMe Desktop hang ? I believe you mentioned that it was associated with the Audio Drivers ? I can not remember if you fixed it by using pulse audio or Alsa ?

Thx
Simon

Watch Netflix and youtube on the Root desktop. more fluent and undistorted.

Working on it (mostly on, sometimes off) for months now... nope, issue not solved.

PCIe issues have been resolved!

[Slam]

Will test tonight. Thank you for this great update!

[pbut5]

Excellent. Updated kernel source? So I can build and test to see if my issue is fixed.

I tried just copying the compiled dtb from your image to my rockpro but that didn't help. Maybe a recompile with the modules I need will?

Edit 1:
@Mrfixit2001

I tried rebuilding the kernel source with the modules I need for my dvb pcie card and your kernel still refuses to boot with anything connected to the pcie. I have tried 3 different dvb cards and a basic nic and I just get kernel panics and it eventually reboots.
