Star64 apps crashing constantly

[Der Geist der Maschine]

The current Arbian image only has 1 partition. I don't see any signs of anything like EFI  or uboot.

There is a spi flash hosting uboot. I have not set that up - that must be factory default.

Code:

root@star64:~# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd?/name
spl
uboot
data

In the image, the contents of boot...starfive are:

Code:

evb-overlay

jh7110-evb.dtb
jh7110-evb-dvp-rgb2hdmi.dtb

I now realize that armbian does not come with a device tree for the star64 at all. You could hijack another device tree of a similar board (or use the one hosted on my webserver). Armbian is now my main OS for the time being. Yesterday, I posted elaborate installation instructions https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=18276

Usually if the X server was compiled without shared memory enabled, it will be slow.

Ugh, how Xorg is compiled on armbian is beyond me. A desktop is currently low on my priority list. My current focus is just building more recent kernels in the hope that all my small issues will eventually go away.
