Received 2 rock64 - and tinkering with the OS (Xenial-Mate) for a few days - looks good.
One topic I can't crack is: where does the IP address go when I use the GUI Network-Manager? (rightclick the taskbar icon top-right and edit connections)
I enter (IP4 tab) a fixed IP, netmask, gateway and add 2 nameserver IPs.
When checking (after reboot) I can see (connection information) that all IPs I entered are correct.
Then I go /etc/resolv.conf and see the info there that this file will be overwritten.
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 - shows eth0 as dhcp
Where is the static IP going when I enter it on the IP4 tab?
I'm not a master linux nerd. I do know a great deal of linux - this one, though, is a bit too difficult to solve
I do most work via putty, but was not able to setup the fixed IP there.
Also - why do I see the rock64 as an internal LAN IP on my router? The fixed IP, which I setup above, is an external IP.
