The previous install committed harikari back in January after an update/upgrade by apt. So since the disk I had all my rock64 work on died shortly before that, I left it laying until I had found and bought a sata adapter so I could plug in an ssd of about 60 gigs to the usb3 port.
Still no boot, never got to the startx stage. So I brought its 64GB u-sd in and rewrote it with bionic-lxde-rock64-0.6.44-239-arm64.img, which I took it was a debian image, but etc issue says its a Ubuntu 18-4-LTS, which tells me some things have been changed just to make it more difficult to configure since I've not had to deal with a *buntu since 8-4, 10 years ago.
When I looked at (after putting my local static network data in the /etc/hosts file) the /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 file was set to use dhcp, and my router can pass out a maximum of 2 dhcp leases. But I don't think it was even trying dhcp or it would have been assigned a 192.168.xx.100 address..
Everything I try errors and tells me to read the man page so-and-so. But there's just one problem, this image doesn't include a man reader, so I've given up until someone can enlighten me.
/etc/resolv,conf is still that worthless link to /var/run/ResolveConfig and contains no useful data. I figure in 10 years there is a chance they've managed to fix NetworkManager so it actually works, even with a static network. Wrong or I've not found the magic twanger yet.
So whats the procedure to configure a static network with the above install?
Thanks folks.
