Yeah, a very few systemd services fail (smartmontools failed as well. I deinstalled it as I don't see a need on a micro sd card based system)
Code:schaecsn@star64:~$ systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB
armbian-zram-config.service loaded failed failed Armbian ZRAM
chrony.service loaded failed failed chrony, an NTP client/
systemd-binfmt.service loaded failed failed Set Up Additional Binary Formats
After not booting the star64 for some hours, the time was off. I gain the impression there is no RTC and having an NTP client is a must. One should look into the chrony service failure. [Update a few hours later: Kernel config SECCOMP is needed by chrony: I updated the installation instructions][Update a few hours later: armbian-zram-config probably requires kernel option CONFIG_ZRAM - I'm not interested in zram and will simply disable this service].
I noticed one ethernet port is very flanky (the one directly on the board) and the other one works (the one on top of the other). I can't imagine that this is an armbian issue. Did you notice that on Fishwaldo's image as well?
Did you also notice that Xorg is very slow? I just started it once ... and decided to log in via ssh, only.
Xorg is extraordinarily slow, considering how fast Wayland was. As I understand it, X is usually sped up by establishing a shared memory area so that clients can talk to the server quickly and pass a lot of data. Back in the day, the connection to the X server was a stream of bytes. My guess is that the shared memory area wasn't enabled or a library was missing when Xorg was compiled.
Both of my Ethernet ports seem to be working fine. I was able to download many gigabytes on each of them. I did notice however that when I pull the cable out and put it in the other port, there's a one minute wait for the network to start working again.
Another issue I'm seeing is an error on the console where a kworker is blocked for too long.
The JH7110 SoC spec sheet shows that it has an RTC, but looking at the board I don't see a battery for it.
By the way 8GB is working for me now, your fix worked.
I've been updating my system with every package I could think of. The fact that X is too slow to use is the first big problem to tackle. Maybe I'll recompile the Xorg server.
