New Builds from ayufan (0.8.X) w Video/3D/Mate desktop

[gregb49]

I used bionic-lxde-rock64-0.7.9.0rc10-1067-arm64.img.xz on an eMMC and it installed very quickly with, apparently, no problems. Seems quick. The problem I have is that I can not access any external drives, powered, non powered and flash drives. sudo fdisk -l shows them clearly but I cannot seem to mount them as they are not in fstab. I've messed up fstab before so would prefer not to have to edit it.

On my previous img they appeared automatically on the desktop, but video performance was poor hence this update to ayufan's image.

Is there a simple way to make them appear at start up? I've tried accessing them through the USB3 and 2 ports and through a powered hub, but it seems to make no difference.

Edit: I hadn't noticed that I had not downloaded the latest image. Now I'm using bionic-lxde-rock64-0.8.0rc10-1125-arm64.img Problem of automount is solved in this image, but now I cannot get any browser to work. Tried apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade but still no joy. Tried reburning the image but still no joy. Maybe I've downloaded a corrupted image.

One step forward - one step back!

Edit: May 7th Tried bionic-mate-0.8 on eMMC but it fails to get passed 

Code:

[ systemd-journald[292] : Failed to send WATCHDOG=1notification message: Transport endpoint is not connected

See screenshot.  
 Tried changing power supply and keyboard to a wireless keyboard in case anything was upsetting the power supply. No go. 
Tried bionic-lxde-rock64-0.8.0rc10-1125-arm64.img on an SD Card - boots smoothly but neither web browser will work - firefox doesn't load, and Chromium just logs me out. Smplayer causes a reboot. Symptoms the same after update/upgrade. I'll try and work out what img I was using before and go back to that, as everything did work, but there was no graphic acceleration.
