... where did you get your image, and how did you make the SD card?

I downloaded from https://www.pine64.com/downloads, concretely I used this one: Ubuntu Linux Image [20160501] based on Longsleep build, updated by Pine64

Regarding to the method of creation of the bootable disk, I cd'ed to the directory where the uncompressed image was and issued the following command:
[url=https://www.pine64.com/downloads][/url]

Code:
sudo dd if=xubuntu-xenial-20160501-longsleep-pine64-8GB.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M
I even searched in the terminal history for the very exact command, but as I'm able to boot and install an ssh server, I assumed the disk creation was just ok.

hm... indeed something fishy is going on.

Since it is booting, it sounds like the image was written fine, but something is not configured correctly..

Can you run uname -a so we can get the kernel version (I believe the current kernel version is 3.10.102 #7, so you should get something like the below output), and regardless of the result, you should probably update your uboot and kernel as there has been a fewupdates since the 1st of May, so that might also fix the issue...

Code:
Linux pine64 3.10.102-0-pine64-longsleep #7 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 17 21:30:48 CEST 2016 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Update like this (as root, not sudo!) on any of longsleeps images:

Code:
bash <(curl -s [url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsl...e_uboot.sh[/url])
bash <(curl -s [url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsl..._kernel.sh[/url])
