@loverpi a short jump back to the display and resolution discussion here: do we have to wait for FinalRelease of Ubuntu 18.04 with wayland support (end of april 2018) or are the devs working also on alpha/beta releases?
I cannot get this image to work, no display out and cannot connect to it via ssh. Has a flashing blue light and solid green and red, which I read was normal for some reason. Also tried the armbian image, at least displayed a flashing cursor but got no further. The android one was the only one that is "working", using that term loosely. Have to say the state of the software is nowhere near up to scratch, this should definitely be more visible on the store page
Hi all, I try to boot my Le Potato into any of the OS's offered here: https://www.armbian.com/lepotato/, but I always end up with the blue LED flashing twice in short intervals. LibreELEC from kszaq or adamg work, also the Android preview. Tried different SD cards (16 GB). Any hint? Thanks, Caerandir
EDIT: Only now found out that there are problems with some Display resolutions and/or DVI/HDMI adapters - Attacht my TV via HDMI: Works. Blue blinking is actually OK as I learned.
I could not get an old 2012 ASUS VS247 monitor to work over HDMI. It does have DVI and VGA ports, but I don't have an adapter to try my luck. A newer ASUS bought last year works fine. Was able to get 2.4GHz wifi with a Panda N600 USB adapter working. Not 5GHz, but the adapter is serious overkill anyways, I don't expect to use it on a regular basis. Finally, my experience was that "SSH is enabled and there’s a default password" is not a bug. It's a feature! The board is very useful as a headless unit anyways, and what's the likelihood of someone plugging it in, connecting to a network, and then leaving it as-is? It's like old linux mainframe level security for a little developer board, IMHO

@loverpi I still have the USB issue from above even using the new release 4.14. Any news on this?
In 4.14.11 what means
a) boot device detection and
b) selection eMMC support?
@wappi How much power are the devices consuming? The USB ports are fused at 1A total to prevent issues.
@loverpi Really not much. It is just a keyboard or usb stick.
Hi @wappi
I have the same USB issue. Did you try with the latest XUbuntu released a couple of days ago?
See my post: http://forum.loverpi.com/discussion/33/xubuntu-16-04-mainline-linux-4-14-11-preview-image-7#latest

Nobody here to explain why there is still no usable software support? And why are critical comments on the libre website being deleted?

Hi Caerandir, What resolution is your TV? We are adding numerous additional resolutions to the next image so that information would be helpful.
