V6 on Pine64 512

[araz]

Hi all!
I've been running dietpi on Pine64 for almost a year now. Today, I tried upgrading to 160. However, my device won't boot. I tried:
- Different boards (I have two)
- 3 different SSD cards
- Different power sources

I can confirm that my boards are working with 159 and other images. With the new image, I get no video output.

Thanks!

I can confirm that V6.1 works on the Pine64 + 1G board.

I am however having trouble getting any of the desktop environments to work at the moment. But v6.1 does work

Thank you! I will try with the 1G board and report back.

Thank you! I will try with the 1G board and report back.

Not sure if you've had a chance to get it working but Fourdee figured out my desktop issues. It was a bug of some kind.

Refer to the GitHub link on how to fix it.

Works great now and super fast.

Oh sweet! No, I have not tested with 1G board yet. I will report back when I do...

I tried on other 512 and 1G boards but no luck Used multiple SD cards just in case. No HDMI output or ethernet action. Could you please confirm that you are using the original Pine64 1G version?

i use the 4gb version and can also not boot with the current image

I think I know what's happening. The device actually boots. The problem is that there is no video output. Tried with different devices and monitors. I can SSH to the device once it's up and running.

Hi anyone, I have the 512mb version of this board, Has anyone managed to get this to boot? I know there is no video output but it still doesn't seem to show up on my network. Do you know how long the initial boot takes?
Thanks
