xubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 182, Issue 3

[Joel Carlson]

Hi: I installed
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases/download/0.10.12/focal-xfce4-pinebookpro-0.10.12-1184-arm64.img.xz
on an sd card. It looks good but I can't login to rock64 or other. I had a
similar problem with the Mate version but kept trying things and got lucky.
A login explanation would be appreciated. I also tried the Manjaro xfce
version but found it unsatisfactory. Joel
