Does this means it is the usb-3 port?
Thanks Alan. And networking has failed AGAIN. I'll go try a full powerdown for 30 seconds. The armbian stretch is so ticklish that if the network cable isn't plugged in when ts booted, it will never find it no matter how many times you hit the reset/restart button. Can you show me a WORKING /e/n/i.d/eth0 file for static network that actually works? From a hot reboot or /etc/init.d networking restart? I can't query for the failure because that man page for ip might as well be written in swahili. Not an example in a trainload of copies of that worthless pile of gibberish pretending to be English. Anyway, networking is networked. Its been a while since it was updated, so lets see if it will. Its been in a box for at least 3 weeks, but: sudo apt update: Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'http://apt.armbian.com stretch Release' does no longer have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. So armbian stretch (from http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates/main armhf Packages) is out of date and can no longer be updated: My thoughts aren't printable. When did that happen? I may as well upgrade to beta, something I've never done before to an existing system, so how is this done?
