Lubuntu for Banana Pi

Illustration for Lubuntu for Banana Pi documentation

Summary

Lubuntu images can be a good fit when you want a lightweight desktop environment. On SBCs, stability depends on storage quality and careful updates—especially when graphics stacks change.

Requirements

  • Stable power and known-good storage
  • Ethernet recommended for first boot and updates

Concrete example (update and reboot)

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot

Troubleshooting

  • No desktop: try a different display/cable and confirm kernel logs are clean.
  • After update breaks graphics: keep a known-good image so you can revert quickly.
