Could you ping your visionfive2 and did you type the command?
echo ‘PermitRootLogin=yes’ >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
systemctl restart sshd

Yes, I can ping it. Yes I completed those commands. I also manually checked the ssd_config file and it indeed states PermitRootLogin=yes
I can log on locally/directly to the VisionFive 2 using my keyboard and monitor, that’s how I ran the commands that supposedly get SSH working over root (but not in my case). I haven’t tried logging in as user@192.168.188.22 but unless user is already in the sudoers file I will need to login locally again to add user to the sudoers file if I actually want to do anything useful.
The point of my post is removing SSH was dumb and aggravating, and it is. Literally made no sense to do that whatsoever.

user is in the sudoers in Debian Image 202302.
Good to know, thanks.
I still don’t understand why I can’t SSH in with root This was possible on the “Debian 69” image (or why SSH being installed and config’d by default was removed in the Debian “202302” image.
I will try SSHing in using user here in a bit
Need to get 224 MB of archives.
After this operation, 35.8 MB of additional disk space will be used.
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.
Any ideas?
I ran:
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt clean
Still get this error message. Is there a way to increase the space in /var/cache/apt/archives/?
I am using the eMMC but the way. I used GParted to expand/resize and now the install is borked. Not booting.
I will have to flash the eMMC again, install and configure SSH again, hold back
sudo apt-mark hold xserver-xorg-core
(So I don’t kill the display)
Some how resize the partition
and then do your steps:
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-ports-archive-keyring/debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb
apt-get install ./debian-ports-archive-keyring_2023.02.01_all.deb
sed -i "s/^deb/#deb/g" /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
This worked.

Follow the steps in the guide to expand the root filesystem to the full disk.
But this is a using a snapshot repo, there is nothing to upgrade… Unless you switch to the updates repo (discussed elsewhere many times), which will break X windows for relatively little gain.

Yeah I think it will work if I hold back
sudo apt-mark hold xserver-xorg-core
Gonna try anyway
Nope. Didn’t work. Won’t boot now. Will have to re-flash the eMMC. Gonna put this thing away for a few weeks/months and wait for an image that doesn’t suck.
I managed to update my vf2 to the latest 2.10.4 and debian 202302.
First I could not boot the starfive-jh7110-202302-SD-minimal-desktop.img. I had updated the spi with tftpboot, looked like it was the correct u-boot, ended up using the recovery method and after that the image booted.
Changed the sources.list and upgraded some 330 odd packages, still boots after that (not using lightdm). The kernel still lacks features so have to build that, ipv6 and bridge specifically to get docker up and running.
update:
Building the kernel with ubuntu:bionic ended up with broken ipv6.
ipv6: The unexpected relocation type 'R_RISCV_ALIGN' from PC = 000000008cdc741b
Changed the docker image to ubuntu:devel rebuilt kernel, now ipv6 works and docker seems happy. Not sure if this warning is relevant:
bridge: filtering via arp/ip/ip6tables is no longer available by default. Update your scripts to load br_netfilter if you need this.

I also updated the firmware and the image.
I enlarged the root partition (partition 4, last partition) with Gparted on my Linux laptop where I wrote the image to the micro SD card.
After that I mounted the root partition and added a text file to get the packages like Firefox and Libre Office. Instructions found here: VisionFive 2 Debian Wiki - 202302 Release | RVspace
wget https://github.com/starfive-tech/Debian/releases/download/v0.7.0-engineering-release/install_package_and_dependencies.sh
chmod +x install_package_and_dependencies.sh
sudo ./install_package_and_dependencies.sh
As I logged in as user, I added sudo to execute the script.

Hi!
I‘ve just received the recommended 10’ 4Lane MIPI LCD(800*1280) from Allnet China store.
Will it work with the new debian image out of the box?
Best regards
Fedor
Not yet, we are still working on MIPI DSI for Debian

Thank you for quick reply! Maybe you have some deadlines for this task? Or another image that support this display?

https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/releases/download/VF2_v2.10.4/sdcard.img
You can flash this image(based on buildroot) into SD card and power up. after that, input the following command to check the MIPI DSI monitor is working or not
modetest -M starfive -D 0 -a -s 118@35:800x1280 -P 74@35:800x1280+0+0@RG16 -Ftiles

It is part of the the buildroot packages:
https://github.com/starfive-tech/buildroot/blob/JH7100_VisionFive_devel/package/linux-tools
but it is not currently selected as a package to be built:
https://github.com/starfive-tech/buildroot/blob/JH7100_VisionFive_devel/package/Config.in
nor in any of the the Config.in used by the buildroot Makefile
https://github.com/starfive-tech/buildroot/blob/JH7100_VisionFive_devel/Config.in#L871-L885
That is about the extent of my knowledge about buildroot, I guess you could read the buildroot manual and/or the StarFive Software Development Kit.
I did notice this:
But it is already enabled:
Hi. After finding the note about 4K displays and setting the right resolution, I was finally able to get into my new debian image.
if you have a 4K monitor you need to alter the lightdm config file to use a suitable resolution 1920x1080 worked for me
