Ubuntu and Debian images run quite good, but there is something very strange about them.
Any program which have to access the network (Internet or LAN) must be run as root, to regular user access to network is denied.
If you install the desktop and want to run Firefox e.g. , you have to do it with gksudo firefox, or it won't be able to access the Internet.
I'm working with Linux for decades, and I never had such a problem. I've built similar images for many different arm boards, and all of them worked without problem.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve that problem?
Solved!, thanks jukkas

I just downloaded your image and wrote it to an sd card.  It boots ok.  But for me, networking doesn't work at all.  (I have an orange pi plus.)

If I do sudu apt-get update I get:
unable to resolve ubuntuMate.
many errors follow.

It tried to get the wireless to work and that does not seem to work either.

Wait for loboris to build it with OIP plus fex... then the network will work...

@Loboris
I tested the 1st img and is good... will flash the latest img to test the AP mode later after work...

I also tried the debina image.  It boots up fine but no networking.  I'll try it when laboris has a plus version ready.

Firstly, thank you loboris for the Debian image. It made the board actually usable.
About the non-user networking: Apparenly the OrangePi Linux kernel is an Android version, and Android seems to have some restrictions for non-root networking.
I got the normal user (e.g. orangepi) working by creating a group id 3003/aid_inet and adding user(s) to that group. E.g.

# groupadd -g 3003 aid_inet
# usermod -G aid_inet orangepi

Hope this works for you too.

Thank you very much!
There was CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK=y set in Linux config. I've disabled it and recompiled the kernel and now everything is working as it should.
I don't know how I forgot it. And I've had similar problem with RK3188 kernel.
