Now to see if the pi can be fixed, but the second of those two commands does not exist in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the pi, even there but commented out.But I have not made it work on the pi, with or without the X11UseLocalhost no (the default it says) line, i get a login requestor, enter my pw, and get the login blurb, but then no shell. I have not rebooted the pi, I guess thats next... Didn't help, I can login from here, or from the new armbian install on the rock64, but I get no shell after the signed in blurb.
Let's try to make some sense of this. You've got /what/ /exactly/ running on the RPi: Raspbian Jessie?
Can you log in using an attached screen/keyboard? As both GUI and text (i.e. in the latter case using <Ctrl><Alt><F1> to get a text login prompt)? Can you either login as root or do a sudo su or whatever? Does ifconfig tell you that the expected interface exists and has the expected address?

Now provided that the above is OK, let's look at SSH which is what I /think/ you're asking about. Presumably you can ping the RPi and get a response back (i.e. your route is OK), what /exactly/ happens when you try to SSH to it? Does ssh -v throw any light on it? Can you try from a PC rather than your Rock64?
Logging into Raspbian Jessie is something I do on a very regular basis. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]
