Dan Popa Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi everybody! I'm new on Linux and I have a problem. I burned the Armbian OS on an SD card for a OrangePi PC and I created an User name [dp] and a Password. When I login, instead to see the Desktop image, Armbian seems to wait for a command or something. The OS displays the following text: dp@orangepipc: ~$_ What should I type now to see the Desktop? Anyone want to help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases it's possible that your monitor is not properly detected at first boot - when using some HDMI2VGA converters ... and one reboot is needed to get a picture on the screen. In case of some SD card detects or if you press "CTRL-C" to break user creation, desktop boot won't be enabled ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
