Desktop Experience in Orange Pi One


Bongho Lee

Recommended Posts

At first, I used 3.x kernel with Armbian_5.30_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img.

This has a problem displaying my hdmi 5inch 800x600 lcd.

 

So I changed the kernel to 4.x with nightly build image, Armbian_5.32.170706_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.8.img.

It displays well from u-boot.

 

For x window, I installed Xorg and ubuntu-desktop.

 

When I run startx, it says unable to connect to X server: Connection refused.

 

What should I do for x window?

 

I want to use Chromium.

Our kernel supports many screen resolution but not this one. You need to do the math and add it. Check this patch and do some forum search for more info. You are not the first one with such problem.

This kernel is not yet supported. It works or not. Try building dev image with desktop - this might be the best way.

Dev image with desktop works well with my 800x480 hdmi lcd on Orange Pi One.

 

I just need using Chromium, so I don't want to install all the heavy desktop package.

 

So I chose dev image without desktop option, and installed xorg and chromium-browser.

But it says errors.

 

Fatal server error:

(EE) no screens found(EE)

 

Do I have to install other things?

You want to run Chromium in kiosk mode? Just Chromium and nothing else?

 

I never done it but there are projects out there which deal with this. Make sure to implement our Chromium optimizations if you want to achieve some decent browsing experience.
