I managed to get it going! I suspected it was working so unplugged the HDMI cable from my QHD monitor and plugged it into a FHD and wala instant picture. Then I plugged it back into my QHD monitor and it was still displaying. I then used the display control to set the resolution to 2560x1440 and it still worked. So the problem seems to be using QHD from boot. That doesn't work. Seems like a firmware setting that should be changed. I suspect it doesn't see a FHD single so assumes a 4K monitor instead.

Thanks I went into armbian-config but can't see any setting that would be relevant as GUI is already set to enabled! I tried disabling and re-enabling but no difference. Blank screen!

I'm using the Odroid N2/N2+ 23.5 Jammy minimal image. I then updated and upgraded successfully. I then attempted to install MATE via tasksel (which I installed) but that immediate fails with an apt package missing error. SO then I tried to install MATE manually by: $ sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment mate-desktop-environement-extras $ reboot There didn't seem to be any display manger installed so I stalled lighdm $ sudo apt install lightdm lighdm-gtk-greeter $ reboot Then I noticed that Xserver was not installed (really, that's no a MATE dependency!!!) $ sudo aqt install xserver-xorg $ reboot But the xserver was not starting and so I noticed xinit was not installed (really. why wouldn't this be a dependency of MATE or the xserver) $ sudo apt install xinit $ reboot Now it boots and starts everything and then switches to console tty07 but is just a black screen. I can see from console tty01 that all the correct (I assume) processes have started but nothing but a black screen. Xorg is running lightdm session is running lightdm-greeter-session is running lightdm-gtk-greeter is running But still no login screen (or mouse) is visible (just a blank screen) I can see the ~/.Xauthority file is blank so don't know what has happened. What else have I missed?
