Hi everyone,
I am using an orange pi one to run a table top CNC machine I built and using it to run bCNC to send the g-code to an Arduino. I had downloaded and flashed an image of the Debian Jessie Desktop V5.20 a while ago and it has been working great for other things along the way as well as this project. I had some issues with the bCNC program and decided to uninstall the OS and restart from new. When I did, everything seems normal until I get to the login screen in the terminal area where I have to create a new user account and password and enter my information, then it asks if I want to change the display settings from what I already have which I don't because they are correct. Then, nothing. it jumps down to the next line and is just displaying the command line " xxxx@orangepione~$: . It used to just simply boot the GUI and I would be in the desktop environment after that. I don't understand what is happening, if it's a problem with the install, a problem with writing the desktop image to the SD card, something silly I am doing or not doing.... I have tried 3 different boards including a fresh one out of the package just to see if it was a RAM problem or something. I have tried a different image Debian Jessie 5.25 new SD cards, few power supplies, new HDMI cables, different monitor, different keyboard and mouse. I am at a loss and am asking for some assistance. I am very new to linux so if it's my own ignorance or stupidity that has led me down the path to frustration then I would appreciate a push in the right direction. If there's something I should try next please let me know. I have also tried the "start X" command which doesn't seem to work also the "chvt N" which does not help me either. i dont get why it was working before but doesn't work now, especially on 3 different boards...
Thank you in advance for any support you can lend my way.
