mahaju Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 I am using orangepi zero LTS board I have seen this happen with both Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.10.60.img and Armbian_21.08.1_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.10.60.img images, although this problem seemingly solved itself randomly in the focal version. I am not sure what is up with that, I am currently testing on the buster version. I am using the serial console for controlling the board (ttyS0) I have already downloaded "Desktop with browser and softwares" from armbian-config -> System After this the menu item changes to armbian-config -> System -> Enable Desktop If I go to this menu item, it askes me if I want to autologin -> Yes, No After I choose Yes the board sort of hangs for a while and I get a sudden message saying killed and it it takes me out of the armbian-config menu and into the command prompt When I reboot the board after this, the SPI TFT LCD attached to the board does not go into GUI mode (the LCD itself is being correctly detected, have a look at my question related to that here: The Armbian boot up messages show (multiple times) that "starting lightdm service has failed". Going back to armbian-config -> System, the menu option is still "Enable Desktop" which I believe should be "disable desktop" in case GUI desktop was actually enabled What is happening here, and how do I make sure GUI desktop gets properly enabled? A solution for both focal and buster will be appreciated.

lanefu Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Sounds like it's running out of ram. Is it a 256meg zero? Even 512 is a stretch
lanefu Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 The answer for this is most likely you're going to be better of manually managing the packages and config of your desktop than armbian config
