piekejullupe Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hello, i am a "newbee" , just got yesterday my orange pi and did not get it working..... after hours i managed but it is strange ( i think ) the orange does NOT start with NO monitor cable attached..... it does does NOT start with a hdmi-dvi converter.... ( that i found on the web ). The ONLY way i get it started is : 1 - HDMI cable attached to a HDMI monitor AND 2 - Power button pushed AND 3 - then as last one plugin the power cable.... is that normal ?. i doubt it , that is why i ask... also then I have armbian working, super, no problem. but when hitting the restart button in Armbian the orange Pi plus 2e shuts down and...... thats it...... only starts again by repeating steps 1 to 3.......

Igor Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 If you want to have picture on the screen, monitor must be attached at the boot time since it performs auto detection. There are problems with some HDMI2DVI adaptors, but we have a solution for this (kernel 3.4.113). It's called h3disp (run as root and read what pops out).

piekejullupe Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 @piekejullupe What kind of power supply are you using? I am using the power supply that I got with the orange pi. In the meantime i noticed that when using the orangepizero Ubuntu_xenial_dev_nightly.7z it starts without any problem. It does NOT with the orangepiplus2e/ Ubuntu_xenial_default_desktop.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
