Richard Fortuna Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I understand I'm working with an experimental build...just breaking stuff to learn... Is Xwindows a complete no-go on the current Xenial build? What have you done to get X to load? I installed using the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade {at this point I had to do some finagling to get wlan0 to work again...thanks again @martinayotte!} sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-core sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg sudo aptitude install xorg openbox sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop After the install, I ran "startx" and it bombed. xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Attaching Xorg.0.log for reference. I'm still unfamiliar with the eccentricities of X, so please forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance! Xorg.0.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 There is no way to run Unity desktop on those boards due to video driver limitations while you should be able to run mate, xfce, lxde or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Fortuna Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 No dice. Tried a fresh flash of the OS and xfce. Same thing. Very frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Fortuna Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 DUDE! Bad@$$! Thanks! I'll try it out tonight! I'm still curious why the other one didn't work, though. I would like to improve my knowledge on these things. Was there something I could have done to fix it, or was the issue so integral to the build that I would have literally had to rebuild it from the ground up like you did?

Firefox arm64 is known to crash, so we used to add arm32 version which works, but the fastest is supplied Chromium. Midori is also good choice since its light.

I managed to succesfully build it with the kernel module, but i can't get the desktop to run. I'm using the BUILD_DESKTOP=yes flag. I also tried to manually download the xfce4, but it crashes with "no screens found". What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a long discussion in other thread this board (H5 variant) was configured as CLI only so you can't build a desktop image for it. You can either build a server image and install all necessary packages manually or you can manually install a new kernel on top of the older desktop build.

Martin Kubásek Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Do I need any other packages than xfce and icon packs? I toggled compiling the ARM Mali display driver in build but it still can't find the output display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big list of desktop packages (though not all of them are required), some additional configuration files (themes, desktop icons, window manager preferences) and some tweaks to installed packages. You can check build script files lib/configuration.sh and lib/desktop.sh for details. 14 minutes ago, Martin Kubásek said: I toggled compiling the ARM Mali display driver in build but it still can't find the output display. There is no such option in the build script and there is no Mali support for H5 in Armbian. Though Mali is not required to get a working display output.
