No HDMI With Cinnamon

[criageek]

I'm trying to get Cinnamon to work with my Le Potato and have had no success.  I don't know what data is needed to troubleshoot this so please let me know what info you need.  Here are the details that I have.

 

Le Potato AML-S905X-CC-V1.0-A

 

I've tried two different methods to make this happen.

 

Method 1

I tried installing this image:  Armbian_24.8.1_Lepotato_bookworm_current_6.6.47_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img.xz

 

Method 2

I tried installing this image:  Armbian_24.8.1_Lepotato_noble_current_6.6.47_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz

 

and then tried installing Cinnamon with apt.

 

In both cases, when I got logged in to the Cinnamon desktop, HDMI output went away.

 

I can ssh into the machine and do whatever, but no video on the monitor.  Please let me know what you need if you think you can help!

 

Thanks,

Rich

Same here with Bananapi M5, Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.6, Debian 12 (Bookworm) CinnamonMESA / VPU: https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim5/Bookworm_current_cinnamon-backported-mesa

 

On installation screen goes dark after Locale setings, after reboot screen goes dark after login.

I assume standard 1080p monitor? Can you grep logs for errors? Will try to reproduce when I find time.

 

@TonyMac32 When was last time you hooked a monitor to Lepotate or similar device?
