jiapei100 Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 @Igor Successfully installed by following your command. However, after a reboot, it still enters TEXT mode by default. What's more, startx brings me the following ERROR message: Failed to load module "fbdev" Quote Failed to load module "fbdev" ... Fatal server error: [ 7264.186] (EE) no screens found(EE) [ 7264.186] (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org Any further suggestions?

Igor Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 apt purge nodm lightdm apt install nodm Check /etc/default/nodm if it's enable and if a user is your normal user, not root ... in case you don't have a normal user, create one before starting.

jiapei100 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Still the same.... Fail to startx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 1 hour ago, jiapei100 said: Fail to startx... I didn't say startx will work. X is started by display manager ... do: service nodm status and observe what kind of errors do you see. Did you made "bananapipro" user on your own or with our welcome 1st run script?

jiapei100 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 I created the user bananapipro at the 1st run script. And, service nodm status gives me Quote Failed to start Display manager for automatic session logins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 You must have break something ... I made the actual test with exact those steps: 1. Downloaded this https://dl.armbian.com/bananapipro/Ubuntu_bionic_next.7z, created a user at first login script, 2. armbian-config -> system -> install desktop with a browser ... 10 minutes later I have a running desktop, reboot, the desktop comes up automatically 3. Those are logs: http://ix.io/1mgE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag123 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 among the things to try, reboot, sometimes, once in a while .. it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
