Hi,
I just want this simple thing:
when I put power on an odroid xu4 it shoot boot and directly login as user (not root) in LXDE desktop.
Why is this that hard?
I tried using option 2 in dietpi-config autostart but this doesn’t boot the desktop.
only booting to LightDM works, but that login is pretty unusable without preset login users. Having to type in the user is annoying.
I added another user with useradd and tried the autostart option with that user.
now I have a big problem, dietpie boots directly logged in as this user in console.
How can I logout and change the user now?
when i try “logout” it says “-sh : 1: logout: not found”
when I try sudo commands with this autostarted user it says “user not in sudoers group”
How am I able to get out the autostarted logged in console?
when I tried autostart with option 2 with “root” and “dietpi” the error message was a couple of lines long with stuff with things like “x server, display config missing”.
With light dm I was able to boot the desktop as it should.
However the main problem now since I set autostart to the new added user it boots directly in the console from which I can’t do anything.
because of that I can’t post the complete error message.
How can I get back to normal console boot and login as root or dietpi user?
is there a keyboard combo on boot for recovery mode or something that prevents autostart from booting the newly added user?
SSH helped with the new user problem.
Now I can see the error message when I try autostart with user “dietpi” its the same as in github.
but the workaround doesn’t work cause I’m on odroid xu4 not on rpi.
/boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_hardware rpi-opengl vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
“info Input name rpi-opengl is not suppotred bau Odroid xu3/xu4… nothing has been applied”
but when I use light dm and login as “dietpi” it works.
Note that LightDM does not run as the user you’re logging in with, hence the X server it initiated with sufficient permissions in a different way. The autostart option tries to start the X server with exactly that user you chose, which does not work reliably on all boards as non root.
Did you try to add the dietpi user to video and render group: sudo usermod -aG video,render dietpi
I aim to change the autostart options for X applications to use LightDM with a config that makes it start a defined X client with the chosen user. We checked several way to achieve it differently, but either they do not work with every GPU firmware/driver or they imply larger negative security impact: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3586#issuecomment-778864927
Just to assure, this was now as root user? The autostart option btw currently does nothing more than calling startx, so for testing with different users. As root user this should definitely work, as other user depending on the system video and/or render group membership are required, tty group membership at least when calling startx from e.g. an SSH session to start the X server on the main screen. Further installing apt install xserver-xorg-legacy might further help and on some cases this works only when configuring it to basically start the X server as root. In that last case, going with LightDM autologin is the better solution from security perspective.

Yes this is using Autostart “option 2” with user “root”
