Hello,
I am completely new to the Pi topic so I need explanations for newbies. I have an old thin client with dietPi installed. I have also set everything up so far and have also installed “LXDE” and then set the auto login to “LightDM”. After a restart it boots with all the green oks and then the screen stays black with a blinking underline. How do I get back to the launcher? I think it is the GPU driver.
Thanks for answers.
How long did you wait? We have had a few cases where the desktop took up to 2 minutes to start.
I waited 1h.
Can you hit Ctl+Alt+F2 (or F3 or F4 etc…) and get a login prompt? If you can, log in and type dmesg at the prompt and see what is failing. You may have to type dmesg | grep failed or dmesg | grep error or dmesg | less will let you page through the whole log.
or dmesg -l 0,1,2,3 to see kernel error messages only.
