I’ve been racking my brains out trying to get any of the desktop environments working on my Pine 64+ 1G board. From reading a bunch of treads and posts on the dietpi site it seems that others have had success getting a desktop up and running. I however have had no such luck.
Specs
Pine 64A+ 1Gb
16Gb micro SD Card
currently running dietpi 6.1
no wifi or bluetooth
USB keyboard & mouse
ssh working
I have tried installing LXDE, Mate & XFCE with no luck. The install seems to go fine, but then the pine seems to “hang” when its done. I’m not sure whats happening as the screen just goes blank and the only way to get it to “come back” is to cycle the power and manually re-boot it. Not the best option I know but I left it for about 2 hours and still nothing on the screen. I also tried to SSH in to the pine as well thinking maybe it was a monitor issue, but not I was not all to connect at all via ssh. Once the power was rebooted ssh & the monitor were /are both working fine.
I also did not want to mess with any of the autostart settings as I wanted to watch what was happening when the pine first batted up to make sure there were no blaring errors, that I could see. Once booted up and logged in I tried to start the desktop with
starx
and just for kicks thinking maybe it would help
sudo startx
I get the same result.
I’m not sure if this is the “log file you are looking for” but it’s where I thought was a good place to start.
Below is the contents of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
