Thanks i managed to resolve the hdd problem. (Google )

It was not ext4 its ntfs changing it in fstab resolved my problem.

now the next problem the autoboot option automatically goes to dietpi-cloudshell instead of lxde.

Hi Namaste ,

If you are planning to use this drive only on the XU4, i would recommend formatting the drive to EXT4 with 1 partition. You can do this during 1st run setup by selecting “yes” to “dedicated USB drive setup”.

now the next problem the autoboot option automatically goes to dietpi-cloudshell instead of lxde.

Kodi and LXDE: Desktop are not implemented yet on the Odroid XU4 image. You can run LXDE: Vnc server.

Regarding the autoboot options:
Make sure LXDE: VNC server is installed in DietPi-Software, then select that as the autoboot option. If this is still not being applied after a reboot, please could you send me a bugreport so I can check your settings:

dietpi-bugreport

I’ll only need the reference CODE:.

Thanks Fourdee,

HDD works perfectly. thanks

LXDE is also working now, one more question is it possible to have both hdmi have LXDE and small screen have cloudshell?

Can add some queries here are should be using another topic?

JAVA8 on dietpi possible?
to able to run custom application unicentosPOs (requires JAVA8) as autoboot ?
possible to run without lxde like kodi does?

Thanks in advance

As far as i know, its not possible. I believe its a hardware limitation:
Reboot the board with HDMI cable disconnected and you should see already information going to the 2.2” LCD.

JAVA8 on dietpi possible?

Yes:

apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

to able to run custom application unicentosPOs (requires JAVA8) as autoboot ?

From dietpi-config > autoboot. Select "Console: Automatic login. "
Then you can add the command to run the program in /root/.bashrc after /DietPi/dietpi/login

possible to run without lxde like kodi does?

No idea. Never used or heard of unicentosPOs.

Google Says:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

so installed additional python libz still no luck 404 where running java-installer

any other repo?

Fourdee · November 17, 2015, 1:49pm

The DietPi image for XU4 already has the Java repo enabled by default:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java-trusty.list

Did you apt-get update?

sgovind · November 18, 2015, 6:03pm

didnt use the apt-get got it installed using:

PI Java Installer
Login to you Pi via ssh and run:

you download link from step 1

#wget > http://www.java.net/download/JavaFXarm/jdk-8-ea-b36e-linux-arm-hflt-29_nov_2012.tar.gz
wget > http://download.java.net/jdk8u72/archive/b05/binaries/jdk-8u72-ea-bin-b05-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-26_oct_2015.tar.gz
tar zxf jdk-8u72-ea-bin-b05-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-26_oct_2015.tar.gz
#rm jdk-8-ea-b36e-linux-arm-hflt-29_nov_2012.tar.gz
rm jdk-8u72-ea-bin-b05-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-26_oct_2015.tar.gz
sudo mv ./jdk1.8.0/ /opt/
sudo chown root:root -R /opt/jdk1.8.0/
sudo ln -s /opt/jdk1.8.0/ /opt/jdk8

Edit sudo nano -w /etc/profile and add these lines to the end of file:

PATH="$PATH":/opt/jdk8/bin
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk8

Logout and re-login via SSH. Run java -version to see if java is working. You should see something like:

java version “1.8.0-ea”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b36e)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 25.0-b04, mixed mode)

working perfectly !
