Steps to reproduce
- Install Dietpi
- Install X11 (XFCE)
Expected behaviour
- Automatic boot via lightdm in to x11
Actual behaviour
- Console Login and no X11
Extra details
- I discovered that lightdm has an error “Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files” so i installed the package “accountsservice” and this error was gone but still no x11.
- Then i discovered that it is not possible to “startx”. There was an error (can’t remember exactly what) that it can not connect to dbus. So i installed the package “dbus-x11”.
- Now i can run “startx” and X11 is starting, but it does not start automatically
- I also discovered that if “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” is set in “config.txt” the 7” Display only shows white stripes and no picture (also no cli login screen)
- Unfortunately, I don’t know how to investigate this further.
- And somehow I seem to remember that we’ve had this problem before, but I can’t remember the solution.
