Odroid n2+ installed with odroid n2 image
how can i get lxde and kodi running?
x server error no desktop is working
Hi,
pls can you share the log file that is specified on your error message
here is the log file, hope this helps?
Xorg.0.log (5.16 KB)
There is following error message
[ 20.444] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
hmm could you try following
apt install xorg-xserver-video-fbdev
And test again after a reboot?
We had a similar case but it was more on Raspberry Pi devices https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/4175
i looked at the link this was the link:
apt install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev
and yes it works now i have a desktop!
Thnk for your help
good it is working now. What is the version of DietPi you are running actually?
version V7.3.2
thnx again!
ok thx for sharing.
no when i start Kodi from the desktop the screen is squeezed to the right side and freezes?
kodi error log:
kodi_crashlog-20210705_120258.log (26.9 KB)
Please try to start it from console (outside of an desktop session) via kodi --standalone.
this is still lxde desktop. can you go back into command line?
this was the result on my tv screen when I run it from the command line
could you try running dietpi-autostart 1 and reboot your system afterwards
Can you also please verify that these packages are installed:
dpkg -l malig52-fbdev-opencl-odroid aml-libs-odroid kodi-aml-fbdev-odroid
Kodi should then start independently from any desktop or X server.
For the desktop, did try to start it as root user? Also can you show the following output:
lsmod
ls -al /dev/dri
But it actually makes sense as the GPU/driver packages for Kodi all use the framebuffer, so I guess it is expected the KMS/DRM is not available. I’ll add those packages for desktop/X server installs on Odroid N2 (and C4, which behaves the same way) accordingly.
I get the same screen squeezed then turns to black no output
all packages are installed
when i run
lsmod
ls -al /dev/dri
lsmod

are there other things i can try?
I’m deeply sorry for not replying here. We have a new mainline kernel based Odroid N2(+) image now, which has KMS/DRM support, so should work well with LXDE and Kodi now. Sadly old systems cannot be upgraded, since the new bootloader requires a different partitioning with a single ext4 partition only, no dedicated FAT boot partition. So the image needs to be newly flashed.
