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
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.
