My environment:
board: Nano PI M2A
sd card(s): 32G Sandisk and 8G Hama (same problem for both)
screen(s): X710 7’’ 1024x600 (connected to LCD terminal on M2A board) / LG 32 via HDMI (same problem for both)
build/image: latest (DEC 2017) image DietPi_NanoPiM2-armv7-(Jessie).
After proper boot (boot text appeared) regardless the time of waiting I can see on screen info about default login and info from NTPD and have no login prompt.
I followed DietPi-Survey Information and check if commands:
systemctl enable getty@tty[1-2].service
systemctl disable getty@tty[3-6].service
reboot
can help. Nope. It doesn’t help. Same problem no login prompt.
On tty2-tty6 login prompt exist and I was able to log into DietPi.
Probably due to this problem with tty1, also autologin (enabled by dietpi-config) changed nothing - can see the same screen with default login info and no prompt nor cli…
After installation (by dietpi-software) LXDE, MATE, Chrome etc and changing autostart accordingly - still the same screen with no login prompt.
I just installed DietPi on my NanoPC-T3 and have the same issue, no login prompt on tty1. SSH works fine to run DietPi-Config and update system. I even installed LXDE and Chromium then rebooted when finished and no luck. Then from SSH I ran startx and the LXDE desktop started on HDMI screen but with PID 700 error. Some functions did not work, so it seems this whole series of NanoPC* has some issues in the image.
I have the same problem as you guys.
I just freshly installed the NanoPi M2 image on my NanoPi 2 Fire (same CPU)
first I had no Login prompt after boot, so after I changed AutoLogin Settings to 2 didn’t work I searched on Google and Downloaded the Virtualbox image to test directly on my big machine.
On my Virtualbox everything worked (including autostart, after I used this patch Mate does not auto start · Issue #1109 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub) so back to my NanoPi, applied same Patch no difference.
So I searched again on Google and found this post. Not many Solutions here, but hey I thought OK if more User have this problem so I report a BUG from dietpi-launcher.
Now I had the Idea to search for the used tty’s and found lsdev which does not work
After some more research on Google I had the Idea it could be that NanoPi does not use tty1 as first display but tty0, so one ‘ls /dev/tty*’ later, there is a tty0, enabled it via systemctl enable getty@tty0.service and reboot.
now I saw a command prompt, now my mind goes WTF?!?
I typed startx and pushed enter and this fucking machine asks for a password ?!?
After a minute or 2 screen clears and it looks like I am logged in on console
attached is a screenshot
