Default user for Raspbian OS is pi and the default password should be raspberry. When you are in the command line, log in with default user password (if you did not change it). Here in this question, I don't want the graphical login, I want to start Xorg via the terminal as a user (via startx). I want that systemctl starts my graphical login. In the previous question, I want the standard behavior. If you faced the same situation and end up with just command line in Raspbian OS, no need to despair, it is very easy to set up Raspberry Pi to boot in GUI by default. luchonacho: But this is another (probably unrelated) question.
When I log into the Pi as pi, startx works. But since I did not pay attention in a hurry, I just tabbed finish on that screen. The XServer does not start - I type startx, and after a brief startup blather > and.

When you install Raspbian for the first time, it indeed present several option to configure for the first use. So how to you run Raspbian GUI then? Set up Raspbian GUI boot And thus when I booted in Raspberry Pi again, I landed in command line directly. Only thing which I missed at the first run was to set up the GUI. I did the same once again and installed Raspberry Pi once again.

I have previously written about how to install Raspbian OS on a SD card in Ubuntu. Since my Dell Ultrabook is in Dell service center (for weeks now), I started using Raspberry Pi once again as an alternative. I would recommend updating your kernel and modules to 3.6.It’s been some times since I bought Raspberry Pi but honestly, I hardly did anything with it.
If I change the boot mode to automatically go to the graphical interface and log in that way under my new user account, the desktop appears with no problems. However, if I log in as the default user (pi) and run startx I get a normal desktop. I have a feeling that this most recent build was built maybe in qemu and not on a raspberry pi. My problem is, when I run startx I get a flashing desktop with no menu and no icons. (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.soįrom what it looks like is that the 3.6.11-cutdown kernel in this 1.0.4 build may not have evdev support builtin. Thanks for your cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep modules You may also like to try to run startlxde-pi though I suspect startx may be trying to do that already. Scroll to the bottom of that file, delete everything after and including 'Twm'. cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc /.xinitrc cd / nano. Please try and post the contents of ( the mentioned) /var/log/Xorg.log.0 file. As the wiki says (if you read it at a reasonable time with a proper mindset) Do the following as the user you want to use startx on. Is there anything else i should look for? It is possible your Pi has been configured NOT to start the GUI by default or (more likely IMHO) somthing is going wrong. log in to your Raspberry Pi, but don't type startx to go into the desktop. It seems that edev is installed and that there are no errors with the modules. There are several reasons why it's a good idea to learn how to use the shell. If you want to run startx at boot automatically, take a look at the Starting X at boot guide. (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libshadow.so To use startx, you will need to define LXDE in your /.xinitrc file: exec startlxde. I saw a post about this but I dont know how the user got it to work in the end. (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so On Linux, the easiest way I found was to install the RealVNC client (in theory you can also use Remmina for VNC, but it didnt work for me). (In reply to comment 23) > So in short, everyone experiencing this, use a graphical login manager (such > as KDM) instead of startx and your. when booting up I can write the pi login details but after typing the.

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libextmod.so But once I logged out the GUI was off and I was returned to the shell each time, I couldn't fix this so logged. once that is done startx to start the GUI so you can use the window manager set up by update-alternatives -config x-window-manager.
