Hi all

 

at present state ,

i installed slim or gdm , but they are not good to start GUI automatically .

 

so

i start GUI by startx .

 

what display manager is good for ondroid-c2 ?

 

cat .xinitrc
startxfce4

regards

i write the install steps at  http://odroid-akita.blogspot.jp/2016/04/odoroid-c2.html  (japanese input is OK)

 

In theory any is good but arm64 lack of some packages so you might run into problems. Use our desktop build and be prepared. C2 is not yet fully stable and arm64 was introduced not long ago.

i tried to install arch linux on odoroid-c2 .

 

alike armbian , slim can not boot GUI .

C2 still has some fundamental bugs. Workaround:

I've found a solution to autostart the lightdm-greeter for user login.  Following the steps below:

 

My solution was to run:

rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target systemctl set-default graphical.target

This will replace the default target file, which in my case must have prevented systemd from reaching the graphical target, with a symlink to the graphical target. After this, lightdm (and gdm when selected with dpkg-reconfigure) starts automatically.

/etc/X11/default-display-manager was already set to the correct value so this appears to be a different root cause from OP's.

 

You will have to install the following:

 

# apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm
