Describe in detail Your steps. Just for reference. Open a terminal in a graphical environment and give the command “sudo su”, enter the user password (pay attention , you need NOT to enter the root password, enter user password). The system will switch to the root user.
Another variant of transition to the root user. To run the command “su -” (su “space”, “minus”). And enter the root password (pay attention, this command uses the password for the user “root”).
I see that many of the themes frequently mentioned option of images with LXDE along with my name. I want to draw the attention of all - I never published any of the images for Amlogic (armv8 aarch64 S905\S905X\S912), with a graphical user interface LXDE. All the images that I produced are based either on the graphical environment XFCE, or in a graphical environment MATE or the command line options (without graphical environment). I think this is important, XFCE is significantly different from LXDE. This is a different GUI and they are configured differently. So anyone who uses my images, I recommend to look for information on the Internet about setting up the graphical environment XFCE.
I had previously collected to test multiple images with different graphical shells (XFCE IceWM LXDE LXQT MATE etc). But these images were not in the public domain. By the way, the last images armbian make it easy to install any GUI. For example, I have on one of the TV box is running the latest image Armbian (20170121 catalog Test) which, together with XFCE installed MATE (via synaptic) and automatically (at system startup) start the shell MATE. Enough after installing MATE to add to the user directory file .xinitrc indicating what shell I want to run (in the file, add one line “exec mate-session”)
One question for you guys, and not trying to put any preassure on the developers, but is there any sort of ETA for the availibility of working WiFi and BT drivers for the Khadas Linux builds?
And what is the blocking factor for not having them now? Do the drivers need to be backported to the kernel being used?
Thanks
Those are great news.
Although I’ve never been able to up the wlan0 interface even on Balbels50 SD distribution. Is there a particular release where it does work? And is there anything in particular to configure in order to be able to use it?
Thanks
I went back to Android because of this, so i can’t check it again, and i don’t want to write eMMc until i’m sure everything will work.
When i tried to connect as root in terminal, i would get error about incorrect password, this was unix password that i have chosen.
When i pressed ctrl+alt+f2 to go to login screen, and immediately logging in as root user, password was accepted, everything was ok, but when i return to terminal, password was not correct.
I tried to change unix password, for myname@khadas and root@khadas, everything would be saved, but in terminal still nothing.
I am not a Linux expert, so sorry if this isn’t very understandable, i did explain to you the best i could.
I did try many passwords, default, nothing worked.
The only thing i managed to install pressing ctrl+alt+f2, logging as root, was Ubuntu software center.
