Dear All,
I have problem to get full Ubuntu GUI desktop on Beaglebone with DVI cape. The details:
-
Myself: Newbie
-
BeagleBone: Rev A4
-
DVI-D Cape: Rev A
-
OS System: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric
I followed this link http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu to create the SD Image. I typed:
`
uname -a
`
and got this:
`
Linux omap 3.2.0-psp3 #1 Tue Feb 28 06:08:20 UTC 2012 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
`
-
I connect to the monitor with HDMI to DVI cable. Please see the pictures.
I can see the console, and type (with a keyboard connected). -
Then I followed this command, trying to get full GUI desktop:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdm xubuntu-desktop
-
I reboot, hoping that it will bring me to the GUI login
But it goes to console again. -
Then I tried to type:
`
startxfce4
`
I got errors:
`
ubuntu@omap:~$ sudo startxfce4

Please, help! Any update I need? Or any commands? It said something like “fail to load module fbdev”, does it mean anything to you guys?
Why does it complain “no screen found”, but these texts are actually displayed on the screen connected.
My project needs to display images, so working on console is not enough. Please help! Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
David
