Title: Unable to enter X-window mode.
Post by: chinatefl on December 23, 2020, 06:03:26 AM

Unable to enter X-window mode. I installed xorg and typed startx into the image interface. The interface disappears quickly when the background image comes out. There is nothing on the screen. No mouse. The whole interface has a black background. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.What shall I do?

Are you saying there was a GUI already running when you did this? If so, then:
1. Click on the  Exit  icon,
2. Select  Exit to Prompt.
3. Click  OK.
4. Enter  startx

Which Pi release are you using ?

If the TC.tcz meta-extension is available, then load it.

It should saves you a lot of trouble.

Alternatively, load aterm, wbar, Xorg and {any window manager}
