Xubuntu package: Just started/booted to a blank screen but the workaround is to replace the default Xubuntu greeter with the slick-greeter (see comments and -xubuntu-19-10-on-a-raspberry-pi-4/)
I tried Xubuntu to revive an old hp laptop and I fell in love with it. Now I'm planning to get a raspberry pi400 and I would really love to have Xubuntu on it. I thought it was possible since Ubuntu has an ARM version and then I discovered Xubuntu doesn't but some people tried to install it "over" the Ubuntu installation.
Please add overclocking support to the kernel.
My raspberry pi4 4gb overclocks flawlessly on newest raspbian os to 2 GHz, 600 GPU, overvoltage 5, but i cannot do any overclocking on your os. It then locks up at boot immediately. I do have the small attached heatsinks to SOC and ram and usb3, and fan blowing air over it, it is 100% stable.
My take: if it can run ubuntu-mate, getting xfce4 to install & run can't be all too hard. Some 5-6 years ago, i recall getting xubuntu (xfce4) 11.xx to run on an early-2000s Sony laptop that had only 256MB of ram and a Pentium-M chip. It was quite servicable iirc, so the PI's specs s/b plenty to get xubuntu 18.10 up and running (imho).
Got myself a raspberry pi model b+ for christmas. A gift from me to me Posting this from Xfce running on raspbian (based on debian stretch). Wasn't difficult to install the xfce4 packages and get it working. Quite a powerful little device.
After playing around with my xubuntu system (thanks ETA PRIME for an excellent video pointing me in the right direction !) I decided to tackle the problem that I had no sound coming from my HDMI-monitor speakers or the headphone jack attached to that monitor.
The monitor is a simple ACER KG221Q, that should be able to produce 2CH sound (simple stereo)
It turned out to be a problem that I could more or less solve myself afterall, no bugs in the system make sound impossible
Just for the record, I tried to change the memory size to 2gb and it did not help. There are other open raspberry pi 4 bugs that are dependent on having more that 3gb or ram and so i decided to test that possibility (see +source/linux-raspi2/+bug/1848703) especially since the other person who sees this bug also has a 4gb system. However it does not seem to help.
Still appears to be here, although it works on arm64?
Basically I tested Ubuntu Server 20.04 for the RPi 400, on arm64 (64-bit) typing in "sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop" has a distro that works perfectly fine.
However on Ubuntu Server 20.04 for armhf (32-bit), doing the same "sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop" I get the same black screen thing you guys are talking about.
Makes sense as xubuntu uses lightdm by default.
I used to be able to change the colour set for midnight commander, by changing the "colour string" in the ini file. It seems now that in xubuntu (Xfce4) mc's colour set is determined by some other means. How do I revert to the previous scheme, with the option of using my own colour strings?
@Dentonthebear I suspected something to do with xubuntu for no other reason than the notification icon in the dock was being erratic, also I vaguely remember a few other programmes wouldn't work if they can't access a notification panel. I posted the apt history because I guessed an update elsewhere had borked enpass but I've got no idea if enpass relies on one of those modules or packages.
I fear I'm being ignorant - and this is more for my future interest - [1] when you had a lib file missing I assume that was an xubuntu/ shared libfile or was it a part of enpass? or something else? [2] do you think " apt-get --fix-missing ... " would have helped (is that what you did?) ... or did you manually install a specific dll from an error message? or something else
