Hello,
I've just flash my SLC760 zaurus with e-image of openzaurus gpe.
I was presented with a login prompt
I typed: root
I was then presented with root@c7x0: prompt
How do I start X ?
In pdaXrom you just type startx, I have no idea what to do next.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards Dat.

With OZ/GPE, you'd normaly get the X server started and the login manager also... if it's not the case, /etc/init.d/gpe-dm start may help...
But... e-image may be an image for enlightenment, and in this case, I don't know.
Anyway, /etc/init.d/ scripts may help probably also.

I decided to have a look at the latest OZ, for comparisons sake.
I have the above problem too ... when I flash the e image (3.5.4.1) on the 760, it reboots, does its initial setup stuff and launches e. Great!
If I reboot, though, it seems to start ok, but bombs at the command prompt with "can't open display (null)."
Anyone?
Thanks,
Mike.

Looks like a bug.
I keep getting thrown back to the login prompt (even after logging-in). I'll see what I can do to track it down over the weekend.

I think I'm having the same problem under OZ GPE 3.5.4.1-RC4 on a c860. I've removed the gpe-dm startup scripts (K20gpe-dm and S99gpe-dm) from /etc/rc6.d. After reboot I then try to start gpe with /etc/init.d/gpe-dm start. This gets me to the gpe login screen. However when I login it shows the desktop briefly then returns to the gpe login screen. To me it looks like another instance of the login is being loaded over the desktop, this is because I once clicked on a program fast enough for it to load, and it appeared over the top of the login screen. The matchbox-desktop process is also running.
Does this sound like the same problem you are having?

ok ok ... at least I know I'm not the only one having this problem with the latest gpe build. I tested on Akita and had this problem a few days back. So ya, since its not an isolated case, its most likely something with this build.
Coredump seem to say on another thread that its to do with the user part being messed up by other installations but someone else still have problems even after a nand restore followed by a 3.5.4.1 flash.
Let's hope that it gets resolved.
btw, 3.5.4 is not based on 2.6 kern right?

No, not the same. Try using ssh to see whether your theory is correct. I have a feeling that something is simply killing the Xserver and it's being re-started with the login screen (I'm guessing that if a process is starting up as the server re-starts it may end up where you say).
This used to happen in the old days, and it was caused by keylaunch(er?). Renaming that binary made it work fine. Might be worth a try.
