I had not booted LXDE in a very long time, but I just did and it seems like its still working on both RGB and HDMI with latest updates.Caldor wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:11 pm There is the LXDE you can run and have Linux on the MiSTer, which I always liked. Makes it easier to do filehandling stuff on the MiSTer itself and maybe run some thing directly on the ARM.
But is it just me or has this stopped working? Anyone know how to get LXDE running?
Hmmm, I was wondering where to put the Linux folder and I put it in the games folder. Isnt the other Linux folder the one that is used by the MiSTer in general? So it replaces those files? Or maybe I had just copied these files already?bbond007 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:25 pmI had not booted LXDE in a very long time, but I just did and it seems like its still working on both RGB and HDMI with latest updates.Caldor wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:11 pm There is the LXDE you can run and have Linux on the MiSTer, which I always liked.

I'd try and replace "lxde_zImage_dtb" & "lxde_linux.img" in the "/media/fat/linux" directory. Maybe one or the other is corrupt.
The ones used by the MiSTer are zImage_dtb and linux.img so that is not in conflict as the LXDE kernel and disk image are prefixed with "lxde_"
Code: Select all
bootimage=/linux/lxde_zImage_dtb
mmcboot=setenv bootargs altvipfb.video_mode=1 console=ttyS0,115200 $v loop.max_part=8 root=$mmcroot loop=linux/lxde_linux.img rw rootwait;bootz $loadaddr - $fdt_addr
