Pi 4: Raspbian booting to commandline, instantly logs me out
February 11, 2024, 22:20
I've been getting my brand new Raspberry Pi 4 set up, and I installed Raspbian on it. However, after rebooting, it now only boots to the commandline login instead of the desktop login...
and when I type in my username and password, it seems to log-in, but then instantly boots me back to the same commandline.
How can I go about troubleshooting this?
64 bit os desktop?
ah! uh, I think I might've just solved it?
I'm making sure
so, it's weird
I took out the SD card and plugged it into my PC to troubleshoot
and somehow, a lot of my installed packages got removed?
I imagine that one of those was something the desktop manager depends on
I'm glad that it's fixed now, but I'm a little worried that I don't know what caused it
uh, I'm not sure! I used the raspbian installer
interesting, Maybe just a randomly failed installation so I'm glad you've fixed it
anymore problems try reformatting the SD card with the imager, then try a different SD card and maybe even a usb
out of curiosiy, why did you ask about this?
just to make sure, I kinda wasn't sure if you've installed the desktop image properly
I see
ive kinda, moved on from Raspbian and I'm trying other OSes
but everything is giving me different issues
or, well, some of them turn out to just be retro-gaming exclusively
when I want to watch movies on this too
try this
with raspbian desktop
