DietPI not booting to desktop

[LolCatVII]

Hi everyone,

I hope it's ok for me to post this here (DietPi is based on Raspbian).

When installing I selected the option to boot directly to the desktop. However, when it boots it just goes to this screen:



But I can't type anything in the command line. If I use ctrl+alt+f1 it does go to the Xorg server screen, however that doesn't seem to respond to commands either?

Anyone know what's going on? I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to Pis and Linux.

NVM, I grabbed a larger SD card and installed Raspbian, problem solved.

(I think maybe the 1GB one I was using was too small to load the GUI of DietPI? )

Currently running BOINC 24/7, slow and steady wins the race.

Hi LolCatVII,

Whilst DietPi is based on Rasbian, the DietPi project is not currently endorsed or supported by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Please post all DietPi related posts to :http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 6&start=50

Regarding the issue of not booting. You were spot on. DietPi with desktop (LXDE) and the default 100mb swapfile uses 1.2gb of space. I will have this resolved in a future build and i'am grateful for your feedback.
