Can you provide a little more information?

"I use startx" ... was your Raspberry Pi show the Desktop (big Raspberry in the middle of the screen) or just the console (text screen, mostly black, with one or four Raspberries in the top left hand corner)? What exact command did you use to startx?

"It appear a new login screen" ... When you say new, do you mean different to the screens you have seen before? Can you describe this new screen?

Did you by any chance change the password for the pi user?

Did you type "sudo startx" at any time? That will mess things up. startx must run without sudo.

When I launch it for first time, it enters in Graphical Desgin, without terminal, automatically. It was the desktop, the big raspberry in the middle. Then I use 'sudo startx'

When I say new, is because when I launch it for first time, this login screen doesn't appear, but it always return to de same screen. An example is: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4GJgKfSht7I/V ... screen.jpg, but with raspberry design.

No, I never changed the password.

Well, I ask for help in Telegram groups of Raspberry, and they said me to install raspbian using noobs. It could be the solution?

Typing "sudo startx" causes trouble.

Other people have had the same problem. How to fix it is here viewtopic.php?f=63&t=130879

Raspbian Jessie Current boots to GUI https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbi ... ie-is-here

It's not a bug, it's an implementation choice by the RPF. There's an option in sudo raspi-config to change the default behaviour.

Most bugs are, in the end analysis, "implementation choices".

Balderdash and poppycock. Bugs are caused by idiot programmers, so that the systems programmers have something to do for their day jobs.
