I have a BeagleBone Black, wich is connected to a TV via HDMI. When I boot up the BeagleBone Black using a minimal Ubuntu image, I can see Tux greeting me in all his three-color glory, yellow feet and all, before he is being pushed off the TV-screen by a plethora of bootup messages.
I proceded to install xfce via
sudo apt-get install xfce4
sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
I can start xfce with
startxfce4
and see a Dekstop, but unfortunately, the colors are off: The blue background looks yellow or brown. Yellow hues look blue. Green seems to be unaffected.
edit: It looks as though the "red" and "blue" channel are switched.
I don't think it is a hardware issue, since the colors are OK during bootup. I found two unresolved reports of this problem.
I am new to xfce and don't know how to troubleshoot this issue. Any ideas?
/etc/init/tty1.conf
so that the default user would be logged in automatically, and I changed~/.profile
, so thatstartxfce4
is issued on a console login -> xfce now starts automatically on bootup. I don't think this is relevant, to be honest - sorry for the red herring.
