armsoc_dri.so, No such file or directory

[expanderbolt]

I have a rockpro64 with bionic-minimal-rockpro64-0.7.10-1072-armhf.img installed on a sd card.
It runs just fine until I tried to install a desktop.

I ran /usr/local/sbin/install_desktop.sh mate and it installed a gazilion of packages.

After reboot I just get a cursor on a blank screen. After investigating the logfile ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log it says:


...
[  2609.954] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed

I cant find the file armsoc_dri.so anyware. Any tips?

Somewhere, but I guess on IRC as a quick search here I cant find it, was posted that missing armsoc_dri.so is a fact as it never existed. But you should have /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/armsoc_drv.so

So that is normal - your next error (failing to map buffer) is far more interesting - seems you have an odd screen? (508x285) Can you swap to something standard?

But are you sure there is a real problem - if you have an openbox desktop a right mouse click on the desktop will bring up a menu?

I have a standard monitor connected to the rockpro64. The monitor can handle solutions up to 1920x1080.  I have no idea why the rockpro wants to use the solution 508x285. The monitor works very well with my Odroid XU4.

I do not have any desktop working at all, only the console.


I have tried ayufans bionic-lxde-rockpro64-0.7.10-1072-arm64.img image and the lxde-desktop  works (at 1920x1080) but I dont like lxde and want the mate desktop.

I came across this issue myself and I think what got past it was going to the X server config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I commented out the line that mentioned armsoc in there.
Don't remember exactly what I did but it was something like that.

Thanks but
I gave up and downloaded a dietpi distribution for rockpro64 instead.
Much more stable!
