I get a back screen with a cursor after the boot messages. I first tried changing the webpage in fullpageos.txt to no avail.

I can ssh to the Pi and can ping google from it so I know that I have internet connection to the pi.

If I kill Xorg and then try to restart the service from ./run_onepageos I get a list of several error messages that it cannot open the display.

xset: unable to open display ""

This is with the latest nightly build, I'll try the october build to see if I can get that working.

I think it might be trivial to note that I am using a Pi Zero.

Cheers.

Hey,
There is a new nightly that might fix this issue. It waits for the an internal webserver to start before starting chromium.

@jorgeiglesiasca

In the nithtly from 31 of Jan (lite version around 600mb) take ages to load in Pi2 (around 10 minutes) and does not load in PiB

If i unplug the pi when it hangs loading (happens allways in Pi B ) next boot gets into a loop and at the end i get a kernel panic.

Tried to write 3 or 4 SD cards to check if was product of casuality and i always end in kernel panic. This does not happen on Pi2

I am also seeing the OP's issue on a Pi B with the latest nightly.

Same issue here with all nighty builds, X11 starting with black screen and mouse but no chrome comes up, but has PID. Only stable version with wheezy and chromium 22 is working for me on Pi B+ v1 2. Any ideas?

It seems like everyone experiencing this has a Pi 1/B+/zero. It might be anything slower than a Pi2 is too slow for the recent distro.

I'm using a Pi 3 and it is stuck on the colored screen when I boot. Unable to connect via SSH.

Hey, if anyone wants to try the recent RC, it seems to work far more better and has a chance on the RaspberryPi 1/Zero/B+.
This is a release candidate that I tested, if it works then great, if not, I am thinking about closing this as "wontfix"

@bacacosta

I tried the last nightly with a Raspberry Pi B and still have the black screen problem. Looks like this can't be fixed.

So the reason FullPageOS does not work on these devices ie since they use ARMv6, please see #43
