Problem Starting Up HamPC v1.2b


 

I downloaded the .xz from sourceforge.? Tried to use rufus to write to a 16GB stick which the documentation says will work.? It threw an non-descript error.? Tried BalenaEtcher.? It said I needed a 32GB stick.? Got a 32GB stick.? Burned fine.? Booted fine.? There are 3 user accounts and no documentation on the default passwords to any of them.? So I do not know if I have a working system.

There is a documentation file in the download area called "HAMPC_PASSWORD.TXT". This is the same download area as HamPC. Perhaps I didn't make this file easy enough to find?

The default password for HamPC is "hampc". Remember to change the default password for security.

I get text on initial bootup.? The video screen worked on the first bootup, it now is not legible.? Any ideas on how to set the screen resolution on boot up?? So, I didn't even get to put the password in.

Can you please use your cameraphone to take a picture and share what you're seeing, please?

Dave,

I certainly will do that, but I have some more information on the problem.? The display problem is on my Dell 2-in-1 tablet (it works as a tablet and a laptop.??

When I attached a full size monitor to the HDMI, the full size monitor works.? No changes to the tablet screen resolution worked properly, but the full size monitor worked OK.

I will test some more and get back to you with a screen shot if I cannot find a configuration that work.
