I am trying to setup an OS on my Raspberry Pi through PINN, that I flashed onto a USB drive. The OS I'm having trouble with is Arch2 (Arch Linux port for ARM7 devices RPi2/3/4/z2). This one is on the list of loadable OSes on PINN. The PINN version I'm using is v3.9.3.
I was successful at getting firmware, system updates, graphics drivers, kernel, keys, and etc onto my device. However, I can't seem to get any GUIs to work. Xorg fails before allowing the GUI to function and will not log any errors in (cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log) nor (~/.local/share/xorg/ directory). Every time I try to find the log files, the system responds with "no such file or directory exists." Whenever I try to start a specific GUI (LightDM, LXDE, XFCE, etc.) the system goes to a blank page with a blinking _ at the top left corner of the screen. The specific display manager log files show that Xorg dumped core and there were segmentation faults.
Here are the specific errors that show up after using startx:
(EE)
(EE) Backtrace:
xinit: giving up
xinit: server error
Current Setup:
Raspberry Pi = RPi3 (model B rev1.2).
OS = Arch2 - armv7l
Graphics driver = vc4-kms-v3d
Display Manager = LXDE
Firmware = alarm/raspberrypi-utils (This is what I replaced raspberrypi-firmware with in the first system update -Syu)
Additionally I tried using Wayland (weston) and I was having similar issues. I spoke with the Arch Linux and Arch Linux Arm communities about this and they suggested that it may be an issue with the multiboot software (PINN), since the GUIs usually have no errors upon launch.
Is it impossible to get a GUI on this version? Is my hardware incompatible? Can someone clear up what specific graphics drivers I need to be using and what packages I need in order to start a GUI? Any help would be VERY appreciated!
