I am having the same problem I am getting a 0 cannot open display error and a startpar: services returned failure lxde in the xorg log the only error that really pops up is this:
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Operation not permitted

Xserver works perfectly well with alpha 3

Same problem for me .. but looks like XBian ist not supposed to support LXDE at all: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/214#issuecomment-12094494

But since it worked in Alpha 3, I wonder what has changed ...

Some users state it's our new implementation of /etc/profile.d/hideoutput.sh

Another issue related to hideoutput.sh

In A4 when you add a new user and ssh in with the said user, you'll encounter the sudo password prompt (reported by solence, I just tested it)

This is due to the new implementation of /etc/profile.d/hideoutput.sh which checks if you are running on tty1 (xbmc I reckon) or a shell. In the else clause (the shell part) we got a few "sudo fbset" commands which invoke this behaviour.

I'm not sure what the behaviour is if you just comment that part out, but I guess it would be prudent to modify /etc/sudoers if this is really needed.

Add the following line to the end of your /etc/sudoers (usage of visudo command highly recommended)
ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/fbset

There might be some security concerns with that, but if it's your home entertainment system thingie then I doubt modifying that will send your bank account credentials out.

Can you report it at our git issues?

@CurlyMo, It's been a while but I have tried your changes. (Even on a new install) However for me they don't work. My ext. HDD is only found when I mount it in fstab.

What was it about

[millie]

using xbian-config to change root password doesn't work
It says password succesfully changed through reboot can't use new password.
The same happens if you try to perform in terminal

root:/home/xbian# passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully

try to login via SSH or WinSCP with new password and still Access Denied.
I have tried the simplest of password including 123456 and still access denied

[CurlyMo]

I can't replicate your problem 'cause it works perfectly here.

[m-unit]

same deal here. I am trying to copy my exported movie database onto the card so I can import it. I am using winscp and I can't copy anything with the xbian account.

I changed the root account pass using the config via ssh and when trying to use winscp it gives wrong password.

how is this working for other people?

I still haven't got any problems. Did you guys use the SCP protocol instead of the SFTP?

I get this black screen issue when I update my libraries ... I've got many movies and tv shows, and after some time updating I get a black screen ... I previously had automatic update on reboot ... had to remove it, as after some time It locked up ...

Now I just navigate via files ... no problems there ...

on alpha 3 I had no problems with this ...

already tried 2 different sd cards ... on both I had the problem
