Display VGA from command line

thanh_tan

Hello,

I have Orange PI Zero with extention board. Since the Orange PI Zero don't have HDMI display so i want to display the screen via VGA of extention board.

I have installed Armbian sucessfully (5.25) and connect it via SSH. I've installed also ubutu desktiop (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)

But when I start the server X with command ~# startx --:0 it go error and don't display anything

This is the error returned
