crp Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Raspberry Pi 4 , with a case and NOOBS 16 from Chicago Electronic. original intent was to use it at work as a redirector with simpleproxy , now thinking of using it for serving up static web pages for 3 different sites. Hope to have things together tomorrow. Edited April 29, 2020 by crp 1 1 Quote

crp Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 debian flavor of raspbery linux. turns out Alt-F1 gives a console screen, startx does not work. Monitor is hooked up via usb , i don''t think xserver can deal with that. so i'm stuck with command line. Quote

That is your problem. You can't use a usb monitor on a RPI without some xorg configuration: https://www.mimomonitors.com/pages/using-our-usb-displays-with-the-raspberry-pi-3 It's not a plug and play sort of thing on a RPi. Do you not have a HDMI display to use? Once you set up ssh, you don't need a display connected as you can just control it over the network from one of your other machines. Quote

Yes, physically it works but you have to manually configure xorg.conf to get it to show the graphical environment. Quote
