I install raspbian today on micro sd card 16 go with Win32DiskImager to put the installation image on the card.
It start perfectly, I just install oh my zsh, XRDP, vim, set static ip.
I attempt to connect to it with remote connection feature from windows everythings works great.

Then, I shutdown it, move location to put on Ethernet and boot it without screen.

I attempt again to connect to it with remote connection feature but it "didn't" work (connection was successful but no GUI ) so I go back as before with screen mouse keyboard and surprise, black screen, no error. I see the loading with "OK" and then redirect to a black screen with the white typing cursor. I'm able to use tty0 and type command, I tried some thing like rm Xauthority. I don't have a clue of what happend and It's quite frustrating to be honest. Any idea !? Thanks !

  • Have you tried reformatting your sd card?

  • No, because I'm trying to understand what really happen. I'm sure reformatting will solves this issue but if it comes again I don't want to reformat again and again :/

    It solved your problem because the Pi natively boots into the command line and from their the command startx will load up the graphical user interface. When you setup auto login all it does is enter the command startx automatically on every boot

I also experienced this issue multiple times on my RasPi. Upon checking I found that OS allotted hdd usage was 100 % (in my case the 4 GB was completely full) so GUI was unable to work due to that. I had 8 GB card so to rectify this what I did was:

$sudo raspi-config

Select expand filesystem then it will ask for reboot
