Fluxbox + lightdm on ubuntu 20.04 running on BBG

mx flag

I have configured ubuntu 20.o4 LTS for ARM Cortex (BBG) processor, connected LCD. I am trying to configure fluxbox and the lightdm window manager. Fluxbox and lightdm is not showing login window. When i see status of the lightdm it says Active and running but I have the below errors:

When trying to run fluxbox using startfluxbox it says "could not connect display "

Appreciate your input.

Thanks, Mrudula

You have to try `sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service` and then find Fluxbox session on LightDM login screen.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
