Under the heading of RTFM, I share with you a problem I really created for myself.
I was trying to install and start GParted using these instructions https://raspberry-projects.com/pi/softw ... ls/gparted. When I got to the step of executing 'sudo startx' i did read past the instruction to see the cautionary note. The result was that when my login screen was presented, I would login in, the display would go blank, then the login screen would come back. I could SSH in with no issue.
When I finally got back to reviewing the instructions, and the cautionary note, I found the solution to my problem posted in the commentsAs I was running this from SSH, I didn't need the CTRL+ALT+F1. I have no experience with this sequence but did find this post for an explanation viewtopic.php?t=109429
Posting this for the next poor soul who fails to RTFM.
