OK, I have spent the last day googling my heart out trying to find the Xorg.log
file without any luck.
The problem is that due to the rpi hanging on boot, the only way I can access
the SD card to look for the file is place
it in a USB SD card reader and use my VirtualBox based Debian to "ls"
directores etc.
Having established that there is no file located at /var/log/Xorg.log (there
isn't a log directory) but there is a
symbolic link in the var directory - goes nowhere.
After goggling I discovered that the file could also be in the
~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log, however if I try to look
there I get "permission denied" and cannot seem to get to the root directory of
the card and I can't find a way around
this as I'm trying to access this directory through the USB card reader.
Looked everywhere with no answers, Is there anyone who could help me here??
/var/log is on a volatile file system (i.e. it does not live on the SD card)
If you can get into your board via SSH, you can copy the file and send it

Hi All,
Very new to all this linux world, and especially Yocto.
I'm working on a embedded project at the moment using a raspberry pi2 board.
I have used toaster with Morty 2.2 to compile an image using"rpi-basic-image",
to this I have added the following bitbake variables:
Bitbake variables
DISTRO
poky
DL_DIR
/home/steve/poky/downloads
IMAGE_FSTYPES
ext3 jffs2 tar.bz2 rpi-sdimg
IMAGE_INSTALL_append
packagegroup-core-x11-base packagegroup-lxde-base connman
PACKAGE_CLASSES
package_rpm
SSTATE_DIR
/home/steve/poky/sstate-cache
DISABLE_OVERSCAN
1
GPU_MEM_1024
512
I have dd'ed the image to an SD card increased the sdb2 partition to the max size and
powered up the rpi. Everything looks fine to start with, as it displays the four
raspberrys in the top left, then the white "Yocto Project" splash screen
complete with small blue dot to the side appears, the progress bar moves across to 100
percent, then the screen turns black with a white
cursor in the middle and it appears to freeze with only a very dim one second flash of
the "act" led.
I have then connected the 7" touchscreen and apart from the added multicolored
square at the very beginning I get the exact same boot up problem, hangs on the
black screen with white cursor (good to see its all resized correctly for the TfT
through!!)
Before adding the packagegroup-core-x11-base and packagegroup-lxde-base I
successfully copied over and ran the rpi-basic-image with no problem, ending up
with a usable console.
Looking for any help here, I'm thinking I've missed adding a package, or some
type of local.conf instruction. any suggestions would be
appreciated.............
Can you send the content of /var/log/Xorg.log file ?
