On a Raspberry Pi B, I installed slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140329 onto a 2GB SD card. It boots then I get the GUI login screen. When I enter my root and my password, the screen blanks for several seconds and then shows the login screen again. If I CTRL-ALT-F1 to get the text screen then I can log in as root. If I CTRL-ALT-F7 back to X, it shows the login screen again. I cannot get past the login screen.
I looked around and I didn't find anything useful, so I assume it might have something to do with my monitor. I am using a newly purchased monitor of 1600x900 resolution. I assume that since I see a graphical login screen, X windows has accepted my monitor.
I looked in /etc/X11/xorg.conf has only a few comment lines. The subdirectory xorg.conf.d has other files but the 50-Monitor.conf is 0 bytes.
EDIT: I tried a different monitor with resolution 1920 x 1200 and still have this problem.

I had a similar problem! I back spaced over tux and entered root as the user and root as the password. The login compleated. When I did a cat on /etc/group I did not find tux. I actually did: 'adduser frank' and created frank. In /home there was no subdirectory tux, since there was no user 'tux'. Going to ctrl-alt-F1 and trying to login as frank generated an error message. I had copied some "dot files" into frank from root and had not changed the owner on them. I also needed the ".xinitrc" file from root. It should also be copied to /etc/skel/. When I tried to login the error message was something like "access denied". Using root I went into /home/frank and did: 'ls -al' and saw that some of my files were still owned by root, so then did: 'chown -Rv frank:frank .*' and then did 'ls -al' again and all of my "dot files" were now owned by frank. By using a text terminal one can sometimes see where the problem is and then start from that point. When I login (GUI) as 'frank' I still have some items that don't work, but am sure all I need to do is find the item to add to some file or add some "dot file". I have the same sort of problem with trying to login as "tux" in "Slitaz-5.0-rc2" but will make another post on it. I finally did get it to login! Frank, AC0XL.

I've noticed quite a few oddities with the 20140329 version too. For some of it, I thought it was just me because I'm using a USB key instead of only an SD Card. I think its because [c]cp -a[/c] doesn't always set the right permissions but I'm not sure. (In that case, maybe it should be switched to [c]cpio[/c] archives?)
I've built the latest version and tested it just now. It seems to work without modification for me (except the part for using a USB key). You can get it here
https://github.com/pirandr/slitaz-arm/
Its the file slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140830.tar.bz2 unless you want the no-desktop base flavour (built a few days ago), in which case you should get slitaz-rpi-base-20140823.tar.bz2
For both versions, on the first boot, the post-install script asks you a few questions.

slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140830.tar.bz2 works and I now have the X-windows GUI screen. Thanks!
