baev_al Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 I made this: As explained in "How to upgrade into simple desktop environment?" apt-get -y install xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme reboot However I haven't seen any changes... I run startx, the process started but also nothing changed... What are my mistakes? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Those upgrade instructions are generic and outdated. The best would be that you start with a desktop version since it's already optimized and ... working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works )) However when I connect with SSH client and give startx, I can't see it (desktop) in the SSH client. Is it possible to see it in the client at all?

Igor Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Is it possible to see it in the client at all? Of course not. You need a RDP, VNC or similar to run remote desktop but it is possible to engage a desktop remotely, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecting from a Linux system you can use: ssh -X user@ip_address and then launch the app, for example: geany & See this video to see how this thing works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYhxqWmQqNE If you connect from a Mac or Windows is a good idea install XRDP and connect by Microsoft remote desktop (from Mac store) or included in Windows: sudo apt-get install xrdp tightvncserver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just for fun - there is still something like this: https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel But I'm pretty sure this is not useful to OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
