happyzax Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I have been trying to install a minimal XFCE4 desktop environment onto my Orange Pi Zero 2+ H5 but have run into a weird issue. Here is the command I use... sudo apt-get -y install xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme which I had found elsewhere in the forums. The main issue I have is that I cannot start the desktop with the normal user account. It works if I startup with this... sudo startxfce4 which runs the root user desktop, but fails when I try to run it as just a user. Does anybody know what I have done wrong?
happyzax Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Apparently I was WAY OFF! Based on what I could find in lib/configuration.sh and lib/desktop.sh the packages I needed to install are more like this... xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-fbdev gvfs-backends gvfs-fuse xfonts-base xinit x11-xserver-utils xfce4 lxtask xfce4-terminal mirage thunar-volman galculator hexchat gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf libgtk2.0-bin gcj-jre-headless xfce4-screenshooter libgnome2-perl gksu network-manager-gnome network-manager-openvpn-gnome xfce4-notifyd gnome-keyring gcr libgck-1-0 libgcr-3-common p11-kit pasystray pavucontrol pulseaudio paman pavumeter pulseaudio-module-gconf bluez bluez-tools pulseaudio-module-bluetooth blueman libpam-gnome-keyring libgl1-mesa-dri mpv libreoffice-writer libreoffice-style-tango libreoffice-gtk policykit-1 fbi profile-sync-daemon cups-pk-helper cups mesa-utils mesa-utils-extralightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter thunderbird chromium-browser language-selector-gnome paprefs numix-gtk-theme system-config-printer-common system-config-printer-gnome mate-utils ubuntu-mate-welcome mate-settings-daemon Note... there are more packages in the above list than are really necessary, but at the same time none of the nice desktop tweaks Armbian Desktop are included. I found the information here in the comments for this thread.... Thanks Zador..
