A complete set of elements: (a lot of software)
apt-get install lxde
A complete Debian LXDE desktop environment (starting from Debian 7.0 “Wheezy”):
apt-get install task-lxde-desktop
(also a lot of software… why do i need the open-jdk?)
apt-get install lxde-common; # install minimum of lxde, but this is not enough like you will see
if you try to start lxde via
startlxde
and get an error like
"485 gtk cannot open display" # or "can not open module vboxvideo"
you will need to install xorg (xserver) xinit xterm and reinstall the virtualbox additions
apt-get install xorg xinit xterm; # install xorg (xserver) xinit and xterm
insert the guest additions cdrom
and install them
i do it like that:
mkdir /virtualbox; # create a new directory to store the drivers mkdir /mnt/cdrom; # mount point for cdrom mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom; # mount the guest additions iso cd /mnt/cdrom; # change dir cp -rv /virtualbox; # copy drivers to local harddisk cd /virtualbox; # change dir ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run; # run the installation
it should now correct the missing videomodule problem.
test run x
if you then type:
xinit
with a mouse-cross hair
if you focus on the given terminal and type:
startlxde
you should get the full-featured lxde desktop
now the problem is how to setup xinit and lxde to start automatically…
