=== Starting a Desktop Environment
|
||
|
|
You can install any desktop environment or window manager you would like via <<changing_the_installed_software,package lists>>! From there, it's simply a matter of setting the correct Systemd unit to start automatically. The https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/[Arch wiki^] has a lot of useful information here. As an example, I'll include http://lxde.org/[LXDE^] instructions here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simply create a symlink for the target. In the `<basedir>/overlay/etc/systemd/system/` directory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service display-manager.service
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Autologin (LXDE)
|
||
|
|
Many desktop environments even offer an automatic login feature directly through the desktop manager (LXDM, in LXDE's case).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Again, using LXDE as an example, create a file at `<basedir>/overlay/etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[base]
|
||
|
|
autologin=bdisk
|
||
|
|
greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
|
||
|
|
[server]
|
||
|
|
arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1
|
||
|
|
[display]
|
||
|
|
gtk_theme=Adwaita
|
||
|
|
bottom_pane=1
|
||
|
|
lang=1
|
||
|
|
keyboard=0
|
||
|
|
theme=Industrial
|
||
|
|
[input]
|
||
|
|
[userlist]
|
||
|
|
disable=0
|
||
|
|
white=
|
||
|
|
black=
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LXDE will then automatically log in with the user `bdisk` (note the second line, right under `[base]`) whenever started.
