Build Images with desktop?
rcla opened this issue · comments
Thank you for your great work done.
In testing, every time I want to install a desktop it takes a long time.
What are the steps to build an image that includes a desktop?
Could there be a "Downloadable Image" that includes a desktop?
You would need to edit lib/source.txt and change the img size to reflect the packages ur installing.
# stage1
RPI4="2575MB"
RPI3="2575MB"
RPI0="2250MB"
Where I would add the name of the meta-package.
PKGS2="cpu hwinfo neofetch haveged resolvconf git build-essential net-tools \
ifplugd fuse wpasupplicant wireless-tools usbutils alsa-utils gettext \
bison flex mc nano figlet toilet curl dialog python3 python3-setuptools \
openssh-client openssh-server ntfs-3g bc zram-tools libncursesw5-dev \
libssl-dev autopoint autoconf automake pkg-config libtool fake-hwclock \
python python-setuptools"
As for creating a downloadable Desktop Image; which one would you like?
Thanks for your guide, I will try this week.
In the debian image I would like full mate desktop.
I placed a Mate test image in the release section along with a screenshot.
Since you aren't the first person to ask, I'll create a Raspberry Pi 4B Desktop branch.
If you should find any major bugs or annoyances please report back.
Great news!
This weekend, I will be testing your Mate image.
With Mate test image, although physically I have the Internet working through LAN and browsing with chromium ok.
I wanted to configure the wifi with a GUI, so I installed: 'network-manager-gnome'
However, wired and wireless networks appear 'device not managed'.
Attached screenshot:
That's because it is currently still using ifupdown. In the next test img I'll add network manager.
sudo apt install network-manager network-manager-gnome -y
msg during install:
The following network interfaces were found in /etc/network/interfaces
which means they are currently configured by ifupdown:
- eth0
- wlan0
If you want to manage those interfaces with NetworkManager instead
remove their configuration from /etc/network/interfaces.
It means you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
Just leave the following:
### Interfaces
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
This has been tested using a new Xfce4 test img I'm working on.
Thank you.
Now it works!.
Sound via HDMI, I fixed it, uncomment the following line inside the file config.txt.
hdmi_drive=2
Also that screenshot of your xfce4, looks great.
