    Install X Graphical Window System and a Desktop Environment

    17/07/2017Updated:17/07/2017No Comments1 Min Read

    The X Window System provides the foundation for a graphical user interface. Prior to installing a desktop environment, a functional X server installation is required.

    Install The X Window System

    # apt-get install xorg

    You will want to install GDM, KDM, or XDM to login with a GUI environment. GDM is the most popular but you can try the others

    # apt-get install gdm

    Install a Desktop Environment

    The two biggest players in the game are Gnome and KDE, but there are also many smaller GUIs, like Xfce and LXDE that have just as much to offer. Install GUI on debian 7 wheezy

    Start Desktop Environment

    After installing a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or Desktop Environment, you can start to use by log in as root or non-root user.

    $ startx

    If you messed up with the X Window System’s configuration, you can reconfigure the package as root

    For Sarge

    # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

    For Etch or Sid

    # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
