E17 desktop environment setup

13 Oct 2012 | android linuxdeploy

Installing and configuring the desktop environment, which is not in the list of Linux Deploy program settings, on the example of Enlightenment.

This requires an installed system, possibly without a desktop environment (in this case Debian Wheezy). Next, you need to connect to the system via SSH and install the environment:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver x11-xserver-utils xfonts-base \
                     e17 --no-install-recommends -yq
sudo apt-get clean

After that, you need to configure autostart:

mkdir ~/.vnc
chmod 755 ~/.vnc
echo "MPTcXfgXGiY=" | base64 -d > ~/.vnc/passwd
chmod 600 ~/.vnc/passwd
echo 'XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority' > ~/.vnc/xstartup
echo 'export XAUTHORITY' >> ~/.vnc/xstartup
echo 'enlightenment_start &' >> ~/.vnc/xstartup
chmod 755 ~/.vnc/xstartup

After this operation, the VNC server and Enlightenment E17 will be installed, and autostart will be configured at the start of the VNC. VNC password will be: changeme
