Instructions to get X desktop running from base a10Core image. It is assumed that sdcard and initial setup both TCE directory and network have been successfully completed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now using the simple command line import tool, type: $ sce-import -b Xprogs $ sce-import -b flwm_topside $ sce-import -b wbar $ sce-import -b xorg-fbdev The above will download all the packages and create the required sces to get a typical TinyCore (flwm_topside & wbar) desktop environment. Next you must specify the desktop as a boot parameter. To update boot codes, edit the text file uEnv.txt. This file resides on the boot partition. Typically this is the sdcard mmcblk0p1 $ mount /mnt/mmcblk0p1 $ sudo vi /mnt/mmcblk0p1/uEnv.txt Then add desktop=flwm_topside to the end of the extraargs line. When successfully completed, reboot to automatically start X. $ sudo reboot ====================================================================================== NOTE: You are NOT limited to flwm_topside, and wbar, as was the default for TinyCore. And in fact, many will likely be more comfortable with LXDE as their desktop. For example: $ sce-import -b Xprogs $ sce-import -b xorg-fbdev $ sce-import -b lxde Next mount the boot partition as shown above and add the following to the end of the extraargs line. desktop=flwm_topside $ sudo reboot Will result in an LXDE desktop.
