Install MATE Desktop
For while MATE Desktop packages are in Edge, then we'll need to add its repository to our list. To do so, issue the following command:
echo http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main >> /etc/apk/repositories apk update
The next commands are used to install all avaliable video drivers and setup Xorg server:
{{Cmd|videodrivers=$(apk search --quiet --exact xf86-video* | grep -v -- '-doc$')
setup-xorg-base $videodrivers}}
Now let us install a bunch of needed packages what includes all MATE Desktop packages avaliable in our Edge repository:
grep -v '\-dev'
In the next step we add some services to start up with the operating system:
rc-update add lxdm rc-update add dbus rc-update add udev
adduser -h /home/monitor -g "Monitor User" monitor
rc-service dbus start
- replacing the hardcoded 'system_bus_socket' path
dbus_sock_path=$(find / -name system_bus_socket) dbus_sock_path=$(echo $dbus_sock_path | sed 's/\//\\&/g') sed -i 's/\/var\/run\/dbus\/system_bus_socket/'$dbus_sock_path'/' /etc/dbus-1/system.conf
ttfs=$(apk search -q ttf- | grep -v '\-doc') apk add $ttfs
ln -s /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.11.3 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 apk fix ln -s /usr/etc/xdg/menus/ /etc/xdg/menus
- lbu ci
rc-service udev start rc-service lxdm start
