Prerequisites
Install MATE Desktop
# apk add mate-desktop-environment dbus dbus-x11 lxdm adwaita-icon-theme faenza-icon-theme sudo # gvfs_pkgs=$(apk search gvfs -q | grep -v '\-dev' | grep -v '\-lang' | grep -v '\-doc') # apk add $gvfs_pkgs
# apk del mate-screensaver # ln -s /usr/etc/xdg/menus/ /etc/xdg/menus # apk add mate-screensaver
- What is going on here??
Add all available True Type Fonts:
$ ttfs=$(apk search -q ttf- | grep -v '\-doc') # apk add $ttfs
If you are running your Alpine from RAM, save the changes:
# lbu ci
Try, starting dbus and lxdm. This will start the display manager and should allow you to login.
# rc-service dbus start # rc-service lxdm start
If it worked, enable the services to start on reboot
# rc-update add lxdm # rc-update add dbus
