Setup Xorg
Use Alpine's setup script:
# setup-xorg-base
Add any additional video drivers necessary:
# apk add xf86-video-ati
Add additional input drivers (if necessary)
# apk add xf86-input-synaptics
Enable Community Repository
Mate is available in the Community repository. Uncomment http://<url>/alpine/<version>/community in /etc/apk/repositories. For example:
Contents of /etc/apk/repositories
Install MATE Desktop
Add extra necessary packages. The following command will add all components of the MATE Desktop except for the *-dev, *-lang, and *-doc packages. If you would like man pages added, omit | grep -v '\-doc'
# apk add desktop-file-utils gtk-engines consolekit gtk-murrine-engine caja caja-extensions marco dbus dbus-x11 lxdm udev hicolor-icon-theme sudo # mate_pkgs=$(apk search mate -q | grep -v '\-dev' | grep -v '\-lang' | grep -v '\-doc') # apk add $mate_pkgs
Create a regular user:
# adduser -h /home/<user> -g "Full User Name" <user>
# apk del mate-screensaver # ln -s /usr/etc/xdg/menus/ /etc/xdg/menus # apk add mate-screensaver
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
Enable services to start on reboot
# rc-update add lxdm # rc-update add dbus # rc-update add udev
And finally, start the dbus, udev, and lxdm. This will start the display manager and allow you to login.
# rc-service dbus start # rc-service udev start # rc-service lxdm start
Misc
Disabling standby and screensaver
Check the current configuration using xset:
$ sudo apk add xset $ xset q
Contents of xset q
To disable those timers issue the command:
$ xset dpms 0 0 0
Santiy check:
$ xset q | grep Standby Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
