And now ?
Now you have a brand new base NuTyX installed. If you already know how to go on to get a graphical interface, you can directly check the website documentation. If you wondering how to install a complete graphical interface, continue reading.Updating the meta data about available packages
We need to inform your NuTyX about all the available packages that can be installed. An alias is available for that:sudo cards upgrade
[sudo] password for charly:You enter now the password you specified during the installation, and upgrade process starts:

You can now choose your favorite desktop. Under NuTyX: kde6, xfce4, mate, lxde, openbox, enlightenment, cinnamon, cde, flwm, ratpoison, etc are available.

Installation of a login manager
To be able to start a graphical session under NuTyX, you can choose between the "automatic", "semi-automatic" and "manual" modus.You can start a graphical session from a non graphical console as well.
Automatic graphical login
You can choose between various login manager:| Name: | Command: |
|---|---|
| lxdm |
get lxdm |
| lightdm |
get lightdm |
| slim |
get slim |
| sddm |
get sddm |
The login managers configuration file is located in:
/etc/sysconfig/xdm
Manual graphical login
The xdm login manager will be install. It's a very simple application and therefore needs an .xinitrc configuration file at the root of the home directory.get xorg-xdmLet's configure the .xinitrc configuration file.
We copy the available xinitrc file from the xorg-xinit packager already installed:
cp /etc/X11/app-defaults/xinitrc ~/.xinitrcReplace the last 5 lines:
twm & xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 & xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 & xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 & exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name loginwith the name of your installed graphical interface above. For example, for mate:
exec mate-session
Starting the graphical server from a non graphical console
We install the graphical server and the initialiser:get xorgAs for the manual graphical login xdm, it needs an .xinitrc configuration file at the root of the home directory.
Once the configuration is in place and the server installed, you can start it from a non-graphical console via the command:
startx
If you still don't get any good result, you probably need to install the driver for your graphical card(s).

get xorg-xf86-video-ati |

And to finish up
The easiest way is to reboot your machine. After reboot, you will be prompted to choose your login name via lxdm or slim. If you have installed slim, you should press F1 to select the right desktop to login to.sudo reboot
Conclusion
I suggest that you read the section on the base commands to enable you to go further with your installation.
