Finish up your installation

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:
[/]
Upgrade is done. You are now ready to install the rest of the packages to obtain a graphical NuTyX interface.

Desktop installation:

You can now choose your favorite desktop. Under NuTyX: kde5, xfce4, mate, lxde, openbox, enlightenment, cinnamon, cde, flwm, ratpoison, etc are available.

Available desktops:
kde5
get kde5
xfce4 xfce4-extra
get xfce4 xfce4-extra
mate
get mate
lxde
get lxde
openbox
get openbox
enlightenment
get enlightenment
cinnamon
get cinnamon
cde
get cde
jwm
get jwm
blackbox
get blackbox
icewm
get icewm
ratpoison
get ratpoison
flwm
get flwm
i3
get i3

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:
Available login manager:
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-xdm
Let'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 ~/.xinitrc
Replace 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 login
with 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 xorg
As 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).

Xorg Driver of your graphical card

Availables Xorg graphical cards drivers:
Ati
get xorg-xf86-video-ati
Intel
get xorg-xf86-video-intel
Nvidia
get xorg-xf86-video-nouveau
Vesa
get xorg-xf86-video-vesa
VMware
get xorg-xf86-video-vmware
Virtualbox
get xorg-xf86-video-vboxvideo
FrameBuffer
get xorg-xf86-video-fbdev
VIA
get xorg-xf86-video-openchrome

Touch screen Driver

If your machine use a touch screen, you could install the driver for it:
get xorg-xf86-input-wacom

Usefull applications

You should now install a few tools that might be very useful:

Compressed files tools

get zip unzip

Home directory and sound themes manager

get xdg-user-dirs sound-theme-freedesktop

Recycle bin and automatic medias mounting manager

get gvfs

Sound manager

get alsa-utils pavucontrol

NTFS (windows) formated partitions manager

get ntfs-3g

Internet Browser

get firefox
or
get chromium
or
get chrome

Mail client

get thunderbird

Office suite

get libreoffice

Instant message

Instant message

get pidgin
or
get telegram-desktop
or
get discord

Laptop pad management

get xorg-xf86-input-synaptics

Wireless tools management

If you are using a wireless connection as default, install network-manager-applet:
get network-manager-applet

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.
