What do I need to do to cause startx to give me a lxde session?
== details
This is a server I recently upgraded 11.3. CLI only historically. I just added the new lxde pattern via yast. (No gnome / kde / etc.)
init 5 lets me login with a lxde desktop session, so I appear to have the core software installed and working.
But this is a server and I prefer to leave it at init 3 most of the time and run startx if I want a lxde session.
Unfortunately, that just gives me a bare bones X screen.
ie. Solid color screen which I can left click on and get a basic menu to create a xterm, etc.
Thanks Greg
Greg cp .xinitrc.template .xinitrc vi .xinitrc (or use the editor of your choice) change: exec $WINDOWMANAGER to exec startlxde :wq ( or quit the editor of your choice) then startx that will start lxde by default simply by issuing the startx command The to preserver this for the future, just cp .xinitrc .xinitrc.lxde just in case you overwrite it etc.. -- David C.
