xfce on XBian
Hey guys,
i'm wondering on how to use xfce on my Pi. Why xfce? because i read, that there some issues on using LXDE as a desktop-environment while having xbmc installed (raspbian). I'm using the 2nd rev. of the raspberry model b with the XBian Alpha 5. i've installed xorg and xfce4 packages. but how to go on? my goal is: booting the pi to the desktop (to surf the web, search youtube etc. ) and start xbmc by clicking the icon. if there is any other possibility to get a working webbrowser as a plug-in or something else, please let me know ;-) hope you guys might help p.s.: sorry for my bad english |

RE: xfce on XBian
You should be able to start XFCE (after installing) with the command
Code: startxfce4 or Code: startx http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=19124 Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |

RE: xfce on XBian
yeah, starting it isn't the problem via terminal. but i want the system to boot into xfce and create a desktop icon for xbmc.
because now the system boots into xbmc. is that right: For startx add in file ~/.xinitrc: Terminal exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 so i did the following: Terminal cd ~ touch .xinitrc nano .xinitrc i'll try a restart after checking my movies-library... ;-)[/term] but how do i create a desktop-icon for xbmc? i even can't find it in the applications finder.... |

RE: xfce on XBian
moved this thread as it is WIP on desktop environment and not an additional package for XBian/XBMC
