How would I do that?Īnd, I was thinking about installing the whole LXDE or GNOME desktop with apps and then deleting the apps that I really don't need or want on the server - mainly because I am completely new to Linux and don't really know which apps I can use to simplify running my new server and which apps I will not need.

I'd like the LXDE desktop to launch automatically when I log in, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make that happen. Is that right? Did I miss something there?
#Install retropie on debian server install#
To that end, I installed LXDE using sudo apt-get install lxde-core but the startx command would not work until I install xorg using sudo apt-get install xorg.
I've installed Debian 7.6.0 in a vmware workstation 10 without any desktop or packages to emulate the Debian 7.0 minimal installation that will be on my new server as closely as possible.Īlthough I can use nano or vim to edit files and such, I am new to Linux and I prefer a graphical text editor and desktop while I learn about running a Linux server.
