Now, as the root user: make install If you have installed recommended dependencies, run the following commands as the root user: update-mime-database /usr/share/mime && gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/hicolor && update-desktop-database -q You can start LXDE from runlevel 3, using , or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager, such as . To start LXDE using , run the following commands: cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF" ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startlxde EOF startx The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7. You can switch to a vtn (n=1, 2, ...) simultaneously pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-Fn. To switch back to the X session, normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. If started from vt1 (the usual case), you will see many messages there, including X starting messages, applications automatically started with the session, and eventually, some warning and error messages. You may prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep vt1 uncluttered, but also can be used for debug purposes. This can be done starting X with: startx &> ~/.x-session-errors You may wish to drop consolekit and/or dbus-launch, e.g., just using startlxde in .~/.xinitrc, but some functionalities such as mount/umount file systems from a file manager will not be possible, or the reboot option will be absent or not functioning, between other problems. Because X is (normally) on vt7, when you shutdown the vt is switched back to that one where the command starting it was executed. In this case, if you wish to see the shutdown messages, simultaneously press keys Alt-F7, because normally those messages appear on the vt where X was running.
