"or add to your ~/.xsessionrc or ~/.xinitrc." #18

It would be great if you could add these steps. I am not a Linux power user and I can't find any guides on how to add GSDE to ~/.xsessionrc or ~/.xinitrc.

I did all the other steps and they worked fine just getting blocked at this point.

I installed 64-Bit Raspberry Pi OS Lite, SSH'd into my Pi 4B and ran these commands and scripts, all worked fine I just need instructions on how to do the above.

Xsession is standard way how to start apps at Window startup.

  1. create file .xsession file in your home directory
  2. add /System/bin/startgsde to it
  3. change the permissions chmod 0755 ~/.xsession

Thank you. I would suggest adding these instructions on the main page. That might increase adoption.

I was actually coming to comment on something similar. I'm doing a new clean install on Debian and am trying to document every step (doing it on a 2015 Macbook Pro).

Since the Debian instructions call for doing a "no X11" then any new GSDE users will end up with a tty prompt. My initial reaction was simply to log in as root and running apt install wdm to keep things looking relatively the same.

Perhaps adding wdm to the script install-dependencies-debian.sh would be a good idea?

NEXTSPACE has a superb login application that I believe could be used

I improved the install_wdm.sh script and made instructions more explicit. It should make clean installation of GSDE in Debian easier.
