Graphical enviroment

Hi evebody,


I'm new in the Archlinux world and I have a problem with the graphical enviroment.
I had install the LXDE (following the archlinux's wiki).
All happends ok,
I had install xdm too and change the .xinitrc file liki the wiki.
But I can't use graphical mode. When I type startx command, the message "command not found" appears.
How can I install the graphical enviroment like LXDE or KDE?
Thanks!

Re: Graphical enviroment

Here you friend me give you an example. xinirc to see

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~ /. Xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

exec openbox-session

ie in your case you need to put exec windows name> Manager>

greetings

Re: Graphical enviroment

According to the article, the following packages are installed with pacman -S lxde:
gpicview
lxappearance
lxde-common
lxde-settings-daemon
lxlauncher
lxmenu-data
lxpanel
lxrandr
lxsession-lite
lxtask
lxterminal
menu-cache
openbox
pcmanfm

Since 'startx' is not found, and you have been a little vague, it leads me to believe that you have not installed xorg nor video drivers...is that the case? Did you follow the beginners' guide, or did you skip right to the lxde article perhaps?

Re: Graphical enviroment

What graphics card do you have because you will probably need to get some drivers.
