Intalling LXDE

In the name of God
Salaam,
I'm new with ArchLinux. I install it on VBox. I want to have a GUI for my Arch, and I choose LXDE(because of simple) but I can't run it. I've installed it, but I can't run it. When I type: "exec ck-launch-session startlxde" my Arch go log-out. and I should log-in again. I've maked files "~/.xinitrc" and "/etc/X11/Xsession" and wrote that command on them.

Do you have any video drivers installed?

Re: Intalling LXDE

And how are you starting X?

I expect running "exec ck-launch-session startlxde" would log you out.  Exec replaces the currently running process (the login shell) but without X running startlxde doesn't give anything to replace it.

Re: Intalling LXDE

You put "exec ck-launch-session startlxde" inside your ~/.xinitrc file but the command you run should be startx.

Re: Intalling LXDE

Salaam,
1. I haven't install any graphic driver(I've run it on VBox).
2. When I type "startx" it error command not found. And when I type startlxde it's type nothing and doesn't do any thing.

Thanks, for your answers.

Re: Intalling LXDE

Salaam,
I found that I haven't install xorg-xinit and I should intall it, but after installing that that problem have solved and when I type "startx" tty1 do something but after all say that:
"Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connectiong refused
xinit: server error"

Re: Intalling LXDE

He should have, since it's part of: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … _Interface

# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils

Which by the way, says:

Note: If you are installing Arch as a Virtualbox guest, you need a different way to complete X installation. See Arch Linux VirtualBox Guest, then jump to the configuration part below.

m5taha5m, read the Beginner's Guide, twice. Then come back if you're stuck on something - but not before some extensive googling and wiki raiding.

Salaam,
Sorry, you(DSpider) say right, all thing's I want is in the Beginners' Guide.

Thanks for your answers.
