Title: Trouble installing LXDE
Post by: stenstorp on November 21, 2014, 09:26:18 PM

Hey guys, I've been trying to install LXDE onto tinycore but I've been having some trouble,not trouble installing it or getting it to work but rather trying to find it. I know it's in the tinycore repositories but when I search for 'LXDE' in the app browser, only the lxde icon theme shows up (as shown in the attachment). I'm using a fresh image with nothing installed at all.
Thankyou to anyone who can help.

For LXD you need to be running V4, not 5

You could try downloading it from th V4 repo and see if it runs

so, up to version 4.7.7 I'm guessing. If not, I'll just download an earlier version  ;D

I can't seem to get it working on 4.7.7 either.

Hi gerald_clark
I haven't used LXDE and it doesn't show up as a dependency, but is it possible you need  lxmenu-data.tcz ?

I tried version coreplus 4.2.0 but all I could find was lxde-common but not actually lxde :( However, I did see xfce4 so I'll see how that goes.
