Title: Continue from commandline on Raspberry Pi 4.
Post by: meo on October 11, 2025, 11:57:56 AM

Hi guys!

Long time no see! Been away too long. I have got a commandline and extended the second partition on a 32 GB micro SD but now my memory fails me. What do I have to do to get a GUI on my Raspberry Pi running TC?

Thanks Juanito!

Now I got a GUI but I discovered something that has got a glitch to it seems. The error message I got was something specific: " /usr/sbin/tce-load: line 147: desktop.sh: not found". Thanks again after a heart attack and almost getting my head crushed is pretty visible when it comes to my memory.

Is  Xlibs.tcz  installed and loaded?

Xorg depends on Xprogs, which depends on Xlibs, so Xlibs should be loaded.

Try:

Code: [Select]

tce-status -i | grep X

Hi again! Thanks for all help! Xlibs is installed and works. Actually now everything works with the exception of my Swedish layout which makes me guess sometimes what to press. I do not know if this has anything to do with what happened but I made a mistake. I missed to install aterm from the beginning and did it later when the problems had started. I made a fresh install and since I am posting this from Firefox I do not have any complaints.
Sincerely,
