I have Bullseye sharing a Chromebook with ChromeOS and I'd like a desktop.
I have tried :-
sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop
and sudo apt-get install kde desktop
neither worked both maybe they were applicable to a previous distro, the startKDE command returned "not found"
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc returned directory not found.
any help much appreciated. aamcle

Read this and try
(sddm will provide you with graphical login screen to your desktop environment).
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install kde-standard sddm
Re: Add a desktop to bullseye..

Re: Add a desktop to bullseye..
Have you installed the X server as well?
Try to run:
And then configure the X server:
If everything is OK, this command will create a file /root/xorg.conf.new
Copy it to the X11 config directory and rename to xorg.conf:
And then reboot. Hopefully, the GUI will start. If it doesn't, you'll need to properly configure you graphic drivers. IDK what GPU your ChromeBook has, but try studying corresponding articles on graphic drivers and graphic setup in the Wiki.
Try to run:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install xorg
Code: Select all
sudo X -configure
Copy it to the X11 config directory and rename to xorg.conf:
Code: Select all
sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Re: Add a desktop to bullseye..
apt handles dependencsies, if you install kde or any DE, it will pull X.
To OP:
I have no first hand experience, try web search:
- linux to chromebook
- Debian to chromebook

sudo apt-get install xorg ..............................................worked
sudo X -configure ......................................................returns server already running
sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf................returnes cp: cannot stat '/root/xorg.conf.new no such directory.
I'll try to find were it has hidden xorg.comf.new
