Desktop -Cinnamon
Acer 315 Chromebook with AMD A4 processor. Running Debian 11.4. Used Tasksel to download Debian Desktop Enviorment and Cinnamon Desktop. After installation I had a Linux Folder full of all kinds of apps but have no clue as to where to find the desktop. All kinds of Google searches tell me how easy is to get a desktop on my Chromebook but exactly how eludes me. Did not receive any error messages during installation but did not pop up a desktop.

Are you at the correct runlevel?
if you do a does it return graphical.target?
If you do a does it return N 5?
runlevel will tell you your current target/runlevel. If it doesn't return N 5, you're not at the correct run level for your graphical environment (0 is off.. if you magically get a return of 0.. things have gone very wrong). Runlevels 1-4 are all cli only. Runlevel 6 is a reboot.. (again, if you get a N 6 in response to sudo runlevel.. something has gone very awry" . N 5 (aka runlevel 5 and what graphical.target is linked to/aliased as) is where your gui runs and should be starting by default if you're trying to boot into a gui.
To switch run levels, you use where * can be poweroff, rescue,multi-user,graphical, or reboot. IF you're not already in graphical, try and see if that fires up your gui.
If it fires up your gui and everything works, then change your default runlevel using. If it doesn't fire up your gui, post up any errors and maybe we can get ya going.
if you do a
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl get-default
If you do a
Code: Select all
sudo runlevel
runlevel will tell you your current target/runlevel. If it doesn't return N 5, you're not at the correct run level for your graphical environment (0 is off.. if you magically get a return of 0.. things have gone very wrong). Runlevels 1-4 are all cli only. Runlevel 6 is a reboot.. (again, if you get a N 6 in response to sudo runlevel.. something has gone very awry" . N 5 (aka runlevel 5 and what graphical.target is linked to/aliased as) is where your gui runs and should be starting by default if you're trying to boot into a gui.
To switch run levels, you use
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl isolate *.target
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target
If it fires up your gui and everything works, then change your default runlevel using
Code: Select all
systemctl set-default graphical.target
