Adding Window Manager on top of Wheezy/Kralizec

  • Is it ok to install Gnome or another window manager on top of a Wheezy install with Kralizek?


    Thanks.

  • We won't hold you from dooing that. Tough it's not really recommended to do so.

  • Hmmm. Think I'll skip that idea. Better safe and sorry...

  • While OMV is working great as a Plex server and file server, my wife pointed out that it would be useful if she could run a web browser on it and use the attached monitor.

  • The easiest way to have a desktop is install an iso from Wheezy, or Squeeze, that has the desktop you want included. Then install OMV on top. Trying to install a desktop post installation is difficult for the average user. There also can be Debian control file issues when doing so.

  • Was about to make a new thread about that, when this thread showed up.. (Nice forum feauture...)


    I see some ppl running vnc on their omw, with a desktop. And i wanna do the same. (Have a program that i want to run) Tried NX earlyer this evening, but could not get it to work properly.


    So do we see a guide soon?


    Theory:
    Install preferred desktop (Lightweight LXDE?)
    Install VNC
    Connect.
    Run program with dedicated user.


    Am i missing anything?

    Well, I don't think a Guide for something like that would be good. I would rather suggest you to use the x-forwarding Guide which already exists from tekkb.
