I did it because it was a piecemeal download and I'm not interested in the games and educational packages in the full version. I installed some bigish X apps and let those dependencies fill in the basis of X. Installing the xinit deb got startx working and it's mostly been downhill from there.
But I wonder if anyone's installed the full image, done dpkg-query -l > file, then done the same thing with the lite image and done a diff of the package lists?
I'm seeing weird things wrong like something's still missing. My LXDE clock digits are black on a dark gray background. The Debian wallpaper shows banding over the gradient, like I'm in 256 color mode. When I run Synaptic I see white text on a black background, yet Iceweasel, Filezilla, Lazarus, Gimp, Gtkam look normal (different widget set?). I installed the X basic utilities so I could get a screenshot of Synaptic, but xwd gives an error that X_QueryColors failed. I run xrandr and it fails to get the size of gamma. From my xorg log it looks like I'm running depth 16 (really?). Looking at photos online in Iceweasel I don't think so. OK, maybe just the framebuffer. Nothing else looks odd in the xorg log.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
The lite version is really intended for server or headless operation. IMO you are better off installing the full version then removing some of the heavy applications to regain some disk space. (wolfram-engine, Scratch, libre office etc)

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
To go from jessie-lite, to jessie-lite plus gui:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-ui-modsRe: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Well, it helped the colors. I rebooted and found my Windows-ish task bar at the top of the screen and no pager. Did a few things like test the Pi on the monitor I want to use eventually to see if my config.txt would give me video, it did, but didn't boot all the way. So I moved everything back down here, re-tensioned and cleaned the SD card contacts. Booted back up, typed startx and I find myself in OpenBox, I think. The screen acted a little like fvwm in that I right-clicked on the full-screen Pi wallpaper finally and saw a small menu with obconf listed. That didn't work, had to cycle power.
Now I'm looking at mc in text mode wondering how I can switch window managers back to LXDE from here, or use FVWM which I installed first. My first thought is to change /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to make it look like a more straight-forward OpenBSD one, not use Xsession. Except when I connect over VNC Xsession is still going to get used I think. Sure wish mc were part of the standard Pi package.
I found startlxde and startlxde-pi but they say they can't open the display, like they need to be called from xinitrc. Commented out the last line of xinitrc, called startlxde from there, and now I'm back in LXDE, but still with what looks like low color depth. I like the lite-ness of it though, top shows me load averages like 0.04 with X running.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Don't compound the problem by doing my suggestion as well, do a clean install and start again.
Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
I did your suggestion but ended up here in OpenBox. I think LXDE was derived from OpenBox originally. I've been an rxvt user for 15 years or more, never paid much attention. Maybe it's like planting seeds from a hybrid crop and they come up as one of the original crops.
I left my Pi running with a terminal window open in an LXDE screen, came back about an hour later and it seems to have lost connection with the SD card. echo $PATH works, but df, ls, which, mount all give errors. This probably won't reboot nicely. Oh well, at least I've got my debs backed up on another machine and my changes to config.txt and interfaces. This Pi has never been super reliable. Most of my icons have little red Xs in them now. I did try downloading the big image originally but after about 36 hours of downloading all I had was a corrupt image. I've got a NetBSD image I haven't tried yet. And I could try a different SD card but this is a Sandisk 64 gig.
It booted back up fine, haven't gone into X yet. Hah! Copied in my xinitc from my OpenBSD laptop and it works. I'm in fvwm, Lazarus works at least. xdpyinfo says screen0 (default) has a depth of 16 planes. Maybe I'll try an org.conf. Fun anyway and I can reload the SD card. I've got a working C compiler and make, plus the libraries to compile at least simple stuff.
I went into config.txt and selected a lower resolution mode, thinking it might give more colors. Nope. In raspi-config I adjusted the split to give the GPU 64 megs of RAM. No difference. I wondered about firmware so I installed rpi-update and ran it. It wanted to up the kernel from 4.1 to 4.4 so I said no. If I go to my area on Nikonians and look at photographs in Iceweasel they look normal, but if I try to open one locally in qiv I get a black screen. It's almost like some things are using a colormap but not everything. Some programs get a different color depth than others.
One of the things I wanted to use this for is remote photography. I've got a spare Nikon Coolpix P520, I'd like to connect that with gphoto2, use an antenna rotator to turn it, something for elevation, tied to the GPIO pins. The camera has 43:1 zoom and if supported by gphoto can focus manually, takes 18 megapixel images. I'd like to write something to drive this over the web. I suppose I don't really need X since the Pi would be mounted at the camera but it would be helpful for development. Libre Office bogs down even my fastest machine, I'll skip trying to run that. Never mind, the P520 can only do PTP mode, can't capture or be configured by gphoto2. So it's the Pi camera I guess.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Well, over a week later I've still got Openbox. It's now working quite nicely both over VNC and on the actual HDMI output. Since I'm hopefully only a few more days away from having the full image downloaded I'll live with it.
The key to switching window managers I think is Debian's "update-alternatives". You can set the category (probably not the right name for it) x-window-manager to lxde, right now mine's set to openbox. Except my lxde isn't complete, I think I need to add the deb task-lxde-desktop. Which has a list of dependencies a mile long, at least in my case.
I've almost come to the conclusion that if you're on a low bandwidth connection you should NEVER use apt-get update and certainly never apt-get upgrade. I spend huge chunks of my life just updating software, trading one set of bugs for another. Some of my software is at least a week old, and it'll take me days to update it, by which time it'll be obsolete again and I can start over. This is a complaint against Debian, not the Pi. I've got a couple other Debian systems, one of which I haven't broken by not putting on my blinders and only doing things the Debian way. There needs to be a way to turn off its greed for consuming bandwidth. 80% of the world has good internet, I won't have for a couple more years https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/publicati ... case_study.
I much prefer the OpenBSD way of doing things, but I can't talk OpenBSD into considering the Pi because of the BLOBs (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10162101) and I don't have the knowledge to do the work myself. An OpenBSD release comes out every 6 months, and with it knowledge of a certain set of programs, including version numbers. Stick with those and most things work fine. I usually update about every 2 years because it takes me about 2 months. If I break something I can usually fix it without a complete reload because it's a simpler system. Debian doesn't want you to install programs that didn't come through them, I do it fairly often with OpenBSD, which I've been using since about 2001.
Anyway, with most of the BSDs you install a few base packages, and if you want X you install a few X packages. Other than minimal editors and compilers these don't include anything huge like Libre Office, those in are their own packages. I'd like to see a Lite with X or a pseudo-package for adding X to Lite. It's not the space, it's the download time. I work with 32, 64 and 128 gig SDs, I don't mind the space.
I've added something like: raspberrypi-ui-mods, xinit, lxde, evdev, fbturbo and next task-lxde-desktop It is possible. I don't remember when the low color depth issue went away but it did.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
They do seem to push a lot of bits through that don't seem to change anything. If you've got a slow connection, and I'm not sure what that means so I'd define that as something like a 56K modem speed, then what you should do is save your apt-get cache materials so you can avoid downloading them more than once. Having a local source for your updates radically speeds things up if you've got more than one system and sets a defined time for doing the job if the update is in the cache, a good idea if you need it updated at a time certain. If you've ever had 150 meg to download and its coming in at a meg a second and then suddenly it is going at 10 bytes a second and the total time for the job changes to days from minutes, you know what I mean.ab1jx wrote:I've almost come to the conclusion that if you're on a low bandwidth connection you should NEVER use apt-get update and certainly never apt-get upgrade.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Over dialup 56k modem which usually works at about 30k out here, I used to get 10 megabytes an hour or realtime monitoring 3000 K bits/sec. On my cell phone connection most of the time I get about 7000 K bits/sec. Before I retired I had access to a good connection at work, a CD ISO took a couple hours.
I thought all debs ended up in /var/cache/apt/archives so I was keeping careful backups of that. Only now I find stuff missing and I've looked through all my backups. Lazarus especially right now, I've had to replace joe and mc. If you use Synaptic you can select things, it will add the dependencies it needs, then have it generate a download script which calls wget. Then when you're done you either point Synaptic to where you put the files or cd in there and do dpkg -i *.deb.
I started downloading Raspbian Jessie by torrent 6 days ago and I'm at 58%.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Actually I'm reasonably happy with what I've got except I'd like to see Mathematica. Back when I was trying to get through calculus 20 years ago we used a similar competing program called MathCAD. Once in a while it would be handy to have something like that although I've got Octave. I buy a $35 computer and it comes with Mathematica? I want to try it.

Quite a few of my workmates are US based, and I'm pretty sure we could get a 32GB card with 'full-fat' jessie to you within a week or so.ab1jx wrote:Actually I'm reasonably happy with what I've got except I'd like to see Mathematica.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
That's OK, I'm at 80%, should finish by the weekend. Thanks though.
Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Finished and passed the SHA. Only 10 days. I'm not sure all the extra connections are wise on a slow connection. It's very aggressive about hogging all the bandwidth, doesn't help that much to reduce the download speed. From my standpoint the only advantage I see over normal FTP is that each piece is checked so once it's done it's really done, but I rarely get a corrupted file over FTP with wget, maybe once a year.
I do hope to do some serious work comparing what debs are installed in the two versions with an eye toward streamlining adding X to Lite.
So, no mc, joe, Lazarus, tcsh, Filezilla, Gimp, Inkscape, rxvt, none of my usuals. Oh well. But very impressive for the size and price.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
This is what's in the full version that isn't in the Lite version. I just wrote a little program to read the output of dpkg-query -l and make 2 tables in an Sqlite database then basically did a "find unmatched" query (SQL copied from MS Access).
That was the easy part, starting with a Lite image on a blank SD and installing just enough to make X work will take longer, with trial and error.
There are 408 debs in Lite, 1147 in the full version, a difference of the 739 below.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
Did you know there is already a how-to topic on that? viewtopic.php?f=66&t=133691
Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
No, I didn't. I figured whoever put the distributions together must have some idea but I've been doing it from scratch. I'm used to doing it in OpenBSD and 20ish years ago Slackware. I was stuck at a color depth of 16 for a while, then something changed that. What I've got now is quite usable, just not the bare minimum.
I should buy a 3-pack of SD cards to play with, and another Pi. I think it's possible to make pseudo-packages that load many packages, preferably by name and not version.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
I've since downloaded both NetBSD and Centos in much less time, like 2 days at most. Minimal images to be sure, but I'm not sure torrents make sense.

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
I installed 'sudo apt-get install raspberry pi-ui-mods'.
But now my screen is black.
If I push serveral times the ALT-F1 button the screen pops up but disapears directly.
What can be wrong?

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
I just found out that I have to set the raspberry pi into read-wirte mode with "rpi-rw". 
Than the screen appears properly.
This succeeded with an external connection (WinSCP).
What can be done that the raspberry automatically is set into read-write mode?

Re: Adding X to Jessie Lite
By its description raspberrypi-ui-mods is "Config to customise the LXDE UI for the Raspberry Pi" so it only affects LXDE. I have it installed but it didn't do anything like turn my screen black. Sounds like maybe a color map issue or you're in 16-bit color mode instead of 24-bit. I gave up on adding X to Lite because I kept having problems like that. It took me over a week to download the full Jessie image but I apt-get update and apt-get upgrade it a couple times a month. I clone the SD card sometimes then I use it in 2 Pi 3Bs and a Zero. Backup is inherent. dpkg-query -l shows about 2600 packages installed.
I don't know what rpi-rw is. Winscp relates to doing file transfers, not the screen. Maybe it's possible to use it as a terminal emulator. My guess would be you need to sudo somewhere, if you're the pi user you're prevented from doing many things that might cause damage.
I have no idea what about the Pi is read-only. A filesystem may mount read-only if there's something wrong with it or the fstab but after the next reboot they normally mount read-write automatically.
