Install MATE Desktop
setup-xorg-base apk add dbus-x11
Now let us install a bunch of needed packages what includes all MATE Desktop packages avaliable in our Edge repository:
apk add desktop-file-utils gtk-engines consolekit gtk-murrine-engine caja caja-extensions marco dbus lxdm udev hicolor-icon-theme sudo mate_pkgs=$(apk search mate -q | grep -v '\-dev' | grep -v '\-lang' | grep -v '\-doc') apk add $mate_pkgs
In the next step we add some services to start up with the operating system:
rc-update add lxdm rc-update add dbus rc-update add udev
We will start D-Bus before other services in order to fix D-Bus configuration file (replace the hard coded 'system_bus_socket' path): Starting D-Bus: rc-service dbus start
Fixing the D-Bus configuration file:
dbus_sock_path=$(find / -name system_bus_socket) dbus_sock_path=$(echo $dbus_sock_path | sed 's/\//\\&/g') sed -i 's/\/var\/run\/dbus\/system_bus_socket/'$dbus_sock_path'/' /etc/dbus-1/system.conf
apk del mate-screensaver ln -s /usr/etc/xdg/menus/ /etc/xdg/menus apk add mate-screensaver}}
Adding avaliables True Type Fonts:
ttfs=$(apk search -q ttf- | grep -v '\-doc') apk add $ttfs
Configure lxdm with autologin:
nano /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf autologin=yourusername session=/usr/bin/mate-session skip_password=1
And finally, let us start the lxdm service and log in to our MATE Desktop
rc-service lxdm start
