Alpine OPENBOX desktop setup: FF version

===========================================================

Alpine must be previously installed. For a WAYLAND crap desktop check alpine-tutorial-desktop-wayland-try.md. For XFCE4 check alpine-tutorial-desktop-xfce4-fast-forward.md

preparation Xfce4 Alpine

YOU MUST HAVE DIRECT WIRED INTERNET, if not ask for an ISO from VenenuX: https://t.me/alpine_linux/762

How to use this guide

This guide structure all the commands in blocks, each block its separated by a line spaced, so you must type each line as is.. and hit enter, so you noted that then you typed each separated clocks of commands, copy/type only blocks separated by an empty line, all new(next) lines are made by just enter. the terminal will detect if must execute or not.

If you have another computer or gui, try to use SSH client like putty or just in terminal (MAC or Linux) do:

  1. at the Alpine installation: sed -i 's|.*PermitRootLogin.*|PermitRootLogin yes|g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config;service sshd restart
  2. at the other OS just connect: ssh -l root <ip> change "<ip>" with the address of your device.
  3. copy each separated by empty line, block of command, copy only blocks separate by empty line
  4. and paste each separated by empty line block in the remnote (ssh), do not paste all the blocks at same time!

Warning

Some Linux or/and Mac terminals have security cut/paste locks, so if you paste, the first line will be preceded by garbage, check always the first char of your paste.

Warning

after finish, rerun: sed -i -r 's|.*PermitRootLogin.*|PermitRootLogin no|g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh service sshd restart becouse security implications.

hardware used

item minimal feature Extra recommendations
RAM MB 1Gb DDR1 6Gb DDR3, web browsers consumes so much
CPU intel Dual Core Not necesary
RAM CPU 2Mb (L2) 4kb/L1
GPU intel G41 Radeon X1200 For web browsers and modern apps will be need
RAM GPU 256Mb 1Gb For web browsers and modern apps will be need
Storage 120Gb HDD WD 256Gb SSD are mandatory for speed
ARCH 32bits (i386/arm6) 64bits (amd64) mandatory for most modern apps unfortunatelly
Audio AC 97 HD audio and HDMI audio are a mess
