Is it possible to install a GUI in TermuxAlpine? #12
Comments
Yes it is very possible. The script setup-termux-alpine-gui.sh demonstrates one way to run X apps and Java 8 apps under TermuxAlpine. Hope that helps. |
An alternative would be to use the xfce setup file by Andronix. This repo hosts a more recent version of Alpine compared to Andronix, and it is easier to uninstall/reconfigure Alpine with this repo. |
I have been trying the instructions on Alpine's WIKI trying to get a working GUI but can't seem to find the magic. Xorg, X11VNC and my preferred.. xRDP are not able to be started correctly. The simplest X11 export DISPLAY=0 or any variation commands fail. xRDP launches and logs in but can't reach a desktop (MATE) or gui app directly.
It seems since rc-service is not started due to proot config some functions just won't start or nest correctly.
There are 2 other details I ran into with the package.
I would love to use this for the few linux apps there are not android ports for. I don't really care about a full linux desktop on Android x86_64. (Running PrimeOS)For now , I have Android Studio, Serviio Media Server running fine on Proot Ubuntu.. AQEMU qemu front end running well on termux directly..VirtualBox is the only other target left I don't have a good android port for already..
i really like the footprint (size) of Alpine if the x11 support was just a little more do-able..
Thanks!!
