![]() ![]() Note: If you're also connected to the internet by network (ethernet) cable: disconnect the ethernet cable, because otherwise the two simultaneous connections might interfere with each other.Ĥ.8. Now you should be able to connect to a wireless network, by clicking on the icon of Network Manager in the system tray. Execute the following terminal command, in order to remove the offending packages: So do this, in order to make Network Manager behave correctly right away:Ī. it would wrongly say that your wireless chipset is inactive.ĭon't worry about the packages that you're going to remove: they're superfluous now and aren't even installed by default in the closely related relatives Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Because if you wouldn't do that, Network Manager would (after the next reboot) show up OK with a nice icon in the system tray of the desktop panel, but. Now you need to remove some packages in order to make Network Manager work properly. Sudo apt-get install synaptic gdebi ufw inxi baobab mousepad abiword gnome-logs network-manager-gnome package-update-indicator file-roller vlc photoflare epiphany-browser catfish xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin thunar-archive-plugin shotwell gnumeric gnome-calculator xpad xfce4-power-manager xfce4-screenshooterĤ.7. Then you're going to install a couple of must-have applications:Ĭopy/paste the following command line into the terminal (it's just one long line, don't chop it up): ![]() Now launch Firefox on the Raspberry, and go to this web page (so that from now on, you can copy/paste terminal commands into the terminal, which is much easier and prevents typos).Ĥ.6. Then you're going to install the long term supported edition of web browser Firefox: This time, you should be able to log in by means of a nice graphical login window.Ĥ.5. Then you install the graphical desktop environment Xfce (lightweight yet full-featured): Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get dist-upgradeĤ.2. Then: S1 Wireless LAN - select your country by means of the arrow keys - SSID: fill out the name of your wireless network - enter its passphrase (password) - Reboot.Ĥ. Then hit the Tab key in order to activate the "button". Or establish a wireless connection like this: If you haven't established internet connection yet as described above, now establish a temporary internet connection by means of a network cable (ethernet). When you haven't changed it, the default login name is: piģ. ![]() When the boot process clearly has come to a halt, the moment has probably arrived that you can log in. Because after the login prompt has appeared, there'll still follow a lot of lines from the boot sequence (sigh.). Note: it's rather unclear when you can log in. Click on the "button" SAVE and then on the "button" WRITE.Ģ.3. Why oh why was this option enabled by default in the first place?Į. Reason: telemetry is nearly always bad for your privacy. Because by doing so, you also regulate the number of available wireless channels for your WiFi. Also -and this is important!- select your Wifi country. The username shouldn't contain capital letters!įill out the name of your wireless network and its password. Image customization options - set that to: to always useĬompose your own username and password. In the dialogue window that appears, make these choices:Ī. Note: Before you click on the "button" WRITE, I recommend to click first on the small gear wheel below on the right. Then you put that on a micro SD card, by means of the official tool "Imager" of the Raspberry Pi (CHOOSE OS - Use custom). In this way, you prevent "pollution" of your system by (remnants of) PIXEL.Ģ.2. That's important, because you're going to install a totally different desktop environment than the default PIXEL. The Lite edition is essentially Debian 11 stripped bare it doesn't even have a graphical desktop environment. First download the official 64-bit edition of Raspberry Pi OS Lite, so not the Desktop edition. The clearest and easiest way to download and install is this:Ģ.1. The oldest editions of the Raspberry Pi are 32-bit, which makes them unfit for this how-to.Ģ. This how-to is written based on my experience with the Raspberry Pi 400 with 4 GB RAM, which is 64-bit hardware. Xfce looks nicer, is more user-friendly and is more full-fledged than PIXEL (LXDE). But you can also install the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite as base, and use it to create a "mean and lean" Xfce desktop on your computer (with your own set of installed applications). Raspberry Pi OS Desktop features the austere lightweight PIXEL desktop (actually a modified LXDE). ![]()
