I’ve got 7" LCD touchscreen, and I want my Pi to boot into Astro GUI.
How I can do that?
Currently I’m only accessing the Pi by using the laptop and the Pi just displaying the text terminal.
I want full control on the printer by the Astro GUI on the LCD.
Thanks
You’ll need to install X as AstroPrint doesn’t already have it in it’s image.
sudo apt-get install lxde
sudo apt-get install lightdm
sudo apt-get install xinit
From there you can find and use any of the Debian/Raspi auto login guides out there if sudo rasp-config doesn’t do it for you. You’ll need to do the above to get started.
@jtpowell I’ve tried the steps, and I run'sudo raspi-config' -> 'Boot Options' -> 'Desktop / CLI ' -> 'B4 Desktop Autologin Desktop GUI' -> rebooted.
nothing happened it just auto loggedin into terminal.

Yes I followed all the steps but nothing happened

Im getting this:
pi@3DPrinterAstro:~ $ startx
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: 3: exec: /usr/bin/X: not found
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
pi@3DPrinterAstro:~ $Not everything got installed. Try to rerun the commands above. If no luck Google reinstall X Raspberry Pi to find a guide that has all the requisites.
