i think you want to go to
/usr/local/sbin and look for the install destop script
cd /usr/local/sbin
sudo install_desktop.sh * [* being the desktop to install]
actually i'm drawing this from memory , cause i use armbian , and it may need some correction.

On the command line just try 'startx' and that should start the xorg and get you a desktop
RE: HELP I want install a desktop but I don't Know how can I do - gedas07 - 08-27-2018
Thanks , if i installed gnome then works perfect , i think without startx,
But i think that is too slow desktop for rock64
But when i installed gnome i can choose desktop
But i want only install one desktop like lxde or lxqt
If i write startx doesn’t start there are a error
Now i try the script install_desktop In a new installation that i don’t know that exist
Another solution?
RE: HELP I want install a desktop but I don't Know how can I do - gedas07 - 08-27-2018
I try with new instalation
after startx
Code:
rock64@rock64:~$ startx

the answer is : Usage: /usr/local/sbin/install_desktop.sh <mate|i3|gnome|xfce4|lxde>
and then i wrote
sudo /usr/local/sbin/install_desktop.sh lxde
and the answer

Any idea?

You have to purge 'libegl1-mesa' and all it's dependencies, then you can properly run the script.
'libmali-rk-utgard-450-r7p0' contains the proprietary drivers for proper 3D acceleration.
-- EDIT --
I think it's easier for you to re-flash the image on your drive and install a desktop environment trough the 'install_desktop.sh' script. Pass your favourite DE as argument.
Also use one of the ayufan's Bionic 0.7.9 build. Ther's one with LXDE + media player with HW acceleration preinstalled. Or if you want to start from scratch, take the minimal build and run the script above.
You can find the builds here: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases

thanks ,
i try with the script install_desktop.sh with LXDE in the end of the comand , but i don't know if is correct. with a new minimal image of xenial
But don't works i have got the error of libmali
I installed perfect the version with desktop, But i want to learn new things . And i want to learn how can i install desktop in minimal versions
and for the last
I want a xenial image , because i want to put in this server, tvheadend, plex media server , oscam, udpxy, and i think that remember that oscam don't work in Bionic

Why not dockerize all those servers and use any base OS you like more? as i see you need some media services maybe libreelec fits as a base "OS"...dockerizing stuff you can use any base including any of the ayufan (headless or not) or armbian...

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-oscam-armhf
the one for oscam im not 100% sure it will work on the rock64, but afaik its not hard to compile on a new architecture...docker nowadays give you a LOT of flexibility...just a suggestion...
I see also that there is plex, tvheadend and oscam addons for kodi, you can also try the librelec rock64 image from
https://test.libreelec.tv/
its in alpha but the last time i tested it it was stable with only some video artifacts/glitches...

Thanks for your answer.
But , sorry i don’t know how is dockers?
I’m learning Linux
And oscam works correctly and perfect with Xenia
But don’t works with bionic
And i prefer debian or ubuntu then libreelec
I have four raspberry with OSMC (libreeelec)
And one Pc with oscam, tvheadend etc with debían
And want prepare rock64 for substitute the Pc
Ah in debían i don’t know how can install tvheadend , i have a post with my problems

As you are willing to learn new things i strongly suggest to read how docker works, imo its perfect for newbies like you and me, to give you a basic idea of what docker do its a light virtualization interface, basically you have a trimmed down OS wrapped on every docker, this removes the hassle of installing dependencies and incompatibilityes when setting up so basically you simply install docker and then with a simple command the docker server downloads your image of choice (remember that the image includes a trimmed down os and all dependencies and your application of choice (this all sounds cumbersome but its a trimmed down OS, usually taking about 50-100mb of disk space and even less on memory)) and with another command you both run it and its allready set up as a service runing on every boot (if you want it to) so basically:
command one - install docker (you run this once per OS install)
command two - download the correct docker image for your architecture (aarch64 for rock64, some armhf also work fine)
command three- run the docker image and set it up as service if needed or start/stop it manually when needed
repeat 2 and 3 with new servers
the biggest advantage ive found when using docker is that it is super newbie friendly, you dont need complex setup, no txt editing, no dependencies problems, just 2 commands and the server you need is runing and you dont need to learn a different install method for each server, just a few basic docker commands for any of them...
And you can also learn it to use it on your osmc setups or over raspbian or over allmost all dev boards on the market nowadays...
Taking as example your tvheadend problem, there is a specific image for aarch64 (the exact one you need for the rock64) here, check the usage section, thats basically all you need to "install" the image, after that you simply do a "docker start nameoftheimage"
