Mini-Tutorial to get a linux Desktop GUI working on Pine64+

[Logan5]

Boot happens fairly quickly, and the login is directly after the verbose output from the boot process. The username is: pine64 and Password is: pine64linux, once logged in run 

Code:

sudo ifconfig

Which will spit out your network info, make sure your network is up by running

Code:

sudo ping www.pine64.org

This should give you a response from the website, also there will be a very easy to notice message stating that your network is UP.
Now you need to change to the root directory I ran

Code:

sudo -s

This will ask for the root password which is pine64root, you will know you're in root from the text color change to red indicating you're in the root level. From here run:

Code:

resize_rootfs.sh

This lets you use the full sd card capacity.

Now this is a linux distro, however there are minor differences in commands, and programs that install software compared to ubuntu, or debian. 
The Desktop GUI is called KDE, and the install program is called zypper, which was included in the image, so now you need to  install KDE by running this

Code:

zypper install -t pattern kde kde_plasma

This will take a while, like a couple hours, I let it run over night. Once it has finished, reboot your pine64, and on the next boot, yu will now have a GUI desktop!!!!!! If you run into problems during the first install, as I did try to reboot. If you do not get any type of monitor output, then power off your pine, remove the sdcard, and put it into your card reader on a windows machine, you will be able to fix the disk without removing anything. Now you are ready to try again, this time the install should work fine.
There you go a smooth running Desktop on your Pine64+!!!!!
Any questions, please ask as I will try my best to help.

I wrote this image to my EVO 32gb micro SD and it booted straight up. I then logged in with username= pine64 and PW=pine64linux no problem. then I type "sudo ifconfig" and it ask for root PW. I have entered, PW's pine64, pine64linux and root, but still password incorrect. Am I again missing something? Can not go further until this root PW issue is resolved. Thanks in advance

Ok, I found "pine64root" as root PW, setting up KDE now.
