Hi.

I tried to search the forum but it seems I put wrong search words...

How should I install the display so I can run Geany (IDE)?

 

Here is my data

I made this:

As explained in "How to upgrade into simple desktop environment?"

 

apt-get -y install xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme

reboot

 

However I haven't seen any changes...

I run startx, the process started but also nothing changed...

What are my mistakes?

Thanks!

Those upgrade instructions are generic and outdated. The best would be that you start with a desktop version since it's already optimized and ... working.

Thanks! I tested the desktop version. It works ))

However when I connect with SSH client and give startx, I can't see it (desktop) in the SSH client. Is it possible to see it in the client at all?

Of course not. You need a RDP, VNC or similar to run remote desktop but it is possible to engage a desktop remotely, yes.

Connecting from a Linux system you can use: 

ssh -X user@ip_address

and then launch the app, for example: 

geany &

See this video to see how this thing works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYhxqWmQqNE

 

If you connect from a Mac or Windows is a good idea install XRDP and connect by Microsoft remote desktop (from Mac store) or included in Windows:

sudo apt-get install xrdp tightvncserver

Just for fun - there is still something like this:

But I'm pretty sure this is not useful to OP.
