It isn’t as simple as it first looks, if there’s an easier way I would be interested, spent a while yesterday setting it up, instructions below for anybody interested.
I don’t think just installing the browser is enough, from my experience you need to get the necessary startx and gui files in place as well.
I have updated and rebooted through process quite a few times - not sure if necessary but it worked.
I have used an 8gb card with musicbox 0.7rc4 installed - I may have fitted on 4gb but didn’t want to run out of space.
I haven’t changed the graphics memory and am starting the graphic interface by using startx at the prompt.
It’s not recommended to use a browser as root (Chromium, my choice of browser displays error message) so you need a new user.
This is all done via SSH
log in as root/musicbox
sudo apt-get update
Set up new user with sudo privileges
sudo adduser _username_
Password (Twice)
For sudo privileges
sudo visudo
go down to
root ALL
and enter your username and
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
Save with CTRL+O, then CTRL+X
Log in as new sudo user
Follow this page for your choice of GUI and installing x. I started from Part 2 - Bring in the furniture.
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg
As lightdm showed error message on install I also installed
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xinit
Choose your preferred GUI, I went for LXDE as PIXEL didn’t work very well.
sudo apt-get install lxde-core lxappearance
sudo apt-get update and reboot, log in as user.
Try again with lightdm - but it appears to work without it.
sudo apt-get install lightdm
Sudo Reboot & login as user again
Install browser - I went for chromium
sudo apt-get install chromium
Reboot
Go to terminal, log in as user, then startx desktop appears choose your browser from list and try to open musicbox.local or the ip address. It didn’t work straight away and I think I finally had to use 192.168.0.7:6680 before it found it.
