Welcome to BananianX

The goal of this script is to provide an easy solution to install a graphical user interface (GUI) on Bananian (LightDM and xfce4), a special Linux Distro for the Banana Pi board.

Since Bananian has been abandoned and not many people were actually interested in my project, this BananianX is no longer actively developed. While it should work on the last version of Bananian (and probably many other Debian based distributions), I discourage anybody from using it. Bananian and BananianX don't get updates anymore and could have critical bugs including security issues. Feel free to update and fork the BananianX repo. If you do so, I would be very happy about an issue opened on GitHub with a link (and a short explanation) to your changes. If you do so, your changes might have a chance to be merged into the official repo.

Versions

There are 2 Versions of BananianX. BananianX FULL and BananianX LIGHT.

  1. BananianX LIGHT: Installs only the most important packets. Doesn´t take as long to install as BananianX FULL. Uses less disk space.
  2. BananianX FULL: Installs more features, installation takes longer, more disk space used. If there are missing packets, please raise an issue on GitHub.

README

BananianX is not actively developed. So it might not work as expected.
