i just installed dietpi on my raspberry pi 3b and when i type the startx command it says that command doesnt exist
i dont know what i did wrong.
every help is welcome
You need to install a desktop. Just open dietpi-software and select the one you like from search menu.
ok i think i did imma check it later i will say it if it worked
thanks for your fast respond. 
It can be easily checked like this
dietpi-software list | grep " =2 "
I chosen LXQt lightweight desktop
Did you selected it as desktop preference or vie search function and actually hit install as well? Does it show up on the command I posted above? Did you try to select it as autostart option? Usually this question should have been ask after installation completed
yes but somehow it said that there where no changes detected but after quiting the changes are still saved
and somehow i cant type the: | if i do this will apear: ~
am not good at reading english so if possible a few photos help
Pls share output of following command
dietpi-software list | grep " =2 "
An idea how to resolve the preference menu confusion: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5223
so do i have to change dietpi.txt?
for the first step, pls can you simply share output of
dietpi-software list | grep " =2 "
yeah ik know but the code u wrote to me: dietpi-software list | grep " =2 " for some reason the | icon doesnt work on my keyboard and other icon keys are switched and some doesn’t exist
i have currently runner raspberian os on it as a backup for it until i fixed it
the | icon doesnt work on my keyboard and other icon keys are switched
In general have a look to dietpi-config to change keyboard layout. Or do you connect via SSH? If using SSH, simply copy/past the command
ok found it the writing did not go well thats why
thanks for your fast respond i hope i dont have to create hire a post again 
does your issue has been fixed and could be marked as solved?
yes its solved
