NEWS 181022
I’ve made an extra version of RaspEX LXDE. RaspEX Build 181022 uses a 64 bit kernel – 4.14.76-v8+. You can very easy switch back to the original 32 bit kernel (4.14.74-v7+) if you don’t find the 64 bit kernel useful. Since the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and B+ only have 1GB RAM it’s perhaps useless to run a 64 bit kernel, but who knows…

First things to do after installing RaspEX Build 181022
1. You won’t be automatically logged in to LXDE because the system is “full” (100 %). Log in to LXDE from Slim’s login page as root with password root.
2. Start up a terminal and run the command sh resize_rootfs.sh. Before that you can’t do anything because the system is full as this screenshot shows. After that all the space on the SD card will be used. Everything will be alright then.
3. Run the command dphys-swapfile setup
A SWAP file of 2 GB will be created. Then run the command dphys-swapfile swapon. Very useful if you want to run many programs at the same time.
When you have done step 1 – 3 you can use RaspEX Build 181022 in the same way as Build 181015. If you (for some reason) don’t like the 64 bit kernel (4.14.76-v8+) you can very easy change back to the original 32 bit kernel. Just edit /boot/config.txt to look like this (in relevant parts) and reboot your Raspberry Pi.

Another good thing is that Ubuntu 18.10 now has been released in a stable version. All packages in RaspEX Build 181022 are (of course) in latest version as of 181022.
andex.exton.net – latest is AndEX Pie 9.0 (without GAPPS) and AndEX Oreo 8.1 (with GAPPS)!
and about my Pie, Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow and Lollipop versions for Raspberry Pi 3/2 at
raspex.exton.se – latest is RaspAnd Pie 9.0 (without GAPPS) and RaspAnd Oreo 8.1 (with GAPPS)!
This looks very promising. Is it possible that after the system boots for the first time I connect directly through ssh from a remote client? I am able to see the IP after the system boots but not sure what username and password to use to login through ssh. Using username root and password root doesnt work. Thanks for your help.

Failed to execute login command <3 perfect !
Two sd card two rpi etcher win32 nothing work.
You have done something wrong. I don’t know what. Do the installation on a Windows computer. Or in Linux.
Thanks works like a dream
I uninstalled RealVNC, how can I reinstall it again? Thanks
Do it via Synaptic or have your tried that already?
I’m unable to resize rootfs.sh
Why?
Just run the command sudo sh /root/resize_rootfs.sh
Nothing more to do.
