Jessie Lite does not include a Desktop Environment, it is Command Line only..

You can probably get a basic desktop running on Raspbian Lite by installing raspberrypi-ui-mods.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install raspberrypi-ui-mods
This will install the software needed for the desktop without installing all the extras that the standard Raspbian image includes.

You'll probably need to reboot after installing that and configure the Pi to boot to desktop, and you may need to install additional software depending on what you require.

after these two lines
lxsession will work right
