  1. How to start the desktop environment

In order to start you need to run the following commands from the generated.x86 folder:

./src/apps/testharness/clean_shm.sh
./generated.x86/src/servers/registrar/registrar > registrar.out &
sleep 1
./generated.x86/src/servers/app/app_server > app_server.out &
sleep 2
../generated.x86/src/servers/input/input_server > input_server.out &
sleep 1 
./generated.x86/src/apps/deskbar/Deskbar > deskbar.out &
  1. app_server quit with the following message: could not inizialize font manager

This means that the app_server can't find the fonts. If you have them make sure to copy the fonts folder in /os/system/data

  1. I tried to start it but when i launch it i just get the background and it quit immediately after

That is normal, and even if it looks like that it has quitted, it is not true, and is running correctly.
