Sobre o Xfce
Xfce é um ambiente de desktop leve para sistemas operacionais UNIX-like. Seu objetivo é ser rápido e consumir poucos recursos do sistema, enquanto ainda é visualmente atraente e amigável.
O Xfce incorpora a filosofia tradicional do UNIX de modularidade e reutilização. Ele consiste de vários componentes que fornecem a funcionalidade completa que se pode esperar de um ambiente de desktop moderno. Eles são empacotados separadamente e você pode escolher entre os pacotes disponíveis para criar o melhor ambiente de trabalho pessoal.
Outra prioridade do Xfce é a aderência à padrões, especialmente aqueles definidos em freedesktop.org. [About XFCE]
Installation
Before emerging Xfce you need to:
Check that you have enabled the USE flags necessary for a XFCE desktop environment. Set your profile to "xfce" via mix-ins, as follows:
root # epro mix-ins +xfce
Then, verify that you have the X.Org Server configured properly. If X.Org is installed on your system, you are now ready to install Xfce. Install the meta-package, which pulls in all of the components you need for a minimal Xfce installation:
root # emerge -auDN @world root # emerge xfce4-meta
Running Xfce
There are several different ways to start Xfce:
- Editing the
.xinitrc
file in your user's home directory and usingstartx
from a text console. - Using a display manager (e.g. SLiM, GDM, and KDM).
- Configuring your shell profile to automatically start Xfce upon a successful login.
.xinitrc
The most common way to start the environment is to configure ~/.xinitrc
to launch an Xfce session. The proper way to launch Xfce from the terminal is by using startxfce4
combined with ck-launch-session
.
user $ echo "exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch" > ~/.xinitrc
Note that --with-ck-launch
(from ConsoleKit) is required by Xfce for important tasks such as shutting down, suspending, and automatically mounting removable storage media. Some applications will not work properly without it. Also, configuring the GTK+ theme and other forms of theming through No results do not often work without the --with-ck-launch
command line option. Because we are launching XFCE with a consolekit command line option, we need to add ConsoleKit to the default
runlevel, executing the following command as root:
root # rc-update add consolekit default root # rc
Finally, to start the graphical environment, run startx
from a login shell:
user $ startx
After running this command, you should be greeted by your shiny new XFCE desktop. For more information about configuring XFCE and some of the default applications that come with it, consider looking at XFCE configuration and XFCE applications.
Display Manager
A display manager is a program that manages sessions and acts as a login screen. Here's a short list of a few of the display managers available from the Funtoo repositories:
- XDM (
x11-apps/xdm
): X.Org's standard display manager. - LightDM (
x11-misc/lightdm
): A lightweight, but highly configurable display manager. - SLiM (
x11-misc/slim
): Simple Login Manager -- a lightweight display manager. Not very configurable.
Any of these would make a fine choice. After you've chosen which display manager to use, install it:
root # emerge <display manager of choice>
All that's left to do now is to add the name of the display manager to /etc/conf.d/xdm
, add the xdm
service and the dbus
service to the default
runlevel, and start the services:
/etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="<display manager name>"
root # rc-update add xdm default root # rc-update add dbus default root # rc
Power Group
If you wish to be able to shutdown/reboot/suspend/hibernate using xfce4-logout-session then you will need to add yourself or the user to the power group by:
root # gpasswd -a <username> power
If the group does not exist then execute the following and try again:
root # groupadd power
