<uri link="http://www.xfce.org">Xfce</uri> is a fast, lightweight desktop |
32 |
|
|
environment for Unix-like operating systems. It is designed for productivity, |
33 |
|
|
and is quite configurable while still adhering to the <uri |
34 |
|
|
link="http://www.freedesktop.org">Freedesktop</uri> specifications. |

Unlike heavier desktop environments, such as Gnome and KDE, Xfce uses far fewer |
39 |
|
|
system resources. Additionally, it offers greater modularity and fewer |
40 |
|
|
dependencies; it takes up less space on your hard disk and takes less time to |
41 |
|
|
install. |

This guide will not only show you how to install and configure a minimal Xfce |
46 |
|
|
environment, but will also explore options to create a full-featured desktop in |
47 |
|
|
keeping with the Xfce philosophy: light, fast, and modular. |

First, make sure you've setup Xorg as shown in the <uri |
67 |
|
|

Next, double-check your USE flags in <path>/etc/make.conf</path>; you'll |
72 |
nightmorph |

probably at least want <c>USE="-gnome -kde -qt3 -qt4 X dbus hal startup-notification xscreensaver"</c>. |

Congratulations, and welcome to your new Xfce desktop environment. Go ahead, |

explore it a bit. Then continue reading to learn how you can configure Xfce to |
142 |
|
|
suit your needs. |

You might notice right-clicking on the desktop shows you the menu of all your |
153 |
|
|
applications. It's useful, but your desktop can easily be completely obscured by |
154 |
|
|
open windows, making it hard to to launch a new program. So, one of the first |
155 |
|
|
things you may wish to do is give yourself a handy application menu on your |
156 |
|
|
panel. Right click on this panel, and choose "Add New Item". Scroll through the |
157 |
|
|
list of choices and select "Xfce Menu". You can choose where you want it to be |
158 |
|
|
displayed on your panel. When clicked, it displays the application/preferences |
159 |
|
|
menu, providing a nicely categorized list of your installed programs. |

If you've installed (or plan to install) popular Gnome or KDE applications such |
170 |
|
|
as <c>k3b</c>, <c>nautilus</c>, <c>kmail</c>, <c>evolution</c>, etc. then you |
171 |
|
|
should make sure that Xfce launches the appropriate services for these at |
172 |
|
|
startup. Navigate to Menu --> Settings --> Sessions & Startup. On the |
173 |
|
|
"Advanced" tab, select the appropriate checkbox. This might slightly increase |
174 |
|
|
Xfce startup times, but it decreases load times for KDE and Gnome applications. |
175 |
|
|
</p> |
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
|
|
<p> |
178 |
|
|
Xfce has the ability to save your session settings and running programs from the |
179 |
|
|
"General" tab in the Sessions & Startup menu. They can be automatically |
180 |
|
|
saved when you logout, or Xfce can ask you each time. This feature is |
181 |
|
|
particularly useful for undoing configuration mistakes. Accidentally killed a |
182 |
|
|
panel? Just select "No" when prompted to save your current session, and the next |
183 |
|
|
time you start Xfce, your old desktop is restored. Want to automatically launch |
184 |
|
|
your open webbrowser, terminal, and email client the next time you login? Just |
185 |
|
|
save your session before logging out. |

In this chapter, we'll discuss some useful plugins and applications for everyday |

|
|
use within Xfce. |

There are many plugins for the panel available in Portage; see for yourself with |
210 |
|
|
<c>emerge --search xfce</c>. Though for the most part their names are self |
211 |
|
|
explanatory, a few deserve some attention, as they are quite helpful. To use |
212 |
|
|
them, simply <c>emerge</c> them. They'll be added to the list of available items |
213 |
nightmorph |
1.4 |
in the "Add New Item" menu shown when you right-click on the panel. |
214 |

216 |
|
|
<ul> |
217 |
|
|
<li> |
218 |
|
|
<c>xfce4-mount</c> gives you a handy method of mounting devices listed in |
219 |
|
|
<path>/etc/fstab</path> just by clicking your mouse |
220 |
|
|
</li> |
221 |
|
|
<li> |
222 |
|
|
<c>xfce4-battery</c> is perfect for laptop users. It displays battery |
223 |
|
|
percentage, time remaining, power source (AC or battery), fan status, |
224 |
|
|
warnings, and can even be configured to execute commands at certain power |
225 |
|
|
levels. This feature can be used to put the laptop into hibernate mode when |
226 |
|
|
the battery is almost exhausted. |
227 |
|
|
</li> |
228 |
|
|
<li> |
229 |
nightmorph |
1.4 |
<c>verve</c> is a small command line embedded into the panel. It's quicker |
230 |
|
|
than opening up another terminal when you want to run a command. |
231 |
|
|
</li> |
232 |
|
|
<li> |
233 |
|
|
<c>xfce4-mixer</c> is a volume control. It works with both ALSA and OSS |
234 |
|
|
sound applications. |
235 |

239 |

|
If you can't find what you're looking for in the plugins specifically made for |
240 |
|
|
Xfce, try searching through the list of Gnome panel applets! That's right, by |
241 |
|
|
first emerging <c>xfce4-xfapplet</c>, you can install and run any applet made |
242 |
|
|
for Gnome. |

Xfce bundles a few useful applications, including <c>thunar</c>, |
253 |
|
|
<c>terminal</c>, <c>orage</c>, and <c>mousepad</c>. Note that the last three |
254 |
|
|
will not be installed if you built <c>xfce4</c> with the <c>minimal</c> USE |
255 |
|
|
flag. However, these are all very small, yet terrific applications, so they're |
256 |
|
|
well worth installing. |

<c>orage</c> is a simple, handy calendar. <c>mousepad</c> is a barebones text |
261 |
|
|
editor that starts up extremely quickly. <c>terminal</c> is far more |
262 |
|
|
configurable and useful than xterm, and supports Unicode text, |
263 |
|
|
pseudo-transparency and accelerated transparency via Xfce's built-in |
264 |
|
|
compositor, all out-of-the-box. Just make sure that the default action on the |
265 |
|
|
terminal launcher of your panel runs <path>/usr/bin/Terminal</path> instead of |
266 |
|
|
xterm. Right click the launcher and choose "Properties" to change the command. |

<c>thunar</c> is Xfce's built-in graphical file manager. It's fast yet quite |
271 |
|
|
powerful, can support a few plugins for even more functionality; just install |
272 |
|

them with <c>emerge</c>. Let's take a look: |

in keeping with Xfce's philosophy. |

Though <c>mousepad</c> is nice enough, if you need a full-featured word |
308 |
|
|
processor but don't want the bloat of OpenOffice, try emerging <c>abiword</c>. |
309 |
|
|
<uri link="http://www.abisource.com">AbiWord</uri> is lighter, faster, and is |

Need a nice email client/newsreader that isn't as demanding as |

For your internet chat needs, <c>irssi</c> is an excellent, tiny, incredibly |
324 |

|
configurable IRC client that runs in your terminal. If you prefer a compact |
325 |

<c>emerge pidgin</c>. |

If you need movie and music players, look no further than <c>mplayer</c> and |
331 |
|
|
<c>audacious</c>. They can play most every media format available quite nicely, |
332 |
|
|
and have a wealth of additional plugins available for additional functionality. |

|
Finally, you'll need a webbrowser. Nearly all graphical webbrowsers require more |
337 |
|
|
resources than most of your other desktop applications. Still, |
338 |
|
|
<c>mozilla-firefox</c> (or <c>mozilla-firefox-bin</c>) is always a good choice. |
339 |
|
|
Alternatively, you may find <c>opera</c> to be quite fast. However, <c>opera</c> |
340 |
|
|
is not available on as many processor architectures as <c>mozilla-firefox</c>, |
341 |
|
|
and it has more dependencies unless you override them with a USE flag. |

Now that we've explored some good suggestions for rounding out your desktop |
354 |
|
|
applications, let's see what else we can do to enhance your Xfce experience. |

<p> |
364 |
|
|
Remember when we added <c>startxfce4</c> to our <path>~/.xinitrc</path>? All you |
365 |
|
|
have to do to get into your desktop is type <c>startx</c> after logging in. This |
366 |
|
|
is fine if you prefer a completely text-based boot and login, but let's use a |
367 |
|
|
display manager that will automatically start Xfce after booting (so that you |
368 |
|
|
can login graphically). |
369 |
|
|
</p> |
370 |
|
|
|
371 |
|
|
<p> |
372 |
|
|
First, let's make sure Xfce loads at boot: |
373 |
|
|
</p> |
374 |
|
|
|
375 |
|
|
<pre caption="Adding xdm to the default runlevel"> |

</pre> |
378 |
|
|
|
379 |
|
|
<p> |
380 |
|
|
We aren't quite finished yet. We have to pick a display manager and set the |
381 |
|
|
appropriate variable. Though there are a few choices available in Portage, for |
382 |
|
|
this guide, we'll stick with two display manager options: <c>xdm</c> and |
383 |
|
|
<c>gdm</c>. |
384 |
|
|
</p> |
385 |
|
|
|
386 |
|
|
<p> |
387 |
|
|
<c>xdm</c> is speedy and lightweight, but it isn't pretty, and isn't really |
388 |
|
|
customizable. If you'd like to use it, first <c>emerge</c> it: |
389 |
|
|
</p> |
390 |
|
|
|
391 |
|
|
<pre caption="Installing XDM"> |
392 |

# <i>emerge -avt xdm</i> |
393 |
|
|
</pre> |
394 |
|
|
|
395 |
|
|
<p> |
396 |
|
|
Then edit the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in <path>/etc/conf.d/xdm</path>: |
397 |
|
|
</p> |
398 |
|
|
|
399 |
|

<pre caption="Editing /etc/conf.d/xdm"> |

402 |

|
|
403 |
|
|
<p> |
404 |
nightmorph |

<c>xdm</c> can automatically start your Xfce session if you add XSESSION="Xfce4" |
405 |
|
|
to <path>/etc/rc.conf</path>. |
406 |
|
|
</p> |
407 |
|
|
|
408 |
|
|
<p> |
409 |
nightmorph |
1.1 |
While you can choose to stick with (the rather ugly) <c>xdm</c>, why not try |
410 |
|
|
<c>gdm</c> instead? It's far more configurable, and much, much prettier. First, |
411 |
|
|
let's <c>emerge</c> it. Note that though it has a few dependencies, they're |
412 |
|
|
small, and they're not as nearly as numerous as other display managers. |
413 |
|
|

|
|
<p> |
420 |

Next, change the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to use <c>gdm</c> instead of |
421 |
|
|
<c>xdm</c>: |

A little customization of your desktop's appearance can go a long way. Xfce has |
436 |
|
|
all the options you'd expect from a modern desktop environment, font |
437 |
|
|
antialiasing settings, color schemes, dozens of window decorations, themes, and |
438 |
|
|
more. If these aren't enough, it's easy to install third-party themes, icon |
439 |
|
|
sets, mouse cursor themes, and wallpapers. |

A selection of nice Gentoo wallpapers in a variety of resolutions are hosted on |
444 |
nightmorph |
1.2 |
the <uri link="/main/en/graphics.xml">Gentoo website</uri>. If you're looking |
445 |
|
|
for icon sets and complete Xfce themes, <uri |
446 |
nightmorph |
1.1 |
link="http://www.xfce-look.org/">Xfce-Look</uri> has a huge collection. The |
447 |
|
|
important thing to remember about any third-party eyecandy you download is that |
448 |
|
|
it will usually first need to be unpacked and then installed to the proper |
449 |
|
|
directory. Icon sets go in <path>/usr/share/icons/</path>, and themes go to |
450 |
nightmorph |
1.2 |
<path>/usr/share/themes/</path>; use these directories when you want all users |
451 |
|
|
to be able to access themes and icon sets. Individual users can install themes |
452 |
|
|
and icon sets to <path>~/.themes/</path> and <path>~/.icons/</path>. |

If you installed GDM as your display manager, take a look at the many GDM themes |
457 |
|
|
available on <uri link="http://www.gnome-look.org">Gnome-Look</uri>. To install |
458 |
|
|
them, you can either unpack and move them to |
459 |
|
|
<path>/usr/share/gdm/themes/</path> on the command line, or you can run |
460 |
|
|
<c>gdmsetup</c> as <b>root</b> and drag'n'drop the archive into the GDM window. |
461 |
|
|
There are some <uri |

Finally, Xfce has its own built-in compositor to manage window transparency. |
470 |
|
|
This option can be found in Menu --> Settings --> Window Manager. For best |
471 |
|
|
performance, you will need to be running a graphics card with drivers that |
472 |
nightmorph |
1.4 |
support hardware-accelerated rendering. Make sure you emerged <c>xfwm4</c> with |
473 |
|
|
the <c>xcomposite</c> USE flag. Next, you will need to enable compositing in |
474 |
|
|
<path>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</path> by adding the following section: |
475 |
nightmorph |
1.1 |

|
<pre caption="Enabling composite in xorg.conf"> |

|
|
</pre> |
482 |
|
|
|
483 |
|
|
<p> |
484 |
|
|
This is the bare minimum configuration required for Xfce and Xorg-X11. However, |
485 |
|
|
setting up hardware-accelerated rendering depends on your individual graphics |
486 |
|
|
card, and is beyond the scope of this guide. Please see the other guides in the |

<title>Upgrading from 4.2 to 4.4</title> |

<p> |

|
|
Upgrading from Xfce 4.2 to 4.4 isn't hard, but neither is it as simple as most |
504 |
|
|
upgrades. With the release of 4.4, many older packages are either deprecated, or |
505 |
|
|
their functionality has been included into the desktop in some other manner. |
506 |
|
|
</p> |
507 |
|
|
|
508 |
|
|
<p> |
509 |
|
|
First, update your Portage tree (<c>emerge --sync</c>), then see what Xfce |
510 |
|
|
updates are available (<c>emerge -pvtuD world</c>). |
511 |
|
|
</p> |
512 |
|
|
|
513 |
|
|
<p> |
514 |
|
|
You'll notice that there will be a list of packages that block upgrading, as |
515 |
|
|
most 4.2 packages cannot coexist with 4.4 packages. Here, the solution is pretty |
516 |
|
|
straightforward: just unmerge the blocking packages, as described in the <uri |
517 |
|
|
link="/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1">Portage |
518 |
|
|
Handbook</uri> and <c>man emerge</c>, then continue with the update. |
519 |
|
|
</p> |
520 |
|
|
|
521 |
|
|
<p> |
522 |
|
|
Next, you may need to rebuild certain packages, such as applications linked |
523 |
|
|
against <c>dbus</c>. You'll need to first install <c>gentoolkit</c> for this. |
524 |
|
|
Then, once <c>gentoolkit</c> is installed, run: |
525 |
|
|
</p> |
526 |
|
|
|
527 |
|
|
<pre caption="Rebuilding packages"> |

|
|
<comment>(If you see any output about broken packages, run this next command)</comment> |
530 |
|
|
# <i>revdep-rebuild</i> |
531 |
|
|
</pre> |
532 |
|
|
|
533 |
|
|
<note> |
534 |
|
|
For more information, please read <c>man revdep-rebuild</c> and our <uri |
535 |
|
|
link="/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml">Gentoolkit Guide</uri>. |
536 |
|
|
</note> |
537 |
|
|
|
538 |
|
|
<p> |
539 |
|
|
Once the rebuild has finished, run <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> again, just to make |
540 |
|
|
sure you have a clean and consistent world. If anything still shows up, keep |
541 |
|
|
repeating <c>revdep-rebuild -p</c> and <c>revdep-rebuild</c> until there's no |
542 |
|
|
more output about broken packages. Most Xfce update problems stem from |
543 |
|
|
<c>dbus</c> issues, as Xfce uses <c>dbus</c> quite extensively. |
544 |
|
|
</p> |
545 |
|
|
|
546 |
|
|
<p> |
547 |
|
|
Next, restart <c>dbus</c> and/or <c>hal</c>. |
548 |
|
|
</p> |
549 |
|
|
|
550 |

|
|
</pre> |
554 |
|
|
|
555 |
|
|
<p> |
556 |
|

Finally, give yourself a fresh environment. |

Make sure you familiarize yourself with all the new options available in the new |
571 |
|
|
Settings Manager. Of interest are the options in the Desktop screen; Xfce can |
572 |
|
|
now manage your desktop and place icons on it. |

|
</p> |
574 |
|
|
|
575 |
|

<p> |
576 |
|
|
There's also a Window Manager Tweaks screen, in which you can adjust the |
577 |
nightmorph |
1.6 |
behavior of windows, workspaces, and transparency (if enabled). Xfce 4.4 has |
578 |
|
|
slightly changed the default behavior of workspaces and active window focus. If |
579 |
|
|
you find that clicking a hyperlink in one workspace switches your browser to |
580 |
|
|
that workspace from another one (or similar annoying window focus behavior), try |
581 |

Settings --> Window Manager Tweaks --> Focus --> Activate Focus Stealing |
