Xfce
Para citar xfce.org: "Xfce é um ambiente de desktop leve para sistemas operacionais Unix-like. Tem por objetivo ser rápido e de baixo consumo para os recursos do sistema, enquanto está sendo visualmente atraente e fácil de usar."
Prerequisites
Selecting a profile
Read relevant documentation before performing any profile changes.
Using the basic desktop profile will provide a good set of defaults for Xfce. Other profiles can be used, but this gives a good balance between dependencies and usability, all else aside. To select the desktop profile:
root #
eselect profile set default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop
Evitando dependências desnecessárias
app-text/poppler e dev-util/cmake tem a flag +qt5
por padrão:
app-text/poppler -qt5
É claro, a flag -qt5
pode também ser definida globalmente no /etc/portage/make.conf se desejar.
xfce4-notifyd
This is an optional step to install xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd in place of x11-misc/notification-daemon. Skip this section if the choice of notification daemon is unimportant.
Emerging xfce-base/xfce4-meta will pull in the virtual/notification-daemon dependency. This virtual dependency is designed to insure that Xfce will be provided with a notification-daemon, whatever suitable software the user chooses to fulfill this role.
By default, virtual/notification-daemon will satisfy this dependency by drawing in GNOME's x11-misc/notification-daemon package. Xfce users may prefer to use xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd, if a notification-daemon has not already been installed.
By installing xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd before emerging Xfce, the virtual package virtual/notification-daemon will use xfce4-notifyd, and pull in no other packages. Use the --oneshot
option to avoid adding xfce4-notifyd to the world file:
root #
emerge --ask --oneshot xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd
Now proceed with the installation.

Usage
Launching Xfce
Xfce can either be run from a terminal after login, launched automatically after login, or be started by a graphical display manager that will greet the user and ask for login details.
Iniciando o Xfce sem um gerenciador de login
startx e startxfce4 são duas das opções disponíveis de imediato para iniciar o Xfce sem usar um gerenciador de login.
startx
Quando usar startx, crie um arquivo ~/.xinitrc com o seguinte conteúdo:
exec startxfce4
If experiencing authorization or permissions issues, see the troubleshooting section.
startxfce4
Para iniciar o desktop do Xfce4 simplesmente digite startxfce4 na linha de comando e pressione o enter:
user $
startxfce4
Gerenciadores de login
É possível usar um gerenciador de login para iniciar o Xfce. Por favor, consulte o artigo display manager para configurar um gerenciador de login.
A maioria dos gerenciadores de login usam o arquivo
- .desktop para configurar seções disponíveis. O seguinte é um exemplo de um arquivo desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xfce4
Comment=Use this session to run Xfce 4 as desktop environment
Exec=/usr/bin/startxfce4
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/xfce4_xicon1.png
Type=Application
O arquivo desktop pode ser colocado no local correto para o gerenciador de login.
Configuração
Xfce é um ambiente de desktop e, como tal, pode ser ajustado e adaptado às necessidades de (quase) todos os usuários. Nesta seção, uma série de aspectos populares (ou mais desafiadores) são cobertos.
Teclas de volume
Instale o xfce-extra/xfce4-volumed para gerenciar as teclas de volume (desatualizado - substituições sugeridas incluem media-sound/tudor-volumed ou use associação de teclas do gerenciador de janelas ou mixer) :
root #
emerge --ask xfce-extra/xfce4-volumed-pulse
media-sound/tudor-volumed may be an option for systems not using pulseaudio.
Execute xfce4-keyboard-settings para vincular as seguintes teclas:
- volume up button: amixer set Master 5%+
- volume down button: amixer set Master 5%-
- mute button: amixer set Master toggle
Temas consistentes em GTK+ 3
Uma outra opção é usar o tema Greybird, que tem suporte para GTK +2, GTK +3, xfwm4 e metacity:
root #
emerge --ask x11-themes/greybird
Vá para Xfce menu -> Configurações -> Aparência. Ou execute xfce4-appearance-settings. Selecione "Greybird" da lista de "estilo".
Agora as aplicações em GTK +2 e GTK +3 devem ter uma aparência consistente.
GTK client side decorations
XFCE by default disables GTK client side decorations. If one wishes to enable them, they can set GTK_CSD=1 environment variable. Apps like Firefox use client side decorations to hide their own title bar.
Outros temas
Outros temas disponíveis no Portage que são compatíveis com o XFCE podem ser instalados com a lista a seguir:
root #
emerge --ask x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix x11-themes/gnome-themes-standard x11-themes/gtk-engines-aurora x11-themes/light-themes x11-themes/murrine-themes x11-themes/nimbus x11-themes/oxygen-molecule x11-themes/redhat-artwork x11-themes/shiki-colors x11-themes/tactile3 x11-themes/zukini
Resolução de problemas
Ativar janela de encaixe vertical
A maioria dos ambientes de desktop modernos tem janela de encaixe vertical habilitada por padrão. Isto também é possível no Xfce, mas não por padrão. Para habilitar, navegue para: Configurações → Gerenciador de janela → Guia avançado.
- Certifique-se que a caixa de seleção "Snap windows to screen border" esteja selecionada.
- Certifique-se que as caixas de seleção em "Wrap workspaces when reaching the screen edge" tenham sido desmarcadas. Estas interferem com as janelas de encaixe vertical.
Uma vez que as caixas de seleção estejam configuradas, deve ser possível agora arrastar uma janela para o lado direito ou esquerdo da tela, o que deve fazer com que a janela redimensione à 50% da largura da tela.
Atalhos de teclado podem ser definidos, a fim de fazer isto, via comportamento típico Super+← ou Super+→. Navegue até Configurações → Gerenciador de janela → guia do teclado.
Defina as ações "Tile window to the left" e "Tile window to the right" com as combinações de teclas Super+← e Super+→, respectivamente.
Audio mixer acusa sobre a falta do pacote binário pavucontrol
Ao clicar no ícone de áudio no painel e selecionando Audio mixer... resulta em uma mensagem dizendo "pavucontrol binary not found".
A solução é instalar o pacote media-sound/pavucontrol:
root #
emerge --ask media-sound/pavucontrol
Xfce4-screensaver unable to unlock
Xfce-screensaver uses gnome-keyring by default to authenticate. By applying the installation method above, gnome-keyring will not be pulled and pam will be unable to service the default configuration installed in /etc/pam.d/xfce4-screensaver. Either pull gnome-keyring, otherwise the file should be modified to allow system-auth to be used on passwords:
auth include system-auth
password include system-auth
Authorization or permissions issues
When experiencing authorization or permissions issues within xfce4 in an OpenRC profile (symptoms include being unable to open power manager and unable to suspend/hibernate) make sure that sys-auth/elogind is installed and properly configured, and that the elogind
USE flag is globally enabled.
If launching with startx, replace the appropriate line in ~/.xinitrc with the following:
ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session
Dual-monitors get mirrored after monitor suspend
There are (at least) three ways to solve this issue. First is to save the display settings as the default monitor layout profile, then enable that profile as "new monitors connect". There's also the option to show a dialog whenever new monitors are detected, which will default to the profile instead of mirroring, when one is available. Navigate to Settings -> Display -> Advanced to find these options. Remember to configure the display settings before saving the first profile.
2nd way is to kill xfsettingsd after logging to the Xfce session. However this will also make some functionality unavailable, such as global hotkeys. A custom script can be created that kills the service, and add that to the autostarting applications list.
3rd is to have a custom script that can be executed via a .desktop icon on the desktop, panel, or ran manually each time the monitors are turned on.
Review the monitor IDs using the xrandr command.
The custom script could look something like the following:
xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --right-of DisplayPort-0 --auto
