Re: Cant install any DE

Hello, Hyperbola is not proposing any desktop-environment. So you won't find any KDE, Gnome, Xfce, Mate, Deepin or Pantheon here. You can nevertheless have different other options:

desktop-environment
lumina, lumina-extra (package-groups) for the Lumina-desktop, https://lumina-desktop.org/

window-managers
jwm, https://joewing.net/projects/jwm/
icewm, https://ice-wm.org/
fluxbox, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox
openbox, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openbox
herbstluftwm, https://herbstluftwm.org/
i3wm, https://i3wm.org/
dwm, https://dwm.suckless.org/
evilwm, https://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/

Your choice as there are for sure much more environments and combinations.
But to note: You cannot install KDE, Gnome or Xfce. We do not offer those here.

Re: Cant install any DE

So to install lumina:

Frist you create at best your user (root-access).

useradd -g users -m -s /bin/bash [USERNAME]

Second you add your user to the groups (root-access):

usermod -aG video [USERNAME]
usermod -aG audio [USERNAME]
usermod -aG sys [USERNAME]
usermod -aG storage [USERNAME]
usermod -aG optical [USERNAME]
usermod -aG games [USERNAME]
usermod -aG network [USERNAME]
usermod -aG power [USERNAME]
usermod -aG wheel [USERNAME]
usermod -aG input [USERNAME]

Then you install:

doas pacman -S lumina lumina-extra slim-theme-hyperbola xenocara-video-intel xterm

And add your services afterwards:

doas rc-update add slim default

Re: Cant install any DE

@throgh you could also mention that Lumina Desktop is already in the Hyperbola repos so it shouldn't be terribly hard.

Re: Cant install any DE

Please have a look at the previous postings where I underline the packages to be installed. And the wiki-link itself. So I think it is clear that lumina is part of the repositories. wink

Re: Cant install any DE

It would help if you state what kind of window-manager or desktop-environment you have now installed. For Lumina you would have basics already, same for IceWM and JWM also. Others in the list are different. So please take into perspective that you always give more information about what you did. Besides interesting: Have you taken a look into your .xinitrc-file under $HOME?

Re: Cant install any DE

Perhaps also here a bit more clear: You need for sure a file named .xinitrc in your HOME-folder. This file has be "executable". So the following:

cd ~
touch .xinitrc
chmod +x .xinitrc

BUT: You will also need to specify WHAT environment should be loaded. Some selection to make for example into that file:

lumina desktop

exec start-lumina-desktop

icewm

exec icewm-session

I added xterm into your package-selection before so you have a terminal running at most of them already.

Re: Cant install any DE
