INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLING CRUX-XFCE4 REPO

  1. First download the necessary files:

    wget --no-ch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mac-a-r0ni/crux-xfce4/master/crux-xfce4.httpup

  2. Move the downloaded file to the proper folder:

    sudo mv crux-xfce4.httpup /etc/ports/

  3. Create the dir where the ports are contained:

    sudo mkdir /usr/ports/crux-xfce4

  4. Add the ports line in yours /etc/prt-get.conf to fetch the repo:

    prtdir /usr/ports/crux-xfce4

  5. Update the repo into your computer:

    sudo ports -u crux-xfce4

NOTES

  1. Enable the contrib repo because some dependencies reside there.
  2. The XFCE 4.18 Desktop has been tested on CRUX/CRUX-ARM 3.7. You may need to ignore footprints if youve installed certain software from the official repos.

CONTACT

If you have any questions, doubts or problems regarding the ports, please feel free to contact me at j at lngn dot net or just open a issue.

XFCE INSTALLATION

  1. To ensure you have a sane Xorg installation I decided to put all the Xorg dependencies with the first package you install from XFCE on libxfce4util

  2. Install the packages in this exact order:

    sudo prt-get depinst libxfce4util xfconf libxfce4ui udisks2 gvfs garcon exo xfce4-panel thunar thunar-volman xfce4-settings xfce4-session xfwm4 xfdesktop xfce4-appfinder tumbler xfce4-terminal xfce4-power-manager xfce4-notifyd xfce4-screenshooter mousepad xdg-user-dirs

  3. Get a big cup of coffee and just relax...

  4. To launch Xfce create a .xinitrc file in your home directory with the following content:

    #!/bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

  5. If you have any problem launching XFCE and you have a an Intel graphic card, install xorg-xf86-video-intel and the mesa ports from the xorg repo.

  6. For apps that need authorization (running as root) on X11 you'll need to install the 'polkit-gnome' and 'pinentry-gtk' ports, also from this repo.

  7. Enjoy this beautiful Desktop Environment!
