Re: LXDE desktop in config.scm
Thank you very much, Leo Famulari! Yes, only 2 changes in config make my system
offers LXDE on login screen. These:
adding to (use-modules (gnu packages lxde))
and adding to (packages (cons* lxde))
But I have 4 troubles now.
First is that I have all DEs installed now, but I want only Xfce and LXDE.
I have 5 elements on login screen now:
- Xfce, as it was
- KDE,
- LXDE, as I wanted to add
- Gnome
- Openbox
Sorry, why? I do not need KDE, Gnome. I thought this config only adds LXDE.
Please, what is wrong in my config? I only added lxde, gedit, icecat to
(packages) list and (gnu packages lxde), (gnu packages gnuzilla) to
(use-modules) list.
# cat /etc/config.scm
;; This is an operating system configuration template
;; for a "desktop" setup with GNOME and Xfce where the
;; root partition is encrypted with LUKS.
(use-modules (gnu)
(gnu system nss)
(gnu packages lxde)
(gnu packages gnuzilla)
)
(use-service-modules desktop)
(use-package-modules certs gnome)
(operating-system
(host-name "antelope")
(timezone "Europe/Moscow")
(locale "en_US.utf8")
;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System
;; Partition mounted on /boot/efi.
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/sda")))
;; Specify a mapped device for the encrypted root partition.
;; The UUID is that returned by 'cryptsetup luksUUID'.
;(mapped-devices
; (list (mapped-device
;(source (uuid "12345678-1234-1234-1234-hash888abc"))
;(target "my-root")
;(type luks-device-mapping
(file-systems (cons (file-system
(device "/dev/sda1")
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4")
)
%base-file-systems))
(swap-devices '("/dev/sda2"))
(users (cons (user-account
(name "bob")
(comment "bob is good too")
(group "users")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
"audio" "video"))
(home-directory "/home/bob"))
%base-user-accounts))
;; This is where we specify system-wide packages.
(packages (cons* nss-certs ;for HTTPS access
gvfs ;for user mounts
gedit
icecat
lxde
%base-packages))
;; Add GNOME and/or Xfce---we can choose at the log-in
;; screen with F1. Use the "desktop" services, which
;; include the X11 log-in service, networking with
;; NetworkManager, and more.
(services (cons* (xfce-desktop-service)
%desktop-services))
;; Allow resolution of '.local' host names with mDNS.
(name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss))
The second problem is that in LXDE I cannot switch keyboard to another
language. I added applet 'Keyboard handler', configured it not to use system
configurations, added russian (and turkish to try), checked Left-Win and also
Alt-Shift for switch, but no keyboard keys, no mouse clicks to flag nothing
giving effect. I have only US keyboard. How to figure? May be, I need to add
other packages to config.scm like lxde-common, lxpannel, lxinput?
The third problem, when I add applet Volume control it does not appears. I need
something else to add to config? In Xfce I had nice pavucontrol applet on a
panel.
Th fourth is that on Xfce and LXDE I have no menu icons in video players, also
in xfce-terminal: http://0x0.st/sxlH.png http://0x0.st/sxkQ.png What to do?
I ask this cause last `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` worked too long
on my Lenovo G50-30 and I need exact instructions that were never described
specially for me.

As far as I know we don't even have a functional LXDE stack?

Re: LXDE desktop in config.scm
Nevermind my last email, I got a bit mixed up between lxqt and lxde. (Oops, I even added 'lxde' myself)

LXDE desktop in config.scm
Hello! GuixSD is nice for offers to users to have own software sets in one
machine. I work with Guix and need more examples on how to write system config.
Please, help me to write config.scm to use LXDE desktop with Xfce.
Here are presented only xfce-desktop-service, gnome-desktop-service,
mate-desktop-service, but no lxde.
So here https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/lxde.scm
only mentioned packages, but no services.
I could only add (use-modules (gnu packages lxde)) but lxde did not appeared in
login screen. Pressing F1 gives nothing.
Here I could not understand
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/System-Configuration.html#System-Configuration
Please, how to set up lxde with xfce and make lxde default? Where can I read
about this?
