== Introduction ==


== Prerequisites ==
Audacious is a lightweight, GTK-based, open source audio player and descendant of XMMS.  Using plugins, the player supports many different formats and services.


Before installing GNOME, ensure that the [[X Window System]] has been installed.
In contrast to most other music players, Audacious does not support the concept of a music library, but is instead centered around playlists (like the classic Winamp). Additionally, Winamp Classic Skins are supported. Since Audacious supports GTK-2, GTK-3 (and Qt as of version 3.6), it is usable for different desktop environments or window manager setups.
 
{{fancywarning|1=
Please note that Linux kernel 3.15.* may still have serious incompatibility with various graphics drivers. If you like to use <code>gentoo-sources</code> or <code>vanilla-sources</code>, please use a 3.14.* kernel. This is of particular importance if you plan to run GNOME, and want to use NVIDIA (commercial or nouveau) or ATI (ati-drivers) graphics drivers.}}
 
== Preparing to emerge ==
 
To get your system ready to emerge gnome, it is recommended that you first set the gnome profile mix-in. To accomplish this, do the following:
<console>
##r### ##b## eselect profile list
##g##Currently available mix-ins profiles: 
  [11]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio 
  [12]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras 
  [13]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd 
  [14]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome 
  [15]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde 
  [16]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/mate 
  [17]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media 
  [18]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/print 
  [19]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/python3-only
  [20]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/rhel5-compat
  [21]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-db 
  [22]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-mail
  [23]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-web
  [24]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X
  [25]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/xfce
  [26]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/vmware-guest
  [27]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/hardened
</console>
After seeing a list of available profiles, we want to add in the appropriate number for the gnome mix-in. To do this, run the following:
<console>
##r### ##b##eselect profile add 14
</console>
 
By enabling the gnome mix-in, various USE and other settings will be optimized to provide you with a pain-free GNOME installation experience.
 
== Emerging ==
 
You are provided with two packages that will pull in this desktop environment:
 
* ''gnome''
 
{{fancynote|This is the "whole shabang" - pulls in a range of applications made for the gnome desktop environment including a few games, an archive manager, a system monitor, a web browser, a terminal, etc.}}
 
* ''gnome-light''
 
{{fancynote|As the name implies, this pulls in the base minimal you need to get a functioning GNOME Desktop Environment.}}
 
=== GNOME 3.12 from a clean install ===
 
==== gnome ====
 
To emerge ''gnome'' run the following command
 
<console>
# ##i## emerge gnome
</console>
 
==== gnome-light ====
 
To emerge ''gnome-light'' run the following command
 
<console>
# ##i## emerge gnome-light
</console>
 
=== Upgrading from GNOME 3.6 ===
 
==== gnome ====
 
To emerge ''gnome'', remove nautilus-open-terminal if it is installed as it now bundled into gnome-terminal


== Installing ==
Emerge audacious:
<console>
<console>
# ##i## emerge -C nautilus-open-terminal
# ##i##emerge -a media-sound/audacious
</console>
</console>
This will pull in the ebuild "media-plugins/audacious-plugins", which contains the necessary plugins to play different kinds of media files.


Then, run the following command
== Running ==
 
Run with:
<console>
<console>
# ##i## emerge -vauDN world
$ ##i##audacious
</console>
</console>
 
While Audacious is running and playing music, you may use different parameters to toggle play/pause, skip forward/backward, etc:
==== gnome-light ====
 
To emerge ''gnome-light'' remove the following packages as there have been changes since 3.6 (you will have up reinstall any packages that have been renamed after gnome-light completes).
 
<console>
<console>
# ##i## emerge -C gnome-fallback gnome-panel gnome-screensaver metacity gnome-games gcalctool nautilus-open-terminal
$ ##i### Skip forward:
$ ##i##audacious -f
$ ##i### Toggle play/pause:
$ ##i##audacious -t
</console>
</console>
BInd this commands to your favourite shortcuts to control audacious using your keyboard. Alternatively, activate the "Global Hotkeys" plugin using the settings menu.


Then, run the following command
== Troubleshooting ==
 
;Audacious does not play my favourite media format.: Check the use flags you set on media-plugins/audacious-plugins.
<console>
{{EbuildFooter}}
# ##i## emerge -vauDN world
</console>
 
Finally, restore any applications that have been renamed (such as gcalctool => gnome-calculator)
 
<console>
# ##i## emerge gnome-calculator
</console>
 
== Subsystems ==
 
=== Bluetooth ===
 
For bluetooth support, ensure that:
 
# Bluetooth support is enabled in your kernel (using modules is fine).
# Your bluetooth hardware is turned on.
# Add the <code>bluetooth</code> startup script to the default runlevel, and start it.
 
This can be done as follows:
 
<console>
# ##i##rc-update add bluetooth default
# ##i##rc
</console>
 
Once this is done, you should now be able to navigate to ''Settings'' -> ''Bluetooth'' and turn bluetooth on. The icon next to devices should now animate and you should be able to discover and add devices such as keyboards.
 
=== Printing ===
 
To enable printing support, add <code>cupsd</code> to the default runlevel:
 
<console>
# ##i##rc-update add cupsd default
# ##i##rc
</console>
 
You should now be able to navigate to ''Settings'' -> ''Printers'' and add printers to your system, and print.
 
=== Scanning ===
 
To enable scanning support, add your user account to the <code>lp</code> group. This will allow your user to access the USB scanner.
 
Then, <code>emerge xsane</code>, and run it. It should be able to access your scanner.
 
== Finishing Touches ==
 
=== X ===
 
==== Setting up xdm (GUI log-in) ====
 
Typically, you will want to use <code>gdm</code>, the GNOME display manager, to log in to GNOME. This will allow you to log in graphically, rather than using the text console.
 
To enable gdm, edit <code>/etc/conf.d/xdm</code> and set <code>DISPLAYMANAGER</code> to <code>gdm</code> instead of <code>xdm</code>. Then, perform the following steps to add <code>xdm</code> to the default runlevel, and have it start automatically from now on when your system starts:
 
<console>
# ##i## rc-update add xdm default
</console>
 
Then, if you want to start it now do
 
<console>
# ##i##rc
</console>
 
But you should reboot to avoid having an open login terminal
 
==== Setting up xinitrc (text log-in) ====
 
Adding the following to your <code>~/.xinitrc</code> file is sufficient:
 
<pre>
# Fix Missing Applications in Gnome
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
 
# Properly Launch the Desired X Session
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
</pre>
 
Additionaly, if you need support for different input sources, there is no longer a need to configure ibus or scrim in your <code>.xinitrc</code> file as GNOME uses ibus natively. Simply configure it in the Control Center under Region & Langauge.
 
=== Disable Adwaita Dark Theme ===
 
If you do not like the Adwaita Dark Theme it can be disabled by copying then modifying it like so:
 
<console>
mkdir -p ~/.themes/Adwaita-NoDark
cp -r /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-* ~/.themes/Adwaita-NoDarkhttp://www.funtoo.org/Category:Ebuild_Category
rm ~/.themes/Adwaita-NoDark/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css
ln -s gtk.css ~/.themes/Adwaita-NoDark/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css
</console>
 
Then, run gnome-tweak-tool and select select Theme -> GTK+ Theme -> Adwaita-NoDark.
 
{{fancynote|If you run GUI programs with the sudo command, then the above steps (excluding running gnome-tweak-tool) must be repeated for the root account.}}
 
[https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/10304/how-do-i-ban-apps-from-using-gnome-3-adwaita-dark-theme/ Reference]
 
=== Verify the inode/directory MimeType Handler ===
 
In some odd instances, baobab might take priority over nautilus when handling the inode/directory MimeType. If this behavior is not desired, add the following to /home/~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:
 
<pre>
[Added Associations]
inode/directory=nautilus.desktop;baobab.desktop;
</pre>
 
=== Automatically Starting Applications at Login ===
 
When using an old-fashioned <code>.xinitrc</code>, starting up applications when X starts is relatively easy. When using GDM, this can still be accomplished, by using the <code>~/.xprofile</code> file. Here's my sample <code>.xprofile</code> to start <code>xflux</code> to dim the screen at night:
 
<pre>
xflux -z 87107
</pre>
 
Remember to add a <code>&</code> at the end of any command that doesn't return to the shell prompt after running.

Introduction

Audacious is a lightweight, GTK-based, open source audio player and descendant of XMMS. Using plugins, the player supports many different formats and services.

In contrast to most other music players, Audacious does not support the concept of a music library, but is instead centered around playlists (like the classic Winamp). Additionally, Winamp Classic Skins are supported. Since Audacious supports GTK-2, GTK-3 (and Qt as of version 3.6), it is usable for different desktop environments or window manager setups.

Installing

Emerge audacious: 

root # emerge -a media-sound/audacious

This will pull in the ebuild "media-plugins/audacious-plugins", which contains the necessary plugins to play different kinds of media files.

Running

Run with: 

user $ audacious

While Audacious is running and playing music, you may use different parameters to toggle play/pause, skip forward/backward, etc: 

user $ # Skip forward:
user $ audacious -f
user $ # Toggle play/pause:
user $ audacious -t

BInd this commands to your favourite shortcuts to control audacious using your keyboard. Alternatively, activate the "Global Hotkeys" plugin using the settings menu.

Troubleshooting

Audacious does not play my favourite media format.
Check the use flags you set on media-plugins/audacious-plugins.
