| 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:
| | {{{field |

| |
| [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.

|
| === GNOME 3.12 from a clean install ===
| | {{{standard input|save}}} {{{standard input|preview}}} {{{standard input|changes}}} {{{standard input|cancel}}} |
| | |
| ==== 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 -va 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
| |
| | |
| <console>
| |
| # ##i## emerge -vaC nautilus-open-terminal
| |
| </console>
| |
| | |
| Then, run the following command
| |
| | |
| <console>
| |
| # ##i## emerge -vauDN world
| |
| </console>
| |
| | |
| ==== 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>
| |
| # ##i## emerge -vaC gnome-fallback gnome-panel gnome-screensaver metacity gnome-games gcalctool nautilus-open-terminal
| |
| </console>
| |
| | |
| Then, run the following command
| |
| | |
| <console>
| |
| # ##i## emerge -vauDN world
| |
| </console>
| |
| | |
| Finally, restore any applications that have been renamed (such as gcalctool => gnome-calculator)
| |
| | |
| <console>
| |
| # ##i## emerge -va 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 <tt>gdm</tt>, 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 <tt>/etc/conf.d/xdm</tt> and set <tt>DISPLAYMANAGER</tt> to <tt>gdm</tt> instead of <tt>xdm</tt>. Then, perform the following steps to add <tt>xdm</tt> 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 <tt>~/.xinitrc</tt> 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 <tt>.xinitrc</tt> 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.}} | |

| |
| | |
| === 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 <tt>.xinitrc</tt>, starting up applications when X starts is relatively easy. When using GDM, this can still be accomplished, by using the <tt>~/.xprofile</tt> file. Here's my sample <tt>.xprofile</tt> to start <tt>xflux</tt> to dim the screen at night:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| xflux -z 87107
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Remember to add a <tt>&</tt> at the end of any command that doesn't return to the shell prompt after running.
