First draft

New page

{{Draft}}

[https://lumina-desktop.org/ Lumina] is a lightweight desktop environment. Mainly used on *BSD systems, does not rely on Linux desktop frameworks/tools such as systemd.

== Prerequisites ==



* Consider if [[Upgrading_Alpine_Linux_to_a_new_release_branch#Upgrading_to_Edge|upgrade to Edge]], as Lumina requires testing repository, unsupported on main/stable branches.
* Enable [[Repositories#Enabling_the_community_repository|community]] and [[Repositories#Testing|testing]] repositories
* [[Alpine_setup_scripts#setup-xorg-base|Install Xorg]]
* Install [[Fluxbox]]

== Installation ==

Install the Lumina desktop environment packages

{{Cmd|# apk add {{Pkg|lumina-desktop}} }}

Install a terminal emulator with fonts to access the terminal from inside the desktop session, for example <code>xterm</code>

{{Cmd|# apk add {{Pkg|xterm}} {{Pkg|font-terminus}} }}

== Fixes ==

At the moment of writing, default icons in Lumina packages are broken, so it is necessary to install an icon theme like Oxygen

{{Cmd|# apk add {{Pkg|oxygen-icons}} }}

and enable it in <code>Lumina Theme Engine/Icons</code>

== Starting Lumina ==

=== With a display manager ===

ToDo

=== Manually ===

{{cmd|$ start-lumina-desktop}}

== Setting Lumina as the default Desktop Environment ==

{{Cmd|$ echo 'exec start-lumina-desktop' >> ~/.xinitrc}}
