Desktop-notes

This material is proposed for merging ... It should be merged with XFCE Setup . (Discuss)

These are my personal xfce4 desktop notes.

Remaining differences to Xfce_Setup (need to be checked):

Base system

1. apk add slim (had no graphical shutdown/suspend support)

1. add user to specific groups (had no elogind support)
   1. adduser (username) audio
   2. adduser (username) video
   3. adduser (username) dialout

1. Add /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-intel.conf to have tear free scrolling:

 Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "TearFree"    "true"
 EndSection
 

Setting up Alsa audio

1. apk add alsa-utils
2. rc-update add alsa
3. rc-service alsa start
4. Set the default sound device
   1. List sound devices: cat /proc/asound/card*/id
   2. Depending on your setup select the proper device
      1. create a /etc/asound.conf with following content where PCH is sound card name.

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm {
        @func getenv
        vars [ ALSAPCM ]
        default "hw:PCH"
    }
}

Tweaks

Enable webgl on chromium when running on hardened kernel:

Edit: /boot/extlinux.conf

Add: grsec_sysfs_restrict=0 to the end of the of the APPEND line.

Don't forget to add it to your update-extlinux.conf
