Lumina is a lightweight desktop environment. Mainly used on *BSD systems, does not rely on Linux desktop frameworks/tools such as systemd.
Prerequisites
Without D-Bus
- Consider if upgrade to Edge, as Lumina requires testing repository, unsupported on main/stable branches.
- Enable community and testing repositories
- Install Xorg
With D-Bus
- Internet connectivity, unless the packages have been pre-fetched into a local cache.
- Install appropriate Graphics driver drivers for your hardware. Without graphics drivers, errors are likely to occur when starting your desktop.
- A non-root user account with appropriate groups for desktop usage.
- The community repository must be enabled.
- Set up eudev.
- Install and enable D-Bus. Without D-Bus, icons and keyboard shortcuts may be missing.
- Consider if upgrade to Edge, as Lumina requires testing repository, unsupported on main/stable branches.
- Enable testing repository
- Install Xorg
Installation
Install the Lumina desktop environment packages
# apk add lumina-desktop
Install a terminal emulator with fonts to access the terminal from inside the desktop session, for example xterm
# apk add xterm font-terminus
Fixes
At the moment of writing, there are missing dependencies related to icons in the packages
# apk add qt5-qtsvg
Starting Lumina
With a display manager
ToDo
Manually
$ start-lumina-desktop
Setting Lumina as the default Desktop Environment
Without D-Bus
$ echo 'exec start-lumina-desktop' >> ~/.xinitrc
With D-Bus
$ echo 'exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session start-lumina-desktop' >> ~/.xinitrc
