Lumina
 Do not follow instructions here until this notice is removed. |
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 upgrade to Edge, as Lumina requires testing repository, unsupported on main/stable branches.
- Enable community and testing repositories
- Install Xorg
- Install Fluxbox
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, default icons in Lumina packages are broken, so it is necessary to install an icon theme like Oxygen
# apk add oxygen-icons
and enable it in Lumina Theme Engine/Icons
Starting Lumina
With a display manager
ToDo
Manually
$ start-lumina-desktop
Setting Lumina as the default Desktop Environment
$ echo 'exec start-lumina-desktop' >> ~/.xinitrc
