Hello Bruce, Ken, Xi and list Bruce suggested me to look at XFCE as it should easier to implement than LXQT, So I compiled XFCE all components.
I do not concur, XFCE depend on rustc (and rustc is an heavy heavy package), as I reported previously I "drop rustc overboard" and then implementation complexity, between LXQt and XFCE, is even. I would give a small advantage to LXQT (the whole 0.13 LXQT implementation can be describe within one BLFS page). BLFS-8.1 project was using LXQT-0.11.1, I have for my say 0.13 is fare easier than 0.11 (upstream project cleaned dependencies). Easy to say, could we see that ourselves? Sure! Last night I recompiled the whole LFS project (LFS-8.3-1.4.0) from scratch and made an ISO. The ISO can be used as an LFS rescue tool or as an install tool. Once you have the ISO (CD or USB), the whole install procedure can be completed in less than 20 minutes (DHCP, a 50Mb/s link and a >= 100G spare disk). Once fully installed: #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 2.0G 4.0K 2.0G 1% /dev /dev/md3 20G 5.6G 13G 30% / tmpfs 2.0G 21M 2.0G 2% /run /dev/md1 5.9G 63M 5.5G 2% /boot /dev/md5 34G 1.5G 31G 5% /var /dev/md6 157G 466M 148G 1% /home You can chose to install release-lxqt and/or release-XFCE. Install can be done from remote, using ssh (very convenient), provided you set a root password to the live-ISO session. On purpose, inittab is not set to level 5 when installing graphic. To test graphic use sddm|startx|X. Once you have validated Graphic, it is up to you to change inittab from 3 to 5. Caution you may need to install (yum install) xf86-video-... according your hardware. Ken: Installation include browser 'falkon', I found it quite operational, could you confirm it is better now. The only weakness, seems to be, certificates, while falkon is able to handle them nicely, I was not able to find a way to manage/display certificate contents. Caution: On a GeForce GT 710, falkon crash as soon trying to display an URL, It was needed to implement the last proprietary Nvidia driver (standard "Nvidia-....run" procedure). For other (more recent nvidia card) falkon is working fine. Xi: package include, Simplified/traditional Chinese font + Japanese and Korean one. Could you check it (sddm allow to login in numerous language) and tell us if result are practicable or not. ISO+install, is (roughly) what I am using to work on LFS, for the last for 6 month. 2 main packages are missing. cups, and an email reader (Thunderbird??) But.... there is one game included. (:-}}} for sure, only purpose is to test 3D rending and sound effects) ISO: https://okrepo.safe.ca/osukiss/8.3/isos/LFS-8.3-1.4.0-rescue-x86_64.iso All (564) packages available: https://okrepo.safe.ca/osukiss/8.3/os-base/packages.listing Sources (compilation flags, if you need) https://okrepo.safe.ca/osukiss/8.3/os-base/srcrpm The whole project: http://www.osukiss.org -- A bientôt =========================================================== Jean-Marc Pigeon E-Mail: [email protected] ===========================================================
