Basics

• it command is install that installs packages from binary repository with all dependencies
• -c is the paramater that means component. It installs all packages from the component

Adding Contribution Repository

Firstly, add the contrib repository. Look here for instructions.

Installation

The installation of Xfce4 can be achieved through two methods. The first method involves using the graphical Pardus Linux Package Manager, whilst the second method uses the command line. If you are a new user it is recommended that you follow the first method.

Method One

Open up the Pardus Linux Package Manager and select all of the packages from the Xfce category. After you have selected all of the packages, press the install button. Pardus will now proceed to download all of the Xfce packages and their subsequent dependencies. After this process is complete, Xfce is not successfully installed.

Method Two

Open up a command line terminal (Konsole, Yakuake, Guake, etc.) and enter the following command;

sudo pisi it -c desktop.xfce.base -y

If you want to install all addons (panel plugins, Thunar extensions, etc.), you should also enter the following command:

sudo pisi it -c desktop.xfce.addon -y

Pardus will now proceed to download and install all of the Xfce4 packages and any subsequent dependencies. After this process has completed, Xfce4 will have been successfully installed.

Using GNOME Display Manager

You can start Xfce Session with KDM that is Pardus' default display manager. But if you use GDM instead of KDM, you can remove all KDE packages. First of all, install GDM package. It's in Contribution Repository. Then, open /etc/conf.d/xdm file with any editor as root and edit:

# Preferred display manager
DISPLAY_MANAGER="gdm"

# Cursor theme
#XCURSOR_THEME=""

And last, restart Pardus.

Extras

The Xfce4 desktop is vary basic as a result it is recommended that a number of additional software packages be installed afterwards. The following are a selection of packages that cna further enhance the Xfce desktop.

• Pidgin or Gajim (IM Client)
• Quod Libet or Listen (Music Player)
• Gcolor2 (Color Chooser)
• Galculator (Calculator)
• Sylpheed or Thunderbird (Mail Reader)
• FileZilla or GFTP (FTP Client)
• Liferea (RSS Reader)
• Transmission (BİtTorrent Client)
• Ristretto (Image Viewer)
• Midori (Web Browser)
• EpdfViewer (PDF Document Viewer)
• Wicd (Network Manager)
• GNOME Mplayer (Media Player)
