This directory contains file to test the desktop following the idea from
<https://guix.gnu.org/de/blog/2019/running-a-guix-xfce-desktop-on-centos-7/>.
The basic idea: Start an X11 server (provided by the host OS) on another
virtual terminal and make this run the desktop.
See comments in desktop-manifest.scm for which packages get installed and what
combinations I already treid.
Brief howto
=================
* Switch to a new virtual terminal (e.g Ctrl-Alt-F2) and login there
(maybe this is not necessary, but I was not able to start a new X11 server
from within my running X session)
* cd here
* Adjust desktop-manifest.scm
* Adjust .xinitrc
* Run ./00-setup.sh
This script will set this directory as your HOME, create a Guix profile
containing the Plasma desktop and start the X11 server with the Plasma
desktop on the next virtaul terminal.
* check results, refine packages, adjust desktop-manifest.scm redo :-)
* new X-server will get DISPLAY :1.
To change this, change number at the end of 00-setup.sh and 01-setup.sh
Files
============
00-setup.sh - starts using a profile - might require tweaking
01-setup.sh - starts using an environment - unfinished
desktop-manifest.scm - packages to install.
Also contains information about what I already tried.
.xserverrc - starts X server on next vt - called by xinit
.xinitrc - start the X clients, esp. the desktop
Use these scripts to be more flexible in adjusting environments
xorg.conf - unused in the Plase desktop test playground. *-setup.sh uses the
host OS's xinit and the host OS's xorg.conf
unstrace.py - unfinished helper to strip irrelevant information from
the strace logs
