Graphical sessions are often full of unnecessary features, increasing (unnecessarily) the overall complexity of a desktop system. In this blog entry we intend to go back to the bare minimum, which defines itself as a reasonable step forward in practicality compared the default `tty`. Like being able to run graphical applications in windows and being able to manage these windows efficiently. We will meet but not exceed these requirements with [River](https://isaacfreund.com/software/river/) as our tiling window manager, [PipeWire](https://pipewire.org/) as our multimedia framework, and [OpenRC](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:OpenRC) as our user-service manager.

## User services with OpenRC
|
||||
|
||||
As of `openrc-0.60` user services are supported by `openrc` (1). To enable a `openrc` user session we require a runtime dir (`XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`), which can be supplied by [turnstile](https://github.com/chimera-linux/turnstile) (2). Therefore emerge `turnstile`:
|
||||
{ .annotate }
|
||||
|
||||
1. Presently the versions `>=0.60` of `openrc` are unstable. Enable unstable releases of `openrc` with:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.accept_keyword/openrc"
|
||||
sys-apps/openrc ~amd64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. The `turnstile` ebuild can be found in the [portage-ample](https://git.ampel.dev/ampel/portage-ample) repository.
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a sys-auth/turnstile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and enable runtime dir management by `turnstile` by setting `manage_rundir` to yes in `turnstiled.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/turnstile/turnstiled.conf"
|
||||
manage_rundir = yes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add the `turnstile` daemon to the default runlevel:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# rc-update add turnstiled default
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`pam` enables us to generate this `rundir` and start the `openrc` user session when the user is logged in by enabling the `turnstile` and `openrc` `pam` modules in `pam.d/system-login`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/pam.d/system-login"
|
||||
session optional pam_turnstile.so
|
||||
session optional pam_openrc.so
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This user session contains the usual runlevels (`boot`, `default`, `shutdown`) that are run in their respective regimes (1). One approach is to add the window manager in the `default` runlevel, such that it will be started at login. But there are particular use cases where the graphical session is not required or wanted (only taking up precious resources), it is therefore wise to configure the graphical session in its own runlevel, to have the freedom to enable it any time you want with `openrc -U <runlevel-graphical-session>` (2).
|
||||
{ .annotate }
|
||||
|
||||
1. Though `boot` and `shutdown` should rather be interpreted as `login` and `logout` of the user session in this particular case.
|
||||
2. Or to link it to the `default` runlevel.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides the `<runlevel-graphical-session>`, denoted with `g`, we will also define a `<runlevel-post-graphical-session>`, denoted with `h`, for the services depending on the graphical-session. The creation of these runlevels can be simply performed with `mkdir`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh$ mkdir ~/.config/rc/runlevels/g
|
||||
sh$ mkdir ~/.config/rc/runlevels/h
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and stack them accordingly:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh$ ln -s /home/<user>/.config/rc/runlevels/default /home/<user>/.config/rc/runlevels/g
|
||||
sh$ ln -s /home/<user>/.config/rc/runlevels/g /home/<user>/.config/rc/runlevels/h
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A set of minimal applications consisting of the terminal emulator (`foot`), application launcher (`fuzzel`(1)), notification daemon (`mako`) and display configurator (`kanshi`(2)) that will be of use in the graphical session may be emerged via:
|
||||
{ .annotate }
|
||||
|
||||
1. Presently `fuzzel` is unstable in `GURU`. Enable unstable releases of `fuzzel` with:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/fuzzel"
|
||||
gui-apps/fuzzel ~amd64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Presently `kanshi` and its dependency `libsfcg` is unstable in `GURU`. Enable unstable releases of `kanshi` and `libscfg` with:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/kanshi"
|
||||
gui-apps/kanshi ~amd64
|
||||
dev-libs/libscfg ~amd64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a gui-apps/foot gui-apps/fuzzel gui-apps/mako gui-apps/kanshi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These applications require `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` to be set by the window manager. Therefore allow this variable to propagate in the user session:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/rc.conf"
|
||||
rc_env_allow="WAYLAND_DISPLAY"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The terminal emulator (`foot`) requires the backend `footserver` for its clients. Therefore create a user service that will supervise `footserver`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/footserver"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need graphical-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/foot"
|
||||
command_args="--server"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also the notification daemon (`mako`) and the display configurator (`kanshi`) require to be supervised, thus create a user service for them as well:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/mako"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need graphical-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/mako"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/kanshi"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need graphical-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/kanshi"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Adding these user services to `<runlevel-post-graphical-session>` can simply be performed with `rc-update -U`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add footserver h
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add mako h
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add kanshi h
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Window management with River
|
||||
|
||||
We require a seat manager as the mediating layer between the window manager and the hardware, to be able to run the window manager in the user session. We will use `seatd` as the seat management daemon, which requires us to set the following `USE` flags:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.use/seatd"
|
||||
sys-auth/seatd server -builtin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now emerge `seatd`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a seatd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and add the daemon to the default runlevel:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# rc-update add seatd default
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> We need to be part of the `video` and `seat` group to effectively communicate with seat manager:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ``` shell-session
|
||||
> sh# usermod --append --groups video,seat <user>
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
Video drivers are necessary for a graphical session to function. In Gentoo it is as simple as specifying what video card the system uses using the `USE` flags:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.use/video"
|
||||
*/* VIDEO_CARDS: -* <amdgpu radeonsi || intel || nvidia>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By setting the `VIDEO_CARDS` `USE` flag the dependencies of `river` are compiled for the video card of the system, thus emerge `river` (1):
|
||||
{ .annotate }
|
||||
|
||||
1. Presently `river` is unstable in `GURU`. Enable unstable releases of `river` with:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/river"
|
||||
gui-wm/river ~amd64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a gui-wm/river
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Buckle up, this is quite a hefty emerge.
|
||||
|
||||
`river` starts by executing an init (POSIX shell) script present in `~/.conig/river/init`, this scipt should contain or link to all the configuration of `river`. A minimal configuration of the `river/init` script is given below:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/river/init"
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Set background and colours
|
||||
swaybg -m fill -c 000000 -i $HOME/.local/share/backgrounds/<background> & #(1)!
|
||||
riverctl border-color-focused 0xFFFFFFCC
|
||||
riverctl border-color-unfocsed 0xFFFFFF66
|
||||
riverctl border-color-urgent 0xFFFFFF
|
||||
|
||||
# Set border-width
|
||||
riverctl border-width 2
|
||||
|
||||
# Set layout
|
||||
riverctl default-layout rivertile
|
||||
rivertile --view-padding 4 --outer-padding 4 &
|
||||
|
||||
# Source the keybinds
|
||||
source ~/.config/river/binds
|
||||
|
||||
# Switch to post-graphical runlevel
|
||||
openrc -U h
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Device input settings ##
|
||||
|
||||
# Keyboard layout
|
||||
riverctl keyboard-layout qwerty
|
||||
|
||||
# Set keyboard repeat rate
|
||||
riverctl set-repeat 50 300
|
||||
|
||||
# Set focus-follow-cursor
|
||||
riverctl focus-follow-cursor normal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. This line is optional, but if you want to spruce up your graphical session, then emerge:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a gui-apps/swaybg
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
with the `river/binds` given by:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/river/binds"
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Super+Shift+Q to exit river

```
|

|
||||
1. Optionally, it could be useful to lock your session, therefore emerge `waylock`(1):
|
||||
{ .annotate }
|
||||
|
||||
1. Presently `waylock` is unstable in `GURU`. Enable unstable releases of `waylock` with:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/fuzzel"
|
||||
gui-apps/waylock ~amd64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a gui-apps/waylock
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Optionally, it could be useful to see the datetime as a notification when you long for it, which is part of [ampel/notifiers](https://git.ampel.dev/ampel/notifiers).
|
||||
|
||||
3. Optionally, it could be useful to see the battery state as a notification, especially when you have a laptop. This functionality is part of [ampel/notifiers](https://git.ampel.dev/ampel/notifiers).
|
||||
|
||||
4. Optionally, it could be useful to see the brightness state of your display as a notification, which is part of [ampel/notifiers](https://git.ampel.dev/ampel/notifiers). As an additional remark, the default of configuration of `acpid` in Gentoo sucks, setting brightness capability with the same keys requires some changes in the configuration that can be found [here](https://git.lucbijl.nl/luc/gentoo-desktop/src/branch/main/etc/acpi).
|
||||
|
||||
5. Optional screenshot capability.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Optional screenshot capability.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Optionally, it could be useful to set and get the state of the audio sink and source, which is part of [ampel/notifiers](https://git.ampel.dev/ampel/notifiers).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to run our window manager (`river`) supervised, we require the `river` user service:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/river"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need dbus
|
||||
provide graphical-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/river"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and add it to `<runlevel-graphical-session>`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add river g
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Interfacing audio and video with PipeWire
|
||||
|
||||
We will interface audio and video with `pipewire` with `wireplumber` as fronted and `pulseaudio` support, which requires us to set the following `USE` flags:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="/etc/portage/package.use/pipewire"
|
||||
media-video/pipewire sound-server loudness echo-cancel bluetooth
|
||||
media-sound/pulseaudio -daemon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Emerge `libpulse` for `pulseaudio` support, `pipewire` and `wireplumber`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a media-libs/libpulse media-video/pipewire media-video/wireplumber
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and copy the default configuration of `pipewire` and `wireplumber` to their respective `~/.config` folders:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh$ cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf ~/.config/pipewire/
|
||||
sh$ cp /usr/share/wirelumber/wireplumber.conf ~/.config/wireplumber/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now create the corresponding user services for the `pipewire-pulse` support layer, `pipewire` itself, and `wireplumber`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/pipewire-pulse"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need audio-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/pipewire"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need graphical-session
|
||||
provide audio-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/pipewire"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/wireplumber"
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need audio-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/bin/wireplumber"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and add them to `<runlevel-post-graphical-session>`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add pipewire h
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add pipewire-pulse h
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add wireplumber h
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> We need to be part of the `pipewire` group for `pipewire` and dependencies to work accordingly:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ``` shell-session
|
||||
> sh# usermod --append --groups pipewire <user>
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
For screencast and screenshot support in the graphical session we require the `xdg-desktop-portal` layer for rivers' backend `wlroots`, together with some tools (`grim`, `slurp`, `wl-clipboard`) to perform and save screenshots to the clipboard:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell-session
|
||||
sh# emerge -a gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr gui-apps/grim gui-app/slurp gui-apps/wl-clipboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `xdg-desktop-portal` should be run supervised, therefore create the `xdg-desktop-portal-wlr` user service:
|
||||
|
||||
``` shell title="~/.config/rc/init.d/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr"
|
||||
|
||||
depend() {
|
||||
need graphical-session
|
||||
need audio-session
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
supervisor=supervise-daemon
|
||||
command="/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and add it to `<runlevel-post-graphical-session>`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sh$ rc-update -U add xdg-desktop-portal-wlr h
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Concluding remarks
|
||||
|
||||
Well, I think we are there, a minimal graphical session suitable for everyday use. Regarding the customisation of the installed gui-apps, you may have a look at [my gentoo-desktop repository](https://git.lucbijl.nl/luc/gentoo-desktop), or if you think you have a better taste for aesthetic, then do it yourself you cynical connoisseur!
