Hi,people here ! It is the first time I use Gentoo. I want to have a system that can play movies (using mplayer) and surf on the Net (using firefox).These two function are good enough for me(I don't want other useless things).I am installing xorg-server now( it really takes time :x ).So I wonder if it is enough for me to just install xorg-server,mplayer and firfox (I mean "emerge xorg-server mplayer firefox" ).I don't want to have a kde or gnome environment if it is not necessary . But I'm not sure if I can play movie without kds or gnome :? .If you want ,you can check my /etc/make.conf for further information,thank you! :)

Hello,

xorg-server will only emerge for you the graphical drivers. No window manager, no terminal.

You will need to emerge a WM (twm, fvwm, fluxbox, xfce, ...), a terminal (xterm, ...)

Yes, and more likely you want to emerge XDM too, though you can run desktop without it, but you'll need to write your own script to start Xserver

startx script is provided by xinit, no need to write your own. You can run any X app without a WM. You may find having some lightweight WM makes life much easier, though. :wink:

Might I suggest emerging kdebase-meta? It is relatively lightweight and works nicely.

Yeah right :P Maybe not :P

I suggest something like Xfce if he wants something pretty fast.

I have one box with only xorg-server, twm, and smplayer. It works for what I need.
Updates and so on are done via ssh.

8O LOL

KDE4 has become the most bloated desktop environment we have. On my kdeless laptop (but with Qt4 already installed) an emerge kdebase-meta would result in adding:
Code:
Total: 114 packages (109 new, 5 reinstalls, 1 uninstall), Size of downloads: 242,585 kB

And that is with mysql disabled, which is enabled by default on the desktop profile...

I'd recommend Openbox for light-weight.

I recently built the same setup with xorg-server running openbox as my WM with firefox and VLC as major applications. You may want to put feh for your wallpaper, tint2 for taskbar and your other basic tools (calendar, calculator, imageviewer, etc.). System runs really fast on my 3 year old laptop, boots up at around 20 secs and plays movies flawlessly.

You may want to ease up on your USE flags. Setting your USE flags on package.use should be the way to go, imho.

openbox + tint2 + rox (as a desktop icon manager) makes a nice and lightweight setup. i've been using it for a few years now - tin2 is a replacement for fbpanel i've been using earlier.

kdebase-meta is much lighter than kde-meta, which pulls in all KDE packages.

If you want video in firefox I recommend installing adobe-flash and gecko-mediaplayer as well. As for a window manager suggestion I recommend FVWM, since you can configure it to be extremely minimal if you want.

I was talking about kdebase-meta. That's 114 packages and 240 MB to download just for kdebase-meta...

PostPosted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 2:06 am    Post subject: Thank you all ! Reply with quote

Wow,thank you for your advice ! I really appreciate it ! :D

Until now I am still not very sure about USE. When I run " emerge -pv something " ,I often get a list of packages to be installed,every package need to write something like " USE = ..........." to /etc/make.conf .I mean if I want to install this software, do I have to write all these "USE =.........." to /etc/make.conf ? How about I totally write nothing to /etc/make.conf at all ? I guess Gentoo will install it with the default "USE=.........." as I get in the list. :)

PS: I still can not get my X work. I get this error after I run "startx" : FATAL: Module i915 not found.
Maybe I need to delete every "USE=........" in my /etc/make.conf and re-install X in its default way. :)

Sounds like you haven't installed the drivers needed for xorg-server. Take a look here, and pay specific attention to the INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS vars: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

Since you already installed xorg-server, you will likely want to run an `emerge -DuN xorg-server` when you complete the configuration.

Also, some USE flags will be set by the profile. Run:
Code:
eselect profile list

For a desktop system, it is usually advisable to set a desktop profile:
Code:
eselect profile set <number of 10.0/desktop profile>
This will enable most/all the USE flags required for a desktop system.

Also see : Gentoo Handbook - USE flags

Happy compiling. :)

Here's a few things you can check out:

1. Run startx without the xorg.conf. In my case, running "# Xorg -configure" and pointing out to the generated xorg.conf.new file crashes X 100% of the time. Startx by itself should be sufficient.

2. You may take a look at this http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA for your video, assuming you have an intel card / onboard.

3. To further understand your /etc/make.conf, try to supplement the official gentoo install guide with http://gentoo-install.com/.

4. Familiarize yourself with USE flags and what they do. Pop-up http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml everytime you do an '# emerge -av xxxx'. [/url]

5. Learn when to use /etc/portage/package.use and /etc/portage/package.keywords

Please post the output of lspci -n
lspci is from the sys-apps/pciutils package.

Also post the the output of this command:
Code:
egrep '^[^#].*(PCI|AGP|DRM|INTEL|MTRR|SYSVIPC)' /usr/src/linux/.config


Also post your emerge --info
and the output of rc-status

Personally, I would emerge XDM also to get a sorta 'desktop'...I don't know whether you would call it a desktop. But notice, you have to invoke everything from command line...firefox, mplayer (you should know many command line options for mplayer) etc...

Maybe you can install SMplayer...that will take the load off.

The flags that you're referring to are the global and default USE flags, for package specific USE flags, refer to that /etc/Portage/package.use

Read the handbook for more details.
