Pantheon (简体中文)
Pantheon 是linux发行版 elementary os 的默认桌面环境。由开发者使用vala语言和gtk3工具包编写完成,高效并且易于使用。用户界面上,与GNOME-shell和Mac OS X多有相似之处。
安装
Pantheon桌面环境目前不由archlinux官方维护,要在archlinux安装使用Pantheon桌面环境可以向系统添加三方维护的软件源,并从该软件源安装相关软件包,将以下代码添加到软件源列表(需要管理员权限) /etc/pacman.conf
:(每日构建版本)
[pantheon] SigLevel = Optional Server = http://pkgbuild.com/~alucryd/$repo/$arch
当然,如果喜欢也可以选择自己编译这些软件包,相关的软件包源码都可以直接从 AUR 系统找到.
如果只是向体验基础的Pantheon用户界面.可以安装pantheon-session-bzrAUR,这将自动安装以下软件包:
- cerbere-bzrAUR: 进程守护程序
- gala-bzrAUR: 窗口管理器
- wingpanel-bzrAUR: 顶部面板组件
- slingshot-launcher-bzrAUR: 顶部面板应用程序菜单

补充信息
Packages based on older evolution-data-server
dexter-contacts-bzrAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] and feedler-bzrAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] do not build because they are based on evolution-data-server 3.2. Arch Linux provides version 3.10 which uses a different Vala API.
启用Pantheon桌面
使用显示服务器启动
pantheon-session-bzrAUR provides a session entry for display managers such as gdm or lightdm.
通过 .xinitrc 启动
你也可以用 ~/.xinitrc
启动Pantheon。这段代码将能够成功启动Pantheon:
#!/bin/sh if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f" done unset f fi gsettings-data-convert & xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update & /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 & /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon & /usr/lib/gnome-user-share/gnome-user-share & eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg) export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL GNOME_KEYRING_PID GPG_AGENT_INFO SSH_AUTH_SOCK exec cerbere
Autostart applications
Pantheon, when launched via ~/.xinitrc
, does not support XDG autostart. However, there are 3 other ways to achieve this for applications which do not provide a systemd unit:
- You may add any program to your
~/.xinitrc
, preferably right before the exec cerbere line. This is the better choice for one-shot programs. - Or you may edit the
org.pantheon.cerbere.monitored-processes
key using dconf-editor and add the programs of your choice. This method is best for applications which keep running in the background. - Or you may use a program like dapperAUR, dex-gitAUR, or fbautostartAUR to add support for XDG autostart in your
~/.xinitrc
.
Configuration
Configuring Pantheon is done via switchboard-bzrAUR and its plugs, most are available in the AUR and the custom repo. All pantheon settings can also be altered via dconf, they are located in the org.pantheon
key. Use dconf-editor for easy editing.
Part of the configuration is handled by gnome-control-center via a dedicated plug, which unfortunately only supports GNOME up to 3.6. Use gnome-control-center itself and gnome-tweak-tool instead.
Pantheon Files
If you want to enable context menu entries such as for file-roller to extract/compress archives, then you have to additionally install contractor-bzrAUR.
Terminal
Opacity (transparency)
You can set a certain opacity to make Pantheon Terminal (semi-)transparent. Open dconf-editor
and go to org.pantheon.terminal.settings.opacity
to set your desired opacity.
Known Issues
Indicators not working in wingpanel
Make sure the /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-[name].desktop file contains Pantheon inside OnlyShowIn=
OnlyShowIn=Unity;XFCE;GNOME;Pantheon;
- indicator-session-bzrAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror]
This version of indicator-session relies on dbus methods native to Unity for most of it's fuctions; it can be made to work by patching out the use of Unity dialogs, such as in indicator-session-pantheon-bzr
This version of indicator-session fails to interact with the session manager somehow; a (crudely hacked) version that uses systemd/logind instead is available indicator-session-systemdAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror]
About This Computer, Lock and Sound Settings (indicator-soundAUR or indicator-sound-pantheon-bzr) rely on gnome components that may not be installed, such as gnome-control-center and gnome-screensaver.
For Lock functionality (including "Ctrl+L" hotkey), replace gnome-screensaver with light-locker or XScreenSaver and a script that emulates the gnome-screensaver dbus.
No transparency in pantheon-terminal
Transparency in pantheon-terminal is not yet fully functional with GTK themes other than the elmentaryOS theme. Either use gtk-theme-elementaryAUR or add this code to your theme.
White icons in pantheon-files
Currently there seems to be a bug which displays the view icons in the top location in a white colour instead of black. This can be fixed by installing gtk-theme-elementary-bzrAUR or adding the following line to gtk-widgets.css
or gtk-widgets.css
of your gtk-theme-elementaryAUR theme:
GtkToolItem { color: @text_color; }
Wingpanel is transparent
Wingpanel is transparent by design when using the elementary GTK theme. It becomes black when a maximized window occupies your screen. However, using other GTK themes will produce a solid panel most of the time.
Corrupted graphics in canonical indicators
Indicators behave incorrectly with every theme I have tried. They are very ancient, all of them date back to 2012 because the newer indicators depend on Ubuntu patches, and they should be killed with fire anyway. Wingpanel is doing just that and I hope the next major release will ship their new plugin system.
Cannot interact with the LightDM Pantheon greeter
You need to delete /var/lib/lightdm/.pam_environment
. Do note however that this file is a workaround for the following LightDM bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1024482
Troubleshooting
Gala crashes on start
It appears that unconfigured gala tries to use default gnome wallpaper as a background. However, the corresponding file is absent unless you have gnome-themes-standard installed. Thus, install gnome-themes-standard to workaround the crash. It is safe to remove this package after you configure pantheon in a way you want.
How can I add new applications to the dock?
Either drag and drop a desktop file on it, or right click on a running application and select "Keep in dock". You can then reorder icons by drag and drop.
How can I change the default appearance such as GTK theme, font size, etc?
Use gnome-tweak-tool or see GTK+.
I do not have any mouse cursor
The 'gala' window manager is most likely not running. #Via .xinitrc[broken link: invalid section] Add 'gala' to the list of cerbere's monitored processes.
Wingpanel is empty except for Applications
The indicators that are displayed in the wingpanel are split into separate packages. #Installation[broken link: invalid section] Install additional indicators such as wingpanel-indicator-datetime-bzrAUR, indicator-powerAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] or indicator-soundAUR.
