Install Xfce 4.8 on Debian Squeeze with this simple script

From my old blog of Xfce I bring you this simple script to install Xfce 4.8 on Debian Squeeze.

What do we need for this?

• Internet connection.
• Have installed Debian without graphic environment preferably.

Whats Next?

We down this script and we run it as root.

What would we lack?

This script does not download the plugins (goodies) what can we put to Xfce, therefore that would have to be done manually, but that is for another post 😀

And here is what he gave us DebianSick:

1.- As superuser do the command:

ln -s /usr/etc/xdg/ /etc/

2.- Edit the /etc/slim.conf file

editor /etc/slim.conf

3.- Make the following change:

login_cmd           exec /bin/bash – ~/.xinitrc %session
#login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session

4.- We adjust the start of xfce4

cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc /home/tu_usuario/.xinitrc
chown tu_usuario:tu_usuario /home/tu_usuario/.xinitrc
chmod +x /home/tu_usuario/.xinitrc

5.- Applications on the panel (wicd, guake, etc) as a normal user we do:

mkdir ~/.config/autostart/
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/* .config/autostart/


6.- We restart the system as superuser:

reboot

Ready!
