Dyamon how did you fix the mouse problem?

I changed "exec dbus-launch gala &" in " exec gala &"...not really sure it's a fix (it's luck!)

Btw I tried wingpanel-bzr (as metak suggested)...now i can see the topbar (but it's transparent) and the "Application" menu works. The indicators don't work properly, and there are those weird borders showed a few posts ago by another user.

No need to involve gala in .xinitrc, Dyamon. Just add gala to monitored processes in cerbere.

Those 'problems' with transparent panel and weird borders are most likely related to egtk theme since they both 'disappear' when I use Numix theme.

I've got gala in monitored services and still no mouse. And I've tried doing it with d-bus launch in .xinitrc as well. No luck. I have also uninstalled everything and now have the pantheon repositories configured in pacman too, so I'm getting consistant files with others here.

here a screenshot with some of the unity feature...

i haven't used the gnome-ubuntu packages, only vanilla arch+some external repo/custom packages... but noise is as unstable as ever... the session indicator don't work (must be compiled with the gtklogouthelper to have a fallback system...will use directly systemd istead of gnome-session-quit), mediakeys and osd won't work either (can be fixed with some script...)
well the logout and mediakeys might be solved with something like the old gnome-session-flashback!? (or the ubuntu version of gnome-session/gnome-settings-daemon, cinnamon-session work too but other problem arise...)

Alucryd · 2013-11-28 12:10:37

Here's another one, not many indicators because I don't really need any, I'm handling my session via command line, and would handle sound via multimedia keys if they worked. I believe they did at some point with gnome-settings-daemon, but this is probably me being delusional :\ I don't have that many issues with noise, btw the volume maxed out at launch is solved with this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … ication.29

GTK theme is Numix, icon theme is Numix Circle, and plank theme is Numix as well.

Wow, beautiful!

Numix is a really great theme You'll find nightlies on my repos: numix-themes-git, numix-icon-theme-git and numix-circle-icon-theme-git on the [alucryd] repo, and plank-theme-numix on the [pantheon] repo. It's also entirely compatible with GNOME 3.10.
The circle icon theme is still WIP, there are quite a few missing icons (compared the their regular icon theme), but they're filling the blanks real quick (they fallback to the regular theme in the meantime).

What should the screenshot tell me? I do not see the issue.

I wrote about these issues in my previous comment if you're referring to them (transparent panel and that rectangle around menus).

Try Numix theme (again, provided by alucryd in his repo) and both of those issues will go away.

Alucryd · 2013-12-03 10:49:46

As for hot corners, somebody already reported they wouldn't work while running gala on top of XFCE, I have no problem with them running pure Pantheon. You may change them with switchboard or directly via dconf-editor.

Side note: Scratch has been ported to GTK 3.10, install scratch-text-editor-bzr and enjoy the slick title bar, hopefully more Pantheon apps will follow.

With numix theme from alucryd repo

Hspasta · 2013-12-04 04:26:35

I've installed the following packages from the [pantheon] repo setup by Alucryd:

cerbere-bzr 45-1
dee 1.2.7-2
gala-bzr 363-1
gnome-menus2 3.0.1-3
gtk-theme-elementary-bzr 139-1
indicator-pantheon-session-bzr 241-7
libindicator-gtk3 12.10.1-3
libunity 6.12.0-3
pantheon-files 0.1.5-1
pantheon-session-bzr 57-1
pantheon-terminal 0.2.4.1-1
plank-bzr 940-1
slingshot-launcher-bzr 394-1
switchboard-bzr 410-1
wingpanel-bzr 154-1

I've tried booting it through gdm, but my system appears to hang. I see the wingpanel and plank, but no cursor or any keyboard response. Have I missed something? I didn't see anything related in the wiki.

illusionmist · 2013-12-08 11:57:06

The mutter38 branch of Gala merged.

pantheon-wallpaper is now not needed anymore for wallpaper drawing and alt-tab with Plank works just like it should on eOS. Pretty cool.

It's possible to make a meta package for a COMPLETE pantheon shell instalation? Like the "gnome" meta package

'gnome' is a lot more clever than a dumb meta package, it's a group name, it only provides core GNOME and you can even choose to not install all of it. For now, installing 'pantheon-session-bzr' will give you a working Pantheon environment as stated in the wiki. There is little point creating the 'pantheon' and 'pantheon-extra' groups now, especially since noise (which would belong to pantheon-extra) and plank (pantheon group) are already in [community] and I can't create 2 new groups for just 1 package each. As soon as more of Pantheon is ported to GNOME 3.10 and exhibits less issues, I'll move more parts, if not all, to [community] and create proper groups.

metak · 2013-12-11 08:54:59

@ Alucryd

What do you think about using this source for package 'pantheon-session-bzr'?

https://code.launchpad.net/~elementary- … n-settings rev61
...instead of...
https://code.launchpad.net/~elementary- … tings-luna rev57

Alucryd · 2013-12-11 08:56:55

Metak: Sounds good, I'll do that asap, thanks for the heads up.

Edit: Just pushed pantheon-terminal in [community], and I'm waiting for the next scratch release to push it as well. I also got rid of gala-mutter38-bzr and pantheon-wallpaper-bzr.

Great work guys!

Can't wait to see Pantheon DE working on Arch

kaslusimoes · 2013-12-20 22:35:01

hey guys, I configured my arch with xfce+plank+gala quite fine and I'm really happy with this already but I cant stop wondering:
is there any way to have eOS hot corners working on my case?

I'd really enjoy to have that "spread windows" or "show workspace" functioning..

Also, I don't know how but I magically made it work one time while I was configuring some other stuff (I don't remember what exactly, maybe LightDM, but I'm sure that I was trying Brightside at that time)!! But unfortunately I couldn't make it again... =/
