I got a few archs running gnome and GDM, and I really like the GDM theme that comes with archs gdm package. Note that this group builds on the gnome group. The base desktop consists of GNOME Shell, a plugin for the Mutter window manager. It can be installed separately with gnome shell. Note mutter acts as a composite manager for the desktop, employing hardware graphics acceleration to provide effects aimed at reducing screen clutter. The GNOME session manager automatically detects if your video driver is capable of running GNOME Shell and if not, falls back to software rendering using llvmpipe.

GNOME Classic is a traditional desktop layout with a similar interface to GNOME 2, using pre activated extensions and parameters. Hence it is more a customized GNOME Shell than a truly distinct mode. GNOME on Xorg runs GNOME Shell using Xorg. Starting GNOMEGNOME can be started either graphically, using a display manager, or manually from the console. Note Support for screen locking in GNOME is provided by GDM. If GNOME is not started using GDM, you will have to use another screen locker to provide this functionality see List of applicationsSecurityScreen lockers. Graphically.

When the GNOME session is used, GNOME applications will be run using Wayland. See the current status of Wayland for GNOME applications at GNOME Applications under Wayland. For debugging cases, the GTK manual lists options and environment variables. Navigation. To learn how to use the GNOME shell effectively read the GNOME Shell Cheat Sheet it highlights GNOME shell features and keyboard shortcuts. Features include task switching, keyboard use, window control, the panel, overview mode, and more. A few of the shortcuts are. Super m show message tray. Super a show applications menu. Alt Tab cycle active applications Alt the key above Tab on US keyboard layouts cycle windows of the application in the foreground Alt F2, then enter r or restart restart the shell in case of graphical shell problems only in Xlegacy mode, not in Wayland mode. Legacy names Note. Some GNOME programs have undergone name changes where the applications name in documentation and about dialogs has been changed but the executable name has not. A few such applications are listed in the table below. Tip Searching for the legacy name of an application in the Shell search bar will successfully return the application in question. For instance, searching for nautilus will return Files. Current. Document Viewer. Disk Usage Analyser. Eo. G Eye of GNOME. Passwords and Keys Seahorse. Configuration. The GNOME System Settings panel gnome control center and GNOME applications use the dconf configuration system to store their settings. You can directly access the dconf database using the gsettings or dconf command line tools. This also allows you to configure settings not exposed by the user interfaces. Up until GNOME 3. GNOME settings daemon, which could be run outside of a GNOME session using. GNOME 3. 2. 4 however replaced the GNOME settings daemon with several separate settings plugins usrlibgnome settings daemongsd. These plugins are now controlled via desktop files under etcxdgautostart org. Settings. Daemon. To run these plugins outside of a GNOME session you will now need to copyedit the appropriate desktop entries to. The configuration is usually performed user specific, this section does not cover how to create configuration templates for multiple users. System settings. Color. The daemon colord reads the displays EDID and extracts the appropriate color profile. Most color profiles are accurate and no setup is required however for those that are not accurate, or for older displays, color profiles can be put in. Date time. If the system has a configured Network Time Protocol daemon, it will be effective for GNOME as well. The synchronization can be set to manual control from the menu, if required. To show the date in the top bar, execute. Additionally, to show week numbers in the calendar opened on the top bar, execute. Default applications. Upon installing GNOME for the first time, you may find that the wrong applications are handling certain protocols. For example, totem opens videos instead of a previously used VLC. Some of the associations can be set from system settings via System Details Default applications. For other protocols and methods see Default applications for configuration. Mouse and touchpad. To help reduce touchpad interference you may wish to implement the settings below via gnome control center. Disable touchpad while typing Disable scrolling Disable tap to click. Depending on your device, other configuration settings may be available, but not exposed via the default GUI. For example, a different touchpad click method gsettings range org. Network. Network. Manager is the native tool of the GNOME project to control network settings from the shell. Install the networkmanager package and enable the Network. Manager. service systemd unit. HOW Install GDM Different distributions do this slightly differently. Im not familiar with Kanotix but I think it is based on the Debian way. Have a look at the relevant section of the Debian Policy Manual which is an excellent bit of documentation, in my opinion http www. My understanding in summary. All init scripts reside in etcinit. Links to these scripts not copies but symlinks are in the etcrc. N. d directories, where N is the different runlevels I think 1 5. The link names take the form Xxxnamewhere X is either S start or K killxx is a two digit numberand name is the name of the script. Init scripts by convention include at least three commands start, stop and restart. So thatetcinit. Whenever the system changes runlevel usually startup and shutdown all the scripts that are linked to in the. N. d directory are executed. Those beginning with S are started, those with K are stopped, and they are executed in order of that two digit number because some things are dependent on others. Important You generally dont need to write your own scripts. They usually come included with the package and get installed with the application. So you should be able to findetcinit. You generally dont have to create your own links. There is usually some utility to do this for you. In Debian there is even a nice graphical one I think its called sys. V init editor, or something like that have a look in your menu. Or maybe you dont have a menu sorry, I forgot in which case you need a command line tool, in Debian this is update rc. You may have to specify what order to start up your script. Use a high number say 9. Have a look at whatever else is starting in. And remember that what is started should also be stopped. So you need an entry in. I think thats right, but not certain. These entries have a different form, if I remember correctly, so youd better do some reading from the official source now.
