DroplineGnome3_10_Systemd

Eugene Wissner

Dropline GNOME 3.10.x With Systemd

Systemd will Change Slackware and we are not responsible if this install will break your Slackware system

When building from dropline build system.

Install first the following packages: upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new <package location>

cracklib

pam

libpwquality

shadow

python3

systemd
here you need to replace udev (upgradepkg udev%systemd)

dbus

dbus-python3

json-c

than reboot your system with systemd.

than you can do a "./dbs build_all" to build all packages or "./dbs build <package name>" to do a single package

If you do not follow this, service files will not be created and you will be unable to login your system

Look into etc/compile-order for the packages that we rebuild for either udev lib or service files

Dropline GNOME 3.10 with Systemd will be build on a clean 14.1 system.

Required extra Install
Info

bash-completion
Needed by several packages - slackpkg install bash-completion

setuptools
setup tools for python3 - we dont need to ship this, it is only for building

Some of the key things that will change from normal Dropline 3.8 on Slackware 14.0

Gnome and "startx" with systemd

First, create a dedicated login wrapper:
File/usr/local/sbin/x11loginX11 vt login wrapper
---

!/bin/sh

exec /bin/login "${@}" START_X11=1
---

This causes the user to be logged in with START_X11=1 environment variable set. Then, tell getty to use that file instead of the default /bin/login:
File/etc/systemd/system/x11.serviceX11 autologin service using login wrapper
---
[Unit]
After=systemd-user-sessions.service

[Service]
ExecStart?=/sbin/mingetty --autologin username --loginprog=/usr/local/sbin/x11login --noclear tty8 38400

[Install]
WantedBy?=multi-user.target
---
Finally, modify bashrc (or equivalent) to use the variable rather than guessing:
File~/.bashrcX11 autostart checking dedicated variable
---
if [[ ${START_X11} == 1 ]]; then

unset START_X11
exec startx

fi
---
