# Xfce Desktop Environment {#sec-xfce}
|
||||
|
||||
To enable the Xfce Desktop Environment, set
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.enable = true;
|
||||
services.displayManager.defaultSession = "xfce";
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, *picom* can be enabled for nice graphical effects, some
|
||||
example settings:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
services.picom = {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
fade = true;
|
||||
inactiveOpacity = 0.9;
|
||||
shadow = true;
|
||||
fadeDelta = 4;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Some Xfce programs are not installed automatically. To install them
|
||||
manually (system wide), put them into your
|
||||
[](#opt-environment.systemPackages) from `pkgs.xfce`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Thunar {#sec-xfce-thunar-plugins}
|
||||
|
||||
Thunar (the Xfce file manager) is automatically enabled when Xfce is
|
||||
enabled. To enable Thunar without enabling Xfce, use the configuration
|
||||
option [](#opt-programs.thunar.enable) instead of adding
|
||||
`pkgs.xfce.thunar` to [](#opt-environment.systemPackages).
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to add extra plugins to Thunar, add them to
|
||||
[](#opt-programs.thunar.plugins). You shouldn't just add them to
|
||||
[](#opt-environment.systemPackages).
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting {#sec-xfce-troubleshooting}
|
||||
|
||||
Even after enabling udisks2, volume management might not work. Thunar
|
||||
and/or the desktop takes time to show up. Thunar will spit out this kind
|
||||
of message on start (look at `journalctl --user -b`).
|
||||
|
||||
```plain
|
||||
Thunar:2410): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is caused by some needed GNOME services not running. This is all
|
||||
fixed by enabling "Launch GNOME services on startup" in the Advanced
|
||||
tab of the Session and Startup settings panel. Alternatively, you can
|
||||
run this command to do the same thing.
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /compat/LaunchGNOME -s true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is necessary to log out and log in again for this to take effect.
