Liri is a desktop environment with modern design and features. Liri is the merge between Hawaii, Papyros and the Liri Project.
Warning: Liri is currently in alpha stage and there might be issues.
Contents
1 Installation
Add the following lines to your /etc/pacman.conf file:
/etc/pacman.conf
[liri-unstable] SigLevel = Optional TrustAll Server = https://repo.liri.io/archlinux/unstable/x86_64
Then run:
sudo pacman -Su --noconfirm --force --needed liri-git --assume-installed qt5-webengine
Warning: liri-browser-git is dependent on nonfree Qt-WebEngine which is just a virtual package in Parabola, the Liri browser will mostly face libraries issues due to missing Qt-WebEngine.
1.1 Other applications
For additional functionality, you may wish to install the following:
- liri-files — Material design file manager for Liri.
- liri-player — Material design media player for Liri.
- liri-settings — Settings application and modules for Liri.
- liri-terminal — Terminal for Liri.
2 Starting the desktop
2.1 Run with SDDM or GDM
Login managers that support Wayland such as SDDM and GDM can run a Liri session.
2.2 Run from a tty
Log in to a tty and type:
$ liri-session
The session manager automatically detects the hardware and will run the compositor accordingly.
However the mode can be forced, for example to force nested mode and run inside Weston:
$ liri-session -platform wayland
Note: Do not use ~/.xinitrc to start Liri. Xinit is commonly used to start Xorg, but Liri uses Wayland, which is a newer graphical protocol.
