Hello and welcome
sudo apt-get install xfce4-session xfce4-goodies
Then logout from Moksha session. In greeter select XFCE session and type your password. It will log you in XFCE.

I am running XFCE.
I want to install Moksha DE alongside XFCE.
Isn't what you have suggested the other way round?

I have installed Bodhi 32 bit in my 13 yr old Netbook & it's running well. Quite fast. But because of the lowly specs (1GB RAM & Atom processor - not sure about its speed) unable to run the streaming services like Netflix. You tube also showed patchy videos.
But I like the clean & uncluttered DE.
Thats why I want to install Moksha DE alongside XFCE which I'm running in another 64 bit computer with 8 GB RAM.
By the way, this computer is a Lenovo convertible. Does Bodhi 64 bit support auto screen rotation?

Oh sorry, I just briefly read your post and answered. Installing Moksha on other platforms is not easy. I doubt there are some Moksha package maintainers. What Linux distro are you using?

MX Linux XFCE 21.2 Wild flower. This is Debian based without systemd. Moksha as it is currently implemented needs systemd. I am uncertain if it will compile and work without it. I have never tested that or tried that. However I started a project to write scripts to install Moksha and make a bodhi 'clone' on other distros. All i have so far is one script for ubuntu, but i plan on adding some scripts for various debian version. Have one started but I have not committed it to github. Still needs a little work. This project is sorta on hold tho as I wrap up the upcoming BL7 release. When I get back to it I will look at MX Linux and other non systemd distros and perhaps if necessary alter Moksha so it works better without systemd. |

I don't believe Moksha itself does, but if there's an app that does it for standard x11 based desktop, it should work with Bodhi.
Bodhi provides an app called "arandr" to control display settings and that's one way the user can manually set orientation. From command line you can use an xrandr command directly to rotate it. So all the auto-rotate app has to do is monitor whatever sensor your system has, and send xrandr the right command.
As worst case, you could set up a couple hotkeys, one for landscape, one for portrait, using moksha's key binding's to call xrandr. If you want further info lmk I can detail that process.
Oh and for watching youtube on that slow computer, give smtube a try. Most likely you'll be able to play high res videos without stutter, even when you can't even maintain 360p in a browser.
As for your MX Machine, I wonder if enlightenment would interest you? It's not moksha, but it's kinda similar becase Moksha was originally based on and older version of enlightenment, and it's in regular debian repos, so probably in MX....

I was curious, I have a MX Linux version 23 beta already in a VM, so tried enlightenment 25.4 (on top of previous plasma) straight from debian repo, seems to work fine. (Of course all the dependencies could be from MX repo if they made changes to support no systemd there, I didnt check other packages origin besides enlightenment itself).

I think one can choose, using the inbuilt option, to run MX in systemd.

Only one file uses systemd by default. In theory without systemd it should use something else. (see /etc/enlightenment/sysactions.conf on an installed system). I have never tested installing on a non-systemd distro or installation. Since our e17 fork we have made many changes to the various make files and configure.ac file so it may or may not work as it should. |
