Presentation
This page is written with absolute beginners in mind to help them to find the tools they need when using their desktop for the first time. It may also help to choose which desktop environment to use.
More information in the Xfce official website Another wiki page about |
Where are the configuration tools?
After the first reboot following the installation, your desktop looks like the screenshot below. To display the menu, click on the Mageia icon at the top left (marker 6). The green marks are for Mageia tools and the red ones for Xfce
tools.
- 1: Mageia mgaapplet, it is only visible when there is software to download. The red colour means updates are available for your Mageia release, for security reasons we advise you to accept them, to do so, click on the red icon and give your user password. The blue colour means a new Mageia version is available and prompts you to do a net install of it. You can ignore it as long as your Mageia release is supported and do the update installation by any other way of your choice.
- 2: Mageia net applet, it is visible if you are connected to a network. It gives you network information when the mouse is hovering over it. A left click gives access to the
Net Center
tool. A right click displays a menu to manage the network. - 3: The Mageia Control Center (MCC) is where all the Mageia tools are brought together. The applets marker 1 and marker 2 use MCC. See here for more information about MCC. MCC is the same for all the Desktop Environments. The first thing to do after an installation is to open MCC and to configure the media sources see here
- 4: The tool
Install & Remove Software
is also part of MCC. See here for more information about the Software Management,or here. - 5: MCC is so important that you have also an access from the task bar
- 6: Access to the menu and to the logout
- 7: If you click on
Mageia icon -> Settings
, a submenu (marker 7) is displayed, it contains tools given byXfce
to set your Desktop Environment. - 8:
Settings Manager
brings together theXfce
tools and allows you to set the desktop and windows appearance and behaviour.
What are the configuration tools for?
Here are the tools you can use to set up the main features and/or devices:
Note: When several tools are available to do the same action, they are in fact writing in the same configuration file, so there is no risk of conflict, use your preferred tool |
