PCManFM on OpenBSD

PCManFM is easily installed through the package collection. Once it finishes installing, it will display a few post-installation notes. (They will show up in your xterm.) You will have to edit a few rc files and restart some daemons. Be sure to remember which rc files; if you forget which daemons are to be restarted, simply reboot.


If you aren't using GNOME, then it is very likely that the first time you start PCManFM, you will have an error message that talks about icons. To solve this, do the following:



  1. Make a .gtkrc.mine file in your home directory. Write gtk-icon-theme-name="Name of icon folder in icon directory".

  2. Make a .gtkrc-2.0 file, also in your home directory. Write include "/usr/local/share/themes/[name of theme]/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", enter, and include "/home/[your handle]/.gtkrc.mine".


The icon directory is /usr/local/share/icons/. The default theme is Raleigh.
