# Linux Essentials
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains everything essential to getting a running Linux installation going with xmonad, tmux,
|
|
|
|
|
lemonbar, and many other configurations. The current flavor of the month for me is Nix OS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
repository for the same thing. The directory structure is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. *dotfiles/* - This contains any related dotfiles
|
|
|
|
|
2. *scripts/* - This directory contains most of the important things to get the installation running
|
|
|
|
|
1. *scripts/sysinstall/* - This directory contains a number of scripts for configuring the system
|
|
|
|
|
2. *scripts/sysinit/* - This directory contains anything needed for system initialization
|
|
|
|
|
3. *scripts/solutions/* - This directory contains any fixes that can be run for various packages
|
|
|
|
|
4. *scripts/lemonbar/* - This directory contains any related lemonbar scripts
|
|
|
|
|
5. *scripts/diagnostics/* - This directory contains scripts for helping to diagnose problems
|
|
|
|
|
3. *installation_instructions* - This file contains a series of command you copy and paste during install of Arch
|
|
|
|
|
4. *nix/* - This contains all the stuff needed to get up and running with my nix configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take care with the dotfiles. My configurations change the terminal colors to be solarized dark. If you do not like them
|
|
|
|
|
they can be easily changed in the Xresources dotfile.

# Issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are of course a things that aren't covered (yet).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Thinkpad T440s function keys don't work (in the works)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Thinkpad T440s mousepad right-click and gestures do not work
|
|
|
|
|
3. No automated way to setup locker
|
|
|
|
|
4. No automated way to setup suspend on lid close
|
|
|
|
|
5. No chef script to do everything for you
|
|
|
|
|
6. Rustc - local libs aren't initially visible
|
|
|
|
|
1. Rustc requires you to manually enter sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib once so that it can find its libraries
|

# Software To Install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below is a not a comprehensive list of software you should install and configure. The *install_packages.sh* script is
|
|
|
|
|
a work in progress that will get the system up and running with everything I am using.

In order to install wallpapers properly, the xinitrc in this repository includes a line to start a task in the
|
|
|
|
|
background to show the wallpaper. If you use sh instead of zsh, change it appropriately.
