# My Dotfiles

||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
as well as any scripts I write for those programs.

Installers are located in ~/.local/installers/ to automate installation.

||
|
|
in the future.

|
||
|

|
|
## Post Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Change Mirrors for Void
|
||
|
|
(NOTE: this is done for you in the void-install.sh script now.)
|
||
|
|
Default mirrors for void are located in Europe. Recommend changing them to a closer location.
|
||
|
|
A list of mirrors can be found at voidlinux.org/download at the bottom of the page.
|
||
|
|
Follow instructions on voids documentation at docs.voidlinux.org to change to desired mirror.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Mount Secondary Drives
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify /etc/fstab to add any secondary drives. Example entry can be seen below. Replace UUID value with UUID of the device you wish to mount, and the \<dir> entry with the directory you wish to mount to. **Ensure the directory you are mounting to exists**. If the directory does not exist, the system will likely have issues booting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see a list of devices and their UUIDs, run: `$ blkid`. Recommend using UUID instead of device files such as /dev/sda1 because drives may not always be mounted to the same /dev/ file. For more information read [the arch wiki entry](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
#<device> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <fsck>
|
||
|
|
UUID=b7d683d4-9337-433b-8d33-1035ef7dbcdf /home/user/HDD ext4 defaults 0 2
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To mount a NAS drive at boot:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
//IP_ADDRESS/storage/ /path/to/mount/dir/ cifs workgroup=WORKGROUP,users,auto,username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD 0 0
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Enable Apparmor
|
||
|
|
Add `apparmor=1` and `security=apparmor` to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also edit /etc/default/apparmor and add line:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`APPARMOR=complain` or `APPARMOR=enforce`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then generate grub config:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### wifi
|
||
|
|
ensure you enabled the wpa_supplicant service with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`$ sudo ln -s /etc/sv/wpa_supplicant /var/service`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if you know the name of the network you wish to connect to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. change to root user:
|
||
|
|
`$ su`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. run command:
|
||
|
|
`$ wpa_supplicant -B -i INTERFACE -c <(wpa_passphrase SSID PASSWORD)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INTERFACE = name of wifi interface, likey: wlp3s0 or wlan0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSID = name of the network
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PASSWORD = the password of the network
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
use command:
|
||
|
|
`$ ip link show`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to get a list of network interfaces available
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. If you can now connect to the internet then you can add this network to your config file so that your computer will automatically connect to it. to do this run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`sudo sh -c 'wpa_passphrase SSID PASSWORD >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your wifi should now work at startup. It may take a moment to connect. this will need to be done for any wifi network you wish to connect to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### st
|
||
|
|
If you have weird issues with st such as a key writing multiple characters, backspace not working etc
|
||
|
|
try running the following in the st directory (~/devel/repos/st/ if using the installer):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`$ tic -sx st.info`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### add locales
|
||
|
|
uncomment locale(s) you wish to add in /etc/default/libc-locales then run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`$ sudo xbps-reconfigure -f glibc-locales`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### set system fonts
|
||
|
|
modify alias tags within <fontconfig> in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
<alias>
|
||
|
|
<family>FONT TYPE</family> #serif, sans-serif,sans, monospace
|
||
|
|
<prefer><family>NAME OF FONT TO SET TO</family></prefer> #NotoSerif,NotoSans, Hack, etc.
|
||
|
|
</alias>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### modify visudo
|
||
|
|
To be able to use reboot, poweroff and shutdown without password(needed for sxhkd bindings to work):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`$ sudo visudo`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add this line replacing user_name with your user name
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`user_name ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### fix low resolution in grub/tty
|
||
|
|
To get list of available resolutions press c in grub then type `vbeinfo` at the prompt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then add line to /etc/default/grub
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080x30`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
then generate grub config:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
