Clark's Dotfiles

To Use:

1. Use yadm to clone this repo

2. yadm should automatically perform a bootstrap which will perform a number of post-processing steps.

3. Before cloning with yadm, be sure to set yadm config local.class <class>. I use the Desktop and Laptop classes, and one of these MUST be set for this to work.

4. However, yadm can't handle firefox profiles, so these must be done manually (it's the same userChrome profile for both the main Firefox and mail Firefox profiles):

ln -sf $HOME/.config/firefox/userChrome.css $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/\<profile\>/chrome/userChrome.css

5. Remember to enable custom user style in Firefox's about:config, setting toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in ALL profiles

6. A few files need to be sylinked or copied to locations in /etc or /usr/share. In lieu of having the bootstrap perform that, here are the commands:

7. $HOME/.config/grub/grub should be symlinked to /etc/default/grub, and then installed:

sudo ln -sf $HOME/.config/grub/grub /etc/default/grub
# Desktop
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

# Laptop
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/GRUB/grub.cfg

8. $HOME/.config/pacman/pacman.conf should be symlinked to /etc/pacman.conf:

sudo ln -sf $HOME/.config/pacman/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf

9. $HOME/.config/lightdm/lightdm.conf should be symlinked to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and $HOME/.config/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf should be COPIED to /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf (symlinking messes with LightDM-GTK-Greeter's permissions):

sudo ln -sf $HOME/.config/lightdm/lightdm.conf /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

sudo cp $HOME/.config/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

10. $HOME/.config/sysimages/icon.png and $HOME/.config/sysimages/lockscreen.png should be COPIED to /usr/share/icons/custom and /usr/share/backgrounds/custom respectively (again, symlinking messes with LightDM-GTK-Greeter's permissions):

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/icons/custom
sudo cp $HOME/.config/sysimages/icon.png /usr/share/icons/custom/icon.png
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/icons/custom/icon.png

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/backgrounds/custom
sudo cp $HOME/.config/sysimages/lockscreen.png /usr/share/backgrounds/custom/lockscreen.png
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/backgrounds/custom/lockscreen.png

11. On the Desktop, $HOME/.local/bin/multimonitor.sh should be symlinked to /usr/share/multimonitor.sh:

sudo ln -sf $HOME/.local/bin/multimonitor.sh /usr/share/multimonitor.sh
