# Dotfiles



acro5piano's personal dotfiles. It aims to automate setup my development PC idempotently.



Core technologies:



- Arch Linux

- Sway

- Alacritty

- Brave Browser



  

    

  

  

    

  



  

    

  

  

    

  



# Setup process



The following document assumes you have:



- A UEFI boot device

- No multie boot device (Windows multi boot document below)



## Install Arch Linux



- Create arch linux install usb.

  - download the latest iso image

  - `cp /path/to/iso /dev/sdX`

- Boot to usb



### File system (UEFI)



select disk to write arch linux



```sh

cfdisk /dev/nvme0n1

```



- Create a partition for UEFI `/dev/nvme0n1p1`

  - create a new partition and set `1G` size for it

  - Set the type to `EFI System`

- Create a partition for swap (for hibernation) `/dev/nvme0n1p2`

  - create a new partition and set `40G` size for it (I have 24GB machine)

  - Set the type to `Linux swap`

- Create a partition for main `/dev/nvme0n1p3`

  - create a new partition and set maximum size for it

  - Set the type to `Linux Filesystem`

- write out



Swap is required for hibernation.



![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9a2e3df2-d1c4-43ce-b94f-a3535c473800)



```sh

# UEFI

mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/nvme0n1p1

mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p2

swapon /dev/nvme0n1p2

mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p3

mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

mkdir /mnt/boot

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot

```



### Install base system



```sh

# Connect to a Network

iwctl



pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux-zen linux-zen-headers linux-firmware iwd python git vim neovim

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab



# Enter new arch

arch-chroot /mnt



# Configure iwd

cat <<'EOF'| sudo tee /etc/iwd/main.conf

[General]

EnableNetworkConfiguration=true

EOF



# Connect to a Network

iwctl



# install /boot

bootctl install

```



Create `/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf`



```

title Arch Linux Zen

linux /vmlinuz-linux-zen

initrd /initramfs-linux-zen.img



options root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx acpi_backlight=native rw resume=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

```



Add user:



```

# add user

useradd --create-home kazuya

passwd kazuya

gpasswd -a kazuya wheel

EDITOR=vim sudo visudo

```



Then exit and reboot.



Notes:



- Python is required because we use Ansible later.

- If you have any problems on resolving name, edit `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf` and fix dns to `8.8.8.8`.

- systemd-boot is pre-installed and simple to use than Grub unless dual boot with Windows.



## Add user



Run the following commands as root:



```sh



visudo /etc/sudoers.d/admin



# Recommended config:

#   %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

#   %wheel ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart iwd

#   %wheel ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart bluetooth

#   %wheel ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/kazuya/bin/connect-client-vpn

#   %wheel ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/kazuya/bin/connect-client-vpn-stop



exit

```



and login as kazuya:



```sh

localhost login> kazuya

password:

```



## Install dotfiles



then install dotfiles:



```sh

cd ~

git clone [email protected]:/acro5piano/dotfiles $HOME/.dotfiles

cd $HOME/.dotfiles

python -m ensurepip

export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/

pip install ansible

ansible-galaxy collection install community.general kewlfft.aur

ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass ansible/main.yml

```



For groups, please take a look at:



https://github.com//acro5piano/dotfiles/blob/e0ef379e4326bd102abddc28bd5946b52cbeee06/pkg_init/arch#L1



## Copy large & secure files



```

mkdir $HOME/var

scp -r 192.168.xxx.yyy:/home/kazuya/var/music $HOME/var/music

scp -r 192.168.xxx.yyy:/home/kazuya/.aws $HOME/.aws

scp -r 192.168.xxx.yyy:/home/kazuya/.ssh $HOME/.ssh

```



## Bluetooth



By default bluetooth connection takes too much time. Here is the fix: https://gist.github.com/andrebrait/961cefe730f4a2c41f57911e6195e444#enable-bluetooth-fast-connect-config



# Maintain



```

# Sync dotfiles only ansible-playbook ansible/main.yml --tags dotfiles



# Install pacman dep only

ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass ansible/main.yml --tags pacman

```



# OSX



```

ansible-playbook ansible/main.yml --tags dotfiles,misc,npm,pip,gem --extra-vars "os=mac"

```



# Windows Multi boot



For Windows Multi boot environment, do this before `cfdisk` phase:



- **On windows**,

  - Reduce Windows partition to minimum 80GB

  - Create a blank partition for Linux



And use this commands for the initial setup, replacing `systemd-boot` thing (as Grub is easier than systemd-boot if you do multi-boot):



```sh

# systemd-boot

mkdir /boot

mount /dev/sda1 /boot



# Grub

os-prober

grub-install

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg



# Grub options

nvim /etc/default/grub # Enable this line: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

```



# Windows + WSL2 Arch



For Windows, use them:



- Wezterm (To support select-to-copy on Surface touch screen)

- WSL2 Arch

- PowerToys (To customize key bindings on Browsers)



For Arch installation, see the awesome https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL



### Tweaks of installation process



Before git clone:



```bash

export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/

sudo pacman -Syu git openssh

```



Replace the Ansile command with:



```

ansible-playbook wsl/ansible/main.yml

ansible-playbook ansible/main.yml --tags pip,npm,misc

chsh -s /usr/bin/fish

```



# Enable hibernation with swap partition



Linux supports swapfile, but it is not reliable as of 2024. swapfile causes the `hibernate inconsistent memory map detected` error while resuming.



Specify swap partition



```bash

# /etc/fstab



UUID=7efab515-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-7e17afceeacb none swap defaults 0 0

```



Modify HOOKS in mkinitcpio config like this:



```

# /etc/mkinitcpio.conf



HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard modconf block filesystems resume fsck)

```



Then run



```

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

```



Add resume to the kernel parameter:



```

# /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf



options root=UUID=63f7f18e-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-e3fc0e2e4666 resume=UUID=7efab515-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-7e17afceeacb acpi_backlight=native rw

```



You also may want to change the power button behavior:



```

/etc/systemd/logind.conf



# ...

HandlePowerKey=hibernate

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

# ...

```



# Tweak Bluetooth config



Follow https://gist.github.com/acro5piano/9606ce598e04c10dde1948cf7e098f80



Bluez 5.73 may contain a bug which the service hangs up after hibernation. For the time being, let's use 5.72.



```

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bluez-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bluez-libs-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bluez-utils-5.72-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

```



# Backlight is wrong



If `light` does not work properly, try to modify the kernel parameter:



```

~> cat /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

options root=UUID=... acpi_backlight=native rw

```

# ChatGPT CLI



```

curl -L -o chatgpt https://github.com/kardolus/chatgpt-cli/releases/latest/download/chatgpt-linux-amd64 && chmod +x chatgpt && sudo mv chatgpt /usr/local/bin/

```



# Joplin



```

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

```



# pnpm completion



Not works. use Yarn completion for now.



```

pnpm completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/pnpm.fish

```
