dotfiles

This repository contains my dotfiles. Please mind that my dotfiles are strongly opinionated.

Installation

The following commands create a checkout in your home directory. For this, a detached head is used with the .git directory stored in ~/.cfg.

git clone --bare https://github.com/nicholasdille/dotfiles $HOME/.cfg
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.cfg/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
rm ~/.bash_logout ~/.bashrc ~/.profile
config checkout

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

To create a new distribution, download a root filesystem, e.g. Ubuntu Hirsute, then import it using wsl.exe --import my_name c:\wsl\ubuntu ~\Downloads\hirsute-server-cloudimg-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar.gz. Afterwards set a username as documented here.

For pretty prompts (based on powerline) you need to install a proper terminal emulator and fonts. I recommend the Windows Terminal with Cascadia Code.

Hibernate

1. Disable Secure Boot

2. Swap partition with minimum size of RAM

3. Encrypted swap is highly recommended

4. If you are using LUKS and LVM but your swap partition is too small:

   lvresize -L -50GB --resizefs /dev/mapper/vgzorin-root
   lvresize -L +50GB /dev/mapper/vgzorin-swap_1
   mkswap /dev/mapper/vgzorin-swap_1

5. Modify /etc/default/grub so that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=/dev/mapper/vgzorin-swap_1"

6. Create /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume with content: RESUME=/dev/mapper/vgzorin-swap_1

7. Test hibernation as superuser: sudo systemctl hibernate

8. Create a policy in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/hibernate.rules to allow hibernate by users:

   polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
       if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate" ||
           action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions" ||
           action.id == "org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate" ||
           action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.handle-hibernate-key" ||
           action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-ignore-inhibit") {
           return polkit.Result.YES;
       }
   });
   

9. Test hibernation as user: systemctl hibernate

10. Install Hibernate Status Button
