## Removing grub timeout during bootup.
|
||||||
|
To remove the timeout grub shows during bootup, edit ```/etc/default/grub``` by modfying the ```GRUB_TIMEOUT``` value. Then run ```grub-mkconfig``` as sudo to update your grub configuration. Check out [this](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169948) post if something goes wrong.

## Getting xserver up.
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Graphics driver.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S xf86-video-vesa
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Xorg
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S xorg-server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# So you can run startx.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S xorg-xinit
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Xorg's default tiling manager
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S xorg-twm
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Xterm, so we actually get something on screen.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S xterm
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Copy a sane default of .xinitrc
|
||||||
|
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Get an x display session up.
|
||||||
|
startx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Auto login and startx
|
||||||
|
To do auto login [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Automatic_login_to_virtual_console):
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/override.conf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Service]
|
||||||
|
ExecStart=
|
||||||
|
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/agetty --autologin username --noclear %I 38400 linux
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To do auto startx [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc#Autostart_X_at_login):
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
#~/.zshrc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Tiling manager (I3-gaps).
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
#I3-gaps since it is a very awesome fork of i3 that adds a ton of functionality.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S i3-gaps-git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# For a wallpaper.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S feh imagemagick librsvg
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Replace TWM relevant command with just exec i3.
|
||||||
|
vim ~/.xinitrc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# And if you need to modify anything i3, like the keys:
|
||||||
|
# Mod1 -> ALT key
|
||||||
|
# Mod4 -> Windows key (This does not work with virtualbox!)
|
||||||
|
vim ~/.config/i3/config
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some quick additions to take advantage of gaps.
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Inside ~/.config/i3/config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for_window [class="^.*"] border pixel 2
|
||||||
|
gaps inner 12
|
||||||
|
smart_borders no_gaps
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Wallpaper
|
||||||
|
exec feh --bg-fill ~/wallpapers/wallpaper.jpg
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Resizing in virtualbox.
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Get virtualbox guest additions.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S virtualbox-guest-utils
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Load the virtualbox kernel modules upon bootup.
|
||||||
|
# Add vboxguest, vboxsf, and vboxvideo on new lines.
|
||||||
|
vim /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Add /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all to you .xinitrc before calling I3.
|
||||||
|
vim ~/.xinitrc
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Styling
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# First install xorg-xrdb for reading the xresources file.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S xorg-xrdb
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Add the powerline font.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S powerline-fonts-git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# And powerline itself.
|
||||||
|
yaourt -S python2-powerline-git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Add some goodies to our Xresources.
|
||||||
|
cat <<EOF > ~/.Xresources
|
||||||
|
URxvt.background: Black
|
||||||

URxvt.foreground: White
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
|
||||||
|
EOF
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Add powerline.zsh to our zshrc.
|
||||||
|
cat ". /usr/share/zsh/site-contrib/powerline.zsh" >> ~/.zshrc
|

```
