## 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
|
|
URxvt.scrollbar: false
|
|
URxvt.font xft:Sauce Code Powerline:size=9
|
|
|
|
Xft.dpi: 109
|
|
Xft.antialias: true
|
|
Xft.rgba: rgba
|
|
Xft.hinting: true
|
|
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
# Add powerline.zsh to our zshrc.
|
|
cat ". /usr/share/zsh/site-contrib/powerline.zsh" >> ~/.zshrc
|
|
```

## Driver for wifi OurLink AC600
|
|
[Forum](http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ourlink-ac600-wireless-usb-adapter-not-working-on-newly-installed-ubuntu-gnome-16-10-a-4175597852/) says to use [this](https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au) but it [doesn't](https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/pull/46) compile with newest kernel. Instead, [this](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-v5-dkms-git/) does and seems to work fine.

## Vmware Guest
|
|
The [Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware/Installing_Arch_as_a_guest) has a decent bit of good info, but if using Antergos then a lot is done for you. Networking and auto window resizing works, but clipboard is still iffy. For that, you must install [some](https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/2ipvmw/vmware_copypaste_not_working_openvmtools/) packages via ```yaourt -S gtkmm libxtst``` and restart the machine.
