custom fonts

docs

First create the directory /usr/local/share/fonts/ttf/ and place any custom fonts under it

XMonad

First install stack. Take the static version from AUR to avoid the plethora of Haskell dependencies.

rua install stack-static

Clone the sources in /opt/xmonad

git clone https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad
git clone https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib

Add the configuration file from xmonad/xmonad.hs and init the project to generate the stack.yaml file

stack init

Build & install

stack install

Xmonad expects xmonad.hs and stack.yaml to be in ~/.config/xmonad/
Use symlinks instead (does not make sense to have source files under the config directory)

cd ~/.config/xmonad
ln -s /opt/xmonad/xmonad.hs xmonad.hs
ln -s /opt/xmonad/stack.yaml stack.yaml

source: https://xmonad.org/INSTALL.html

XMobar

Clone the sources and build the project

git clone https://codeberg.org/xmobar/xmobar.git

Override stack.yaml to only build needed features

cp xmobar/stack.yaml .

Add xmobarrc to ~/config/xmobar/.

Finally build and install it

stack install

sudo pacman -S xdg-user-dirs
xdg-user-dirs-update

source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_user_directories

Screen lock

Install i3lock-color from AUR

On suspend

Copy systemd_unit/suspend@.service to /etc/systemd/system/ and enable it

sudo systemctl enable suspend@pierre.service

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate#Sleep_hooks

xwallpaper is spawned by XMonad
The wallpaper image is defined by $BG_PRIMARY env variable
eg. in .xprofile

export BG_PRIMARY=$HOME/Pictures/dark_ocean.png

notes

The following notes are relevant to the installation of ArchLinux.

solve icon problem for apps installed through Flatpak

cd /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications

rename the links to match this format: obs.desktop, vlc.desktop

journal

To prevent the journal to take 4Gb space of disk memory copy the configuration file 00-journal-size.conf (from the conf dir in this repo) into /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/ directory (create it)

(the default is 4Gb)

source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Journal#Journal_size_limit

SSH agent

Install gnome-keyring and libsecret

Enable the following systemd user unit (⚠ no sudo)

systemctl --user enable gcr-ssh-agent.socket

Set the env var SSH_AUTH_SOCK to /run/user/1000/gcr/ssh (.xprofile/ fish config)

To set the scrollbar width set the following property in about:config

widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 16

NOTE: the widget.non-native-theme.enable should be set to true
