Objective

Minimize the amount of manual work to configure a fresh Manjaro KDE installation to my liking.

Start with a sudo pacman -Syu

Cloning the repository

1. Get the SSH key. Save the content of the .ssh/id_rsa file to ~/.ssh/id_rsa
2. Restrict the permissions for the file with chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
3. Add the key to the agent:

eval $(ssh-agent -s) && \
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

4. Clone the repo with git clone git@github.com:Jafner/dotfiles.git ~/Git/dotfiles
5. Update the system with sudo pacman -Syu

Installing Dotfiles

Set Up SSHD

Run chmod +x ./setup_sshd.sh && ./setup_sshd.sh

Install Flatpaks

Run chmod +x ./install_flatpaks.sh && ./install_flatpaks.sh You will need to accept some prompts.

mkdir -p ~/.themes && cp -r /usr/share/themes/Breeze-Dark ~/.themes/
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=~/.themes

Install pamidi

Install xdotool with sudo pacman -S xdotool Run chmod +x ./install_pamidi.sh && ./install_pamidi.sh

Install Lutris

Just run chmod +x ./install_lutris.sh && ./install_lutris.sh It's so many packages oh my god

Install other applications

Other Stuff

Set Flatpaks to use Breeze-Dark Gtk3 Theme

flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark

Ferdi

Configure Ferdi by logging into Ferdi sync. This will set up the basic apps, but custom apps will still need to be copied into the dev recipes folder.

Add the custom recipes (with mkdir -p ~/.var/app/com.getferdi.Ferdi/config/Ferdi/recipes/dev && cp -r ~/Git/dotfiles/.var/app/com.getferdi.Ferdi/config/Ferdi/recipes/dev ~/.var/app/com.getferdi.Ferdi/config/Ferdi/recipes/dev).

Autostart

1. Set Spotify, PulseEffects, and Ferdi to start automatically.
2. chmod +x window_reposition.sh
3. sudo cp .scripts/window_reposition.sh /usr/bin/window_reposition
4. Run the window_reposition script at startup.

Tiling and corner-snapping for GNOME Desktop

Using GNOME, disable all extensions. Install Tiling Assistant Set Windows and Screen Edges gaps to 12px.

Virtualization

Steps 1 through 4 can be handled automatically by running install_virtualization.sh.

1. Install necessary packages. sudo pacman -S virt-manager qemu vde2 ebtables dnsmasq bridge-utils openbsd-netcat ovmf

2. Prepare the bootloader (GRUB)

sudo sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3"/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash apparmor=1 security=apparmor amd_iommu=on iommu=pt udev.log_priority=3"/' /etc/default/grub && \
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

3. Configure libvirtd

sudo sed -i 's/#unix_sock_group = "libvirt"/unix_sock_group = "libvirt"/' /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf && \
sudo sed -i 's/#unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"/unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"/' /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf && \
sudo bash -c 'echo "log_filters=\"1:qemu\"" >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf' && \
sudo bash -c 'echo "log_outputs=\"1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log\"" >> /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf' && \
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER && \
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd && \
sudo systemctl start libvirtd && \
sudo sed -i 's/#user = "root"/user = "joey"/' /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf && \
sudo sed -i 's/#group = "root"/group = "joey"/' /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf && \
sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

4. Dump the GPU vbios. Run the script to dump the vbios.

5. Patch the GPU vbios with Bless Hex Editor. Follow Mutahar's guide (timestamped) for this bit. Save the patched version as vbios_patched.rom. Restrict its permissions with chmod 660 vbios_patched.rom && sudo chown joey:joey vbios_patched.rom then copy it to the share folder with sudo mkdir /usr/share/vbios && sudo cp vbios_patched.rom /usr/share/vbios/vbios.rom

6. Set up the VM. Follow page 5 of the RisingPrism wiki for details on configuring the VM.

7. Reboot to effect the changes we made to the bootloader.
