Configuration scripts and notes in literate style configuration using Org-Babel. The configurations kept here are for the following machines:

  1. euclid-red that runs Manjaro with StumpWM (X). This is primarily a keyboard driven system (Legion Y720) and stays at my home workspace.
  2. euclid-blue that runs Manjaro with GNOME (Wayland). This is a convertible laptop (HP Spectre x360) that I use to move around, read, and take notes.
  3. euclid-black is my Android based cell phone.
  4. euclid-white is an M1 Macbook Air (2020) from my current workplace.
  5. euclid-silver is a Raspberry PI 4 with Home Assistant OS used for home automation and other home network applications.

Name prefix has a historical reason. There are a few other cloud machines other than these. The repository itself has a few other items and assets that might not be connected with the process in this org file.

1. Basic packages & shell setup

My current OS is Manjaro across almost all Linux systems so this stage is common across my two main machines. 

uname -a

Linux euclid-red 5.15.89-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 18 20:37:11 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Install yay before going ahead: 

pacman -S yay

For blue: 

yay -S $(grep -vE "^\s*#" ./packages/manjaro.euclid-blue | tr "\n" " ")

For red: 

yay -S $(grep -vE "^\s*#" ./packages/manjaro.euclid-red | tr "\n" " ")

Now that fish is installed, we will set it as the default shell. 

chsh -s $(which fish)

Install fish packages 

# Install fisher
curl -sL https://git.io/fisher | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher

for p in (cat ./fish/.config/fish/fishfile)
    fisher install $p
end

stow -t ~/ fish
stow -t ~/ git
stow -t ~/ scripts

2. Window Management

All of these are for the main machine running StumpWM. 

stow -t ~/ stumpwm
stow -t ~/ dunst
stow -t ~/ picom
stow -t ~/ redshift

2.1. Rofi

Use theme set up from here and the following colors. 

/* colors */
* {
  al:      #00000000;
  bg:      #2E3440ff;
  se:      #374C6Bff;
  fg:      #D8DEE9cc;
  ac:      #81A1C1ff;
  red:     #434C5Eff;
  green:   #475C6Bff;
  yellow:  #8a9899ff;
  blue:    #42A5F5ff;
  purple:  #B48EADff;
  cyan:    #4DD0E1ff;
}

2.2. Stumpwm

Install sbcl from distro package (this might cause problems on system updates and I will have to make switch to the pre-built download). On Manjaro this gets the most recent version. Then fresh install quicklisp (do update-dist also).

  • Delete cache of system *fasls and quicklisp
  • Load following packages for building stumpwm
(ql:quickload '("clx" "cl-ppcre" "alexandria"))

Then 

mkdir ~/stumpwm
cd ~/stumpwm
git clone https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm
git clone https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm-contrib ./contrib
# Checkout some reasonable version
./autogen.sh
env SBCL_HOME="/usr/lib/sbcl" ./configure
make
sudo make install

Now to make my config work, we need to set up clx-truetype which is not available in quicklisp now. Thankfully a fork is maintained that we need to clone in ~/.quicklisp/local-projects. This is also a fork that resolves an old memory leak. 

git clone https://github.com/goose121/clx-truetype.git

Finally I have set Iosevka NF font in my config which needs to be installed too.

Here goes the xinitrc 

#!/bin/sh

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
exec stumpwm

chmod +x ~/.xinitrc

I might also need to disable the default display manager. See this.

There might be a font loading issue which is fixed by (xft:cache-fonts).

3. Fonts

Few fonts are already installed when I install the basic packages. Rest are listed here.

3.1. Custom Iosevka

git clone git@github.com:lepisma/iosevka-lepisma /tmp/iosevka-lepisma
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/iosevka/
mv /tmp/iosevka-lepisma/ttf/patched/*ttf /usr/share/fonts/iosevka/

Override medium fonts 

yes | cp iosevka/iosevka-lepisma-regular.ttf iosevka/iosevka-lepisma-medium.ttf
yes | cp iosevka/iosevka-lepisma-italic.ttf iosevka/iosevka-lepisma-mediumitalic.ttf
yes | cp iosevka/iosevka-lepisma-oblique.ttf iosevka/iosevka-lepisma-mediumoblique.ttf

fc-cache -f

3.2. Et book

git clone git@github.com:edwardtufte/et-book /tmp/et-book
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/et-book/
mv /tmp/et-book/et-book/*/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/et-book/

fc-cache -f

3.3. All the Icons

(require 'all-the-icons)
(all-the-icons-install-fonts)

4. Terminal

I use Kitty as the terminal emulator across machines. 

stow -t ~/ kitty

5. Languages

Programming language setup as needed. I only keep primary languages here and rest as on-demand.

5.1. Python setup

First set up pyenv. 

pip install -r ./packages/pip

IPython init 

get_ipython().magic("%load_ext autoreload")
get_ipython().magic("%autoreload 2")

5.2. Node

I use node primarily for a few CLI tools listed here.

6. Email

6.1. euclid-red

On this machine, I use a combination of offlineimap and mu4e. 

stow -t ~/ offlineimap

Create .authinfo.gpg file in ~/ with two items like the following for each account: 

# -*- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("<gpg-key-email-id>") -*-
machine imap.gmail.com name gmail-imap port 993 login <> password <> email <>
machine smtp.gmail.com name gmail-smtp port 465 login <> password <> email <>

7. Setup hardware

7.1. Bluetooth sinks

Dumping commands. Need to enable bluetooth service and stuff. 

  pacmd list-sinks | grep -e 'name:' -e 'index:'
  pacmd set-default-sink <n>
>>>>>>> ce96b50 (add example for authinfo entry)

7.2. euclid-blue

I have been using geary here and that works well.

8. Default Programs

As a common item, I have a script www that dispatches urls to the right browser. That's supposed to be set as the primary web handler.
