Installation

To install:

• clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/carnivuth/scripts "$HOME/scripts"

• run the installation script (arch linux only)

cd $HOME/scripts && ./scripts.sh

Configure greeter

The installation scripts install greetd as a login daemon and hyprland and sway as window managers, configuration is done for both the environments (hyprland is more updated since is my default one), to set one of them as default program after login change /etc/greetd/config.toml as follows

[terminal]

vt = 1

[default_session]

# run hyprland on login
#command = "agreety --cmd /bin/Hyprland"

# run sway on login
#command = "agreety --cmd /bin/sway"

# login with tuigreet
command = "tuigreet --remember --remember-user-session"

user = "greeter"

To unlock the gnome keyring at default set this on the /etc/pam.d/greetd file

#%PAM-1.0

auth       required     pam_securetty.so
auth       requisite    pam_nologin.so
auth       include      system-local-login
auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
account    include      system-local-login
session    include      system-local-login
session    optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

Configure updates

The installation scripts creates a git hook that runs on merge event and execute the ./scripts.sh installation script, to avoid input password for pacman configure sudo as follows

echo "$USER ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/pacman" > "/etc/sudoers.d/$USER"

How it works

This will install a list of default packages and link the configuration files under the right folder using stow, for reference
