- Copy i3 config
- Copy plasma-workspace bash file
- install compton
- install wmctrl
- sudo mv /usr/bin/ksplashqml /usr/bin/ksplashqml.old
- double check plasma-workspace wm.sh file to see that it's invoking i3 from the correct path: /usr/bin/i3 not /usr/local/bin/i3
- install feh and put a background image at ~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg (or change this in the i3 config)
Any dotfiles copied from another machine needs the following command executed within the folder:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664
Symlink the config files
ln -s ~/dotfiles/emacs.el ~/.emacs.d/init.el
ln -s ~/dotfiles/i3_config ~/.config/i3/config
ln -s ~/dotfiles/config ~/.emacs.d/config
ln -s ~/dotfiles/org-templates ~/.emacs.d/org-templates
This is my customized version of emacs-dashboard and includes a section for displaying outdated packages. Navigation options like section shortcuts are available.
To interact with the package update manager, your options are:
C-c ror click/Enteron theRefreshbutton to have your package archive refreshed asynchonously.C-c uor click/Enteron theUpdatebutton to upgrade all your packages.- go to the "Package upgrades available:" section with shortcut
uandEnteron a package to upgrade.
You need the update-package.el file inside the config directory for per package updating to work. If you place it somewhere other than ~/.emacs.d/config you will need to update the load-file line that sources it accordingly.
