# Kubuntu i3-gaps
|

Be sure to clone recursively if you want to grab updated plugins / submodules included. For example, using Pathogen with Vim to manage plugins requires that the plugin to be installed are cloned to the `~/.vim/bundle/` directory. Cloning recursively allows git to clone these same nested repositories/submodules within this directory so Pathogen can handle running the Vim plugins.
|
|
|
|
These configs were created and tested on Kubuntu 20.04 using i3-gaps, and should only be used on similar systems. Any Ubuntu derivative is probably fine, especially if you're already familiar with i3. If you get stuck in a terminal with no internet, check out [Linux Admin/Getting Started](https://knoats.com/link/62#bkmrk-connecting-to-wifi).
|
|
|
|
First, grab some packages used for status bar and desktop overlay
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install conky golang-go inxi python3 python3-pip jq tmux xbindkeys xautolock pulsemixer
|
|
sudo pip3 install powerline-shell
|
|
go get -u github.com/arl/gitmux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next, we build [Polybar](https://github.com/polybar/polybar) from source
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential git cmake cmake-data pkg-config python3-sphinx python3-packaging libuv1-dev libcairo2-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-composite0-dev python3-xcbgen xcb-proto libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-ewmh-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxcb-xrm-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev i3-wm libjsoncpp-dev libmpdclient-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
|
|
git clone git@github.com:polybar/polybar.git
|
|
cd polybar
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build [Brightnessctl](https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl) from source and configure your user permissions for brightness control
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl
|
|
cd brightnessctl
|
|
sudo ./configure && sudo make install
|
|
sudo usermod -aG video <YOUR_USERNAME>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then install i3-gaps from speed-ricer PPA
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kgilmer/speed-rice
|
|
sudo apt install i3-gaps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Last, install these dotfiles to configure all of these applications by cloning repository into home directory and running `stow .` -
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone -b kubuntu-i3 --recursive https://github.com/shaunrd0/dot ~/dot
|
|
cd ~/dot/
|
|
stow .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you'd rather clone elsewhere you can
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone -b kubuntu-i3 --recursive https://github.com/shaunrd0/dot /path/to/dot
|
|
cd /path/to/dot/
|
|
stow -t ~ .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you forgot to clone recursively
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~/dot/
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To configure tap to click on laptop touchpads, run the following commands
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
|
|
sudoedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-touchpad.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And input the following lines into the `90-touchpad.conf` file. Save, exit, then run `sudo pkill -KILL -u <YOUR_USERNAME>` to logout of your user and log back in to apply the changes.
|
|
```
|
|
Section "InputClass"
|
|
Identifier "touchpad"
|
|
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
|
|
Driver "libinput"
|
|
Option "Tapping" "on"
|
|
EndSection
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can also modify the following keybinds in `.xbindkeysrc`. I wrote some addiitonal comments in the file and also you can check out [Linux Admin/i3](https://knoats.com/books/linux-admin/page/i3#bkmrk-xkeybinds) for more help if needed.
|
|
```
|
|
# SETUP INSTRUCTIONS:
|
|
# Run `xbindkeys --key` and press a key to get the output
|
|
# Place the output under the correspondng action to trigger for that key press
|
|
# Useful for configuring media keys for laptops; They all differ
|
|
# These settings are for a Dell XPS 13 9310

`stow --adopt .` can be used to install conflicting files, but doing so will result in the loss of your local configurations. If you want to keep them, back up the conflicting files output in the error message before running this command.
