config

My personal configuration for my terminal live: vimrc, fish abbreviations and just stuff to remember when I switch to a new linux distro or simply want to reconfigure something from a clean slate.

To remember for new systems

Universal scripts && commands

Keyboard layout

# X11
setxkbmap "us(colemak),ch" -option "grp:shifts_toggle"
setxkbmap "us(colemak),us,ch" -option "grp:shifts_toggle,caps:backspace"

# To get more options
grep -E "caps:" /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst

# Worst case || just to dive deeper: /usr/share/X11/xkb/
# There are great arch wiki articles for that

Multi monitor setup (X11)

- (a|x)randr
- autorandr for automation --> See [scripts/](scripts/)

# duplicate monitor
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --same-as eDP-1

## Not tested ##
# extend monitor
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --right-of eDP-1

# disable
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off

# enable again
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto

Urxvt config

Start daemon in background

urxvtd -p -f -o

Reload config

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

When an error occurs about fonts (char width can't be calculated or similar), just first try to increase the font size. Don't ask.

Bluetooth

Error: No default controler available

How I once succeeded:

Maybe it's just blocked?

rfkill list

The last time, the controler didn't even show up, only the wifi interface. If it does, just unblock it:

sudo rfkill unblock all

Reinstall bluez packages (lib may not be necessary)

sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils bluez-lib

Kernel module loaded?

# Kernel module
## Everything bluetooth related
lsmod | head -n 2 && lsmod | rg blue

## Btusb might also be needed
lsmod | rg btusb

# (Re)load btusb module
sudo rmmod btusb
sleep 5
sudo modprobe btusb

Service loaded?

# Bluetooth service
systemctl status bluetooth

# Start service
sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth

Check logs

sudo dmesg | rg -i bluetooth

This might show that a certain firmware could not be loaded --> Install this firmware.

Did it work?

bluetoothctl power on

Else

Uninstall blueman or other bluetooth managers and reboot

sudo pacman -Rns blueman
reboot

Or just reboot

reboot

After playing with those commands and rebooting, I installed blueman again and it worked.
