NEWS

All configurations this repository provided are now deprecated, except gitconfig and XCompose. I've switched from manual configutation to defaults as I find maintaining so many configs too hard.

Dotfiles

Various configuration files for my main system. Take what you like.

Installation

Clone into some direcotry

git clone git://github.com/stdcall/dotfiles.git $HOME/dotfiles

Edit config.yml for special options(usernames, passwords, etc...)

cd $HOME/dotfiles
cp config.yml.new config.yml
vi config.yml

use rake task to automatically create symlinks in your $HOME directory

rake install

or link individual dotfiles to their actual location

ln -s $HOME/dotiles/.XCompose $HOME/

optionally, add it for root too

cd $HOME/dotfiles
su -
Password:
rake install
exit

updating later is simple

cd $HOME/dotfiles && git pull

##Notes ###Loading .Xsession with LightDM(Ubuntu) I run a custom X session started by ~/.xsession. On gdm, one can select "run Xclient script" or "Custom Xsession" as the session to launch, which results in that script being run. If you aren't running a graphical login manager, or if you start X directly from an init script, you can create symbolic link between .xsession and .xinitrc to start X by running startx script.

ln -s ~/.xsession ~/.xinitrc
startx

According to launchpad bug report, lightdm still doesn't support ~/.xsession scripts in Ubuntu upstream. To deal with it, you may create /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop and fill it with something similar to this

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Default Xsession
Exec=default
Type=Xsession
