Customize zsh

Pau Garcia — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 19:14:55 +0000

For this, we are going to use zsh4humans

So firts, we are going to installit a nerd font and enabling it in the system for having icons in our terminal
Personally, i like:

Hack Nerd Fonts
Ubuntu Nerd Font

Then, we are going to install zsh4humans using:

if command -v curl >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/v5/install)"
else
  sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/v5/install)"
fi

Then, we only need to follow the installation

As we want to change from bash to zsh, we should change the main shell in our computer, se we should type this:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

If in the future we want to change back to bash, we should change zsh to bash in the command:

chsh -s $(which bash)

Finally, we are going to install logo-lsfor enabling icons when we do ls command

So, pase this command in the shell:

wget -q https://github.com/Yash-Handa/logo-ls/releases/download/v1.3.7/logo-ls_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar zxvf logo-ls_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
cd logo-ls_Linux_x86_64/
sudo install -v logo-ls /usr/local/bin/

Then, edit the ~/.zshrc for create an alias for ls

nvim ~/.zshrc

alias ls = 'logo-ls'

Then, save the changes using:

source ~/.zshrc

or using

exec zsh

If in some moment, you want to change to another theme of z4h, you can type the next command:

p10k configure

Dual-boot Ubuntu-Windows 11

Dual-boot

First create a partition for installing there Ubuntu

Instal the .iso from ubuntu webside
Install rufus
Install the ubuntu iso into a pendrive using rufus software

Restart the pc and setup the usb as the first option to boot

In the ubuntu installer, configure all ass you want untill the "Installation type" where you should check the "Something else" option

There select the free space, create a new partition in the "+" button, and assing 2048 mb of space as a primary type partition and use as swap partition.
The rest of space create a partition as a primary partition with format Ext4 and mount point in "/"
Then continue with the installation

Shared folder between systems

Create a new ntfs partition (in ubuntu you can install GParted)
Mount the new partition
Create a folder in the root where you want to share files

sudo mount -t ntfs o rw /dev/*partition* /forder/

Customizing

Create folders for customizing

.icons / .themes / .fonts

Customization websites:

My grub theme:
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1414997

Setup multimedia codecs && VLC player

sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt install vlc

Enable minimize app from dock

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'minimize'

Enable firewall

sudo systemctl enable ufw

//for gui ufw

sudo apt install gufw

Enable FlatPak:

sudo apt install flatpak

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub //flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Enable AppImage support:

sudo apt install libfuse2

Special Laptop config

Battery

Auto CPUFrec

Install Auto CPUFrec

git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq.git
cd auto-cpufreq && sudo ./auto-cpufreq-installer

Apply the deamon:

sudo auto-cpufreq --install

For help

auto-cpufreq --help

TLP

Install TLP

sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw

Enable TLP

sudo systemctl enable tlp

Close laptop lid issues

Method 1: Using GNOME Tweaks First we have to install gnome-tweaks-tool.

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweaks

Then open the gnome-tweaks and follow below steps:

Go to the General tab in the sidebar
And toggle off the 'Suspend when laptop lid is closed’ button

Method 2: Change login configuration (for advanced users)

If you look into the content of the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf, you’ll see three different types of default settings for the laptop lid closing.

HandleLidSwitch: When the laptop is on battery power
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower: When the laptop is plugged into a power outlet
HandleLidSwitchDocked: When the laptop is connected to a docking station

If you want, you can change the value of those parameters to one of these as per your preference:

lock: lock when lid is closed
ignore: do nothing
poweroff: shutdown
hibernate: hibernate when lid is closed

I would suggest going with ignore

Then save the file do a restart.

Dual Boot Windows 11 - Arch Linux with different drives

Pau Garcia — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 16:24:24 +0000

First you should create the partition in windows

Then, install arch using archinstall script, and select grub bootloader.

Once that is done, if the grub bootloader does not recognize the windows partition you should do this:

Part 1

Partitions usage:
df -h

Install os-probe:
sudo pacman -S os-prober

Set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false:
vim /etc/default/grub

uncomment GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

Update GRUB configuration:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Part 2

Install ntfs-3g:
sudo pacman -S ntfs-3g

Mount nvme partition:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt

Partitions usage:
df -h

Update GRUB configuration:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Part 3

Install grub-customizator:
sudo pacman -S grub-customizer

Edit names and order of partitions unsing grub-customizer

Multiple git accounts in one computer (ssh)

Pau Garcia — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 16:17:25 +0000

First we need to create the ssh keys for each account

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your@email.com"

cd .ssh
code .
// copy ssh ky from id_rsa.pub and paste it in a new ssh key in github

if error chech https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18683092/how-to-run-ssh-add-on-windows

ssh-add /ssh/id_rsa

if its not working:

ssh-agent -s

repeat this steps with the other account

Then create a config file, that should look loke this:

Host github.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account1

Host github2.com
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account2

Match Host github.com exec "git config --get user.name | grep 'name_Account_1' > /dev/null"
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account1

Match Host github.com exec "git config --get user.name | grep 'name_Account_2' > /dev/null"
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account2

Then create 2 folders where you will create and work with your git projects

The .gitconfig file should look like this

`shell
[user]
email = Account1@gmail.com
name = Account1
[core]
editor = nvim

[includeif "gitdir:/media/pau/564548676397F900/main/"]
path = ./path/to/Account1/folder/.gitconfig
[includeif "gitdir:/media/pau/564548676397F900/UPC/"]
path = /path/to/Account2/folder/.gitconfig

[credential "https://github.com"]
helper =
helper = !/usr/bin/gh auth git-credential
[credential "https://gist.github.com"]
helper =
helper = !/usr/bin/gh auth git-credential

Then, in each Account folder, create a .gitconfig, that should look like this:

`shell
[user]
email = Account1@mail.com
name = Account1
signingkey = DEADBEEF

[core]
sshCommand = "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account1"
`

make the same for the other folder, and you should have configured well you double git account using ssh

I've made all this using git cmd
