Blackfly's fork of Luke's Auto-Rice Bootstraping Scripts (LARBS)

Installation:

On an Arch-based distribution as root, run the following:

curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theblackfly/LARBS/blackfly/larbs.sh
sh larbs.sh

That's it.

What is LARBS?

LARBS is a script that autoinstalls and autoconfigures a fully-functioning and minimal terminal-and-vim-based Arch Linux environment.

LARBS can be run on a fresh install of Arch or Artix Linux, and provides you with a fully configured diving-board for work or more customization.

Customization

By default, LARBS uses the programs here in progs.csv and installs my dotfiles repo (voidrice) here, but you can easily change this by either modifying the default variables at the beginning of the script or giving the script one of these options:

• -r: custom dotfiles repository (URL)
• -p: custom programs list/dependencies (local file or URL)
• -a: a custom AUR helper (must be able to install with -S unless you change the relevant line in the script

The progs.csv list

LARBS will parse the given programs list and install all given programs. Note that the programs file must be a three column .csv.

The first column is a "tag" that determines how the program is installed, "" (blank) for the main repository, A for via the AUR or G if the program is a git repository that is meant to be make && sudo make installed.

The second column is the name of the program in the repository, or the link to the git repository, and the third column is a description (should be a verb phrase) that describes the program. During installation, LARBS will print out this information in a grammatical sentence. It also doubles as documentation for people who read the CSV and want to install my dotfiles manually.

Depending on your own build, you may want to tactically order the programs in your programs file. LARBS will install from the top to the bottom.

If you include commas in your program descriptions, be sure to include double quotes around the whole description to ensure correct parsing.

The script itself

The script is extensively divided into functions for easier readability and trouble-shooting. Most everything should be self-explanatory.

The main work is done by the installationloop function, which iterates through the programs file and determines based on the tag of each program, which commands to run to install it. You can easily add new methods of installations and tags as well.

Note that programs from the AUR can only be built by a non-root user. What LARBS does to bypass this by default is to temporarily allow the newly created user to use sudo without a password (so the user won't be prompted for a password multiple times in installation). This is done ad-hocly, but effectively with the newperms function. At the end of installation, newperms removes those settings, giving the user the ability to run only several basic sudo commands without a password (shutdown, reboot, pacman -Syu).

What's different from Luke's configuration

Main Changes

• xbacklight does not work on some laptops. So my dwm config uses light instead. Check this for more info.
• The dotfiles repository is cloned into ~/voidrice and the deployed to the users home directory by changing git worktree. See putdotfiles in the larbs.sh script file for more info.
• slock (my patched version of suckless' slock).
• bluez and bluez-utils are installed for using bluetooth headsets.
• youtube-dl has been removed. If you need this tool, use pip to install it with pip install -U youtube-dl.

Firmware

If you see something like, WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: wd719x, install the missing firmware from AUR.

yay -S wd719x-firmware
yay -S aic94xx-firmware
yay -S upd72020x-fw

HDMI Audio

sudo pacman -Syu xf86-video-ati

Eduroam

Example for HS-Mittweida, Germany:

sudo pacman -S python-dbus
curl -o ~/downloads/tmp/eduroam.py "https://cat.eduroam.org/user/API.php?action=downloadInstaller&api_version=2&lang=en&device=linux&profile=6198"
python ~/downloads/tmp/eduroam.py

See https://cat.eduroam.org/ for more info.

Still more programs?

Goto completion

git clone https://github.com/iridakos/goto.git ~/.local/src/goto
cd ~/.local/src/goto
sudo ./install

See project repo for more info.

Emacs with multiple configurations

sudo pacman -S emacs

git clone -b develop https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.local/src/doom-emacs
cd ~/.local/src/doom-emacs/bin
./doom install

git clone -b develop https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.local/src/spacemacs

git clone https://github.com/plexus/chemacs.git ~/.local/src/chemacs
sh ~/.local/src/chemacs/install.sh

mkdir -p ~/.config/emacs
touch ~/.config/emacs/init.el

echo -e '
(("default"       . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.local/src/doom-emacs")))
 ("vanilla-emacs" . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.config/emacs")))
 ("doom-emacs"    . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.local/src/doom-emacs")))
 ("spacemacs"     . ((user-emacs-directory . "~/.local/src/spacemacs"))))
' > ~/.emacs-profiles.el

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/chemacs
for emacsconfig in "vanilla-emacs" "doom-emacs" "spacemacs"
do
    echo "emacs --with-profile $emacsconfig" > ~/.local/bin/chemacs/$emacsconfig
    chmod +x ~/.local/bin/chemacs/$emacsconfig
done

source ~/.zprofile

Now, you should be able to find spacemacs and doom-emacs from dmenu. You may have to first delete ~/.cache/dmenu_run though.

To get the most out of doom-emacs you may also want to install any missing programs depending on your doom-emacs configuration. Run doom doctor to check this.

The user configuration files for doom-emacs and spacemacs can be found under DOOMDIR and SPACEMACSDIR respectively. This is set from ~/.zprofile. doom-emacs can be updated by simply running doom upgrade. To update spacemacs, first run:

cd ~/.local/src/spacemacs
git pull

and then restart spacemacs.

Run git config --global github.oauth-token <token> with a token generated from https://github.com/settings/tokens in order to use GitHub from magit.
