i3-EndeavourOS

joekamprad: setup for i3 under EndeavourOS

setup for i3-Wm on EndeavourOS running on a thinkpad with fingerprint reader:

• get my dot files
• copy files to the right directories (.config of your user and pam files under /etc/pam.d {needed for fingerprint-gui to work}):
• scripts inside ~/.config/i3/scripts must be executable ! [chmod +x] them please ;)

git clone https://github.com/killajoe/i3-EndeavourOS.git

cd i3-EndeavourOS

cp -R .config/i3 ~/.config/

chmod -R +x ~/.config/i3/scripts (make scripts executable)

cp .Xresources ~/ (needed colorcheme for menu)

• copy files needed for fingerprint gui:

sudo cp -R etc/pam.d/** /etc/pam.d

install needed apps and programms for i3 and fingerprint-sensor

sudo pacman -S --needed - < packages-repository.txt

yay -S --needed - < packages-AUR.txt

Give users rights to use the fingerprint-sensor:

• ad user to this groups scanner plugdev: (replace 'username' with your users name)

sudo gpasswd -a username scanner

sudo gpasswd -a username plugdev

Tutorial for i3-wm settings:

Main shortcuts:

• [mod]+enter = open terminal (xfce4-terminal)
• [mod]+w = open Browser (firefox)
• F9 = app menu (rofi)
• F4 = close focused app

Tiling mode is tabbed:

so each new window will open fullscreen as a tab, you can change between window-tabs with mouse or shortcut:

• [mod]+Left focus left (left arrow key)
• [mod]+Right focus right (right arrow key)

i3blocks:

• pulseaudio (mousewheel volume level, rightclick open pulseaudio control)
• weather (openweather)
• tray-icons (showing kalu and network-manager)
• logout button (poweroff, logout, suspending, hibernate e.t.c.)

application menu:

setup Fingerprint-GUI to get your fingerprints:

Thermald/TLP POWERSAVING:

install needed: yay -S --needed tlp thermald

sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/thermald.service

change the line:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/thermald --no-daemon --dbus-enable

like so:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/thermald --no-daemon --dbus-enable --ignore-cpuid-check

services e.t.c.:

sudo systemctl enable thermald tlp.service tlp-sleep.service

sudo systemctl mask systemd-rfkill.service systemd-rfkill.socket

reboot...

login to i3... with a fingertip
