The goal is to document my installation of ArchBang on the c720 as well as to save all installed packages and modified config files to easily restore my system in the inevitable event that I foul it up somehow.
I use a script I wrote called dotman to manage these config files. It is not perfect but I find it quite useful. You can read the .dotman file in this repository to get an idea of where the files are actually located on the ArchBang base system.
These are my personal config files so no effort has been made to keep them generic. However, together they constitute a very usable system which I recommend trying. If you want to use dotman, you can change every instance of /home/tim in the .dotman file to match your own home directory, or run this command:
sed -i "s/\/home\/tim/$(echo $HOME | sed 's/\//\\\//g')/g" .dotman
Then by running dotman export [file]
you can copy these configs to their intended paths.
I installed by creating a pen drive on Windows using Universal USB Installer. In order to get the live CD to boot, I added mem=1536m
to the boot command, and changed the archiso parameter from ARCHBANG
to UUI
. From there I ran the install script as normal.
Followed instructions from Arch Wiki
Added this line to /etc/default/grub
:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="tpm_tis.interrupts=0 modprobe.blacklist=ehci_pci"
Then ran sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Then reboot.
I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
. The edited file is in this repository. I turned off tap to click because I kept triggering it accidentally.
I changed the openbox hotkeys to be closer to the CrunchBang defaults, namely for window tiling. I also changed the default browser to chromium.
