Setup

First clone repo onto system. The assumed path it $HOME/dev-env: cd && git clone https://github.com/GerardHH/dev-env.git

Second run: $HOME/dev-env/bin/setup-dev-env.bash

This should setup the whole user system.

Use home-manager switch when changes are made to home.nix. Other configuration files/folders are symlinks to the appropriate files/folders in the dev-env.

Notes

1. Install awesome and alacritty on system.
2. Install xclip (or other clipboard manager) from system. Some can't find libbsd if installed through nix.
3. Use system terminal emulator (not nix installed one), to prevent bug 1.
4. On Ubuntu 22.04:

sudo apt install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service

To fix the not working Sony WH-1000XM5. 5. nvim complained about invalid node type at position for lua. Running TSInstall all in nvim seemed to fix it, so probably TSInstall lua should've done the trick too. It seemed to be using the one provided by nix.

Bugs

1. GUI applications spawned from Alacritty (or any terminal emulator using nixGL), will have problems finding GL libraries:

/opt/ros/humble/lib/plotjuggler/plotjuggler: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /nix/store/m3i46laviz11sywkad3xylq0ikwzfs29-libglvnd-1.7.0/lib/libGLX.so.0)
/opt/ros/humble/lib/plotjuggler/plotjuggler: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /nix/store/ga17mlfsss2fndyvp2s1m0s2rx2b4i9s-libX11-1.8.7/lib/libX11.so.6)
/opt/ros/humble/lib/plotjuggler/plotjuggler: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /nix/store/m3i46laviz11sywkad3xylq0ikwzfs29-libglvnd-1.7.0/lib/libGLdispatch.so.0)
/opt/ros/humble/lib/plotjuggler/plotjuggler: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR' not found (required by /nix/store/cyrrf49i2hm1w7vn2j945ic3rrzgxbqs-glibc-2.38-44/lib/libpthread.so.0)
[ros2run]: Process exited with failure 1

Because Alacritty uses nixGL (replaced the binary with a script), all GUI applications spawned from it may have these issues. 2. pandas can't be found by python3 installed by home-manager.

Whishlist

1. Look into clangd --path-mapping

Awesome

3. Go through all keybinding thoroughly.
4. System tray? (trayer with nm-applet, volumeicon)
5. Notification system? (Dunst)
6. login manager? (lightdm)
7. GUI filemanager? (PCManFM, thunar, nemo)
8. GTK setter? (lxappearance)
9. Lock screen? (gtklock)
10. rofi extenstions:
    • rofi-wifi-menu
    • rofi-calc
    • clipmenu
    • rofi-power-menu
    • rofi-bluetooth
