Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

GNU Stow is needed for installing this dotfiles, to install stow, use the following command in proper distribution.

Distro	Command
Debian and Ubuntu	sudo apt-get install stow
Arch Linux	sudo pacman -Syu --needed stow

Installation

Configure git:

USER_NAME="foo"
USER_EMAIL="foo@bar.com"
# I recommend you to do this step, because sometimes if you
# need to rebase the dotfiles, the global git config would go off
# and stay in your way
git config user.name "$USER_NAME"
git config user.email "$USER_EMAIL"
#
git config --global user.name "$USER_NAME"
git config --global user.email "$USER_EMAIL"

Telling Git about your signing key if you have one.

Now install it. Note that you have manually backup and remove old configs.

amdgpu - Radeon HD 8790M causes crash when resuming with kernel 4.18+

Temporary fix

Disable the radeon and amdgpu in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

% sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf << EOF
blacklist amdgpu
blacklist radeon
EOF
% sudo update-initramfs -u -v

Tried methods (Wrong ones):

• Disable dmp (Dynamic Power Management):
  • Add amdgpu.dpm=0 or radeon.dpm=0 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
  • Then run: sudo update-grub.
