My dotfiles

This repository included almost all my configurations for different programs on Linux and Mac OS.

Installation

Just clone this repository to your home directory

Configurations

Environment configurations

By default my .bashrc will check if zsh is installed then zsh will be started in oposit case you will work in bash. Your personal config you should write to .bashrc.global or .bashrc.local. In global file all settings will be in all your configurations. In local file there is settings only for specific machine.

GDB Dashboard

Usially I use Vim and Conque GDB plugin for debug. But sometimes when I don't like to run Vim bui I want to have nice looking GDB, I use GDB Dashboard. Just copy .gdbinit to your home directory.

Ripgrep

It is really fast. See here: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

Vim

I use VIM as my primary text editor. My Vim configuration with description you can find here. It works on Linux, Mac and Windows.

Zsh

In zsh I use zplug as my plugins manager. Also I use vim mode for editing commands.

Some tips

Linux

Problem with headphones on Ubuntu 16.04

It was no sound in headphones on Ubuntu 16.04. I found solution here. I added to the end of the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf the following line:

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

If after reboot headphones are not working, try to kill pulseaudio: pulseaudio -k.

Setup working with several monitors

For configuring my displays I use xrandr utility. Below is example of configuration. You can use tool named ARandR for automatic configuration. Save configs from this tool to ~/.screenlayout/default.sh and put the following command line to ~/.xprofile.

[ -f $HOME/.screenlayout/default.sh ] && $HOME/.screenlayout/default.sh

Also for fixing problem with HiDPI display and display with small resolution, you can add parameter --scale to the small monitor e.g. (xrandr --output DVI --auto --scale 1.5).

Problem with GL application and ssh access

Some application with OpenGL can be crashed when you run it through ssh. For fix this problem it is possible to run the following command:

Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1024x960x24 -ac &
export DISPLAY=:99

Mac OS

Auto-mount NTFS volumes in read-write mode

I found this information here: https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/NTFS-3G

Short instruction:

1. Install NTFS-3G from Homebrew: brew install ntfs-3g

2. Replace /sbin/mount_ntfs with the version provided by NTFS-3G. May be it will not be possible due System Integrity Protection. So, you have to disable it.

   You need to reboot your mac and press ⌘+R when booting up. Then go into Utilities > Terminal and type the following commands:

   csrutil disable
   reboot
   

3. To replace Apple's NTFS mount tool with the one provided by NTFS-3G execute the following commands in Terminal. This will back up the original mount tool to /Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig.

   sudo mv "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs" "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig"
   sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs"
   

Manage your Mac Applications

I found very nice application that can help you to manage your Apps (e.g. total remove an application): https://nektony.com/mac-app-uninstaller

Manage windows

For managing my windows I use the following tool: https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle It is really comfortable and useful.
