dwm setup

Versions:

• dwm: 6.4
• slstatus: latest git from a personal fork
• maim: latest from git repo
• slopy: latest from git repo
• Others: latest from system package manager

Depends

Various programs are installed using the system's package manager. The script currently only auto-detects pacman, apt, emerge, and slackpkg

Usage

Scenario	Command
Laptop	./make.sh --laptop
Single-monitor desktop	./make.sh --desktop
Multi-monitor desktop	./make.sh --desktop --multi

Running ./make.sh with no arguments will prompt interactively.

--laptop installs backlight tools and includes battery status in the status bar. --desktop skips both. --multi deploys displays.sh for managing monitor layouts.

Things to change:

• Look over make.sh
• xinitrc, since by default it gets copied to ~/
• Run ls /sys/class/backlight (on laptops), and edit backlight.py if the directory isn't intel_backlight.

Manual system changes

These are not applied by make.sh and must be done by hand on each machine.

Keyring auto-unlock (/etc/pam.d/login)

Add pam_gnome_keyring.so to the auth and session stacks so the keyring unlocks on TTY login (before startx):

auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
session    optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

Place the auth line after auth include system-local-login, and the session line after session include system-local-login.
