Instructions for Arch setup

  • Create a file ~/.Xkbmap and add "-option caps:escape"

LightDM configuration

  • Install LightDM and lightdm-slick-greeter.

  • To have custom image background in greeter:

    • Copy image to /usr/share/backgrounds/
    • Set the path to the image on /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf

  • To configure resolution:

    • Create script to set resolution and save it in /usr/share/
    • Give the script read/execute permissions with chmod a+rx
    • In /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, set display-setup-script=/usr/share/lightdmrandr.sh, substituting with the name of previously created script.
    • An example of display configuration script is on this repository: bin/set_display_configuration.sh

Add remote locations

To mount remote samba locations a directory for each mountpoint should be made.

cd ~
mkdir samba_shares/fastjonark -p

Then add following lines to /etc/fstab:

//jonark-server/fastjonark /home/jonark/samba_shares/fastjonark cifs _netdev,nofail,username=myusername,password=mypassword,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777  0 0

To use hostname instead of IP, you can edit /etc/hosts and add something like:

127.0.0.1   jonark-server
