This is the current list of programs that I’m running both on my Ubuntu server and WSL2. For an updated version of the list I’ll be hosting on my GitHub repository.

nnn file manager

i3-gaps

  • Ended up not required since the display is shared with the Windows Host

xorg

  • Did not work out of the box
  • Install VcXsrv on Windows Host
    • Disable access control
  • Allow access to port 6000
  • Also tried allowing wsl.exe (Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux Launcher), xlaunch.exe through Windows Firewall.
  • export DISPLAY=IPv4_of_Host:0.0
  • Can test with xeyes
  • Launch with xlaunch on Host.

~/.bashrc

# Connect to Host Display (replace *Host_IPv4*)
export DISPLAY="*Host_IPv4*:0.0"

kbd

  • used for chvt

urxvt (rxvt-unicode)

  • Create ~/.Xresources config file to config urxvt (same as xterm)
  • Use xrdb ~/.Xresources after configuring to reload and apply changes.
  • Using Mutiny colorscheme by pyratebeard (https://gitlab.com/pyratebeard/dotfiles/-/tree/master)
  • Struggled with getting fonts to work.
    • Installed tamzen on Windows Host.
    • Had Tamzen-font in VcXsrv/fonts.
    • Copied Tamzen-font/ttp file contents into VcXsrv/fonts/TTP.
  • Unable to find or select tamzen font through xset or xfontsel.
  • Think what worked is the xft:tamzen line in ~/.Xresources.

~/.bashrc

# Need to reload settings on start up for some reason
xrdb ~/.Xresources

~/.Xresources

tmux

  • tmux list-sessions to find existing sessions
  • tmux attach to get to the sessions and kill them
  • could also use killall tmux or tmux kill-server
  • install tmux plugins manager (tpm) with git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm

~/.bashrc

jakym

  • had been using this for a while now
  • sudo apt-get install -y python3-dev libasound2-dev
  • pip install simpleaudio
  • had to manually install pip for some reason, thought it was bundled with python3.4 and greater.
    • sudo apt install pip
  • pip install jakym
  • Need to put in some work for WSL2 audio to work, probably with the pulse audio workaround.

rustup -> cargo

  • (!!) Install with rustup instead, since rustup bundles rustc and cargo.
  • else if you try to install rustup, it’ll warn you potential $PATH conflict/confusion.

~/.bashrc

export PATH="$PATH:/home/$USER/.cargo/bin"

macchina

  • powered by rust and cargo
  • cargo install macchina
  • because neofetch can’t seem to load images properly (at least not some custom ascii)

~/.bashrc

alias macchina="macchina -t Helium -p -C Red --box-title \"[ Sean's Dirty Secrets ]\""

unzip

  • doesn’t come preinstalled
  • needed for nnn preview-tui to work

imv

  • needed for nnn imgview to work
  • need to go to plugin source to replace imvr to imv

ruby

  • needed for jekyll
  • sudo apt install ruby-full (deb)
  • official documentation of jekyll points to Brightbox Ruby NG for Ubuntu
    • hosted on ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng
    • on Ubuntu the repo could be added through sudo apt-add-repository
  • on Kali however
    • the official Kali repo shipped with install is stored at /etc/apt/sources.list
      • format is <Archive> <Mirror> <Branch> <Component>
      • currently on kali-rolling (default)
    • additional repositories should be stored under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
    • naming convention: repo-name.list
  • sudo gem update

jekyll

  • sudo gem install jekyll bundler
  • following the documentation on github pages, within the gemfile github-pages’ version is set to 217
    • This will cause several version conflicts after running bundle update or bundle install.
    • Deleting gemfile.lock and running bundle install then bundle update resolves the issue.
    • run bundle update github-pages with bundle or gem update github-pages to update github-pages gem
  • test site locally with bundle exec jekyll serve (optional –livereload)
  • jerkyll posts must be name in YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP
  • could init new dir by:
    • jekyll new . or
    • bundle init -> bundle add jekyll
  • gem based themes have some directories (_assets, _includes, _layouts, _sass) stored inside the theme’s gem file.
    • use bundle info --path *theme-name* to find where those files are.
    • writing your own layout files under the same name can override theme layouts.

By default JEKYLL_ENV is set to development. You can set the environment when running a command:

JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll serve

To only output the analytics script on development:

# JEKYLL_ENV is available on jekyll.environment

lsof

  • got this because I forgot that I have a window running on tmux that was occupying a port
  • run lsof -wni tcp:PORT to get PID
  • run kill -9 PID

funsies

  • curl -L rum.sh/ricebowl -o ricebowl
    • for testing and fun

  • cmatrix

  • figlet

  • nms
