Fedora Stuff

Things I wished I'd written down if I have to wipe and reinstall.

Chrome

sudo dnf install fedora-workstation-repositories

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled google-chrome

sudo dnf install google-chrome-stable

Chrome silliness

If chrome crashes, then won't launch again:

rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome/Singleton*

• https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?332678-Google-chrome-doesn-t-start&p=1883589#post1883589

If you can't update Chrome through the browser, then update through dnf:

sudo dnf update google-chrome-stable

Vim

Get full vim install, not just minimal:

sudo dnf install vim

Colors

Get legacy color schemes:

• https://github.com/vim/colorschemes/tree/master/legacy_colors

git clone https://github.com/vim/colorschemes.git
cd colorschemes/legacy_colors/
mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors
cp elflord.vim ~/.vim/colors/

vimrc

Get my vimrc:

• https://github.com/philljj/vimrc/blob/master/vimrc

Bashrc

Title function, and shorten terminal cmd prompt.

Add this to top of bashrc:

# Set title to arg passed, or to current dir.
# Attribution:
#   https://stackoverflow.com/a/75144186
function ttl() {
  if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
    str=$1
  else
    str=$(pwd | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}')
  fi

  if [[ -z "$ORIG" ]]; then
    ORIG=$PS1
  fi
  TITLE="\[\e]2;$str\a\]"
  PS1=${ORIG}${TITLE}
}

# Shorten cmd prompt.
export PS1="[\u \W]\$"

Desktop background

Set scaled background image:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options scaled

See options:

gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options

Git

Git aliases

git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch

Git global user config

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

Git credential store. This will save credentials plaintext:

git config --global credential.helper store

Install Kernel Src Tree

sudo dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

Installs kernel src tree to:

arch           drivers   ipc       Makefile.rhelver  samples     tools
block          fs        Kconfig   mm                scripts     usr
