#Void Suck

Lightweight Desktop installer for Void Linux based on the suckless philosophy. Includes my own custom set of suckless tools (dwm, slstatus, dmenu, etc.)

#Downloading

After going through the standard Void installer, login as your created user and install the following:

vim
bash
git

then pull in this repo:

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~bt/void-suck

cd void-suck

#Installing

#Quick Breakdown

1. Install dependencies by running install-dependencies.sh. The script will simply read required packages from dependencies.txt and run xbps-install.
2. Compile and install suckless software by running the install.sh

#Step-by-Step

cd void-suck # CD into this repository
sudo ./install-dependencies.sh # Install void packages

Be sure to edit the main install.sh file and change the username "bt" to your own:

mkdir /home/bt/.suckless
cd /home/bt/.suckless

Save your changes and then run:

sudo ./install.sh # Install suckless tools
cp .xinitrc ~/.xinitrc # Apply .xinitrc
cp .profile ~/.profile # Apply .profile

Reboot the machine. Log in as your main user. Run:

startx

#Tweaks / Troubleshooting

#Users

If you're having issues with the user you created during the Void installer, run the following:

useradd -m -s /bin/bash -U -G wheel,users,audio,video,cdrom,input,tty,network voiduser

#Audio / ALSA

You might need to check /proc/asound/cards to see which sound cards are available to your system. Then, if needed, you should create a /etc/asound.conf file with the following inside (where the "1" is your desired card number):

defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1

You might also need to create a file:

/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

and inside place the following:

snd-pcm-oss

This will take on the next reboot of the machine.

#Font Rendering

You might want to install some extra packages to help with rendering fonts across the internet and inside Firefox:

• google-fonts-ttf
• freefont-ttf
