To launch i3 when startx is run, change the last line of ~/.xinitrc to exec /usr/bin/i3.īy default, i3 maps $mod+Shift+e to “exit” but uses i3-nagbar to confirm the decision. Log back in to the newly renamed user account and run passwd to change the default password.
#Syncthing rename move full
chfn -f "Your Name" to choose a new full name.groupmod -n newname cpi to change the user groups.usermod -l newname -m -d /home/newname cpi to rename the user nad move its home directory.


Log out from the cpi account and into the root account.
#Syncthing rename move password
(Some sources suggested that the cpi password works, but it did not for me.) These steps must be run by the root user, so set its password with:

Changing the cpi usernameĪll of the above was necessary to rename the cpi user, because the usermod command won’t work if there are any processes owned by the user, so the user must be logged out. Sudo systemctl enable the device prompts the user to login after boot. (Logging in via tty2 still worked using Fn-Ctrl-Alt-2.) To restore the login prompt, readd the service: It just displayed the boot messages without any prompt. Sudo rm -R this point, after reboot, tty1 no longer displayed the login prompt. Sudo systemctl disable believe I also removed the directory in question with: The solution (I think) was to remove the with: It took a lot of digging, and this may not have been exactly the order in which I did things, but the problem was there was an systemd drop-in file instructing the automatic login of the cpi user on tty1, as in this discussion. XWindows no longer autostarts, but the cpi user still gets auto logged in to the bash shell. bash_profile in the ~cpi home directory, so comment out the exec startx line by changing it to #exec startx. Preventing both isn’t straightforward!įirst, stop Xwindows from starting automatically. Getting rid of autologinīy default, the cpi user is logged in automatically and once logged in, XWindows is started automatically. Sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York (or another string returned by timedatectl list-timezone). Sudo apt purge gimp inkscape freedom chocolate-doom freedoom Got rid of a few packages I’ll never use. Preferred the solution for dealing with the u-boot problem:Īdd new line to file /etc/default/u-boot: Got rid of update-notifier-common due to reports of it slowing down updates: Sudo sed -i 's/devel/jammy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list Preliminariesįixed sources.list to point to jammy rather than devel: My workflow centers on i3, emacs (especially org-mode) and syncthing, and this little device is perfect for that mix. I owe a lot to post and to page of notes., so I wanted to pay it forward. Here are my notes about how I got everything up-and-running.
#Syncthing rename move install
I’m a longtime Linux user, and I’m impressed with how smoothly the default install seems to be running, after a few small tweaks. I’m coming late to the DevTerm party and just received my new R-01 a few days ago.
