Did a genkernel with efi stub support. Boots from efi shell 2.0 with -
fs1:>kernel.efi root=/dev/sda2 initrd=/initramfs
where fs1 is the 500mb fat32 partition containing kernel.efi and initramfs on it's root, as opposed to /efi/boot/
should work either way but I don't see the reason for having my kernel anywhere else but the root of the /boot partition.
Created a startup.nsh -
Code: | fs1:
kernel.efi root=/dev/sda2 initrd=/initramfs |
Added Shellx64.efi to the efi boot menu. -
boot add 0 fs1:\Shellx64.efi "Gentoo"
Now the Gentoo kernel is loaded with the correct parameters automatically. |

Solved the WIFI issue.
Now running Awesome WM. I installed DWM but the default config made no sense to me. Windows kept getting stuck in floating mode everytime I tried to resize them...resizing could only be done relative to the top left corner - it works but it's not very elegant and is slightly less functional. I'm way more familiar with C family languages than lua so it should be easier to customize than awesome. Perhaps I'll give monster a try later too.
Trying to use luakit but it doesn't work how I want it to. I can't find much documentation. The archlinux wiki is good. I just want to be able to open links in new windows by clicking. Reading the *.lua files doesn't provide much clarity. I guess I should spend the time to learn lua script.
Also it would be nice to have ALL menus bars at the edges of my screens rather than the top/bottom. There is more screen real estate on the left/right sides, I understand that strings are often printed on menus and in english strings go from left to right. Still, I have no trouble reading a string printed top to bottom, for vertical presentation. |

okay, I found the docs -- the :help command! I had no idea, wow.
This is really excellent. There are several changes I need to make right away.
Copied the configs from /etc/xdg/luakit to ~/.config/luakit
Thanks to ganesha on irc for cluing me in.
And to masonl for showing me how to spawn a new window.
in ~/.configs/lua/binds.lua
Code: | -- Open link in new window when Ctrl-clicked.
but({"Control"}, 1, "Open link under mouse cursor in new window.",
function (w, m)
local uri = w.view.hovered_uri
if uri then
window.new{uri}
end
end), |
and so that it works well with awesome WM, I added a rule to make sure the new window opens with the slave tiles (because I use this to spawn lots of tiles from a master window)
~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
Code: | --- {{{ Rules
awful.rules.rules = {
-- All clients will match this rule.
-- Start windows as slave
{ rule = { class = "luakit" }, properties = { }, callback = awful.client.setslave },
-- example rules
-- {{{
{ rule = { },
properties = { border_width = beautiful.border_width,
border_color = beautiful.border_normal,
focus = true,
keys = clientkeys,
buttons = clientbuttons } },
{ rule = { class = "MPlayer" },
properties = { floating = true } },
{ rule = { class = "pinentry" },
properties = { floating = true } },
{ rule = { class = "gimp" },
properties = { floating = true } },
-- Set Firefox to always map on tags number 2 of screen 1.
-- { rule = { class = "Firefox" },
-- properties = { tag = tags[1][2] } },
-- }}}
}
-- }}} |
I remember back in the day, using MyIE as a wrapper for internet explorer, enabling tabs and other stuff. I thought, wow! This is the future. This is what all power users and regular users will want. Sure enough, all major browsers are now tabbed.
I don't think I'll be using tabs much anymore, |
