This guide will walk through how I setup fresh installations of [[https://linuxmint.com/][Linux Mint]]. Linux Mint is an operating system for desktop and laptop computers. It is designed to work 'out of the box' and comes fully equipped with the apps most people need. This guide will walk through how I setup fresh installations of [[https://pop.system76.com/][POP!_OS]]. Pop!_OS is a free and open-source Linux distribution, based upon Ubuntu, and featuring a customized GNOME desktop environment known as COSMIC. The distribution is developed by American Linux computer manufacturer System76. Pop!_OS is primarily built to be bundled with the computers built by System76, but can also be downloaded and installed on most computers.
I use Linux Mint as my daily driver operating system on a variety of different machines. The intent of this guide is to make it easy for me to get back up and running quickly whenver I do a fresh installation. Pop!_OS provides full out-of-the-box support for both AMD and Nvidia GPUs. It is regarded as an easy distribution to set up for gaming, mainly due to its built-in GPU support. Pop!_OS provides default disk encryption, streamlined window and workspace management, keyboard shortcuts for navigation as well as built-in power management profiles.

#+TITLE: Windows 10 Setup
#+AUTHOR: James Blair
#+EMAIL: mail@jamesblair.net
#+DATE: <2020-09-26 Sat 06:45>
This org file will guide you through the process of setting a development environment in Windows 10 using Windows Subsystem for Linux.
The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup.
* Install windows subsystem for linux
To get underway we need to enable [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10][WSL2]]. This requires a 64bit installation of Windows 10 professional, build 18362 or higher.
#+NAME: Enable the wsl features
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# The vritual machine platform optional feature is required for wsl2
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
# Once the virtual machine platform is enabled we can enable wsl2
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
#+END_SRC
Once the wsl feature is enabled it is recommended to update the linux kernel package for wsl2.
*Note:* Before proceeding with the installation of WSL 2, you will need to have CPU virtualisation enabled on your machine. Depending on your CPU architecture this may involve updating your bios settings:
- For AMD CPUs, you will look for a feature called: "AMD (AMD Secure Virtual Machine, AMD SVM)"
- For Intel CPUs, you will look for a feature called: "Intel (Intel Virtualization Technology, Intel VT-x)"
Finally, for AMD CPUs you may need to update [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/d4l462/enabling_svm_on_laptop_leads_to_black_boot_screen/][UMA Framebuffer size]] to auto.
#+NAME: Update the linux kernel
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the update
powershell.exe curl.exe -L -o $env:TEMP\wsl_update_x64.msi https://wslstorestorage.blob.core.windows.net/wslblob/wsl_update_x64.msi
# Install the update automatically
Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I $env:TEMP\wsl_update_x64.msi /quiet'
#+END_SRC
Before we install a specific distribution of wsl we need to set the default version of wsl to version 2.
*Note:* you may need to reboot your machine before this command will complete successfully.
#+NAME: Set default wsl version
#+BEGIN_SRC
powershell.exe wsl --set-default-version 2
#+END_SRC
After enabling the wsl feature we need to download the distribution installer and open it.
For my tooling setup I currently use the Ubuntu distribution after historically preferring Debian. The reason for the shift is the native apt installation for an up to date ~emacs~ installation available in Ubuntu.
#+NAME: Download and run the ubuntu installer
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the appx package for ubuntu distribution.
powershell.exe curl.exe -L -o $env:TEMP\ubuntu.appx https://aka.ms/wslubuntu2004
# Install the appx package
powershell.exe Add-AppxPackage $env:TEMP\ubuntu.appx
#+END_SRC
*Note:* If you encounter an error while adding the package, I have needed to use the ~wsreset~ command in the past to first reset the windows store application.
After the installer runs we need to manually enter a username and password for the unix account that wsl will use.
You can use the following command to verify the distribution and version you now have installed ~powershell.exe wsl --list --verbose~.
* Install an x server for wsl
One of the ways we extend standard wsl functionality is installing an x server on windows to allow graphical applications to be run.
This has the added benefit of allowing command line clipboard tools like [[https://github.com/astrand/xclip][xclip]] to be used within wsl.
The x server I've found to be rock solid for this purpose is [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/][VcXsrv]]. Which is also open source.
#+NAME: Download and install VcXsrv
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the vcxsrv installer
powershell.exe curl.exe -L -o $env:TEMP\installer.exe https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/files/latest/download
# Install vcxsrv
powershell.exe $env:TEMP\installer.exe
#+END_SRC
After following through the installer we want to ensure VcXsrv launches at startup with our desired configuration.
To achieve this we can add an xlaunch configuration which is just xml with a fancy extension to our machines startup folder.
#+NAME: Apply our VcXsrv configuration
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
cd /mnt/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs/Startup
cat > VcXsrv.xlaunch << EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XLaunch WindowMode="MultiWindow" ClientMode="NoClient" LocalClient="False" Display="-1" LocalProgram="xcalc" RemoteProgram="xterm" RemotePassword="" PrivateKey="" RemoteHost="" RemoteUser="" XDMCPHost="" XDMCPBroadcast="False" XDMCPIndirect="False" Clipboard="True" ClipboardPrimary="True" ExtraParams="" Wgl="True" DisableAC="True" XDMCPTerminate="False"/>
EOF
cmd.exe /c VcXsrv.xlaunch
#+END_SRC
* Configure windows ten
Enable all tray icons to be visible and restart explorer
#+NAME: Configure tray icons
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Ensure all tray icons are visible
powershell.exe Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Micorosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer EnableAutoTray 0
# Restart explorer
powershell.exe ps explorer | kill
#+END_SRC
Additionally I normally take the following actions:
** Update taskbar layout
I normally take the following steps immediately for a new installtion, I have not found an easy way of automating this as yet:
- Hide the search box.
- Hide the task view button.
- Unpin all but explorer.
** Update start menu layout
I prefer to have no pinned "tiles" in my start menu. The script below will unpin all applications from start.
*Note:* In subsequent versions of Windows 10 this script seems to fail so I am back to doing this manually for now...
#+begin_src shell
powershell.exe -NoLogo
(New-Object -Com Shell.Application).
NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').
Items() |
%{ $_.Verbs() } |
?{$_.Name -match 'Un.*pin from Start'} |
%{$_.DoIt()}
#+end_src
** Lock screen configuration
I prefer a simple lock screen with no clutter so normally take the following steps:
- Untick show tips
- Set background to be picture and use in folder
- Remove status detailed or otherwise for apps on lock screen
** Fix inactive window title colors
One of the annoyances I have in windows ten is after setting a title bar color for windows as part of standard theming any inactive windows have an awful white glare instead of retaining that color. Thankfully there is a [[ https://winaero.com/blog/change-color-of-inactive-title-bars-in-windows-10][registry tweak]] we can do to fix this.
#+NAME: Configure inactive window title color
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
powershell.exe Set-ItemProperty HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Micorosoft\Windows\DWM AccentColorInactive ff484a4c
#+END_SRC
* Configure a web browser
My current browser of choice is [[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/][Firefox]]. This is primarily due to their respect for open source, user privacy and security and customisation.
#+NAME: Download and run firefox installer
#+begin_src shell
# Download the firefox installer
powershell.exe curl.exe -L -o $env:TEMP\firefox.exe https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox
# Launch the installer
#env:TEMP\firefox.exe
#+end_src
One of the customisations we apply is to update the color of the newtab page in firefox to match the rest of the theme we use and prevent white glare. To achieve this we use [[https://superuser.com/questions/1235975/change-firefox-new-tab-background#][usercss]].
Note there is an about:config setting that needs to be set to enable these stylesheets to be used ~toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets~
#+NAME: Configure usercss

#+TITLE: Windows Subsystem for Linux Setup
#+AUTHOR: James Blair
#+EMAIL: mail@jamesblair.net
#+DATE: <2020-09-26 Sat 08:20>
This guide will walk through setting up [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux][Windows Subsystem for Linux]] on Windows 10. This particular setup contains my opinionated view of a good foundation and layers on some pairing and development orientated tooling over top.
*Caveats:* Please note this guide is written for the [[https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH4MSV6][Ubuntu WSL distribution]].
*Acknowledgements:* Large elements of this wsl setup came about through collaboration with the great people at [[https://ii.coop][ii.coop]]. I encourage you to explore and contribute to their work on [[https://gitlab.ii.coop][gitlab]] as many elements form a core part of this setup and workflow.
** Step 1 - Setup home folder structure
After installing the Ubuntu WSL distribution no folders are present in your home folder.
In this section we create some quick standard folders to keep our home folder somewhat organised.
#+NAME: Setup home folder strucuture
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Ensure we are in our home folder
cd ~/
# Create a documents folder for our git repositories
mkdir Documents
# Create a downloads folder for temporary objects
mkdir Downloads
#+END_SRC
** Step 2 - Update and install packages
To get started we ensure the package manager is up to date.
#+NAME: Update system packages
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
#+END_SRC
Next we install a series of standard packages that form part of our workflow or are dependencies for other tools in our environment.
#+NAME: Install standard packages
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
sudo apt-get install -y git locales curl wget xclip xsel tmux tmate net-tools less wget htop screenfetch zip openssh-client dictd knockd python3-pip emacs apt-transport-https software-properties-common ca-certificates dirmngr xterm xtermcontrol jq
#+END_SRC
We use [[https://docker.io][docker]] to run containers or kind (kubernetes in docker) locally.
#+NAME: Install docker
#+begin_src shell
# Download and add Docker's official public PGP key.
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
# Add the `stable` channel's Docker upstream repository.
sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
# Update the apt package list and install docker packages.
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
# Allow your user to access the Docker CLI without needing root access.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# Ensure the docker service is started
sudo service docker start
#+end_src
For additional package management namely ~bitwarden~ we use [[https://www.npmjs.com/][node package manager]]. The code below installs node ~16.x~, which is the latest stable release as of <2021-10-02 Sat>.
#+NAME: Install node
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Curl down the shell script for adding version 12 of nodejs to apt
sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo bash -
# Install the nodejs package via apt
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
#+END_SRC
For managing secrets we use [[https://bitwarden.com/][bitwarden]] which provides a great [[https://github.com/bitwarden/cli][cli utility]].
This section should be expanded in future to cover setting alias for common bitwarden tasks.
#+NAME: Install bitwarden and login
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Install the bitwarden cli via node package manager
sudo npm install -g @bitwarden/cli
# Test login to bitwarden
bw login mail@jamesblair.net
#+END_SRC
For working with google cloud platform we use the [[https://cloud.google.com/sdk/][GCP SDK]], which provides our cli tools.
#+NAME: Install google cloud sdk
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the sdk archive
curl -o gcpsdk.tar -O https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/channels/rapid/downloads/google-cloud-sdk-311.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
# Extract to a folder in path
sudo tar xvf gcpsdk.tar -C /usr/local/
# Correct folder permissions
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/local/google-cloud-sdk
# Run the install script
/usr/local/google-cloud-sdk/install.sh
#+END_SRC
For working with [[https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/][Microsoft Azure]] we need the [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/][Azure CLI]].
#+NAME: Install azure cli
#+begin_src shell
# Modify your sources list so that the Microsoft repository is registered
AZ_REPO=$(lsb_release -cs)
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ $AZ_REPO main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list
# Import the encryption key for the Microsoft Ubuntu repository.
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
# Install the Azure CLI.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install azure-cli
#+end_src
For working with [[https://aws.com][Amazon Web Services]] we need the [[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-linux.html][AWS CLI]].
#+NAME: Install amazon web services cli
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the binary
cd ~/Downloads/
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
# Install
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install
# Clean up

For cloud infrastructure deployments we use [[https://www.terraform.io/][terraforms]].
#+NAME: Install hashicorp terraforms
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Download the binary
wget 'https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.24/terraform_0.12.24_linux_amd64.zip'
# Unzip it
unzip *.zip
# Move the binary to path
sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/
# Clean up
rm *amd64.zip
#+END_SRC
For ad-hoc system administration we use [[https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x ][ansible]]. We install ansible via ~pip~ to ensure any modules or additional packages required at a later date can be easily managed.
For significant ansible or python projects a virtual environment for python is suggested to keep project packages separate from system python packages.
#+NAME: Install ansible via pip
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
pip3 install ansible
#+END_SRC
** Step 3 - Setup environment dotfiles
Within wsl we can use .dotfiles to further customise our environment. The script below restores my versions of key dotfiles automatically.
*Note:* The git clone below relies on having permission to clone the repository referenced. For me this means having an ssh key present which has been added to gitlab.
*** Obtain ssh keys from bitwarden
In order to be able to clone the repository in the next step we need to obtain our ssh keys from bitwarden. Given we have installed the bitwarden cli we can mostly automte this process minus the initial login to bitwarden.
#+NAME: Obtain ssh keys from bitwarden
#+begin_src shell
# Ensure we have an ssh-agent running
eval `ssh-agent`
# Generate a new blank key to overwrite
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/james -q -P ""
# Ensure we have an active bitwarden session
export BW_SESSION=$(bw unlock --raw > ~/.bw_session && cat ~/.bw_session)
# Export both keys
export key=$(bw get item desktop --pretty | grep notes)
# Extract private key
export private=${key:12}
export private=${private/END RSA*/END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----}
echo $private | awk '{gsub(/\\n/,"\n")}1' > ~/.ssh/james
# Extract public key
export public=${key/*ssh-rsa/ssh-rsa} && echo ${public::-2} | awk '{gsub(/\\n/,"\n")}1' > ~/.ssh/james.pub
#+end_src
*** Clone and restore dotfiles
Once our keys are available to us we can clone down our dotfiles and get back to our comfortable normal terminal environment.
#+NAME: Clone and restore the dotfiles
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Remove the interactive host prompt
ssh-keyscan -p 2224 gitlab.jamma.life >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
# Clone down this repository
git clone ssh://git@gitlab.jamma.life:2224/jmhbnz/tooling.git ~/Documents/tooling/
# Restore all dotfiles
cp ~/Documents/tooling/.* ~/
# Reload bashrc with updated version
source ~/.bashrc
#+END_SRC
** Step 4 - Install humacs editor
An integral part of our pair development workflow is [[https://github.com/humacs/humacs][humacs]]. Below are the instructions to install this directly in WSL, note there are other options to install in the documentation linked above.
#+NAME: Install and configure humacs
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Clone down humacs
git clone --recursive https://github.com/humacs/humacs /home/$USER/
# Need to ensure environment variables are set for load path
export EMACSLOADPATH=/home/$USER/humacs
#+END_SRC
** Step 5 - Setup mutt email client
For reading email we ideally use a cli based client for fast searching and lightweight mail reading.
The [[https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/][mutt]] mail client fills these roles well for imap mailboxes.
The first step to setup mutt is to ensure it is installed.
#+NAME: Install mutt
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
sudo apt-get install -y mutt urlscan
#+END_SRC
After installing mutt we then need to create configuration directories and files.
#+NAME: Create mutt config files
#+BEGIN_SRC tmate
mkdir -p ~/.mutt/cache/headers
mkdir ~/.mutt/cache/bodies
touch ~/.mutt/certificates
#+END_SRC
One configuration folders and files exist we just need to populate our user mutt configuration file with a configuration for our particular mail provider.
The example provided in this repository utilises the ~bitwarden~ cli utility for secrets to ensure these are securely gathered at runtime and not stored in the file.
