Install scripts for Gentoo

Note:

• The scripts here are not meant to be executed directly.
• This folder should reflect the equivalents of /dist-arch/ but under Gentoo.
  • When /dist-arch/ is newer than this folder, an update on this folder is very likely needed.
  • Useful link: Commit history on dist-arch/

install-deps.sh

1. Enables localrepo and guru overlays if not already enabled.
2. Copies keywords to keywords-user and appends the correct unmask keywords for the user's architecture (adm64, arm64, and x86 are supported).
3. keywords-user and useflags are copies over into the proper portage directories. Quickshell also uses a live ebuild.
4. Syncs, updates, and depcleans @world.
5. Copies over the custom live ebuilds (hyprgraphics, hyprland-qt-support, hyprland-qtutils, hyprlang, hyprwayland-scanner) into localrepo and digests them.
6. Loops through all illogical-impulse ebuilds to digest and emerge them.

install-setup.sh

1. Creates the i2c group since Gentoo doesn't have this by default, then adds the user to it.
2. Enables bluetooth and ydotool services (systemd or openrc)
3. icons, konsole, hypr, and quickshell are are chowned to user since they're emerge in as root by default.
4. gsettings and kwriteconfig6 are set (same as dist-arch).

Recommended use flags (useflags)

• The recommended useflags are not required, this is a more out of the box experience with these
• Pipewire is used, alsa and pulseaudio are disabled (enabling them won't hurt).
• Init system is not assumed or considered so disabling systemd should be done in make.conf, same with session managers (elogind is recommended).

Making the dot-files work

• elogind is expected to be installed and run as a service on OpenRC to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
  • NOT recommended: seatd will require more manual setup
• pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber must be started after a dbus-session is created and before Hyprland is launched.

If you want to start after logging into tty1 you can do something like this.

if status --is-interactive; and [ (tty) = "/dev/tty1" ]
    # Start DBus session if not running
    if not set -q DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
        dbus-launch --sh-syntax | sed 's/^/set -gx /; s/=/ /' | source
    end

    # Start PipeWire if not running
    pgrep -x pipewire >/dev/null; or pipewire &
    pgrep -x pipewire-pulse >/dev/null; or pipewire-pulse &
    pgrep -x wireplumber >/dev/null; or wireplumber &

    # Launch Hyprland with DBus session
    exec Hyprland
end

Known Issues

• If Hyprland is just blank, rebuild Quickshell (emerge -q gui-apps/quickshell)
• Hyprland: error while loading shared libraries: libhyprgraphics.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  • The Hyprland live ebuild sometimes has linkage issues, deleting Hyprland and hyprland from /usr/bin/ and then re-emerging usually fixes this.
