Workstation setup

This is an ansible repository to setup an ubuntu machine the way I like it.

Usage

First run

Install git and clone this repository.

Install all dependencies by running sudo bash install_dependencies.sh.

Copy the config.example.yml to config.yml and set your details. Then proceed with updating.

Updating

To update a workstation to the latest state run

bash run.sh

Extended usage

Debug mode:

bash run.sh -vvv

Only run limited set of roles:

bash run.sh -t git

Additional

List available schemas: gsettings list-schemas

Get keys in a schema: gsettings list-keys org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock

Dconf

Dconf settings can easily be viewed with the dconf editor tool.

Troubleshooting

Enabling gnome extensions fails

Unfortunately installing and enabling gnome extensions in one run is currently not working. There is an issue about that topic.

For now you need to logout and login once and then re-run the script.

GTK CSS not applied

You need to reload gnome. Either log out and in once or press ALT + F2 and enter r in the prompt.
