cd development/i3-gaps && git pull && make && sudo make install
SET UP A NEW INSTALL
Ideally avoided but I've had to do a new install often on laptop, as OS X upgrades have been trashing bootability of my linux partitions and I haven't had time/skill to figure out why.
- do the one-line ubuntu software installation (as well as the dev one-line)
- do the mac-specific installs: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer xserver-xorg-input-mtrack
- copy entire home folder using: sudo rsync -aPside
- install i3-gaps again (see above)
- fix the trackpad settings again by putting this symlink in place: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-synaptics.conf
- sudo unity-control-center, Software & Updates, Additional drivers, NVIDIA binary driver
