Debian Setup Scripts

These scripts automates the setup process for a Debian system, installing various software packages, configuring the GNOME desktop environment, and setting up development tools.

Prerequisites

  • A fresh installation of Debian.
  • Access to a user account with root privileges.

Important: If you assigned a password to the root account during the Debian installation, your regular user account may not have root privileges. To grant root privileges to your regular user, add the user to the sudo group as follows:

  1. Install the sudo package:

    apt install sudo

  2. Add your user to the sudo group:

    usermod -aG sudo <username>

    Replace <username> with your actual username.

Usage

To set up your Debian system, follow these steps:

  1. Install Required Packages
    Run the following command to install necessary tools:

    apt install -y wget zip git

    Optional: For driver installation, refer to the Installing Drivers guide.

  2. Clone the Repository
    Use git to clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/b-sullender/debian-setup.git

  3. Navigate to the Repository Directory

    cd debian-setup

  4. Run the Setup Script
    Execute the setup script:

    bash bookworm.sh

    Follow the prompts during execution and provide any required inputs.

GNOME

If your using the GNOME desktop environment or want to install it with the recommended configuration, run the GNOME configuration script:

bash config-gnome.sh

4K Resolution & Above

If you are using a 4K resolution or higher, you may want to scale the login screen accordingly. Follow these steps to adjust the login screen scaling:

  1. Create an override file by running the following command: 
    echo -e "[org.gnome.desktop.interface]\nscaling-factor=2" | sudo tee /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/93_hidpi.gschema.override > /dev/null
    Note: Change the value of scaling-factor (e.g., 2) to fit your needs.
  2. Reinitialize the schemas by executing the following command: 
    sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

This will successfully scale the login screen for 4K resolution and above.
