dsl-wall is an IRC client setup which auto starts on a Raspberry Pi Zero. On certain user actions, hooks are executed. They trigger devices in the space, such as the lights or a printer.

Setup

1. Make sure that Smuxi, X, and Ratpoison are installed.

2. Enable auto login on the Rasperry Pi.

3. Install the Adwaita-dark theme into:

   ~/.themes/Adwaita-dark
   

4. Clone to: ~/dsl-wall

5. Link configuration:

   ln -s ~/dsl-wall/.bash_profile ~
   ln -s ~/dsl-wall/.gtkrc-2.0 ~
   ln -s ~/dsl-wall/.xsession ~
   ln -s ~/dsl-wall/smuxi_config ~/.config/smuxi
   ln -s ~/dsl-wall/smuxi_hooks/* \
       ~/.local/share/smuxi/hooks/engine/protocol-manager
   

6. Install lprng:

   sudo apt install lprng
   

   And create /etc/printcap for our printer:

   lq590|localprinter:\
   :lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
   :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lq590:\
   :mx#0:\
   :sh:
   

   Followed by:

   sudo service lprng restart
   

DND

The idea of DND, the do-not-disturb mode, is to turn off the blinking for a while. It needs to be activated from the command line from the directory smuxi_scripting_fun.
