Introduction

This is the configuration page for the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS (amd64) partition on NXL67002.

Configuration Files

All configuration files can be found here.

Repositories

Content of /etc/apt/preferences: 

Package: *
Pin: release a=natty-updates
Pin-Priority: 250

Package: *
Pin: release a=natty

We have a lot of repositories. So we must add to /etc/apt/apt.conf: 

// We added Natty repos, so APT need a bigger memory cache to work...
APT::Cache-Limit 37748736;

  • SUDO - keep environment variable http_proxy

#exec shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"
  • SUDO - keep environment variable GREP_OPTIONS
  • Add user www for synchronization of /data/www folder (localhost page):
sudo useradd -g www-data -G users -u 999 -s /bin/bash -m www
sudo passwd www
su - www
ssh-keygen                                         # Or copy .ssh/ copy from other www users

    • D: → mount as /win/d.
  • NTFS partition must be mounted without umask=007,gid=46, or will get operation not permitted when modifying timestamps:
/dev/sda2               /win/c          ntfs        ro,users,nls=utf8,exec   0       2

Preferences

  • Theme
    • The mighty Macbuntu 10.04 theme! Reverted changes:
    • Fonts — see below.
    • Terminal — Colors select Use colors from system theme (was set to Gray on black built-in schemes). Keep transparent background 95%.
    • Panel — add back System Monitor. We don't add back the bottom task panel.
    • In Configuration Editor, /apps/metacity/general/button_layout: menu:minimize,maximize,close
  • Appearance
    • (before Macbuntu) Fonts — Application → Tahoma 9; Document→ Sans 8; Desktop → Sans 8; Title → Sans Bold 9; Fixed width → Monospace 8
    • (after Macbuntu) Fonts — Application → Lucida Grande 9; Document→ Lucida Grande 9; Desktop → Lucida Grande 9; Title → Lucida Grande 10; Fixed width → Lucida Console 9 (originally Lucida Console 10)
    • Fonts — rename ~/.fonts.conf to ~/.fonts.conf.macbuntu to disable macbuntu hinting settings override.
  • Appearance
    • Isabelle Hires Noir&Blanc crop-despeckle 936x1200.png, in ~/etc.
  • Keyboard Layout (System-Wide)
    • Layout: Belgium (default) + USA, no separate layout

    • Options: Capslock affects all keys, Alt+CapsLock or Right Ctrl+Right Shift switch layout, right alt chooses 3rd level.
      (because Alt+Shift,Left Ctrl+Left Shift prevents ctrl-alt-shift shortcuts to work, Right Ctrl conflicts with VirtualBox)

  • Enable mod-rewrite module.
    In /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, change as: AllowOverride NoneFileInfo (twice).

mysql> CREATE DATABASE cryptokiwi;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cryptokiwi.* TO kiwi@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '********';
mysql> CREATE DATABASE mikiwiki;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mikiwiki.* TO miki@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '********';

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nxpwiki.* TO nxp@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '********';
mysql> quit

VirtualBox

See virtual machine configuration log.

  • Installed with apt (original version 3.2.0)
  • VirtualBox is launched as user root (because it seems that only the current user and root can access PulseAudio in a same X session — see [5])
  • Allow user beq06659 to launch VirtualBox through user root. Add to /etc/sudoers:
beq06659	ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/VirtualBox
  • Helper script to add to e.g. ~/bin :
#First allow user vbox to connect to X11
#xhost +SI:localuser:vbox
#sudo su vbox -c /usr/bin/VirtualBox&

#New config - run VirtualBox as root to allow sound
sudo /usr/bin/VirtualBox&

To Do

Issues

See Common Issues.

Other To Do's

  • ToDo — Try avahi for ZeroConf name resolution and get rid of /etc/hosts.
  • ToDo — look at Compact Human Theme (see Delicious)
  • ToDo — look at Legacy font hinting engine (see Delicious)
  • ToDo — Try to make Nautilus more space efficient. Look at Idea #23573. Try Thunar or PCManFM, or Xfe (the latter does not use gtk theme)
  • ToDo — Also for Eclipse:
  • ToDo — Adapt the search path in /etc/resolv.conf depending on the current network (for now, we statically append be-leu01.nxp.com, when actually this should be done only when on NXP network).
  • ToDo — Pieces of software to try:
  • ToDo — Have a look at Brain Fuck Scheduler, a new kernel scheduler with much better latency for desktops (see [7])
  • ToDo — Install openvpn (+CA Cert authentication?), instead of relying on ssh-tunnel
  • ToDo — Install remote secure storage using encfs over sshf (so that only encrypted data is seen from the server).
  • ToDo— Try Dovecot instead of Courier IMAP? (Dovecot is apparently faster thanks to its index caching feature)
  • ToDo— Setup correct UFW rules for NFS (see [8])
  • ToDo— Look at [[9]] utility for ways to optimize PC power consumption. See also [on LessWatts.org].
