Install with:
<source lang=bash>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:synapse-core/ppa

<source lang=text>
host-name=griffin

* Set <code>terminator</code> as default terminal for {{kb|Ctrl-Alt-T}} (since 12.04) [http://askubuntu.com/questions/70540/how-can-i-set-default-terminal-used-in-unity]:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'terminator --geometry=1220x720+100+100'

|-
|'''AutoFS''' (<tt>autofs</tt>)||
* Mount '''mnemosyne''' shares as '''NFS autofs''' (see [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs]) and as '''SMB autofs'''
:Enabled/created the following automounters in <tt>/etc/auto.master</tt>:
/net /etc/auto.net

# sudo mkdir -p /mnt/mnemosyne
# for i in /net/mnemosyne/volume1/*; do sudo ln -s $i /mnt/mnemosyne/$(basename $i); done
</source></s>
* Or recover settings from an already configured host:
<source lang="bash">
<source lang="bash">
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Exact\ Audio\ Copy/
scp griffin:tmp/autofs.tgz . # Configure autofs
regsvr32 sql*

|'''Flash Plugin 10''' (<tt>flashplugin-installer</tt>)||
* Enable Ubuntu partner repository if needed(<tt>deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner</tt>).
* In case of error <code>failure to download extra data files flashplugin-installer</code>, try
<source lang=bash>
sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer
</source>
(Old recipe:
<source lang="bash">sudo aptitude autoremove "flashplugin-*"
sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer
</source>)
* '''{{red|broken}}'''&mdash; This is too unstable, see next solution &mdash; On Ubuntu 12.04 with NVidia card, there is a bug ''[http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue Flash video appears blue]''. That link recommends to update ''libvdpau1'', but in my case it was already at the latest version. Instead the following did the trick (from [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/968647 bug 968647]):
<source lang=bash>
sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo -e "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1\nOverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null
</source>
* Another solution is to disable ''hardware acceleration'', by going into flash player settings. If the settings window is not clickable, first disable unity 3D (for instance with <code>metacity --replace&</code>)

=== Common Settings ===
==== Network ====
* '''Samba / NFS client''': Via ''autofs''

====Preferences====
* [[Ubuntu#Assign Ctrl-Alt-Del to Shutdown dialog|Use '''Ctrl-Alt-Delete''' for shutdown dialog]].

====Users====
<source lang=bash>
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -m -u 1100 marie
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -m -u 1200 isma
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -m -u 1300 emma
sudo passwd marie
sudo passwd isma
sudo passwd emma
</source>

====X11====
* Custom keyboard mapping '''be''':
<source lang=bash>
# From my profile
sudo cp ~/etc/be /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be
</source>
* Delete xkb cache files:
<source lang=bash>
sudo rm /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm
</source>
* Use ''CapsLock'' as an extra ''Esc'' key (see [[X#Configuring_Layout_Options]])
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "@as ['caps:escape']"

==== Miscellaneous ====
* Disable '''apport'''. Set <code>enabled=0</code> in <tt>/etc/default/apport</tt>

* Edit '''AppArmor tunables'''. If home directories are not located at ''/home'' (e.g. ''/data/home''), edit apparmor tunables. See [[Linux_Software#Evince|here for details]].

==== Workaround ====
* Install custom ''udisks'' package, version ''1.0.4-5ubuntu2.1fuu1'', to fix unreadable DVD-RW. See [[Linux_Admin#Udisks|udisks]], or [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/635499 bug 635499]).
sudo dpkg -i udisks_1.0.4-5ubuntu2.1fuu1_amd64.deb
