* <s>Created path for mount points:</s>
<s><source lang="bash">
sudo mkdir /net
sudo mkdir -p /smb/mnemosyne

* 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>)

|-
|'''nmap''' (<tt>nmap</tt>)||For use with my git ''prj'' script
|}

=== Common Settings ===
==== /etc/sudoers ====
* '''SUDO''' - keep environment variables:
** <code>http_proxy</code>, <code>https_proxy</code> (to keep proxy settings for apt-get etc)
** <code>GREP_OPTIONS</code> (keep grep options)
** <code>DISPLAY</code>, <code>XAUTHORITY</code> (avoid doing <code>xhost local:root</code> before launching X pgm)
** <code>HOME</code> (e.g. to keep git aliases and settings when using etckeeper)
** <code>PASSWD</code> (e.g. to pass password via env. var to <code>mount.cifs</code>)
{{pl2|1=<source lang=bash>
Defaults env_reset
Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy https_proxy GREP_OPTIONS DISPLAY XAUTHORITY HOME"
</source>}}
* '''SUDO''' - Allow <code>truecrypt</code> and <code>rfkill</code> w/o password:
{{pl2|1=<source lang=bash>
ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/truecrypt
ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/rfkill
</source>}}

==== 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
sudo rm /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm
setxkbmap us
setxkbmap be
</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']"
* Fonts &mdash; disable ''embedded bitmaps''. See [[Fonts#MS Fonts not rendering correctly|Fonts]].

==== 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]].

* Configure the console:
<source lang=bash>
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
# utf-8 / latin1+latin5 / Terminus / 16
</source>

==== 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

* Add the following to {{file|~/.bash_profile}} and {{file|~/.profile}} to Meta-key ({{kb|Alt}}) not working and ''Midnight Commander'' displays <code>Press any key...</code> after each command when in ''tmux'' session [https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2479]:
<source lang=bash>
# This fix meta-key support and stop mc displaying "Press any key..." in tmux session
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
export TERM=xterm
fi
if [ -n "$TMUX" ]; then
export COLORTERM=rxvt
fi
</source>

==== Fonts ====
Antialiasing '''RGBA''', Hinting '''Slight''', Text scaling factor '''1.00'''.
