  • Apply common settings (see below)

    • Panda glGo 1.4.1 (does not work on Oneiric 64-bit)
  • Install latest updates:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Ubuntu 12.04
sudo vi /etc/default/apport                         # Disable apport by setting "enabled=0"
sudo etckeeper commit "disable apport"

Common repositories

See install script above

Common Applications

Opera (opera) See Opera to fix apt key issues
Synapse (synapse) Using Ctrl-Alt-Space as shortcut 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:synapse-core/ppa

etckeeper (etckeeper) Configured to use git as SCM, AVOID_DAILY_AUTOCOMMITS, AVOID_COMMIT_BEFORE_INSTALL
mDNS (libnss-mdns avahi-daemon mdns-scan) After install, do: 
mdns-scan

Machine should broadcast its ip address on griffin.local to all avahi clients. For some strange reason, avahi may append a -2 suffix to broadcast name. To avoid that, edit /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf and set host-name variable: 

host-name=griffin
Midnight Commander (mc) See reference page. Use vi as standard viewer/editor. Installed version from mc official repository to fix file highlighting issue.
AutoSSH (autossh)
SSH (ssh) Local settings
Vim (vim vim-gnome exuberant-ctags) including GVim to enable support of X clipboard

Samba (smbclient cifs-utils)
  • Use package smbfs for u1204 Precise Pangolin and before
NFS Server (nfs-kernel-server nfs-common rpcbind) See NFS for more details; Created entries in /etc/exports. rpcbind replaces portmap since Oneiric.
AutoFS (autofs)
  • Mount mnemosyne shares as NFS autofs (see [1]) and as SMB autofs
Enabled/created the following automounters in /etc/auto.master:
/net           /etc/auto.net
/smb/mnemosyne /etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne
  • Create configuration file /etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne
  • Create SMB credential files /etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne.* (see man mount.cifs)
  • Created path for mount points:
sudo mkdir /net
sudo mkdir -p /smb/mnemosyne
# ls /net/mnemosyne
# sudo mkdir -p /mnt/mnemosyne
# for i in /net/mnemosyne/volume1/*; do sudo ln -s $i /mnt/mnemosyne/$(basename $i); done
  • Or recover settings from an already configured host:
scp griffin:tmp/autofs.tgz .                                        # Configure autofs
sudo tar -xvzf autofs.tgz
sudo cp etc/* /etc
KeePassX (keepassx)

Flash Plugin 10 (flashplugin-installer)
  • Enable Ubuntu partner repository if needed(deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner).
  • In case of error failure to download extra data files flashplugin-installer, try
sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer

(Old recipe: 

sudo aptitude autoremove "flashplugin-*"
sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer
)
  • broken— This is too unstable, see next solution — On Ubuntu 12.04 with NVidia card, there is a bug 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 bug 968647):
sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo -e "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1\nOverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null
  • 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 metacity --replace&)
