  • Added to /etc/hosts: 172.19.100.1 gryphon
  • Added domain prefix for home and nxp to /etc/resolv.conf: search be-leu01.nxp.com wbi.nxp.com diamond.nxp.com hell
  • Proxy configuration - network nxp:
    • sshproxy → connect to NXP proxy with sshtunnel (with NTLM auth. if needed); forward IMAP/SMTP ports; opens a SOCKS5 proxy
    • privoxy → forward to ssh SOCKS5 proxy. provide http proxy server.
    • apt-get, wget, browsers... → through privoxy (env. set in /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/environment)
    • ftp → direct connection (no solution...)
  • Proxy configuration - network home:
    • sshproxy → direct connection; forward IMAP/SMTP ports; opens a SOCKS5 proxy (useless).
    • privoxy → direct connection. provide http proxy server.
    • apt-get, wget, browsers... → through privoxy (env. set in /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/environment)
    • ftp → direct connection

Preferences

  • Appearance
    • Fonts: All font size set to 8, except Title → 9.
  • 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)
  • Keyboard Shortcuts
    • Action Shortcut Remark
    Home Folder Win-E (Mod4-E) Hack Super is mapped to Win keys not needed anymore it seems
    Expo key Shift-Win-E (Shift-Mod4-E)
    Activate the window menu Shift-Alt-Space was conflicting with Gnome DO shortcut
  • Window List Panel (see here)
    • Window List Content → Show windows from all workspace
    • Restoring Minimized Windows → Restore to native workspace

Detailed Application Settings

Courier IMAP

  • Install:
    • Create directories for web-based administration
    • SSL Certificate: /etc/courier/pop3d.pem, /etc/courier/imapd.pem
    • Postfix configuration: local only
    • System mail name: nxl67002ux.wbi.nxp.com

Gnome DO

  • Autostart, Quiet mode, notification icon, Glass theme

SSH

  • Installed SSH-Tunnel
  • Files recovered from other installation (ssh-tunnel v2.26 + patch):
/usr/local/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ssh-agent-refresh_andlinux.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ssh-agent-refresh.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ssh.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ssh-tunnel.pl
  • User beq06659 - configuration file in directory ~/.ssh:
    • id_rsa || id_rsa.pub || authorized_keys || config* || proxy.conf* || clbanner.txt

Terminal

  • Set default window size (system-wide) to 150x43
  • Disabled menu shortcut key (F10) (conflicts with midnight commander)
  • Set scrollback to 5120 lines

VirtualBox

  • Installed with apt, version 3.2.0
  • We are booting Windows directly from the partition /dev/sda2. For this we create a raw disk, and update the MBR code to remove GRUB (requires package mbr):
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=opensource.mbr bs=512 count=1
sudo install-mbr -i n -p D -t 0 opensource.mbr                     # Requires package "mbr"
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename nxl67002-sda2-mbr.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 2 -relative -mbr opensource.mbr
See section Advanced storage configuration in Ch. 9 Advanced topics.
NOTE! The raw disk might need to be updated every time the partitioning change on the host drive. But may be this is not required since we used -relative.
  • VirtualBox must be booted as root:
gksudo VirtualBox&
  • Virtual machine NXL67002
    • Base Memory 1536 MB, 2 cpus, VT-x/AMD-V enabled, Nested Paging enabled
    • Video memory 48 MB, 2 monitors, 3D accel enabled, 2D accel enabled
    • Audio host driver PulseAudio, controller ICH AC97
    • Network PCnet-FAST III, bridged, eth0
    • Machine folder: permanent, full access, /windows/d as d
    • Default layount: seamless mode, extended desktop (windows taskbar on external monitor, gnome taskbar on primary monitor, workspace switcher panel on top bar)
