Detailed System Settings

1st install

  • 1st install on [2009-10-27]
  • Distribution: Ubuntu 9.10 Release Candidate
  • Installation method: Net boot install from Internet using GRUB (see here)
First copy files initrd.gz and linux from here to /boot, then in GRUB command-line (press c in GRUB menu):

  • Login name: arthur
  • Update: Install security updates automatically
  • Software to install: Ubuntu NBR

Upgrade to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04

  • Upgrade using the Update Manager
  • Everything's working fine! Fast NFS, xbmc boots automatically
    • Only needs to restore settings for Gyration remote (lirc...).

File System

For main partitions, see #Partition access conditions above.

  • Mount CIFS-share on Mnemosyne.
sudo mkdir -p /net/mnemosyne/public /net/mnemosyne/backup /net/mnemosyne/photos /net/mnemosyne/movies /net/mnemosyne/videos /net/mnemosyne/musics
sudo mkdir -p /net/mnemosyne/publicrw /net/mnemosyne/backuprw /net/mnemosyne/photosrw /net/mnemosyne/moviesrw /net/mnemosyne/videosrw /net/mnemosyne/musicsrw
sudo chown arthur /net/mnemosyne/*
sudo chgrp sambashare /net/mnemosyne/*

  • Fixed: CIFS shares not properly unmounted during shutdown - see bug here
  • Mount mnemosyne shares as NFS autofs (see [3])
  • Enabled /net automounter in /etc/auto.master (uncomment the following line):
/net     /etc/auto.net
  • Created Symlink:
sudo ln -s /net/mnemosyne/volume1/movies /mnt/mnemosyne/movies

Network

Preferences

  • Appearance
    • Fonts: All font size set to 8, except Title → 9.
  • Keyboard Layout (System-Wide)
    • Layout: Belgium (default) + USA, no separate layout
      Custom layout Belgium (file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be) to allow AltGr-; → '<' and AltGr-: → '>', and support Greek letters with AltGr-Shift.
    • 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
  • Shortcut Action Remark
    Super-E Home Folder Hack Super is mapped to Win keys not needed anymore it seems
    Shift-Super-E Expo key
    Shift-Alt-Space Activate the window menu was conflicting with Gnome DO shortcut
  • Window List Panel (see here)
    • Window List Content → Show windows from all workspaces
    • Restoring Minimized Windows → Restore to native workspace
  • Fonts
    • (/usr/local/share/fonts) BitStream Vera 1.10.
  • Windows
    • Movement Key: Super (Windows logo)
      because Alt-mouse is used in OpenOffice to move columns / rows
