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/*

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
