Development

GNU C/C++ compiler (g++)
C/C++ documentation (manpages-posix-dev stl-manual) Make SGI doc available at http://localhost/sgi :
ln -s /usr/share/doc/stl-manual/html /var/www/sgi
GNU libc documentation (glibc-doc)
openJDK 7 (openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-doc) Selected alternatives with:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
# TODO: Add others (like ant, javah, etc?)
openJDK 6 32-bit (openjdk-6-jdk:i386) Installing after OpenJDK7 brings less dependency issues it seems. See Griffin for alternatives
ia32 libraries (ia32-libs libc6-dev:i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib) TODO: Seems we should install ia32-libs-multiarch though...
Installing this package removed some package, so reinstall them back with:
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ dkms \
     nvidia-current virtualbox-dkms

Compiling with gcc -m32 still does not work though (missing 32-bit libgcc.a). Installing package gcc-4.6:i386 force removal of many 64-bit packages. Instead we go for solution given here:

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
Javadoc Installed on http://nxl67002ux/. JDK 1.4.2 in /data/www/javase/1.4.2/docs; JDK 6u21 in /data/www/javase/6/docs
Perl-doc html (perl-doc-html) Available from dwww, section Programming/perl
make documentation (make-doc)
USB dev libs (libusb-dev:i386) (NXP Telematics ATOP dev)
ARM RVDS 2.2 (NXP Telematics ATOP dev)
  • Recover env. at /cadappl from old install
ATOP 2.5g dev packages (patchutils lynx ncftp ksh tcsh sysvbanner flex bison dos2unix gawk) (NXP Telematics ATOP dev)
  • Main reference: bb/target/jvm/modules/j9port/srce/doc/build_on_linux.html
  • Create symlinks for RTK:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
sudo mkdir -p /usr/ccs/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/cpp /usr/ccs/lib/cpp
udev dev libs (libudev-dev:i386) (NXP Telematics ATOP dev)
custom udev rules (NXP Telematics ATOP dev)
File /etc/udev/rules.d/10-plugdev_hub.rules
# Even better, this rules also detects board removal, which allow to reset grp to 'root'
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", RUN+="/etc/udev/rules.d/plugdev_hub.sh"

File plugdev_hub.sh:

#! /bin/bash

# Set group to 'plugdev' for given hub device
function setgrp()
{
    DEVNAME=/dev/$(udevadm info -q name -p $1)
    chgrp plugdev $DEVNAME
}

# Reset group to 'root' if no ttyUSB device found for given hub
function resetgrp()
{
    TTYDEVS=$(find $1 -lname "*/ttyUSB*")
    if [ -z "$TTYDEVS" ]; then
        DEVNAME=/dev/$(udevadm info -q name -p $1)
        chgrp root $DEVNAME
    fi
}

if [ "$ACTION" = "add" -o "$ACTION" = "remove" ]; then
    F=/sys$DEVPATH
    while [ "$F" != "/sys" ] ; do 
        if [ -a "$F/bDeviceClass" ] ; then
            if [ "$(cat $F/bDeviceClass)" == "09" ] ; then
                if [ "$ACTION" = "add" ]; then
                    setgrp $F                           # add
                else
                    resetgrp $F                         # remove
                fi
                break
            fi
        fi
        F=$(dirname $F)
    done
fi
pypy (pypy)
  • Install pypy as virtual environment in ~/bin/local/pypy-env (see Python)
  • Install alias in ~/bin/local/bashrc.local:
if [ -a ~/bin/local/pypy-env/bin/pypy ]; then
    alias pypy=~/bin/local/pypy-env/bin/pypy
fi

Simple Settings

  • SUDO - keep environment variables:
    • http_proxy, https_proxy (to keep proxy settings for apt-get etc)
    • GREP_OPTIONS (keep grep options)
    • DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY (avoid doing xhost local:root before launching X pgm)
    • HOME (e.g. to keep git aliases and settings when using etckeeper)
Defaults        env_reset
Defaults        env_keep += "http_proxy https_proxy GREP_OPTIONS DISPLAY XAUTHORITY HOME"
  • SUDO - Allow truecrypt and rfkill w/o password:
ALL     ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/truecrypt
ALL     ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/rfkill
  • CRON - Add cron script ~/etc/crontab-noekeon (backup of wikis on Noekeon.org)
  • PROXY - script for automatic setup of network environment (proxy, ssh...) (see config files).
  • Security — Disabled control-alt-del in console as recommended in Ubuntu Server Guide. Comment out the following line in the file /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf:
#exec shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"
  • Add user www for synchronization of /data/www folder (localhost page):
sudo useradd -g www-data -G users -u 999 -s /bin/bash -m www
sudo passwd www
su - www
ssh-keygen                                         # Or copy .ssh/ copy from other www users
scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys
  • ~/bin — Convert scripts for new hostname nxl6717ux and NXL67170 (see ~/bin/restore_wiki.sh, ~/bin/generate_wiki_page.sh, ~/bin/set-network.sh, files in ~/.unison)
  • Force locale time to en_US.UTF-8. Add to ~/.profile:
export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"


For Telematics build environment

  • CRON - Add cron script ~/work/NXP/ATOP/crontab-svn-fetch (fetch svn database automatically)
  • Printer — add Canon network printer (select IPP network printer via DNS-SD for protocol)

Kernel

File System

  • For details, see /etc/fstab.
    • NTFSC: → do not mount automatically. Risk of corruption if mounted while VirtualBox is running!
      Also NTFS partition must be mounted without umask=007,gid=46, or will get operation not permitted when modifying timestamps:
    • Reiserfs/ → enable acl
    • ext4/data → enable acl and data=writeback
/dev/sda2               /c          ntfs        ro,users,nls=utf8,exec                0       2
UUID=...                /           reiserfs    notail,noatime,acl                    0       1
UUID=...                /data       etc4        defaults,noatime,data=writeback,acl   0       2
  • File system structure:

  • Configure acl on /data/d:
# VirtualBox uses /data/d as Windows D: drive. Since VirtualBox runs as 'vbox', all files gets vbox/vbox ownership.
# beq06659 user is in group 'vbox' so he can access all files created by vbox.
# We use acl so that files gets group access vbox/rwx, so that vbox can also access any file created by other users.
# OLD CONFIG:
# # VirtualBox uses /data/d as Windows D: drive. Since VirtualBox runs as 'root', all files gets root/root ownership.
# # We use acl so that files gets group access beqO6659/rwx by default
cd /data
sudo chgrp -R vbox d
sudo chmod -R g+w d
find d -type d -print0|sudo xargs -0 chmod g+ws
find d -type d -print0|sudo xargs -0 setfacl -m d:group:vbox:rwx
  • Configure acl on /data/www:
# Set default access condition to rwxr-xr-x / www / www-data
cd /data
sudo chgrp -R www-data www
find www -type d -print0|sudo xargs -0 chmod g+s
find www -type d -print0|sudo xargs -0 setfacl -m d:group:www-data:r-x

  • Keyboard Layout (System-Wide)
    • Layout: Belgium (default) + USA, no separate layout
      Custlayout Belgium (file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be) to allow AltGr-; → '<' and AltGr-: → '>', and support Greek letters with AltGr-Shift.
    • Options: Capslock as an additional ESC key,
    Alt+CapsLock or Right Ctrl+Right Shift switch layout ((because Alt+Shift,Left Ctrl+Left Shift prevents ctrl-alt-shift shortcuts to work, Right Ctrl conflicts with VirtualBox)) disable layout switching, right alt chooses 3rd level.

Courier IMAP

  • Install (reference here):
    • Create directories for web-based administration
    • SSL Certificate: /etc/courier/pop3d.pem, /etc/courier/imapd.pem
