And if you will be using U-Boot:
apt-get install uboot-mkimage
Do the following (as your user)
# generate an SSH key pair ssh-keygen # remove the guff rm -rdf ~/Desktop/ ~/Documents/ ~/Music/ ~/Pictures/ ~/Public/ ~/Templates/ ~/Videos/ ~/examples.desktop

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'
[edit] Other useful package names
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| mysql-server | MySQL Server |
| libmysqlclient-dev | MySQL CLI tools |
| libapache2-mod-fastcgi | Apache FastCGI module |
| python-dev | Python development files |
[edit] Additional packages for Ubuntu Server
# useful with X forwarding apt-get install xterm x11-xserver-utils
[edit] Disabling Automounting
To enable or disable automount open a terminal and type gconf-editor followed by the [Enter] key.
Browse to /apps/nautilus/preferences/.
The media_automount key controls whether to automatically mount media. If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically mount media such as user-visible hard disks and removable media on start-up and media insertion.
There is another key media_automount_open. This controls whether to automatically open a folder for automounted media. This key can also be set in the Nautilus (file manager) window. From the Edit menu in Nautilus select Preferences and then select the Media tab.
If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically open a folder when media is automounted. This only applies to media where no known x-content/* type was detected; for media where a known x-content type is detected, the user configurable action will be taken instead.
[edit] Apache (for development use ONLY)
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
Important config files are:
-
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf -
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*
[edit] Checking the Version
lsb_release -a[edit] Configuring System Services
I like sysv-rc-conf. Simples - it makes use of update-rc.d.
[edit] Python Libraries
Run as root:
sudo apt-get install python-cheetah
[edit] Serial Console
/etc/init/ttyS0.conf
# ttyS0 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on ttyS0 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again. start on stopped rc or RUNLEVEL=[2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] respawn exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102
