Revision as of 14:38, 19 September 2011

Do the following (as root) to help make Ubuntu less terrible:

apt-get install openssh-server samba
apt-get install subversion git-core
apt-get install libncurses5-dev
dpkg -r command-not-found command-not-found-data
echo "attie ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
sed -i -r "s/(stop on runlevel \[0)(16\])/\12\2/" /etc/init/gdm.conf

Generate an SSH key pair

Also see bashrc, samba

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.
