This page is for use with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [ 32-bit | 64 bit ]

Contents

Out-of-the-box configuration

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

# use bash you idiot
dpkg-reconfigure -plow dash
# install daemons
apt-get install openssh-server samba
# install libraries
apt-get install libncurses5-dev
# install 32-bit libs (if on a 64-bit host)
apt-get install ia32-libs
# install tools
apt-get install subversion git-core tree uboot-mkimage minicom
# sort out the 'ohh.. did you mean this?'
dpkg -r command-not-found command-not-found-data
# sort out 'sudo'
echo "attie ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
# stop X
sed -i -r "s/(stop on runlevel \[0)(16\])/\12\2/" /etc/init/gdm.conf

Generate an SSH key pair

Also see bashrc, samba, Xresources

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.

Apache (for development use ONLY)

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

Important config files are:

  • /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
  • /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*
