Ubuntu 11.04 Checklist

(Checklist for 10.10 is here. )

1. Do first
2. Compiz Fusion
3. Apache

Do first Turn off sound effects. Set windows to roll up when titlebar is double-clicked, and to get the focus when the mouse is over them. If in its last life this motherboard was a Windows machine, Set the hardware clock to the system clock which should have been updated via ntp (check that ntp is running). $ sudo aptitude install ntp ntpdate [edit /etc/ntp.conf if necessary] [use ntpdate with ntp server name to fix] $ sudo hwclock -w Download some files: wget http://jkcunningham.com/code/.Xdefaults wget http://jkcunningham.com/code/.mrxvtrc wget http://jkcunningham.com/code/.hgrc wget http://jkcunningham.com/code/dot-sbclrc wget http://jkcunningham.com/code/dot-emacs wget http://jkcunningham.com/code/dot-bashrc-11.04 Make any changes in /etc/skel/.bashrc before creating other accounts. This way they propagate to new accounts automatically. In particular, add the following — and make sure the PATH gets defined above the non-interactive escape near the top: alias lt='lrtF' alias ssh='ssh -X' # evince wants an older version of libz.so which I keep in /usr/local/lib # The current version is in /home/jcunningham/lib/ for graphics work in Lisp alias evince='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib && evince' PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${HOME}/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Make sure main user is a member of audio, networks, wifi, etc. groups. Add root as a user: $ sudo passwd root [run System Settings / Users and Groups] Install mrxvt and aterm (the latter saved my ass once when mrxvt/xterm/Eterm were all logging me out on launch). Add them to the ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ folder so they look like this: $ sudo apt-get mrxvt aterm $ cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts $ nano mrxvt #!/bin/sh cd && mrxvt $ nano aterm #!/bin/sh cd && mrxvt $ chmod +x mrxvt aterm

Compiz Fusion Make sure the latest 3d accellerated device drivers are installed (e.g. Nvidia) so it will run. Install compiz-fusion. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Go into System Settings -> CCSM -> General Settings and set the desktop size to 4 across, 1 down Now turn on the cube, rotating cube, and modify the keybindings. Will need to turn on some other stuff which gets cleared. Here is the list of what I have running: Composite, Gnome Compatibility, OpenGL Desktop Cube, Ubuntu Unity Plugin, Rotate Cube, Viewport Switcher 3D Windows Cube, Reflection and Deformation, Window Decoration JPEG, Png, Svg Bailer, Compiz Library Toolbox, Workarounds Move Window, Resize Window, In the Unity Plugin, set the panel opacity to about .5 and crank the icon size down as small as it goes (in experimental) After installing CCSM, fix the panel width and make it semi-transparent (go to Desktop/Unity plug in, check experimental section

Apache Install apache2 sudo apt-get install apache Install and a2enmod any missing modules from installation. Look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/. Here's what I have running now: ls -1 /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ alias.conf alias.load auth_basic.load auth_digest.load authn_file.load authz_default.load authz_groupfile.load authz_host.load authz_user.load autoindex.conf autoindex.load cgid.conf cgid.load deflate.conf deflate.load dir.conf dir.load env.load mime.conf mime.load negotiation.conf negotiation.load proxy_balancer.conf proxy_balancer.load proxy.conf proxy_html.conf proxy_html.load proxy_http.load proxy.load reqtimeout.conf reqtimeout.load setenvif.conf setenvif.load ssl.conf ssl.load status.conf status.load userdir.conf userdir.load Add the site files.
