install.xubuntu.12.04

From a clean Xubuntu 12.04 install

1.) Boot the install cd and follow instructions to do the base
install.  Set up machine as desired. Fairly
self-explanatory. Partitioning should be roughly as follows, adjusted
for available disk size as appropriate (including for RAID). Disk
labels should be representative of the mount point.

Pysical Partitions:
1	1GB	/boot
2	Rest	physical volume for LVM*


* = Alternatively, do volume for encryption, containing a single LVM
partition.

- If you are doing RAID, then you want the above physical partition
  scheme across multiple drives, with each one set up for "Physical
  volume for RAID". Then you create MD devices for each pairing (same
  partition on each drive) and then define it to be whatever it is
  above, and continue on as normal from there.

- These should represent MINIMUM sizes, and is sized for 500GB
  HDD's. More is often better.

LVM Partitions
swap		Amount of RAM + a bit[1]
tmp		10GB	/tmp
var		10GB	/var
root		20GB	/
home		Rest	/home

[1] This is mainly important for machines where you want to
hibernate. You need at least as much swap space as you have RAM, so do
that plus a bit. Old standard is 2 * RAM, which is plenty, but is a
bit overkill with modern machines. On the other hand, if you never do
a full hibernate (because it just takes too long to read back 16GB of
RAM from disk), set it to something reasonable. Swap kind of sucks
anyway..

(For some machines, a common area of /pub, or /shared, might be
appropriate, and should be taken out of /home)


## NOTE: All this stuff assumes that you're root, such as with "sudo -s"

2.) Install useful base things

sudo apt-get install emacs

3.) After machine is up, run synaptic, go to settings->repositories
make sure the following are enabled:

- main
- universe
- restricted
- multiverse
- source code

Select other software tab and enable/add:
- partner
- partner (Source Code)
- independent
- independent (Source code)

Select updates tab and enable:
- precise-security
- precise-updates
- precise-backports

(or just grab sources.list from some reasonable machine)

Select Statistics and enable:
- submit statistical information

4.) Do:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

5.) Install things:
apt-get install nmap traceroute emacs emacs-goodies-el css-mode openssh-server symlinks sysstat ifstat dstat ssmtp heirloom-mailx apg whois powertop mii-diag gif2png cups-pdf units tofrodos gcc make g++ gdb autoconf libtool automake libc6-dev samba smbfs libsane-extras xsane scribus scribus-template texlive texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra latex2html latex2rtf gnuplot gnuplot-mode thunderbird enigmail firefox unison unison-gtk digikam kipi-plugins meld ntp unrar openoffice.org xmlstarlet mesa-utils okular okular-extra-backends k3b libk3b6-extracodecs libtk-gbarr-perl subversion mono-runtime monodevelop monodevelop-nunit monodevelop-versioncontrol monodoc-manual glade mono-gmcs smartmontools gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly vnc4server xvnc4viewer aspell aspell-en pidgin-extprefs pidgin-plugin-pack openjdk-7-jdk icedtea-7-plugin gqview konqueror kaffeine xine-ui mpg123 sox rhythmbox openoffice.org-help-en-us kcachegrind kcachegrind-converters graphviz hfsplus normalize-audio audacity libsox-fmt-all input-utils mysql-client nant sqlite3 libmono-i18n2.0-cil libmono-microsoft8.0-cil p7zip dvdbackup dia-gnome gsfonts-x11 ubuntustudio-font-meta fontmatrix kate powertop latencytop python-pycurl python-paramiko python-setuptools regexxer apt-show-versions git-core gitk git-svn speedcrunch mp3gain vorbisgain amarok kmail libmath-round-perl krita dosbox apt-file keepassx picocom qbrew manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev manpages-dev manpages c-cpp-reference ipcalc clusterssh logcheck preload mozplugger flashplugin-installer eclipse clusterssh pssh dh-make devscripts chromium-browser chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra ktorrent shutter libgoo-canvas-perl gnome-web-photo sound-juicer djvulibre-bin djvulibre-plugin djvusmooth pdf2djvu usb-imagewriter iftop pidgin-skype wireshark atop gkrellm xfce4-goodies tomboy mail-notification ubuntu-restricted-extras ia32-libs libc6-i386 acroread mercurial icewm icewm-themes icewm-gnome-support skype hpodder icedax pulseaudio-esound-compat cheese vpnc arandr blender quake rott tree mame mame-tools libav-tools openvpn gdisk wakeonlan wine kdenlive dvdstyler tesseract-ocr davfs2 sshfs ffmpeg2theora mp3info

6.) Set up static IP's (for machines with them)
- edit /etc/network/interfaces, and add lines like:
auto iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.9.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.9.254

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

- and set the DNS server in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base

- Then restart it:

sudo service resolvconf restart

7.) Make ssh work:
## For an old machine, use the old keys - you did save /etc, didn't you?

## For a new machine, use the new keys generated by the distro.

- make sure to add to the firewall
ufw allow ssh

- set:
- PermitRootLogin no

- once you've set up public key auth, turn off password access. edit
    /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and set
    PasswordAuthentication no

service ssh restart

8.) Turn on the firewall.

ufw enable

9.) Fix cron - add the following to the top of personal crontab:

MAILTO="matt@mattcaron.net"

10.) Install dvd decoder

echo "deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list
echo "deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list
wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc|sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

11.) latex
    cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex
    cp -a ~/system_stuff/latex/local .
    chown -R root:root local
    cp -a ~/system_stuff/latex/fonts/cookingsymbols.tfm /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/.
    mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/
    chmod a+rx /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/
    cp -a ~/system_stuff/latex/fonts/cookingsymbols.mf /usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/.
- then run texconfig and select "rehash"
- Also, set the paper to US

12.) ntpd (for fixed machines only, for mobile, the default is fine)

## for server, make sure to add to ufw
ufw allow ntp

## for client
- edit /etc/ntpd.conf and comment out the line:
server ntp.ubuntu.com
- and add the line:
server router

13.) cups
- sudo system-config-printer
- add printers as appropriate
- Under Server->Settings select:
    Show printers shared by other systems
- For servers, under "Server Settings", select:
    Publish shared printers conected to this system
- make sure to enable it in the ufw
    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.9.0/24 to any port ipp

14.) Set up samba:

- Servers
    cd /etc/samba
    mv smb.conf smb.conf.old
    cp ~/system_stuff/samba/smb.conf.`hostname` ./smb.conf
    update-rc.d smbd defaults
    update-rc.d nmbd defaults
    service smbd start
    service nmbd start

- make sure to add ufw rules for it
    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.9.0/24 to any port netbios-ns
    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.9.0/24 to any port netbios-dgm
    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.9.0/24 to any port netbios-ssn
    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.9.0/24 to any port microsoft-ds

- Other machines
  - Remember to turn it off on places you don't want it.
    echo "manual" >> /etc/init/smbd.override
    echo "manual" >> /etc/init/nmbd.override
    service smbd stop
    service nmbd stop

15.) Set up ssmtp
    cd /etc/ssmtp
    mv ssmtp.conf ssmtp.conf.old
    cp ~/system_stuff/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf .
    chmod a+r ssmtp.conf

16.) Set up apache (if applicable)

- see install.apache

17.) Install handbrake media converter:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli

18.) Set up video editing:

- Add user to video group so I can capture video
sudo usermod -a -G video matt

19.) Set up sensors (if not set up automagically) for case

- For case / Gigabyte X48-DQ6 board
- add the following to /etc/modules:
it87
coretemp

- For hiro / Thinkpad T530:
- add the following to /etc/modules:
coretemp

(For new machines, this is accomplished by running sensors-detect and
following prompts - the defaults are typically fine.)

# FIXME - edit the conf file to fix scaling, etc.

20.) Add temperature monitoring script to crontab:

@hourly              /home/matt/bin/tempChecker

21.) Add updated intel graphics drivers

apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/intel-graphics-updates
apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

and, with that, you likely want the new kernel:

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal

22.) Set up logcheck
- edit /etc/cron.d/logcheck and set it to @daily and not every 2 hours

23.) Install d stuff:

apt-get install gdc-4.6 libphobos2-4.6-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libsqlite3-dev codeblocks astyle

24.) Install qbrew build dependencies:

apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev qt4-designer

25.) Install virtualbox bleeding edge

echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
chmod a+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install virtualbox-4.2

Make sure to add necessary users to the vboxusers group, ie:
sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers matt

26.) Install modern android device support (mtpfs)

apt-get install mtpfs mtp-tools
mkdir /media/android

27.) Updated xfce

apt-add-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

28.) In fixed systems, remove network-manager

sudo apt-get remove network-manager

29.) Set browser in thunderbird

This looks to be controlled by
matt/.thunderbird/default/ysovf56j.slt/mimeTypes.rdf. Find the
urn:scheme:externalApplication:http and https lines, and change them
to what you want. Sane choices are:
- `sensible-browser`, so it picks up the system settings, which are set with 
         `sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser`
- `exo-open`, which opens the selected one from XFce

30.) Install Mate
http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu precise main"
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring
# this install more packages
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

31.) Proprietary drivers (optional, for systems with ATI cards)

fglrx-updates

32.) Pulseaudio equalizer:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer

33.) Add Steam:

add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam.list:
echo "deb http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ precise steam" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam.list
chmod a+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steam.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F24AEA9FB05498B7

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install steam

reboot (because the above likely installed a new fglrx driver)

run steam:
steam

34.) Add PlayOnLinux

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E0F72778C4676186
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_precise.list \
     -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

35.) Add GetDeb games repo (PlayDeb)
wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | apt-key add -
add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb games"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install enemy-territory

36.) Add gcdemu

apt-add-repository ppa:cdemu/ppa 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcdemu

37.) symlink quake data to where it expects it.
cd /usr/share/games/quake/
sudo ln -s ~/dosbox/games/quake/id1 .

38.) symlink rott data where it expects it
cd /usr/share/games/
sudo ln -s ~/dosbox/games/rott .

also, fix the default symlink:

sudo update-alternatives --set rott /usr/games/rott-commercial

39.) Add firewall exception for iperf

sudo ufw allow from 192.168.9.0/24 to any port 5001

40.) Allow firewall exception for ktorrent:

sudo ufw allow 6881
sudo ufw allow 8881

41.) Fix Java to use Java 7.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

- and choose java-7

- and make it pretty. Edit
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/swing.properties and uncomment:

swing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

42.) Install updated kernels

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-raring-eol-upgrade

(the saucy upgrade seems to have a really dodgy scheduler, so I'm not
installing it)

43.) Fix dirty pages amount:

Ref: http://lwn.net/Articles/572911/ 

- as root:
cat > /etc/sysctl.d/90-dirty-ratio.conf <<EOD
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 2
vm.dirty_ratio = 2
EOD 

44.) Install epson scanner driver

Download the .deb packages from their website.

- it depends on xsltproc, so install that:

sudo apt-get install xsltproc

- It also depends on sane, but we installed that as a dependency of
  xsane during base system setup.

- and then install the packages:

sudo dpkg -i iscan_2.29.3-1~usb0.1.ltdl7_amd64.deb iscan-data_1.26.0-1_all.deb iscan-network-nt_1.1.1-1_amd64.deb

- Edit the /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf file and add:

net EPSON632112.home

- because that's the printer.

- The documentation says to comment out `epson2` in
  /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, but I didn't need to do that.

- This adds an `iscan` app which will find the printer on the network
  and try to use it, or you can just use xsane....
