My Eee pc custom config.

So I’ve been working on my Eee pc config this weekend. I took some info from different sources. One of the best is Eeeuser.com forum and wiki. An other nice custom write up is from Infinite Designs, there is a lot of custom config from him.

Here is my “steps” to get a nice good Eee PC setup: (my notes are in french, but you’ll understand fine reading the code”

Setup custom Eee PC

1- update des logiciels preinstalle
- “settings tab” / “add/remove software”
- Enlever tout ce qui n’est pas utilise

2- retirer SCIM, on utilise pas les langues obscure
sudo apt-get remove xandros-scim
sudo apt-get remove scim

3- Ajuster les preferences de IceWM
mkdir /home/user/.icewm
cp /etc/X11/icewm/* /home/user/.icewm/
vi .icewm/preferences

TaskBarShowWorkspaces=1
TaskBarShowAllWindows=0
WorkspaceNames=” 1 “, ” 2 “

vi .icewm/toolbar2

#prog “SOS” taskmanager ksysguard —showprocesses
#prog “Eee PC Tips” eeepctips firefox file:///opt/xandros/share/eeetips/index.html
prog “Shutdown” shutdown /opt/xandros/bin/shutdown_dialog shutdown

3- changer la console pour konsole
sudo update-alternatives —config x-terminal-emulator

- modifier les couleurs
- “Settings > Schema > Linux Colours”
- “Settings > Save as Default”

4- Theme de Firefox pour whitehart

5- ajouter le addon a firefox FullerScreen
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4650

6- Screensaver Power Management

- “Power Management > Power Control”, “disable, 5min, 5min”

7- Activation du “full desktop”

sudo apt-get install ksmserver kicker

Reboot

8- Ajouter un repository

9- Installer openssh
sudo apt-get install ssh

10- Installer VLC
sudo apt-get install vlc

11- Permission du mount de la carte SD
sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/50-xandros-udev.rules

recherche:
BUS==”usb”, KERNEL==”sd*[!0-9]”, NAME=”%k”, MODE=”0660”, GROUP=”floppy”, SYMLINK+=”disks/Removable/%k”, RUN+=”/usr/bin/usbstorageapplet zip %k”

remplacer par:
BUS==”usb”, KERNEL==”sd*[!0-9]”, NAME=”%k”, MODE=”0777”, GROUP=”floppy”, SYMLINK+=”disks/Removable/%k”, RUN+=”/usr/bin/usbstorageapplet zip %k”

Reboot.

That’s it. If only I could get Ruby & Rails working on it right now. It’s almost working… But my present projet that I’m working on doesn’t work at all. I get an error 500 and I can’t figure out why. I’ve tried it in Xandros and EeeXubuntu.
