Linux tips and instructions

nstructions for linux:

get flash:

working on both firefox and chromium:

sudo apt-get install gnash gnash-common browser-plugin-gnash

perforance is bad, sound is perfect :) on youtube many videos can be watched in html5, their performance is way better( full framerate)

Get multitouch working:

On 11.10: sudo apt-get install touchegg and add it to startupapplications

on arch: yaourt -S touchegg (i think xD)

on others: compile touchegg

Put an image to microsd:​

(will erase files on sdcard)

dd if=/sdcard/linux.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1

How to get sound(if not working)​

sudo usermod -a -G audio yourusername

sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/snd

enable every dacl and dacr

disable dac and adc companding(if sound is choppy)

How to get network-manager working on systems with wpa supplicant installed(arch, raring, netinstall)

look at your modules: is there 3.1.10-g8c2655b-dirty? if not, i suggest downloading it from here

sudo apt-get install netwrok-manager network-manager-gnome

sudo leafpad /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf: change false to true

sudo leafpad /etc/network/interfaces should look like this:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

and remove /etc/wpa_supplicant. (sudo pcmanfm or sudo nautilus and then you have a fm with root.)

Mount internal:

sudo mkdir /media/internal

sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p7 /media/internal

internal is now on /media/internal, you can select any folder.

Get opengl:

install tegra drivers(find a deb, if in 12.10 you ca just enable it through software-sources.)

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swrast

How to resize img files:

From another linux image or from a linux pc: (i will show it with image called ubuntu.img)

cd /to/the/folder/of/the/image

e2fsck ubuntu.img -f

resize2fs ubuntu.img 3500M (3500M is new size, M means MB, G means GB...)

e2fsck ubuntu.img

How to get touchpad working:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack

and add to xorg.conf this at the end:

Section "InputClass

Identifier "elantech_touchscreen"

Matchproduct "elantech_touchscreen"

MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

Driver "mtrack"

EndSection

set keyboard layout:

add to startup programs this:

setxkbkmap de/en/fr

mount/chroot into an image from an other:(install programs to an image with no network manager)

sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p7 /media/int (mount internal)

sudo mount /media/int/media/.linux123.img /media/int (not linux 123, but .linux1, .linux2...)(now .linux123.img is on /media/int)

(sudo chroot /media/int) (now you are in the image)(internet connection should be there with 2.6 kernel)

Desktop tips:

Lubuntu/lxde:

Pro: The fastest and freakin light

Very customizeable

Beautiful

Easy to use with other components (etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE(or lubuntu)/autostart)

Con:Cant think of anything bad :)

Xubuntu/xfce4

Pro: Very fast

Costumizeable

Con:I dont Like it

no hw acceleration

xfwm4 didnt work with touch on an image

ugly?

kubuntu/kde4

Pro:Customizable

Looks good

Con:Slow

e17

Pro: touchoptimiced

fast

con: Ugly(download themes)

Not easy to use with other components

ubuntu

Pro: Looks cool

con: Sloooow

gnome: Doesnt work right on our device

gnome-classic/gnome-session-fallback:

Pro:nearly as fast as lxde

supercool look

good with touch and with keyboard

con: cant think of anything bad

plasma-active/kde-plasma: Not tested

I suggest installing sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback, it is very fast, volume buttons are working and you can set brightness.(also install gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-themes-standard)

Use Components from other desktops in lxde/xfce:

(to have a supercool looking fast desktop)

add to startupapplications the stuff you want or just run it:

in lxde: /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

in lubuntu:/etc/xdg/lxsession/lubuntu/autostart

in xfce/gnome/kde: i think there is a app for that: startup-applications i think

Docks:

Docky: works best(not working on all images)

Cairo-dock:not that smooth

Avant: not tested

unity-2d-launcher: the default unityy launcher you can see on the left in ubuntu-desktop

Panels:

lxpanel: Highly customizeable, fast, light

unity-2d-panel: love it, it is the top panel of ubuntu

xfce4-panel: little better than lxpanel

Use other Windor-managers in different desktops:

Add to startupapplications too or run te comand.

metacity --replace

openbox --replace

xfwm4 --replace
