Sidux/Post-installation work

pl:Sidux_-_czyli_Debian_sid_krok_po_kroku_dla_każdego/Czynności_poinstalacyjne Repositories If you want to have an access to non-free, contrib and multimedia repositories just change "sources.list" file adding new server addresses. There are two ways to do so: 1. Midnight Commander's built-in text editor: Menu-> Accessories-> Terminal: su admin/root password mc a. Tab "Options" -> Configuration-> use internal edit-> make sure it is marked and Save it. b. Go to: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list -> edit it with F4 key. center|600px c. Change a line: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main center|600px d. For new one you can see below: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free e. Add new line of multimedia repo: deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main non-free f. Save the file with F2 bottom and escape using F10 key. g. Enter file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sidux.list and change the line for: deb http://sidux.com/debian/ sid main contrib non-free fix.main fix.contrib fix.non-free or: http://sidux.office-vienna.at/sidux/debian/ sid main contrib non-free fix.main fix.contrib fix.non-free h. Save it and quit Midnight Commander. 2. Mousepad text editor -> Terminal sux root password mousepad /apt/etc/sources.list.d/debian.list and mousepad /apt/etc/sources.list.d/sidux.list (sux command lets run softwares in graphic environment straight from a text console as root) a. Change first line and add other repositories addresses as you did using "mc". center|600px b. Tab File-> Save it and close editor. 3. Download "debian-multimedia-keyring" package (public key) from: http://debian-multimedia.org/ Go to Terminal and (as a root) install it: center|600px dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb b. Refresh packages list: apt-get update c. And install updates: apt-get dist-upgrade Language packages If you have chosen different language than English you may install missing language packages. Just check what's available to get, I used to install additional polish packages: apt-get install wpolish myspell-pl aspell-pl iceweasel-l10n-pl For KDE I install package: kde-i18n-pl Firewall The firewall "iptables" is pre-installed with the system, what you have to do is activate it. 1. The simplies way to do that is use "ufw" (Uncomplicated Firewall) so create two rules for firewall: all outgoing connection are allowed and all incoming connections are blocked: apt-get install ufw ufw enable You should get confirmation: Firewall is active and enabled on system startup You can always check the firewall status: ufw status Status: active Or deactive it (I suggest not): ufw disable 2. There is an another way to activate firewall using GUI software like Firestarter or Gufw or Guarddog for KDE. Mounting partitions After system installations all partitions should be detected and mounted automatically in "/media" folder. In a case if anyone missing you can mount it manually. Run terminal and type: sux root password fdisk -l You will get a list of all partitions on your computer drive including not mounted. Pernament mounting All partitions will be mounted pernamently editing "fstab" file, type it in Termial as root: mousepad /etc/fstab 1. "ntfs" file system partition (for example /dev/sda1) read only: add the line on the end of the list: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g ro,users,auto 0 1 a. Do not use "Space" button but "Tab" only. b. Create "sda1" subfolder in "/media": mkdir /media/sda1 c. And install "ntfs" package if needed: apt-get install ntfs-3g 2. "fat32/vfat" file system partition (for example /dev/sda5), read and write - add the line: /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 vfat rw,users,auto 0 1 or /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46,utf8,auto 0 1 Create "sda5' subfolder in "/media": mkdir /media/sda5 3. "ext3" or "ext4" (for example /dev/sda6) - add the line: /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 ext4 defaults,users,auto 0 1 Create "sda6" subfolder in "/media: mkdir /media/sda6 4. "swap" partition (for example /dev/sda7) - add the line: /dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0 Any "fstab" file changes will be working after system rebooting. Temporary mounting Partitions can be temporary mounted for a session time. 1. Create "new" subfolder (for example) in "/home" directory and mount a "vfat" (sda5) partition: mkdir /home/your_user_name/new mount /dev/sda5 /home/your_user_name/new -t vfat 2. The mounted partition will be unmounted automatically after system reboot or having command: umount /dev/sda5 Next to System and packages management Back to Main page
