After you have downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.04, what is next thing you should do?

Getting Ubuntu onto your hard disk is only the first step. It is still in the raw and unpolished state. To get the best out of it, you really need to configure and customize it to suit your needs. In part 3 of the series, I am going to go through the important things that you need to do after you have got Jaunty up and running.

1) Enable the repositories

Every time I do a fresh install of Ubuntu, the first thing that I do is to enable the universe, multiverse, backport and Canonical’s ‘partner’ repositories. These repositories open up new application choices and allows you to install popular third party software easily and quickly.

Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager.

Click on Settings -> Repositories.

Checked all the boxes.

Go to the Third-Party Software tab. Check all the boxes too.

Close the window and press the Reload button at the top left corner to update the repositories.

2) Modifying GRUB menu

The GRUB menu is the black screen that you see when you boot up your computer. You can easily modify the setting, including whether it is hidden or how many seconds before it boots up. One of the useful application that allows you to modify your GRUB menu easily is Startup Manager

sudo apt-get install startupmanager

Before you modify your GRUB menu, it is best to  back it up.

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu-backup.lst

Open your Startup Manager, here is where you can change the timeout, how many kernel entries to keep and show/hide the grub screen.

3) Configure Firewall

If you are concern about your security, then it is pertinent that you activate the firewall and prevent any unauthorized access to your computer.

UFW is installed by default, but if you need a graphical interface, install GUFW.

sudo apt-get install gufw

Alternative to GUFW is Firestarter which is a simple but powerful app that allows you to monitor your traffic

sudo apt-get install firestarter

4) Wine

Wine is a must-have application for those who can’t live without their Windows applications, It allows you to install your Windows application in your Ubuntu machine and run them like native Windows apps.

sudo apt-get install wine

Once you have installed Wine, remember to run the configuration (Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine) before attempting to install your favorite Windows app.

5) Ubuntu-Restricted-extras

Can’t listen to MP3? Can’t watch Youtube video? Can’t run Java? Don’t worry, all you need to do is to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and it will install all the necessary files/codecs for you. Some common applications in the package include MP3 codec, Adobe Flash player, Java runtime and Microsoft core fonts.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

6) Ubuntu Tweak

Ubuntu Tweak allows you to tweak your system settings, all in one place. You can install new applications, customize your desktop settings, configure your startup applications, changing the system filetype association and many more tweaks in this single application.

To install Ubuntu Tweak, first open your sources.list files

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

insert the following lines to the end of the file. Save and close.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu jaunty main


deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu jaunty main

In the terminal, update the repository and install Ubuntu Tweak

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

sudo apt-get install vlc

sudo apt-get install gnome-do

It would be great if there is a Linux build of the popular Dreamweaver CS3, or that it could be easily installed via WINE. The truth is, none of the above work. There is no Linux version, nor will it work via WINE direct installation. The only way to get it to work is to port it over from a Windows installation.

If you are new to Dreamweaver CS3, it is one of the best, if not, the best web editor software in the market. While there are many open source and free web editors out there, none of them come close to it in term of quality and capability. Although it comes with a hefty price tag of $399, it is well worth the money if you are into serious web developing. As such, if you wish to follow this guide and install Dreamweaver CS3 in your Ubuntu machine, please make sure you have the licensed copy, or proceed to Adobe to make your purchase. Do not attempt to use illegal software.

Initial Installation – WINE

We will need WINE to create a Windows environment for Dreamweaver. If you have already installed WINE, you can skip to the next section.

sudo apt-get install wine
winecfg

The WINE configuration window will pop up. Click OK to close the window. You can now find a .wine folder in your Home directory (if you can’t see it, go to View and check “Show Hidden Files“).

Porting Dreamweaver CS 3 From Windows

Install your Dreamweaver CS 3 in Windows. (For this step, I would advise you to install it on a Windows virtual machine so that you can transfer files between the two OS easily later on.)

Now there are 5 main folders that you need to copy to your Ubuntu machine.

1) Open up File Manager and navigate to C:Program Files. Copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files folder.

2) Still in the Windows File manager, navigate to C:Documents and Settingsyour-windows-user-nameApplication Data (if you can’t find the Application Data folder, go to Tools->Folder Option->View and select ‘show hidden files and folders‘) and copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data/

3) In the Windows File manager, go to C:Program FilesCommon Files and copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files

4) In the Windows file manager, go to C:WINDOWSsystem32 and copy the whole ‘marcomed‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

5) In the Windows file manager, go to C:WINDOWS and copy the whole ‘WinSxS‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows

Next, we need to import the Dreamweaver registry to WINE.

In  your Windows, go to Start->Run. Type in ‘regedit‘ and press Enter.

In the window that pop up, on the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE->Adobe->Dreamweaver. Right click on the ‘Dreamweaver‘ folder and select ‘Export’. Save the file as dreamweaver.reg

Copy this dreamweaver.reg to your Ubuntu home folder.

Now you need to convert the registry file to ASCII format.

sudo apt-get install recode
recode ucs-2..ascii dreamweaver.reg
wine regedit dreamweaver.reg

At this time, you have successfully ported all the necessary files from Windows to Ubuntu. To test your installation:

cd .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS3/
wine Dreamweaver.exe

Dreamweaver CS3 should now launch.

Creating entry in Applications menu

To create an entry in your Applications menu, right click on the Applications menu and select ‘Edit Menus’.

Scroll down to the Wine->Programs entry and select New Item. Enter the following

Type: Application
Name: Dreamweaver CS3
Command: wine /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS3/Dreamweaver.exe

Click Close. You should now see an entry in your Application menu. You can drag the entry to your desktop or to the panel to create a shortcut.

Adobe AIR is a technology that lets you run Internet applications on the desktop. With AIR you do not need a browser to run such desktop applications. This tutorial explains how you can install Adobe AIR 1.5.1 for Linux on an Ubuntu 9.04 desktop and how you can install AIR applications.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1 Preliminary Note

I'm using the user name falko with the home directory /home/falko here - please adjust this appropriately.

2 Installing Adobe AIR

Open Firefox and go to http://get.adobe.com/air/.

Click on the Download now link...

... and save the file to your hard disk (e.g. on the desktop):

Next, open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)...

... and go to the directory where you've saved the Adobe AIR installer (/home/falko/Desktop in my case):

cd /home/falko/Desktop

You can run

ls -l

to find out how the Adobe AIR installer is named (AdobeAIRInstaller.bin):

falko@falko-desktop:~/Desktop$ ls -l
total 13336
-rw-r--r-- 1 falko falko 13633748 2009-06-29 15:59 AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
falko@falko-desktop:~/Desktop$

Before we can start the installer, we must make it executable:

chmod 755 AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Then we start the Adobe AIR installation:

./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

The Adobe AIR installation wizard starts. Accept the Adobe AIR license:

Next type in your password:

Adobe AIR is now being installed:

Click on Finish to leave the installation wizard:

Adobe AIR is now installed, so we can clean up the desktop by deleting the installer:

rm -f AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

3 Installing An AIR Application

Before you install an AIR application, you should make sure that you have Adobe Flash installed as lots of AIR applications (not all) require Flash.

If Flash is not installed, you can install it like this:

sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer

You can find a few sample AIR applications on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/ajax/samples.html, http://www.adobe.com/products/air/showcase/, and http://www.adobe.com/go/airmarketplace.

I will now install Spaz, an open-source Twitter client. Go to http://funkatron.com/spaz and go to Desktop > Download. Click on the Install Now link below Automated "One-step" Install:

The AIR application installer is starting up:

Click on Open...

... and then on Install to start the Spaz installation:

If necessary you can change a few settings. Click on Continue:

Spaz is now being installed. After the installation has finished, the AIR application installer will close automatically:

Spaz should now start automatically, but there should as well be a Spaz launcher under Applications > Spaz:

When Spaz starts for the first time, it doesn't know your Twitter username, therefore it shows the following message. Click on Enter user/pass to go to the Spaz preferences:

Fill in your Twitter username and password:

Afterwards you can start using Twitter, e.g. send a new message to Twitter:

BTW, if you'd like to follow me on Twitter, I'd be more than happy . This is my Twitter profile: http://twitter.com/falko

4 Uninstalling An AIR Application

If you want to uninstall an AIR application, open a terminal again (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

In this example I will show how to uninstall Spaz.

To find out the correct name of the Spaz package, run

dpkg --list | grep -i spaz

The output should look as follows...

falko@falko-desktop:~/Desktop$ dpkg --list | grep -i spaz
ii  spaz.air.16cb261d461b1ca2027f7c39946115fa2dc8cd7f.1 0.8.2                             A Twitter client
falko@falko-desktop:~/Desktop$

... which means the full name of the Spaz package is spaz.air.16cb261d461b1ca2027f7c39946115fa2dc8cd7f.1. To uninstall it, we run

sudo dpkg -r 'spaz.air.16cb261d461b1ca2027f7c39946115fa2dc8cd7f.1'

That's it, Spaz has been removed from your system.

Firefox 3.5 (formerly known as 3.1) adds support for new web standards including audio and video tags and downloadable fonts, a private browsing mode, significantly improved JavaScript performance, and more.

Ubuntu will not be upgrading the default Firefox package to 3.5 until Ubuntu 9.10. However, the universe repository in Ubuntu 9.04 includes a special firefox-3.5 package. At the time of writing this package contains an old beta release. It should be updated soon, but here’s a workaround if you can’t wait any longer.

Update: I’m now recommending installing Firefox 3.5 using Ubuntuzilla rather than the methods described in this post.

Before you update, consider backing up your Firefox profile if you may want to go back to Firefox 3 after trying 3.5. Running the command below will backup your Firefox profile to firefox_profile_backup in your home directory. To restore from the backup, replace your .mozilla/firefox folder with the backup.
cp -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/ ~/firefox_profile_backup

Update: The firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu 9.04 has now been updated, so it’s no longer necessary to use the Mozilla Security Team PPA.

Open the Synaptic package manager and select Settings->Repositories. Select the Third-Party Software tab and add the APT line for the Mozilla Security Team PPA, which has Firefox packages which are undergoing testing prior to wider release:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Return to the main Synaptic window and click the Reload button to download the repository listings. Find the firefox-3.5 package and mark it for installation. Click Apply to install.

After Synaptic is done working, you can remove or disable the Mozilla Security Team PPA if you don’t want to get any more untested updates.

Unfortunately, this package is still branded as Shiretoko (the codename for this Firefox release). Start Firefox 3.5 from Applications->Internet->Shiretoko Web Browser.

I removed every packages and was about to give up when I finally found the answer that made things work out of the box at
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/acr38

Packages to install :

sudo apt-get install libacr38u libacr38ucontrol0 beid-tools pcscd libpcsclite-dev beidgui libbeid2 libbeidlibopensc2

After installing these, I was able to read my card under beid.

Firefox :

In order to access websites working with the eID, you need to load the PKCS#11 module.

Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Encryption > Security Devices > Load

Module name : “Belgium Identity Card PKCS#11″
Module filename : “/usr/lib/libbeidpkcs11.so.2″

Restart Firefox when done.

The card reader MUST be plugged before starting Firefox if you intend to access a website requiring access to your eID.

0. Make sure you have "multiverse" repository enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list by clicking on System -> Administration -> Software Sources. The checkbox "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)" has to be enabled.

1. Download the latest LimeWire from http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireLinux.deb or if you prefer the beta is here: http://www9.limewire.com/beta/LimeWireLinux.deb

2. If you are using Gnome or KDE you should be able to double-click on the file. If not, you may have to manually install with dpkg.

There should be an entry in the programs menu if you are using KDE or Gnome. You will also be able to start limewire by typing "limewire" in the terminal.

Enjoy!

Voor Ubuntu 8.04 en 8.10 bleef de installatie van ING HomeBank gelijk. De nieuwste Ubuntu telg 9.04 vraagt één extra commando.

Om te beginnen, volg de volledige handleiding voor 8.04 en 8.10 64-bit.

Like promised a blog post about how to instal ING HomeBank on a Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit system. En nu verder in het Nederlands om te voorkomen dat de Engelstaligen het volgende uur niet meer zouden bijkomen van het lachen en deze blog onder het mapje “grappig” van hun favorieten klasseren. Voor de installatie van de 32-bit versie op Ubuntu 8.04 kan je nog steeds hier terecht.

Deze methode is hetzelfde voor Ubuntu versie 8.10.

1. Nog steeds is het installatie bestand (een *.deb) te downloaden op deze pagina van ING.Be. Sla het bestand op in je persoonlijke map (home folder).

2. Open een terminal venster en voer volgend commando uit (op moment van schrijven is de versie 3.33):
sudo dpkg -i HomeBank333.deb

3. Ga nu naar /opt/HomeBank:
cd /opt/HomeBank

4. Als je te vlug op de zaken voorloopt en je start HomeBank krijg je deze fout: “error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory“. HomeBank heeft libtiff.so.3 nodig, maar Ubuntu bezit enkel libtiff.so.4. We verhelpen dit probleempje door een symbolische link van versie 3 naar versie 4 aan te leggen.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.3

5. Een volgende fout die je zou krijgen is “Error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory“. Om dit te voorkomen dienen we nog een symbolische link te leggen (met dank aan Peter!):
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libexpat.so.1 /usr/lib32/libexpat.so.0

6. Als je HomeBank nu zou starten krijg je helaas nog één foutmelding: “error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory“. Dit komt door het ontbreken van “libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2″. Ubuntu zelf levert dit helaas niet meer mee. We gaan het pakket handmatig downloaden en installeren. (Met dank aan Peter voor de tip!)
cd
wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb

7. Als alles goed is zou het nu moeten werken. Start de module met:
cd /opt/HomeBank
./HBSecurity

Tip 1
Ik voeg aan het menu “Toepassingen – Internet” steeds ook een snelkoppeling toe naar de veiligheidsmodule. Dit is niet noodzakelijk, maar eens zo handig:
- klik rechts op het menu (Toepassingen),
- klik op “Menu’s bewerken”,
- ga naar “Internet” en klik op “Nieuw item”,
– Type: Applicatie
– Naam: HomeBank
– Commando: /opt/HomeBank/HBSecurity
– Als je wil kan je nog een icoontje meegeven door op het plaatje met de veer te klikken
- klaar!

Tip 2
Wil je niet naar het bankkantoor lopen achter nieuwe opstartcodes als je een nieuwe Ubuntu versie geïnstalleerd hebt kan je de bestanden “**********.bbl en .hbrc” van je oude installatie kopiëren en plakken in je nieuw systeem. Beide bestanden zijn te vinden in je persoonlijke map. Let op: om .hbrc te zien moet je eerst “Verborgen bestanden tonen” aanvinken in het menu “Beeld”.

Helaas krijg je de fout “HBSecGUI: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory“.
Om dit op te lossen installeren we het pakket “ia32-libs”:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Vervolgens zou ING HomeBank probleemloos moeten opstarten!

Aandacht!

In de repo’s van Ubuntu zit standaard reeds een pakket met de naam “HomeBank”. Dit is echter niét de HomeBank van ING en zal dus niet werken!
Om te voorkomen dat Ubuntu dit pakket zal upgraden, dien je dit te “locken” via Synaptic package manager:

Zoek naar “HomeBank”. Selecteer het pakket en in het menu “Package” vink je “Lock Version” aan. Dit zal voorkomen dat ING HomeBank overschreven wordt.
