Revision as of 16:13, 9 April 2010
The following is a compilation of modifications I applied to my personal installation of Easy Debian (a digest of my contributions to the thread Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing) and which I suggest for inclusion in the next versions of debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2 and the easy-deb-chroot package.

Proposed changes to image debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2
Better internationalizability
- change /usr/bin/xephwm5 such that:
export TWOWIN=`wmctrl -l | grep -i Info | awk '{print $1}'`
This covers languages bs, ca, cs, da, de, en_CA, en_GB, es, eu, fr, gl, hr, hu, id, it, lt, lv, nb, nl, nn, pl, pt, pt_BR, ro, sk, sq, sr@Latn, sv
- don't enable sticky keys hack by default
therefore in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart comment out:
#xkbset exp 60 =sticky =twokey =latchlock #xkbset sticky -twokey latchlock
Preparation for "su -" in future /usr/bin/debbie
- Add
#Messy hack to make tap-and-hold work with GTK apps. export GTK_MODULES=libgtkstylus.so #Some OpenOffice environment variables export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk" export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome" export SAL_NOOPENGL="true" export OOO_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" export SAL_DISABLE_SYNCHRONOUS_PRINTER_DETECTION="true" #export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS="true"
to /etc/profile
- Instead of "PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '" I also suggest to put I
PS1='deb:\w\$ '
into /etc/profile. Remove any $PS1 setting from /root/.bashrc.
packages
- evince
- not in LXDE menu - needs "NoDisplay=false" in /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop followed by
xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop
- make evince also display postscript files
- I noticed that installing "gv" pulled in the required packages to display postscript files also with evince
- extra packages
- are of course not needed, since everyone can install them themselves. The following packages are however small enough to consider having them added:
- less, openssh-client, rsync
Proposed changes to easy-deb-chroot 0.9.46-1fremantle1
- "su -"
/usr/bin/debbie: add hyphen in two lines:
sudo /sbin/debian su - ...
Some applications do not work properly without that (zim), others fail in LXDE (gramps), and internationalization works better in debbie and /sbin/debian that way.
It would however be necessary to communicate this change to users of images up to v3b, so that they insert the necessary environment variables in /etc/profile.
also in debchroot.desktop:
Exec=osso-xterm "sudo debian su -"
