View source for PC configurations

Note that this page is not directly related to any MCU project. Since I'm installing quite a number of different linux configurations on systems, this page contains some notes on how they've been configured.

==Eclipse==
[http://hanynowsky.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/eclipse-ides-ubuntu-integrated-menus-hack/ This page] describes how to hack a shared library to allow Unity menu integration of eclipse. The gist of it:
 cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies && sudo sed -i 's/Eclipse/Xclipse/' libappmenu.so

To change the appearance of tool tips in unity to be legible within eclipse, follow [http://askubuntu.com/questions/70599/how-to-change-tooltip-background-color-in-unity these instructions]. Gist:
 sudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
and use #000000 for tooltip_fg_color and  #f5f5b5 for tooltip_fg_color.

==Media PC==
* Ubuntu 10.04
* mythtv from synaptic
* mythweb
* phpmyadmin
* unsuccessful move to new Nvidia graphics card (FIXME)
* tv_grab_nl_py script
* trying to slow down GPU fan through lm-sensors, needs kernel option to run it87 driver (as descriped [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/418246 here])

==Laptop==
===Wacom Touch===
See this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1747226

Add the following to /etc/init.d/local
 xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet touch" touch on
 xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet touch" Gesture on

if needed add the local script to the init sequence with 
 sudo update-rc.d local defaults

==Desktop==
adapt /etc/nsswitch.conf if browsers start to become slow in dns lookup.
