Chromium Extensions

Chromium Extensions

installed chromium extensions

How a proper fstab looks like

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=6e8f8c45-ff42-4171-98bd-7961c34ce5a3 / jfs noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

Looks like this when mounted:

After Debian Wheezy Installation (Desktop)

I recommend to do the following:

  • add your user to the sudo group with adduser username sudo – be sure to log your user out and in again, otherwise the changes do not take effect. From now on you can use sudo instead of logging in with user root each time.
  • add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list to a) get firefox browser from the linux mint repository b) get the non-free repository, where firmware and other “bad”(actually necessary) things may be found

# fuer firefox

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com debian import

# non-free

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

  • install some useful things with apt-get update && apt-get install htop powertop smartmontools zsh vim mplayer moc vlc xine-ui firefox chromium-browser 
  • if you want the original Adobe Flash player sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
  • of course (*sigh*) you have to install something extra if you want to mount an ordinary SMB-Share 😦   apt-get install cifs-utils (usage:sudo mount -t cifs //serveraddress/sharename /your/desination_path -o user=username)
  • it is also possible to use sshfs to access files on other linux machines on your network: install with apt-get install sshfs and add your user to fuse group: /usr/sbin/adduser username fuse
    or you can do it like this (german)
  • if you want to change your default shell to zsh use command chsh (without parameters) for this – you will be prompted for the root password and the path to the shell you wish to use – in my case /usr/bin/zsh after this is done close your terminal and reopen it – zsh should then be started automactically
  • for my laptop (Samsung Chronos 700Z3C) it was also necessary to install additional firmware for my wifi-card with apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
  • now you can tune your Gnome 3 Desktop – go to https://extensions.gnome.org/ to customize it. I use: Alternate Tab, Axe Menu, Battery remaining time and percentage, Coverflow Alt-Tab, Frippery Shut Down Menu, Places Status Indicator, Recent Items, Status Area Horizontal Spacing. (I killed the Bluetooth icon through a config file)
