LMDE
Intro
Notes while replacing my Debian by LMDE.
This included recovery of some settings so those are not notes for an install from scratch.
LMDE 201403
Installation
See http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php
Linux Mint has a nice graphical tool for manual repartitioning but not yet LMDE...
Install LMDE with manual partitioning
- it tells us we should mount target partition ourselves under /target
- crypsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 sda1_crypt # has to be the same ref as in the crypttab later
- mount /dev/sda1_crypt /target
- continue installation
- inject proper config in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab
First I mount /home in /home.old (mkdir /home.old) so I can access both fresh user homedir and old one, then move content of /home into /home.old and change fstab to mount on /home next time
Add Debian repos
LMDE is based on Debian testing but with some delay and I had quickly the issue that my chromium profile was saved by a chroimum version newer than the one in LMDE repos.
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list :
deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
We need some pinning to avoid jessie taking over the LMDE repositories. The problem is that they have both the exact same keywords:
$ apt-cache policy [...] 500 http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest// testing/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=testing,n=jessie,l=Debian,c=main 500 http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages release o=Debian,a=testing,n=jessie,l=Debian,c=main
So we can only differentiate by origin:
/etc/apt/preferences.d/debian-package-repositories.pref:
+Package: * Pin: origin ftp.be.debian.org Pin-Priority: 400
And to use Jessie repo e.g.:
apt-get install chromium/jessie
Tuning
To be able to use encfs & sshfs:
adduser <user> fuse
Cinnamon tuning:
- pin progs to panel: drag & drop from menu
- change user picture: Settings / Account details
- Hide Icons on the Desktop: Settings / Desktop
- Add a Program Shortcut to the Mint Menu: Right-click the Mint Menu, select "Configure" then "Open the menu editor", Click a software category / "New Item".
