To celebrate Copy's launch, earn 5 GB of extra free storage for yourself and whoever you refer each time you introduce someone new to Copy. This is a limited time opportunity to rack up huge amounts of extra free storage while we build the initial buzz around Copy!

Error Dependency Is Not Satisfiable : Libc6 Google-Music-Manager

I downloaded Google-music-manager from here : https://play.google.com/music/listen#/manager.

Installing with gdebi showed the following :

Error : Dependency is not satisfiable : libc6 ( >=2.15 ).......

After some Googling I found an older version from this link ( google music )

Installed without trouble...

To have it work properly (  the "Upload" menu item missing and the "Options" item not doing anything ) I had to delete the ~/.config/google-musicmanager directory and start the manager again ( link ).

Additional link for download ( version 1.0.60.7918-r0 ) : here. ( google-musicmanager-beta_current_amd64.deb ).

Disable The Universal Access Accessibility Menu In Gnome 3

Edit as root the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js

Look for the following line, (line 37 in my case):

'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator,

Comment it out, so it will look like this :

// 'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator,

Restart gnome-shell :

Press ALT + F2 and type in r and hit Enter to restart the gnome-shell.

Done....

Enable Autologin Gdm3

As root edit the file /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf  :

nano /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf

Look for the lines :

#  AutomaticLoginEnable = true

#  AutomaticLogin = user1

Remove the # signs before each line and replace user1 with your own username.

So in my case ( username = eric ) these lines will look like :

AutomaticLoginEnable = true

AutomaticLogin = eric

To see it working switch to tty1 :

CTRL + ALT + F1

Login as root and then :

/etc/init.d/gdm3 restart

Install Pepperflash In Chromium

Go to the Google Chrome Webpage and download the web browser for your processor architecture.
Unpack the deb package ( I used file-roller ) and go to the directory /opt/google/chrome/ .

Select Pepperflash and Extract.

Inside the directory Pepperflash there is a file libpepflashplayer.so .

As root :
mv libpepflashplayer.so /usr/lib/chromium/plugins

As root edit the file default in /etc/chromium and add this line :

CHROMIUM_FLAGS=" --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/chromium/plugins/libpepflashplayer.so"

The whole file will look like this :

# Default settings for chromium. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from
# /usr/bin/chromium

# Options to pass to chromium
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--password-store=detect"
CHROMIUM_FLAGS=" --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/chromium/plugins/libpepflashplayer.so"

Restart chromium.

Check the setting at chrome:plugins in the address bar ( check +Details ) :

A Minimal Gnome 3 Installation

Download from Debian.org a Small CD ( here ). No businesscard CD image any longer...

I chose to put the image ( debian-7.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso ) on an USB stick ( see a former post and here ).

This time I decided to go the Graphical install way....

Just follow the instructions....it's easy enough.

In the next screen I deselected everything....

Install the Grub boot loader to the master boot record.....

After finishing the installation reboot and....just press Enter....

Next screen login as root....

A few adjustments to the sources.list....

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add contrib and non-free at the end of all lines....Ctrl+o ( WriteOut ), File Name to Write : sources.list, hit Enter, Ctrl+x ( Exit ).

Then :

nano /etc/apt/apt.conf

Write this line : 

APT::Install-Recommends "false";

Save and exit. First update....

apt-get update 

Install a minimal xserver. My videocard is a Nvidia GeForce GT 330

apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-video-nvidia 

I kept an eye on the recommended packages.....

apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Package nvidia-glx will pull in package nvidia-kernel-dkms. Next :

apt-get install gdm3 gnome-session xorg nautilus gnome-terminal gnome-shell-extensions gnome-control-center gnome-tweak-tool alsa-utils pulseaudio gnome-themes 

Next is optional :

apt-get install chromium gthumb gdebi gksu leafpad glipper file-roller nautilus-open-terminal synaptic 

Create a configuration file for the Nvidia card :

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and add these lines :

Section "Device"
        Identifier "My GPU"
        Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

Now reboot and login !

Some more tweaks :

Add this .fonts.conf file in your home directory.

Create a directory .icons in your home directory and add these icons.

Find more icons here and here....

Create a directory .fonts in your home directory and add these fonts.

Make adjustments in Advanced Settings.
