Posted under » Ubuntu on 20 March 2017

This are the things I do when I install Ubuntu. Some not in order

• Install SSH - apt-get install openssh-server
• Install LAMP

• Configure LAMP
• Enable workspaces. This is found under Settings > Appearance > Behavior
• Install ntpdate. > apt install ntpdate

• Configure VNC. Unlike Raspberry Pi, by default, there is a VNC server (Vino) already running. It is under "Desktop Sharing". If you try to install tightvnc, you may end up unable to login. You can check the listening port by

  netstat -plant

  $ gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

  If you try to connect and you still get the same error, then kill(stop the process) and restart it.

  $ pkill vino
  $ export DISPLAY=:0.0
  $ /usr/lib/vino/vino-server &
  

• Install SSHFS
• VIM
• Install libimage-exiftool-perl
