User:Bourke/Linux Desktop Setup

Setup on Both Machines

Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Lucid x86_64 --Bourke 17:29, 7 July 2011 (CEST)

Sun-Java6 Setup

(Most MPDL Solutions don't work with ubuntu standard OpenJDK)

 sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”
 sudo apt-get update 
 sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk

And remove OpenJdk in case of clashes

  sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin openjdk-6-jre-headless icedtea-6-jre-cacao

OpenSSHServer Setup

 sudo apt-get install openssh-server

rsync Command for Syncing Desktop (b254)/ Laptop (b227)

 rsync --verbose  --progress --stats --recursive --times --perms --links --delete \ --exclude "*~"   /home/bourke/ b227:/home/bourke/

where remotehost is the out-of-date computer. Get this wrong, and the files may be lost (the --delete parameter).
