So, I’ve just returned from a brief visit to NL, and come back to find my new work-pc humming along nicely. All new. Brand new. Brand new… and completely untweaked! AAAAARGH!
Thankfully, I’ve documented most of the tweaks in this blog (so even if no one reads this, it helps me :). The most annoying remaining part is missing software — easily installed, but still:
- Thunderbird
- SVN
- LaTeX
- Some firefox plugins (youtube worked, but flash wasn’t happy or something)
- possibly: ghostview (though perhaps i’ll go evince), others (to be found)
Speaking of SVN: there was a problem (hooray! a new tweak to document here!). SVN apparently is integrated with the GNOME Keyring daemon. Possibly convenient, except that GNOME doesn’t know my passwords. So I got a “password for ‘null’ (Gnome keyring):” prompt… and a refusal to work.
Crap.
Found the solution here. Basically: edit your Subversion config file ($HOME/.subversion/config) and set password-store to empty (“password-store =“).
Now to refind the tweak for getting rid of the bottom dragging corner — yuk!
editFound my old post, which only contained a link. To preserve this info more safely:
- create or edit $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
- add the following:
style "default-style"
{
GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0
GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0
}class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"
- restart Gnome
