Customization of /etc/group

I added "gniibe" to adm, mail, dialout, and sudo group.

Customization of /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

As I reported in the bug report of 922603, I put:

[greeter]
indicators=~host;~spacer;~clock;~spacer;~session;~language;~a11y;~power

Customization for keyboard

For me, Jumper EZbook 3 Pro has four problems for keyboard.

• Caps Lock and Ctrl are wrong place, need to be swapped.
• backslash/bar is better to be placed at Del position.
• Enter generates KP_Enter.
• Console only: Ctrl + slash generates Delete (should generate control-underscore).

To fix those problems, I prepared two files for X:

• /etc/X11/xmodmap
• /etc/X11/Xsession.d/39x11-xmodmap

and modified a file for console:

• /etc/console-setup/remap.inc

and a file for both of X and console:

• /etc/default/keyboard

I changed XKBOPTIONS in /etc/default/keyboard. It is:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:swapcaps"
BACKSPACE="guess"

While this basic configuration is shared by X and console, for console, I added following lines in /etc/console-setup/remap.inc:

###################
keycode 111 = backslash        bar
    control keycode  111 = Control_backslash
    alt     keycode  111 = Meta_backslash
keycode  53 = slash            question
    control keycode  53 = Control_underscore
    alt     keycode  53 = Meta_slash
keycode  96 = Return
keycode  43 = Remove

For X Window System, I created /etc/X11/Xsession.d/39x11-xmodmap with:

xmodmap /etc/X11/xmodmap

And the content in /etc/X11/xmodmap is:

! Keyboard modmap for Jumper EZbook 3 Pro
keycode 51 = Delete
keycode 104 = Return
keycode 119 = backslash bar

Customization for Touchpad

I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf with this content:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Touchpad"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "TapButton1"            "1"
        Option      "TapButton2"            "3"
        Option      "TapButton3"            "2"
        Option      "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "1"
        Option  "HorizTwoFingerScroll"  "1"
    Option  "AreaRightEdge"         "1300"
    Option  "PalmDetect"            "true"
    Option  "PalmMinWidth"          "10"
    Option  "PalmMinZ"              "80"
EndSection

This is the touchpad is too big for me and I can't stop touching the right edge of it while typing keyboard.

Customization for ssh-agent

Since I use gpg-agent to work for ssh-agent service, I disable ssh-agent. I removed the line:

use-ssh-agent

in /etc/X11/Xsession.options.

And I created a configuration file ~/.gnupg/ggp-agent.conf with a single line of:

enable-ssh-support

Important packages

Using console, I added following packages for my system administration:

• etckeeper

For my desktop, I installed a package for touchpad:

• xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

For bluetooth, I installed a package for firmware:

• firmware-linux-free

Non-free

I installed non-free packages:

• firmware-iwlwifi (for WiFi)
• firmware-misc-nonfree (for i915/bxt_dmc_ver1).

Configuration of XFCE4

For XFCE4, it's as same as Stretch.

Invoking xfce4-settings-manager ("Settings") from its "Application" menu, I configured:

• Desktop
  • Background: Change background image of Desktop
  • Menus: Modify "Window List Menu" to disable "Show window list menu on desktop middle click"
  • Icons: Icon type = "None" not showing icons on Desktop
• Window Manager
  • Style: Change "Theme" to "Daloa" for minimum height of title
  • Focus: Change "Focus model" to "Focus follows mouse"

Invoking xfce4-settings-editor "Settings Editor" from xfce4-settings-manager, I configured:

• xfwm4

  • /general/tile_on_move: False

    This is important for me not to change Windows size during its move

• xfce4-session

  I needed to create new entries with False values. See https://bugs.debian.org/791378

  • /startup/ssh-agent/enabled: False
  • /startup/gpg-agent/enabled: False

• mouse and touchpad

  Enable tap action.

Customization of Panels

I place "Panel1" at the top-left of screen with "Application Menu", four launchers (Emacs, Browser, Terminal), Place, Desktop Button, and Window Button.

I place "Panel2" at the top-right of screen with two clocks (Japan and Germany timezone), Notification Area, Workspace switch, PulseAudio Plugin, CPU monitor, Battery Monitor and Action Button.

Panel 1 is like this:

And Panel 2 is like this:
