## a few odds and ends - ignore

Sat Oct 22, 2011 1:21 am

hope nobody minds me posting some xfce/wheezy odds and ends
disable ipv6
echo net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf
enable shutdown and restart buttons using visudo
username hostname = NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/xfce4/session/xfsm-shutdown-helper
custom menu file goes in /etc/xdg/menus and looks like

Code:
  `<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
  "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
  <Menu>
  <Name>Xfce</Name>
  <DefaultAppDirs/>
  <DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
  <DefaultMergeDirs/>
  <Layout>
  <Filename>geany.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>asunder.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>iceweasel.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>xfce-settings-manager.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>xfce4-session-logout.desktop</Filename>
  </Layout>
  <Include>
  <Filename>geany.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>asunder.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>iceweasel.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>xfce4-session-logout.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>xfce-settings-manager.desktop</Filename>
  </Include>
  </Menu>
  `

Wouldn't this be more of a tip or such which kinda belongs in "how-to" ?
I fail to understand why offtopic.
Not that it would matter what is where, as long it is there
(this was the long version of: yes, only nobody minds).
I can't say i am good with xfce. What i do i do from the gui/settings-manager.
A few tips would be good, as far it is me (i know the forum and the wiki, but both are not much of my thing)

I thought it might be a 'tip' but then realized that this is the refracta forum.
As such I don't think tips for wheezy are applicable since refracta does not have a wheezy version. I haven't tried this on squeeze.
I also felt like they aren't really applicable to refracta since the buttons aren't disabled in the first place and who in their right mind would want a manual menu. The menu file should also be indented and nested and all that cool stuff that I cannot stand.
So it was more of a place to stick some notes until I got around to getting my files together and finding a good place to put them in my personal space.

Ah, i see, did not get it at first glance.
I tried a lot of ways to store all kind of configs: github, ~/Backup/configs, minus/dropbox, wordpress, usb-sticks, but to be honest: having them in a forum seems always like the most easy way to me. Sooner or later i stop keeping things up to date properly, and it gets a mess.
I guess here, nonsense section, is a good tip... like in google-able.
I am a bit more confused than usual, if in doubt: ignore.

I just keep all my stuff on sda1. Usually I just list all my tweaks in one big file unless it is something really large and then it gets its own file. I have tried various ways as well but always end up going back to sda1.
I borrowed the forum because my files are in limbo right now until I get them copied back to my laptop.
