Super-Site

Here's a page started by Bob. Not sure how often I'll be adding stuff but it's been on my to-do list. Thought I'd start with packages added to the toughbook.

Toughbook Setup

Toughbook is a CF-19 (small one with the touchscreen)

1. Install Ubuntu 10.10
2. Install Xinput Calibrator as per suggestions here
3. Install Numpy
4. Install Git
5. Install DHCP server for local network access on eth0 (wlan0, intel chipset installed on toughbook wasn't designed to serve as a wireless access point)
6. Install DNS Masq for supplying dns to local network (eth0 only) dnsmasq website
7. Manually configure IPTables for internet connection sharing
8. Install Loggernet for Linux
   1. Handy: this page on rpm to dem
   2. Handy: Ken's Notes
   3. Handy: Redhat vs. Debian naming convention
   4. Gist is to change the daemon command in csilgrnet, csildmp, csildep to something like this: start-stop-daemon --start --user loggernet --exec /opt/CampbellSci/LoggerNet/csilgrnet -- --run-as-daemon=true
9. clone git repositories for datapro tools

cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "bob"
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[paste key on github]
cd ~/working_files/bin/py_datapro/
git clone git@github.com:frankohanlon/DataPro.git

1. sftp datapro configs
2. Buy a bluetooth keyboard/mouse
3. set up sshd
4. set up keys w/ toughbook & iarc.server

1. Yet to be done:
   1. Install drivers (if needed for High power WiFi adapter)
   2. Dig out an old CRT monitor
   3. make insulated enclosure for laptop
   4. search/replace to get datapro scripts running on the new computer
   5. set up scp & data processing on the cron
   6. add sites to loggernet
   7. configure MD485s & NL100 for pakbus network
