Goal
These are some notes of my install of Linux Mint ( after dissatisfaction with Ubuntu ) on a small fan-less PC. I want this box to run a variety of background utility tasks. Some of these are file services, media services and various iot functions.
I did not want a headless install, in fact I want it to be fairly similar to my windows desktop, and I wanted to be able to use Python on it much like I do on my windows machine and my various raspberry pi machines.
While I wanted a "head" on the machine I mainly wanted the "head" to run via VNC on a remote box. So if you want to do something similar this is what I did.
In what follows I have tried to add sudo to commands that need it, and commands are prefixed by >>. << or # May be used to indicate end of the command and the beginning of comment. Menu navigation is often indicated by ->
Install
Know Your Machine
- boot menu f11
- boot configure f12
- Mint version xxxx it is a version of debion
- Mint desktop cinomint
- Mint text editor: xed
- Name of computer on network: Bulldog mint russ
- Configure options
- package manager
- admin -> menu
- synapatic package manager
- software manager
- terminal: apt, or apt-get, or pip, or conda
Install
- download is and make usb stick with on win with etcher
- boot use boot manager to boot from usb then install select option to install, the wizard should get you through it
- bring the system up to data menu >> admin >> update manager
Remote Access
Real Simple
Note you can exchange text with the new machine via the internet ( a wiki is useful ) or a flash dirive. This allow exact copying of terminal commands.
VNC Remote Desktop
>> sudo apt install vino
>> gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false
>> gsettings set org.gnome.Vino prompt-enabled false
Once that’s done we can start the server using the command:
>> /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
SSH
Enable ssh on mint:
- install >> sudo apt update
- install >> sudo apt install -y openssh-server
The SSH service will start automatically upon the completion of package installation. You can verify the SSH server package installation by running the following command.
- check the status >> sudo systemctl status ssh
- Configure:
- By default, root login over SSH is not allowed on Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian. But, you can enable root login by editing the SSH configuration file. Edit the sshd_config file.
- >> sudo xed /etc/ssh/sshd_config # Set the PermitRootLogin to Yes
