Configuring a fresh Ubuntu for Group-Office development

Unfortunately my Asus Zenbook Prime's SSD drive failed so I had to install a fresh system for Group-Office development (twice...). I thought it would be useful to post my steps right after a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 installation:

1. Install java for netbeans

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
   

2. Install Netbeans from site.

    $ sh ~/Downloads/netbeans-8.0-linux.sh
   

3. Install Group-Office

    $ sudo echo -e "\n## Group-Office repository\ndeb \
   http://repos.groupoffice.eu/ fivezero main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
   
   
    $ gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371 --recv-keys 01F1AE44
    $ gpg --export --armor 01F1AE44 | sudo apt-key add -
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install groupoffice-com
   

4. Install subversion

    $ sudo apt-get install subversion
   

5. Own the /var/www directory

    $ sudo chown -R mschering:mschering /var/www
   

6. Checkout groupoffice repository

    $ svn co svn+ssh://mscheering@svn.code.sf.net/p/group-office/code/branches/groupoffice-6.0
   

7. Launch Netbeans and open the Group-Office project and start coding.
8. Install Firebug add-on in Firefox
9. Install Dark look and feel plugin for Netbeans. I prefer a dark screen when staring at it for 8 hours a day ;)
10. Install phpmyadmin
    

    $ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
    

    DANGER Set auto root login in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.php
    

        $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']    = 'config';
        $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']         = 'root';  
        $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']         = '';
    

    Enable:
    

        $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE;
    

11. Disable local sending in SSH to get rid of warnings that locale is not found on remote server. Cange /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
    

    #    SendEnv LANG LC_*
    

12. Install shutter for taking screenshots
    

    $ sudo apt-get install shutter
    

Some extra stuff for fun

1. Install Variety for automatic wallpapers
   

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:peterlevi/ppa
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install variety
   

2. Install Weather indicator
   

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator
   

3. Mount WebDAV
   

    $ sudo apt-get install davfs2
   

   To enable webdav for non root users:
   

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2
   
    $ sudo vi /etc/fstab
   

   Add the line:
   

    https://intermesh.group-office.com/webdav/ /home/mschering/Group-Office davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0
   

   Add your user to the davfs2 group
   

    $ sudo adduser mschering davfs2
   

   Refresh your group membership without logging out:
   

    $ exec su -l mschering
   

   Create secrets file because it fails without:
   

    $ touch .davfs2/secrets
    $ chmod 600 .davfs2/secrets
   

   Create local dir:
   

    $ mkdir ~/Group-Office
    $ mount ~/Group-Office
   

4. Install Skype I downloaded and installed Skype from their website which works fine except for the indicator icon. I had to install this package:
   

    $ sudo apt-get install sni-qt:i386
