My Ubuntu Eee 1011PX setup

sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell

mkdir -p ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE

Create/add to file ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:

@setxkbmap -option grp:switch us,dk

This means the us keyboard layout is active by default. And the danish layout is active while holding down the right alt button.

obconf

Set desktops amount to 6.

Add to ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml inside <openbox_config><keyboard>:

openbox --reconfigure

Remove everything from work spaces management from file ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml.

Add to ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml inside <openbox_config><keyboard>:

<keybind key="W-t">

openbox --reconfigure

%a %e %b %H:%M

Add to /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh:

# just sleep
/etc/acpi/sleep.sh
exit 0

Add to ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/jupiter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jupiter jupiter-support-eee

I have my CPU scaling permanently set to Power Saver to decrease the fan noise.

Edit appropriate line in file /etc/defaults/grub to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux"

sudo update-grub2

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol

sudo sensors-detect

Accept writing to /etc/modules in order to add CPU-cores temperature measurements.

sudo reboot

sudo pwmconfig

It caused errors when I used the CPU-core temperatures. Using the temperature hwmon0 works.

My /etc/fancontrol:

# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=10
DEVPATH=hwmon0= hwmon2=devices/platform/eeepc
DEVNAME=hwmon0=acpitz hwmon2=eeepc
FCTEMPS=hwmon2/pwm1=hwmon0/temp1_input
FCFANS= hwmon2/pwm1=
MINTEMP=hwmon2/pwm1=60
MAXTEMP=hwmon2/pwm1=80
MINSTART=hwmon2/pwm1=150
MINSTOP=hwmon2/pwm1=0

The Eee 1011PX runs quite hot (compared to Eee 901), meaning the fan must always be turning. If I had known this, I would have just bought a new Eee 901.

This setup and fancontrol did not work on my Ubuntu 14.04 setup. This is because the modules eeepc_laptop and coretemp are loaded loaded in a different order when rebooting. Loading modules in a different order changes the hwmon0 and hwmon2 devices in /etc/fancontrol.

I fixed this by manually adding these 2 modules by adding a new file /etc/modules-load.d/sensors.conf containing:

eeepc_laptop
coretemp

sudo apt-get install offlineimap dovecot-imapd

Add to /ets/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

sudo service dovecot stop
sudo service dovecot start

New file ~/.offlineimaprc:

[general]
accounts = Gmail
maxsyncaccounts = 1

[Account Gmail]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = IMAP
remotehost = localhost
port = 143
remoteuser = your_local_username
remotepass = your_local_password

[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = your_username@gmail.com
remotepass = your_gmail_password
ssl = yes
maxconnections = 1
realdelete = no

offlineimap

Download offlineimap.el into ~/.emacs.d.

Add to ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
(require 'offlineimap)

(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "local"
                                  (nnimap-address "localhost")))
(setq gnus-ignored-newsgroups "")
(setq gnus-permanently-visible-groups ".*")

(add-hook 'gnus-exit-gnus-hook 'offlineimap)

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "C-c m u")
  (lambda () (interactive) (gnus-summary-move-article nil "INBOX.uni")))
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "C-c m p")
  (lambda () (interactive) (gnus-summary-move-article nil "INBOX.personal")))
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "C-c m DEL")
  (lambda () (interactive) (gnus-summary-move-article nil "[Gmail].Trash")))
(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "C-c m C-d")
  (lambda () (interactive) (gnus-summary-move-article nil "[Gmail].Trash")))

Create/add to file ~/.authinfo:

machine localhost login [your name] password [your password]

My process for reading new mail is:

• Notice Gnubiff dancing tux icon
• Open notmuch searching for mails tagged as 'inbox' (key: C-c c n)
• Open each mail, read them, reply and archive them by pressing 'a' Archiving mails marks then as being read on gmail the next time offlineimap is run

My process for reading old mail is:

• Open notmuch main menu (key: C-c c g)
• Select the "week" saved search that shows mails send in the last week.
• Or in rare cases where that won't work. I write a search string.

My process for sending mail is:

• Find old mail and press 'r' to reply.
• Or make a new mail using (C-x m) (<tab> completes addresses fetched from old mails).

Change appropriate line in ~/.notmuch-config:

tags=new;

New file ~/bin/notmuch-my-new:

notmuch new

notmuch tag +sent -new folder:sent and tag:new

notmuch tag +spam -new folder:spam and tag:new

notmuch tag +inbox -new tag:new

chmod +x ~/bin/notmuch-my-new
notmuch-my-new

Now change the Gnubiff "When new mail, run command" to:

offlineimap && notmuch-my-new

Download offlineimap.el into ~/.emacs.d.

Add to ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
(require 'offlineimap)
(require 'notmuch)

(setq mm-text-html-renderer nil) ;; html rendering is too slow
(setq notmuch-fcc-dirs nil) ; Gmail saves sent mails by itself

(define-key notmuch-show-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-o") 'goto-address-at-point)

(global-set-key (my-define-key-prefixer "g") (lambda ()
                                               (interactive)
                                               (call-interactively 'notmuch)
                                               (search-forward "Search: ")))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c n") (lambda ()
                                  (interactive)
                                  (notmuch-search "tag:inbox")))

(setq notmuch-saved-searches 
      '(("inbox" . "tag:inbox")
        ("week" . "date:1week..now")
        ("month" . "date:1month..now")))

(defvar my-notmuch-mail-path (expand-file-name "~/mail")
  "Location of local Maildir.")

Download nottoomuch-addresses into ~/bin.

Fetch addresses from mails:

./~/bin/nottoomuch-addresses --update

Should probably add as a cron job as well.

Add to ~/.emacs:

(require 'notmuch-address)
(setq notmuch-address-command "~/bin/nottoomuch-addresses.sh")
(notmuch-address-message-insinuate)

Adds TAB-completion in "To:" field when composing mails.
