Library laptop notes

Laptop info:

Lenovo ideapad 310-15ABR
Carrizo [1002:9874] (rev ca)

Create a USB key with an MX linux ISO on it, I used MX-23.3_x64 and Rufus on Windows or the built in USB creator on Linux.

Shutdown the laptop, boot, and mesh F2 (with the Fn key down) or boot with a pin in hole on the right hand side, to get into the BIOS.

Change the boot order to boot from USB.

Now run the installer. If it fails with failed to create partition then run GParted and create a new partition table of type gpt and reboot. The admin password for the Live USB is demo

Choose 105 Intl keyboard + English UK keyboard with no variant.

For partitioning choose entire hard drive and default options for partitions and ESP.

For computer name I used cc01 to cc10.

For domain leave the default example.dom

Untick SAMBA.

Locale: United Kindom - British English

Tick System clock uses LOCAL

Timezone: Europe/London

Default user login: codeclubadmin Deafult user password and admin password (check email)

Reboot and remove USB.

MX welcome: tick don't show at start up.

Connect to network.

Click package icon to do full upgrade.

Install Scratch3 via GDebi.

Note: sonic-pi through synaptic doesn't work

Create a user account

Use MX Tools user manager to create a codeclub account with the password of codeclub. Make sure it doesn't have the sudo group. And tick the autologin box.

Setting up git

Generate a key for the machine:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

Setting up port forwarding for git over public WIFI:

nano ~/.ssh/config

Host github.com
  Hostname ssh.github.com
  Port 443

Cloning StudentFiles in the home directory, enter:

git clone [email protected]:CroydonLibraryCodeClub/StudentFiles.git
git clone [email protected]:CroydonLibraryCodeClub/croydonlibrarycodeclub.github.io.git

Reconfigure the remote to use ssh with the following commands (you must be in each directory):

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:CroydonLibraryCodeClub/StudentFiles.git
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:CroydonLibraryCodeClub/croydonlibrarycodeclub.github.io.git

Adding your SSH key to the ssh-agent:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Copy the public key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to GitHub.

Setting the git user name and email:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "cc01"
