| |
|
| <pre>
| | Most important was probably mapping Alt + F1 to Open A Terminal. |
| $ apt-get update
| |
| $ apt-get -y dist-upgrade
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
|
| Now add to aptitude sources as per [[Kali 2015-06-17]] notes, and when you have added the new sources, run

|
| |
|
| <pre>
| | After a long hiatus, returning to [[Pentadactyl]], to keep me sane while I use Firefox. |
| $ apt-get update
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
|
| Now you'll be able to install stuff like xfce4.
| | =SDR on Kali= |
| | |
| ==XFCE== | |
| | |
| XFCE has a more keyboard-friendly and minimalist windows manager arrangement, so I use it.
| |
| | |
| To make the windows manager to be xfce by default, first install xfce:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| $ apt-get install -y desktop-base xfce4 xfce4-places-plugin xfce4-goodies
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| last two are optional.
| |
| | |
| ==Start XFCE==
| |
| | |
| ==Iceweasel==
| |
| | |
| All browsers are obnoxious, Firefox most of all. The vimperator plugin makes it tolerable, although it has poor documentation (read: no documentation). Here's a link: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7723/
| |
| | |
| Annoyances:
| |
| * can't use control a to select all text - it just moves the cursor to the beginning of the line (e.g. search box)
| |
| * wildly inconsistent and unpredictable behaviors with alt/meta/control/shift and arrows
| |
| * no improvement for entering text in a field.
| |
| | |
| ==Mouse Trackpad==
| |
| | |
| Annoyances:
| |
| * when i have a second finger on (or even near) the trackpad, the trackpad won't accept any input at all.
| |
| * i use the trackpad with index finger while resting thumb on bottom of trackpad
| |
| * if apple hadn't designed such an idiotic trackpad, this wouldn't be an issue
| |
| * solution is to increase the very very tiny sliver of ignored space at the bottom of the trackpad
| |
| | |
| ==Mouse Generally==
| |
| | |
| Annoyances:
| |
| * while working in termal or in firefox, Kali randomly gets a "scroll up" signal, every minute or so.
| |
| | |
| ==Keyboard Shortcuts==
| |
| | |
| Navigation and movement are the worst. It's impossible to keep keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Linux straight, mainly becuase the navigation keyboard shortcuts in Linux are so inconsistent.
| |
| | |
| Using Function + Up and Function + Down for top/bottom, and Function + Left and Function + Right to go to beginning/end of line work fine.
| |
| | |
| Annoyances:
| |
| * alt forward and alt back in browser navigate forward and back. I lose a lot of work this way.
| |
| * option foward and option back don't work as expected.
