Ansible

Most of my setup is now down by the groot-workstation role in my ansible scripts. See the Readme for details.

Manual steps/troubleshooting below.

NVidia

Device manager is broken in Kubuntu Xenial. To see what drivers are recommended for your card:

Binary Driver Installation

sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
# choose from the recommended list
sudo apt-get install nvidia-367

Language

Still seems to be broken in KDE. You need to use the gnome language selector to choose your input method.

Programming

# Get the language selector
sudo apt-get install language-selector-gnome
gnome-language-selector
# Choose your language for menus and windows - English (Australia)
# Choose the input method (fcitx)
# Now you should be able to go to System Settings->Regional Settings->Input Method
#   Input Method->Default Keyboard Layout : Korean 101/104
#   Input Method->Select Input Method : Hangul (below keyboard Korean 101/104, make sure you have "Only show current language" unchecked)
#   Global Config->Trigger Input Method : Hangul
#   Appearance->Font Size : 8
#   Manage Skin : Dark

Themes

System Settings

Desktop Theme: Arezzo
Colour: Magnesium
Font: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mono
Icons: Clarity
Application Style/Widget Style: Oxygen
Application Style/Window Decorations: Kdust
Window Management/Window Behaviour: Focus follows mouse - Mouse precedence
Konsole & Kate Font: Monospace (DejaVu Sans Mono) - required for proper display of korean characters

GTK For Kubuntu

Download Mediterranean Themes from the file listed on the theme's homepage at gnome-look.org.
Untar the file in ~/.themes.
Log out, log in again.
Use the Mediterranean Darkest theme.

Theme Hacks

# Change the fugly splash screen to match your background
sudo cp /mnt/mervin/media/pictures/backgrounds/backtrack/eye_of_the_dragon.png /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/components/artwork/background.png

Hardware

LG HBS750 Bluetooth Headphones

Plugin the adapter
System Settings → Bluetooth → Adapters : should now see your adapter
System Settings → Bluetooth → Adapters → Make Visible
Turn the headphones on, should start up and immediately try pairing (flashing blue)
Check that the device was discovered
System Settings → Multimedia → Audio and Video → Audio Hardware Setup → Sound Card (LG HBS750) → Profile (High Fidelity)
System Settings → Multimedia → Audio and Video → Device Preference → Audio Playback: prefer LG HBS750 in all categories

Without the high fidelity step it will engage, but then the headset will shake (error) and amarok/youtube will just hang.
