| We installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop ('Hardy Heron') '''64 bit''' on the Tsunami laptop, dubbed chico3. For systems specifics click [http://www.tsunami.pt/catalogue/index.php?action=detailfo&rec=374&backLink=%2Fcatalogue%2Findex.php%3Faction%3Dsearchfo%26cat_id%3D94 here].
| | The black 17" Tsunami laptop, dubbed '''chico3''', was used as an interface to control to the iCub robot and to launch demos during 2009-2014. '''Go to the [[iCub laptop]] page for information on the new Toshiba laptop.''' |

| == Operating system installation ==
| | Older information can be consulted at [[Chico3/Archive]]. |
|

|
| We chose to go for Ubuntu 8.04 because it is proven to be stable and working well with the latest versions of ACE, YARP and OpenCV (as of May 2009).

| === Operations after first boot ===
| |
| | |
| Operations performed after the standard installation:
| |
| | |
| * choose Main server (rather than Portugal server, which is incomplete) as the software repository. You can do this in System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download from: Main server
| |
| * system update
| |
| * enabled nvidia proprietary drivers (necessary to obtain a decent screen resolution)
| |
| * removed the package network-manager-gnome
| |
| | |
| == Other operations performed ==
| |
| | |
| === Network ===
| |
| | |
| * manually configured the internet connection (/etc/network/interfaces):
| |
| auto lo
| |
| iface lo inet loopback
| |
|
| |
| auto eth0
| |
| iface eth0 inet static
| |

| |
| broadcast 10.10.1.255
| |
| gateway 10.10.1.254
| |
| | |
| * added the following lines to /etc/hosts, to enable running commands like: ping cortex1.

| |
| | |
| === Additional packages ===
| |
| | |
| * install some required packages:
| |
| sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libace-dev cmake libgsl0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libglademm-2.4-dev cvs g++ subversion ssh
| |

| === Additional RobotCub software ===
| |

| ==== OpenCV ====
| |
| | |
| Ubuntu prepackaged version 1.0.0-4:
| |
| sudo apt-get install libcv1 libcvaux1 libcvaux-dev libcv-dev libhighgui1 libhighgui-dev opencv-doc python-opencv
| |

| == More VisLab-specific configuration ==
| |
| | |
| * set up passwordless log-in to the Cortex computers:
| |
| #generate the public and private keys on this computer. enter empty strings when prompted for various answers.
| |
| ssh-keygen
| |
| #the cortex computers (ip addresses 10.10.1.1 to 10.10.1.5) share the same disk, so you need to do the set up only once.
| |
| | |
| #copy the public key you just generated to cortex1, on the user account you want to use there (e.g. icub).
| |
| scp /home/vislab/.ssh/id_rsa.pub icub@10.10.1.1:
| |
| #log in as 'icub' to cortex1
| |
| ssh 10.10.1.1
| |
| #add the public key to the authorized ones
| |
| cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
| |
| #remove the id_rsa.pub file and log out from cortex1.
| |
| rm id_rsa.pub
| |
| exit
| |
| exit
| |
| #log in again to each cortex computer, to check that the process worked and they don't prompt for a password.

| | |
| * set up passwordless log-in to pc104 | |

| == Customization of GNOME panel ==
| |
| | |
| We used the same [[Chico2 desktop machine configuration#Customization_of_GNOME_panel|buttons that we put on Chico2]]. We copied the files by typing this on Chico2:
| |
| scp ~/Pictures/* chico3:/home/icub/Pictures
| |
| and then manually adding the buttons one by one on the top toolbar of chico3.
