Setting up my Raspberry Pi. Experiences with crunchbang, ubunutu, bunsenlabs help, but in Raspbian some things still are slightly different, namely:

[ecae_button]

(1) Autostart

Autostart file is at /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/auto. Add programmes preceded by “@”

(2) dmenu

To use Alt+F3 for demnu install xbindkeys, then see Xah Lees tutorial

(3) Firefox

sudo apt-get install firefox-esr

(4) VeraCrypt

Diy… Sigh. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=90895#p1426321https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=90895#p1426321

(a) take care you do download the tar-file, not the signature.

(b) to this day, not a single make install worked for me. Ever. But today, on the second attempt, I got where I wanted.

(5) Kodi

Composer in Kodi: [1] and [2] and [3]

(6) Remote

Yet to try: http://raspi.tv/2012/install-and-use-tightvnc-remote-desktop-on-raspberry-pi-through-windows-android-or-ios

[Client 1] and [Client 2]

(7) Spotify

(8) Netflix and the likes

Want DRM? Easy (if you’re comfortable with running some script an open source script you might or might not understand from some website in mother Russia the US of A. Worked for me.
