## Pair Firefox29 with Owncloud mozilla_sync

* Go to your Owncloud installation `https://myowncloud/remote.php/mozilla_sync` and accept the SSL Certificate * Open `about:config` * Create: `services.sync.username <string>` The value should be a hash not the username itself. (You only need the hash if the sync was setup with a pre FF29, if you start from scratch the string doesn't matter) * Restart Firefox * Go to: Preferences → Sync → Setup Firefox sync (you should see the old UI now)

  • 'I Have an Account'
  • 'I don't have the device with me'
  • 'Account' - again use the hash NOT the actual username!
  • 'Password' - …
  • 'Recovery Key' - Get the right key from an older browser, you can find it in the sync settings

To generate the hash:

import hashlib,import base64
print base64.b32encode(hashlib.sha1("user@server.tld").digest()).lower()

## Add AwesomeWM to LightDM session list

Looks like it's a bug, but can easily be fixed. Edit /usr/share/xsessions/awesome.desktop and change `NoDisplay=` from _true_ to _false_.

## Show the whole HID descriptors on GNU/Linux

  # Unbind the HID driver
  cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hiddev
  ls
  # Find the filename for the interface you want to unbind. Form is:
      B-P:C.I
  # where B is the bus number, P is a string of port numbers separated by periods, C is the configuration value, and I is the interface number.
  echo -n interface-filename >unbind
  # When you're done, reattach it
  echo -n interface-filename >bind
