I've written a neat little script for synchronizing the local user profile picture (also known as "face") on domain joined Linux workstations from Active Directory (thumbnailPhoto user attribute).

It should work on all GNOME based systems and probably on other desktop environments aswell which utilize the AccountsService.

Samba Printing with CUPS using Kerberos authentication (Debian & Ubuntu)

This guide goes through the steps of installing and configuring a Windows network printer with CUPS on a Debian/Ubuntu desktop machine using Kerberos authentication.

All of the steps here are to be executed on a Debian/Ubuntu desktop machine. Some commands require sudo/pkexec (explicitly mentioned).

Bugs and caveats

1. AppArmor prevents usage of smbspool_krb5_wrapper: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998327
   • The "usr.sbin.cupsd" AppArmor profile must be modified to allow CUPS to execute smbspool_krb5_wrapper

• The workaround below may be overwritten by future updates to the cups-daemon package!
