Ubuntu :: Changing Default Studio Appearance To Default?
Sep 28, 2010
I was using ubuntu 10.04 till yesterday.. and due to hdd crash i have changed my hdd.
while looking for my installation disc, my wall-mate gives me this Ubuntu Studio dvd and instead of downloading a new one, i have installed the studio. at the first sight ... i am being a fond of studio version .. its really cool.
now, i am quite habituated with default appearance of ubuntu, i found studio appearance is quite unusual (for me, menu layouts, panel everything).
I would like to know how do i change this default appearance like ubuntu default 10.04 appearance. I am attaching a screen-shoot of my friends desktop, he upgraded his ubuntu thru apptitude update.

recently I have been trying to create the perfect custom ubuntu .iso to write to a usb drive so i could carry around a live cd version of my current desktop operating system. I have 2 problems...
1: using various tools like Remastersys, Ubuntu Customization Kit, and Ubuntu's own LiveCDCustomization tutorial I have managed to install most of the packages that I want.... Truecrypt is not in the repos and i would very much like it on my custom live cd. while in chroot i tried using wget to download it then extract and install it, but i got a 404 error so it did not seem to be connecting to the place to download it. is there a workaround to getting truecrypt to install into my extracted squashfs? would it be possible to download the packages to my desktop then copy them over to my chroot squashfs to be installed?
2: I have not been able to customize the default appearance of the desktop environment like the background, icons,colors, window border, panels, applets, and so on.... Ubuntu's tutorial states that I need to edit .xmls in /etc/gconf but i do not understand how to edit those to get what I want. LiveCD creates a new user with default settings everytime it is started so its a matter of editing the files that control the settings of a new user.

My panels in Ubuntu have changed appearance, and I can't figure out how to put them back to the default settings in 10.04, and I can't use my widgets, like Evolution. How do you restore them to the default settings?

im looking to allow virtualbox raw disk access to /dev/sdb
currently if i
ls -l /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,2010-01-04 17:00 /dev/sdb
now if i chmod this to 777 or use chown to change the owner this temporarily works but after a few moments it defaults back to its original permissions.
is there a way i can define the permission? i was thinking fstab but i can't have a mount point?

I am using Xampp on ubuntu 10.04 and I have set my document root to a folder in my home directory for ease of use with netbeans. There are several times where I have to manually go and change the permission to 755. If you just place a file in the directory it does not default to 755, seems odd since the document root folder is in my home directory. Chmod works fine but I was wondering is their a way to make all files or folders added to my document root to default to 755?

I'll use i3-wm, just want to know how can I start it instead of gnome using startx.
By the way, where can I get detailed info on X? I am a little confused, don't really understand what startx really starts, what X is and what does it do, how to config.

I have a Toshiba NB 205 Netbook. It is currently dual boot with Win 7 and UNR (9.10). The default OS is Win 7. I would like to leave the machine as dual boot, but make UNR the default boot OS, so that I don't have to babysit the machine and choose UNR every time I reboot the machine. BTW, I am delighted with UNR! What a great OS. Really like how it plays so nicely with Firefox. And much faster than Win 7.

I know how to install icons but i do not want to do it that way because almost all of the icons pack out there are incomplete leaving some of my programs with no icons if i install it.
Now i want to use ubuntu icon but i just want to change the icons of the folders only. Can anybody direct me to the folder where the default ubuntu "Humanity" icons are stored?
I only want to replace the humanity folder with the new folder icon which i found.

I've seen previous threads about this, but they're rather old and I can't seem to apply their solution to the latest (10.04) stable release of Ubuntu.
What's the "best" way of changing the default option in the bootloader? I'd rather set it to "Windows 7" for the time being as it's what I use at work.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10. I have a situation to where I need to use synaptic package instead of Ubuntu Software Center. How do I change the default *deb package manager from "Ubuntu Software Center" to "Synaptic Package Manager". I have users that are not to cli savvy so I need them to be able to do this in the GUI. I have clients that are having trouble installing a package that hangs because of the installation agreement(terminal window) that has to be answered but because the terminal window is not being displayed, it cannot be viewed it just hangs so I want them to use synaptic manager.

I'd like to know if there's a reliable way to change the default user in Debian: when I installed testing starting from Jessie, I used rsync to set up a duplicate stable installation and then upgraded it to testing, as a result I now have the same username for both installations, which is sometimes kinda confusing.
Reading around a bit, looks like you can indeed change your username with relative ease, but then there will be always something left behind somewhere still pointing at the old username: is that the case?

After finally installing Caliber E book Management, I realized it made itself the default App for my CBR and CBZ files (these are just renamed rar and zip files used for digital comics)
I tried right clicking and choosing -open with- Other Application and checked the "remember this application" after making Archive Manager the default; but when I click on a cbr and cbz file, caliber still start off.
What is the preferable way of changing the default application for a file type?

I have updated from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15. I have both Firefox and Chrome installed. FF used to be the default browser, but since the upgrade, each time I click on a link somewhere (help pages, documents, terminal etc.) they are opened in chrome. How do I change it back to FF?

I am attempting to modify the default umask value under all accounts on my linux system to 002. This will hopefully allow both the account and the account's group access to the created files.
I have modified it within /etc/bashrc, however it seems to be making no difference on this default value. The files I create through "File Browser" all have the access rights set to 600.
Is there any error here, as all evidence I can find on the internet points to the bashrc file.

Today I installed Xubuntu desktop on my normal Ubuntu, to see what it's like, and to have the option to run a more minimal desktop when I want.
My only problem is that my login screen loads with the Xubuntu theme. This wouldn't be a problem except it makes it take significantly longer to boot into Ubuntu (Gnome).
How can I change it back so that Gnome is the default, and XFCE only gets loaded if I pick it at login?
what are my options with customizing Gnome at the login screen?

I am currently doing a tri-boot (using refit) with Linux, Windows, and OS X. I was wondering if it was possible to change up the boot loader for Linux. I basically wanted grub to not pop-up and just boot the default version of Ubuntu. Also the boot loader comes up with the options to boot Windows and OS X and I was wondering if it would be possible to remove those from the list as well?

I'll be dual booting Fedora and Windows 7. I'll be doing a lot of remote work (SSH/VNC). But, I would like to be able to switch between Fedora and Windows remotely.For instance, if my home computer was currently booted up to Fedora, and I was at work using VNC, I would like to be able to tell the computer to restart, but start up to Windows so that I could do remote on Windows (and vice-versa).Is this possible? It seems like it should be, I just don't know the best way to go about it. It seems like maybe a simple program could be written, that when run would just do a quick rewrite of the config file for the bootloader.
