I had Macbuntu. Worked perfectly. Long story, but I had to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu. The OS works fine now, but Macbuntu doesn't work anymore. I mean it slightly does, but the visual effects that make it feel like a real Mac don't work anymore. And the dock doesn't show up as well, so I keep on losing my windows. Basically the only things that do change is the color, the minimize, exit, maximize, and the taskbar. The wobbly effect (even though I did put yes in terminal) doesn't work, nor does the splash effects in the startup screen, etc.
If this is any help, now when I install it, half of the time I get this error that says:"The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GlobalMenu_PanelApplet""
I downloaded Macbuntu onto my Ubuntu system a few weeks ago, and was wondering whether downloading the newest Ubuntu update would conflict with my current set up? Should i uninstall Macbuntu first?
I can now no longer access my desktop. the only way I can access ubuntu is through the recovery kernel, and logging in through the command prompt. I installed this theme using install.sh also with the package is uninstall.sh though I can't access it through commands.
What happened is I downloaded the package,extracted it and ran the install.sh. It went through all of the setting up that it was supposed to do and in the end looked like it was working like it was supposed to. However my compiz got shut off so I decided to turn it back on through the desktop settings. Everything looked fine, I hit ok to accept the settings then that's when my screen went haywire. Everything on the screen was blown apart so I had to reboot, hoping that would fix it. now when I try to log back in It will go to the splash screen then go all black before the login page.I've tried resetting Gnome with rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity though that will not work either. I guess I need to have access to the desktop for that to work. I don't know what to do, can my Os be saved or am I looking at a reinstall.I think if I can disable compiz perhaps long enough to boot I might be able to get rid of that theme. thoug I can't find any info on how to do it. everyanswer I find is based on having the desktop running and using gtk programs such as metacity --replace.anyone have any ideas on how I can access my desktop again?
Macbuntu - Mac OS X Transformation Pack. Similar to Mac4Lin but dedicated to Ubuntu Linux. It can also be used in other OS based on Debian/GTK. Package includes all necessary system components to mimic Mac OS X appearance on Ubuntu Linux.
Important: - Script significantly changes the desktop. - Not compatible with Ubuntu Netbook Edition
Download & Installation :
In first download script : Click HERE for download
I saw Macbuntu and Mac4lin are awesome looking choices, but I am worried about the legality.Are these two legal in the United States of America? Do they go against the Mac OS X EULA and copyrights?
Ok so on Ubuntu 10.04 i used the Macbuntu 10.04 theme.I removed it and i found that usually when i open a program or when i click the back button in a browser or even normal buttons it makes a noise, how can i change it back to normal? I removed the macbuntu theme im even on ubuntu 10.10 now
I have installed Macbuntu theme recently and it changed my ubuntu look to snow leopard including the global menu. I used Mac4lin earlier and was satisfied with that. But this macbuntu theme changes the entire look more like mac and it comes bundled with global menu.
See my current desktop environment:
(I've recently uninstalled Docky and installed Cairo Dock instead.)
Now, there's only one thing that Macbuntu is missing. That's the splash screen. By default, you see the ubuntu logo during bootup and shutdown. But mac4lin changes it to a gray background with an apple logo on it; which is awesome. But macbuntu doesn't come with this.
I've gone through mac4lin files. Inside its plymouth folder, there is a folder named "Mac-Bootup" which contains "mac-bootup.plymouth," "mac-booktup.script" and several images (dots, apple logo, etc).
Now the question is, how do I install this plymouth from terminal? I will have to install mac4lin first to get the splash screen, then uninstall it and reinstall the current macbuntu. Which is a long mess as you can see.
However, I don't like using Apple's logo, it seems somewhat silly to me, I'm only interested in the overall appearence. During the installation, I chose the Ubuntu logo wherever I was asked, but it seems I didn't have a choice for the login screen.How can I remove that bitten apple?I found that I can set a new logo in Ubuntu Tweak, but I have no idea where to find the original Ubuntu logo file.
I'm using 'Adobe Flash plug-in 10.3.183.4ubuntu0.11.04.1', installed from the package repos on kubuntu, and since the last update, it has broken all flash functionality in both rekonq and firefox.I have tried removing and reinstalling the package multiple times, both with and without the browsers open. Can anyone suggest a way to restoring functionality?
Having downloaded remastersys, I tried to make a custom iso with mixed results.Whilst i got all my installed programs included, it didn't install my MacBuntu theme or cairo-dock by default. How can I manipulate remastersys to load MacBuntu and cairo-dock to launch when my custonm iso is booted?
When I installed my 64 bit system of Ubuntu 10.04 the sound worked very well and I were very happy. The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:
I'm having trouble getting compiz to work on my Laptop. It worked for a while and then I turned on Shift Switcher and a message popped up saying..."The new value for the button binding for the action Terminate in plugin Shift Switcher conflicts with the action Zoom Window of the Scale Addons plugin. Do you wish to disable Zoom Window in the Scale Addons plugin?" I was given the option of Set Terminate anyway, Don't set Terminate, and Disable Zoom Window. I clicked Don't set Terminate and ever since the only thing that works in compiz are the bindings in the general options. I've used synaptic to completely remove and then reinstall compiz but the problem persist. Something else weird, all of the changes I made are still there, even after complete removal, but they don't work?
When I try to hibernate, the computer just goes to a blank, black screen and doesn't turn off. I have to hold the power button to get it to shut down, and when I turn it back on none of the programs running before hibernation have been saved.
I just recently (about an hour ago) installed Ubuntu Netbook edition on my old laptop, and I was greeted with the message, that unity could not be run due to some sort of missing driver...fair enough, I was then greeted with the default Ubuntu desktop, I installed all my needed software (wine, google chrome) and installed the missing display drivers. I then rebooted the system, and once again I am stuck with the default desktop, and not the Unity interface. I checked the software center, and it says Unity IS in fact installed.. And yet I cannot make it appear. So now I ask you Ubuntu veterans. How do I make it work?
P.S. I wiped the system of windows, and the computer is an old HP Pavilion DV6000
I have this annoying problem since day one.I am testing out Red Hat RHEL5, everything is fine except DNS look up.If I ping www.google.com, it doesn't work, ping ip address it all works;if I bring up browser, put www.google.com it doesn't work, can't find the name, however, simply put ip address there it works.My DNS seeting seems ok, and the DNS works from Windows box.
I just wanted to post here to let anyone know how to fix a broken Mic in 10.04. I have an XPS m1530 and was running RC and updating. This was a big problem since I use Skype a lot to talk to freinds and family out of country.I fixed it by removing and re-installing Alsa but this may not be a problem for people installing from the final release ISO.here are the commands you need to run
My atl gr key often doesnt work. Since I have an azerty lay-out, I often need this key (fi for typing @).
I tested it with xev and got the following output (first one is for a key that does work, fi alt_l and second output for the alt gr key to show the difference)
alt_l KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 1411517, (-111,434), root570,459), state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
ssh works fine on root but when i log into my other account, the ssh doesn't work, it just times out when i putty it. I used this to try and start it from terminal in my reg acc, and then as the su.
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start After that didn't work i did this sudo apt-get remove openssh-server sudo apt-get install openssh-server sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
and still nothing. I have no clue why it only works on root and no other accounts.
My awn manager for the awn dock does not seem to want to open. I have tried to open it so I can configure my awn dock to work properly but it does not seem to want to co-operate. Should I uninstall and reinstall it or what?
I just tried a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 and a new attempt for 3D acceleration with my ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 - AND IT WORKED! thanx to this guide: [URL] glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" was giving a YES and playonlinux in the terminal didn't give the usual "you don't seem to have any 3D acceleration" message. For a few minutes, my happiness was greater then ever (ehum) I installed Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast, and it worked. Only I couldn't adjust the screen size or the gamma (and a few other minor video settings). After some install/reinstall of playonlinux and wine I found out something: 3D acceleration didn't work any longer. glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" is now giving
direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set) and I get the error in Playonlinux that i don't have any 3D acceleration. I want to know how this could happen? My xorg didn't change at all. But for completeness, here it is:
I have tried all the usual stuff like: apt-get cups-pdf and similar things.
Of course I use the proper way (like sudo, etc.) The point is I can't print PDF files. Have a look at the image:
<snip>
I have also modified to the cups-pdf.conf file and have directed it to /home/{USER}/PDF And yes the aforementioned folder (i.e. PDF) exists at its proper place.
So I think the main problem is "P2POutputStream" error which you can see in the image.
or at least, it doesn't seem to. for some reason, my .txt, .doc, .rtf, and other files that shouldn't have the execute bit set often seem to (i think i know why, but that's not important). it's my understanding that this command should, for example, remove the execute bit from all .rtf files recursively (that is, from .rtf files in subdirectories too):
Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?
When I try to print any PDF from either Acroread or Evince, it doesn't print and the queue tells me the printer isn't connected; and yet, when I print from OpenOffice.org, everything's fine.
I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 and I am experiencing problems with the fglrx diplay driver.I installed it with Jocky and rebooted.Everything works fine. But everything is so un-smooth. Like dragging & resizing windows.It's not updating instantly.It was smooth before installing fglrx but then I couldn't boot without nomodeset.I am using a widescreen LCD monitor.My xorg.conf
I like to be able to type an em dash, so I set my right alt key to choose "third level" characters. This has worked fine until just now, I suddenly noticed it doesn't work anymore. I don't use it all the time, so I'm not sure when it stopped working, but I'm pretty sure it was working when I first clean-installed 10.04.
The last thing I installed was compizconfig-settings-manager, but after uninstalling that, it still didn't work. right now, when I press and hold right alt, it's as if the key isn't being pressed, every other key works as if nothing is pressed, whereas if I press and hold left alt, it acts like an alt key.
