Ubuntu :: Upgraded To Maverick; Can't Change Theme?
Jan 16, 2011
I just upgraded to Maverick, and now I can't change my theme except for the cursor and window border/decoration.I've just reinstalled the themes I want to use (Dust + Dust extra) successfully, and while the window border/decorations change properly when I select them, nothing else changes. The icon set doesn't change;gnome-panel doesn't change. I'm stuck on the fugly fallback theme - the one you see when you do gksudo gedit or something.
I upgraded from 8.4 all the way through to 10.04. I want the default 10.04 theme and it's settings (the dark one). Cant find the actual one in my themes folder. Whats teh name of it, or is there a way to just choose default for all?
I've upgraded to Maverick but now I cannot get my wireless card working. In Lucid it didn't work out of the box, but worked perfectly by wrapping the Windows driver with ndiswrapper.
I noticed when I installed Maverick that wireless is enabled in Network-Manager and it gives me the option to create a wireless network or connect to a hidden network but it's not discovering/showing any of the wireless networks in range! So it seems as though the card is being recognized but the driver isn't working fully...? I tried wrapping the windows drivers, but that didn't change the situation at all.
I upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). Upon rebooting after the upgrade I get a black screen. No login window, nothing. Just a black, empty void on my screen.My laptop has a Nvidia graphics card, and reading around on the internet I heard that there is a problem with Meerkat and Nvidia cards, something to do with the driver or some such thing.Is there a way to fix this?I'm wondering if it's possible to boot Ubuntu into a command line interface instead of X Windows, log in, and change the driver settings in xorg.conf? How would I go about booting into the command line? Is there a sequence of keys to press at boot time?
I upgraded from Maverick to the Natty beta a little while ago. It all worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then, this morning, I was unable to boot. I got to GRUB, picked the first option and it went to the Ubuntu 11.04 with the dots, then returned this:
Code: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/sdb2: clean, 330122/2170880 files, 7302496/8683520 blocks init: udevtrigger main process (367) terminated with status 1 init: udevtrigger post-stop process (372) terminated with status 1 init: udevmonitor main process (366) killed by TERM signal
I want to use gtk-theme-switch to change my theme in openbox (would rather not use any gnome/kde/etc.. tools for this), but after installing it I cannot get it to run:
Quote: tr@linux:~$ sudo apt-get install gtk-theme-switch Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
I updated my laptop from F12 to F14 via preupgrade. After doing so, the standard mouse theme was active. So I installed the one I like again and set it as mouse theme. For some reason it is now a mixture of the one I installed and the standard theme. If I open a place in nautilus the displayed symbol is the right one while waiting, if I open something in control center I get the standard icon. Same problem with drag and drop, I always get the hand from the standard theme. I also tried the former standard theme Bluecurve and it was the same problem.Can anyone tell me what goes wrong with the theme? What has changed in F14, that the older themes won't work?
I upgraded my dedicated server using the do-release-upgrade command, and it seems to have installed many extra packages I do not require. This is a headless server in a datacentre, yet the upgrade caused me to install GUI packages I do not need. Is there a way to quickly remove all but the default server packages?
In past versions of Ubuntu, I've used a customized version of oxygen-refit-red. This time, however, there is no apparent option to install the theme from a tar.bz2 file.
How can I disable login sounds in maverick without completely disabling the ubuntu sound theme?I just want it to not make sounds on startuplogin but still make the ubuntu sounds when new mail is received, etc.
this was the instruction given.Use 'gdmsetup' to install.bBut when I open my so called "gdmsetup" or log in screen from system - admin all I find is...
playing sound show list of users show screen for choosing who will log in login as automatically select default session
I can't change my GDM theme any more nor will I be able to in the next version of Ubuntu! I know why (the gnome developers took the feature out in the re-write of GDM). I have two questions. Why is GDM so bloated that they can't re-write all of the features? It also seems to take a lot of resources (more than the others). My second question. When, if ever, will I be able to customize my gdm theme again?
What happened to the gdm configuration screen where I could change the default gdm theme? This seems to have disappeared from ubuntu 10.04, and in my personal opinion, the white/purple default theme of the new gdm is terrible and I would like to change it. Where is the GUI for this in lucid, and why has it disappeared?
EDIT: System -> Administration -> Login Screen only allows me to change automatic logins and other features like that. The GUI I'm referring to isn't there.
I can get to System / Preference / Appearance / Theme in 10.04 but when I decide I want to use the Clearbooks theme and open it, there is no icon to click to install it. Exactly how does this work, step by step?
just what the title says. i installed a theme from synaptic, but it has no effect.for those of you who don't know, plymouth is the program that shows the boot screen.
I've decided to migrate from gnome to openbox but I'm having a few issues with lxappearance in order to change the gtk theme. When I run lxappearance I get the following error (lxappearance:3812): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated And I'm unable to change any of the themes. When I do try and change the theme I get the following (lxappearance:381: Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated.
I am trying to use Emerald Theme Manager and I have downloaded a theme, imported it and it's showing there but it won't change on the desktop.licking thheme...pressing enter while its highed...nothing changes
Got a simple question about xubuntu. I installed it from ubuntu via 'xubuntu-desktop' package and all seems to be working fine. My ubuntu programs and files appear in xubuntu and run normally. However, when I change the theme, the metacity window frame remains the same. How do I change it? It's stuck with the last used ubuntu metacity theme.
Recently I noticed my system theme changed itself to a grey blocky look that I can only assume is the gnome default. I cannot change it back to anything else, like Ambiance or Dust through the appearance window.
I run Compiz and Emerald for effects and themes. Compiz effects and Emerald's window borders work fine, I have my Emerald theme but the icons, menus and buttons are all this ugly old look and I cannot change it. I have tried reloading the window manager, rebooting, switching Compiz and Emerald off and using Metacity and GTK Window Decorator, but the theme doesn't change. I can't change buttons, menus, colors or icons.
When I open System > Prefs > Appearance, I can choose a theme and oddly enough it changes the theme for the appearance window, but only the appearance window and nothing else.
I have a customized Ubuntu 10.04 TLS Desktop running. I have all the task and tool bars removed and only icons on the desktop are left.My question is how do I change the Theme without using the menus but by editing the config files instead? What config files do I edit to make the change?So far I added these 2 files:.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml
I am running 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1500 series laptop. I updated my computer yesterday, and now my desktop theme is different. In 10.04, changing the theme was easy, just go to appearance settings and choose. For some reason, when I go to appearance and select a theme now, the only options I get are customize and install, neither of which do anything to help me change my theme. The install button takes me to my home directory...presumably to pick a theme file. But I can't find any themes in my home directory.
I changed the pic for the theme in 05_debian_theme but when I got to update-grub I get this:
Generating grub.cfg ... /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme: line 43: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
I have looked at a sample debian_theme file mine looks the same except for the name of the pic. the 'fi' is the one after the EOF.When I pasted in the image name I put .tng so I back spaced that out and there is still a '.' after the image name.Can I just restore the 05_debian_theme file without rebuilding the grub?
so normaly in order to change root qt/gtk app's theme in KDE, i have to run kdesudo system settings. I think it is possible via linking to have the root theme automaticly sync with my user theme, but i dont know which files to link.
Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? I put a new theme in I really like, but my IMs and other windows that would normally flash to show they need attention now do nothing, so I don't know when I get an IM or anything. Is there any way I can tweak that?
