Thay doi Cursor mac dinh trong Ubuntu 7.10

1) Download "mouse theme" you like:
- here is one place to download -> gnome-look (http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=36)

2) Copy(as root) downloaded archived file in /usr/share/icons:
cp example.tar.bz2 /usr/share/icons/

3) Go to that directory and unpack the archive:
tar xvfj example.tar.bz2
The directory with your icon name should be created here.(/usr/share/icons/Example)

Note: Some icon themes come with two or three different colors, so extracted directory will contain subfolders name like "Black" "White" "Blue" ....
You should move subfolder to /usr/share/icons/ directory like this:
mv /usr/share/icons/Example/Black /usr/share/icons/
Now the /usr/share/icons/Black foder is here where it should be.

4) Edit the file with your text editor located in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
Change the line "Inherits=Bluecurve" to whatever your new mouse icon theme directory is named. (Inherits=Example, Inherits=Black, Inherits=Blue,...)

5) Save the file and log out of your session.
When you login, the new mouse icon theme should be in use.

Genie effect

Version 0.5.5~git20070921+3v1ubuntu0 (or maybe the ones used in Gutsy?) Compiz update disabled the ability for "Magic Lamp" minimization effect to mimic the infamously "Genie Effect from Mac OSX" by limiting the "Magic Lamp Max Waves" from 0 to 3, for, probably patent issues. Some one has come with a solution to re-enable it by downloading source code, recompiling, risking breaking dependencies and such.

But there is a better/quicker way:

What you need: Compiz 0.5.5~git20070921+3v1ubuntu0 installed into your system, unsatisfied soul , gedit, ghex2

* You have to be root to modify the following files:

1. Use Hex editor to open "/usr/lib/compiz/libanimation.so"

2. Find "magic_lamp_max_waves", look for following "3", change "3" to "0"

3. Save, Close

4. Use Text Editor to open "/usr/share/compiz/animation.xml"

5. Find "magic_lamp_max_waves", look for following "3", change "3" to "0"

6. Save, Close

7. Restart GDM if the 3D desktop is currently running.

8. Set Minimization effect to "Magic Lamp", change Max Waves to "0"

Enjoy!

InstallingonUbuntu

a step by step guide for Gutsy Gibbon

THIS IS A DRAFT. DO NOT USE. IT KILLS KITTENS AND COMPUTERS TOO
Introduction

a step by step guide which assumes that you've never compiled anything on your system, and that this system is Gutsy Gibbon.
Installing with debs
on a 32 bit system

* Open a terminal
* Create a folder

mkdir global-menu-install

* Go to this folder

cd global-menu-install

* Get the patched gtk debs and panel applet with the following instruction

wget http://gnome2-globalmenu.googlecode.com/files/gnome-globalmenu-0.4.2_ubuntu-gusty-svn679.tar.gz

* Unarchive them

tar zxvf gnome-globalmenu-0.4.2_ubuntu-gusty-svn679.tar.gz

* Install them
1. cd gnome-globalmenu
2. sudo dpkg -i *.deb

* NOTE if you have installed previous version of gnome-globalmenu and meet a dependency error of libgtk-directfb-2.0-0 libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev libgtk2.0-0-dbg, you can just remove them, since they are not installed by default.

sudo dpkg -r libgtk-directfb-2.0-0 libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev libgtk2.0-0-dbg

if you still meet some errors here, try

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb

* Edit ~/.gnomerc
1. add a line to it

export GTK_MODULES=libgnomenu

* Restart your computer and right-click on the panel and click add to the panel. Look for Global Menubar. Add it. And voila. It should work.

Lỗi không dùng được lệnh SUDO!

Một ngày đẹp trời nào đó bạn bỗng thấy tại sao khi gõ lệnh sudo mà không chạy được thì đúng là "chết dở". Bởi trong Ubuntu ta phải làm nhiều việc mà nếu ko có quyền sudo thì bó tay rồi. Mình cũng đã từng bị tình trạng này, sau một lúc mò mẫm trên mạng thì đã có cách khác phục tình trạng trên. Ta làm như sau :
vào menu System/administrator/Users adn Groups => chọn root/properties/nhập password cho root
Sau đó mở terminal : gõ lệnh su =>enter =>nhập pass vừa tạo cho root
Sau đó gõ tiếp lệnh sau : chmod 0700 -R /var/run/sudo/
Test lại bằng cách : sudo nautilus thử xem sao !
