Phryq | hey, anyone know how to install themes in Unity? | 15:03 |
---|---|---|
Phryq | I just downloaded this one, http://exchange.enlightenment.org/theme/show/2607 google is no help and the site doesn't say how to install | 15:04 |
holstein | http://www.itworld.com/software/315365/install-ten-great-unity-and-gnome-shell-themes-ubuntu-1210 | 15:04 |
Phryq | thankd | 15:04 |
holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1971094 | 15:04 |
holstein | Phryq: unity is not the DE you use if you want to tweak a bunch.. | 15:05 |
Phryq | ok. What is the benefit of Unity? | 15:09 |
Phryq | isn't Gnome then faster, more customizable, and more stable? | 15:09 |
holstein | id just try them live and see what "seems" faster | 15:14 |
holstein | i wouldnt think about benefits of DE's.. just what your may or may not prefer | 15:14 |
Phryq | ok. I like Unity but I just wish I could replace the dock with something less square | 15:15 |
Phryq | which doesn't seem to be an option | 15:15 |
holstein | i use kupfer.. like gnome-do | 15:16 |
holstein | i havent cared about a "dock" or a menu in years | 15:17 |
Phryq | I just want to show off linux to my grade 5 class and turn them off of Windows, haha | 15:17 |
holstein | Phryq: show them live CD's.. show them everything | 15:17 |
Phryq | I liked fluxbox actually | 15:17 |
holstein | Phryq: the best think linux/ubuntu has is choice... show them that, and the ones who care will notice | 15:17 |
Phryq | ya | 15:17 |
holstein | Phryq: fluxbox is still around.. i use openbox | 15:17 |
Phryq | ya, I was using it with arch, but had to switch as I'm too noob for arch | 15:18 |
Phryq | though I used it for about 6 months | 15:18 |
Phryq | actually I find ubuntu with unity to be faster than arch with KDE | 15:20 |
holstein | Phryq: unity is still fairly new.. and getting faster all the time | 15:21 |
Phryq | can I add transparency without installing a new theme? | 15:23 |
holstein | Phryq: to what? | 15:24 |
isiah | installing samba on my system, wish me luck | 17:10 |
=== akar1m is now known as zz_akar1m | ||
isiah | and samba has been installed, yeah me | 18:14 |
duanedesign | awesome | 18:18 |
duanedesign | isiah: are you using ubuntu | 18:21 |
isiah | duanedesign: I have multiple vms running 2 of them are ubuntu the other 3 are centos varieties, the underlying system is centos 6 dual booted with fedora | 18:37 |
duanedesign | isiah: aha , interesting | 18:49 |
duanedesign | isiah: my setup is probably a little simpler. However I need to get samba set up to access Ubuntu from Windows. AS you probably know accessing Windows from Ubuntu is configured by default, so I have just been living with that | 18:50 |
duanedesign | at least I know who to ask questions if i get stuck ; | 18:51 |
duanedesign | ;) | 18:51 |
duanedesign | isiah: did you figure out why /usr/sbin/bonnie++ was giving you command not found? | 18:56 |
isiah | duanedesign: I think we were right yesterday that it defaults to a root-only toy | 19:19 |
isiah | I did not investigate further, figured I would just alias and change permissions later if any user needs it | 19:20 |
duanedesign | ok athanks isiah | 19:29 |
duanedesign | feel free to hang out in #ubuntu-beginners-team as well. We would love to have you join the team. | 19:30 |
duanedesign | isiah: ^ | 19:30 |
isiah | oks | 19:36 |
duanedesign | 3 | 20:18 |
isiah | samba file locks are evil | 20:45 |
isiah_s | duanedesign: do you still need a hand? Sorry about stepping out had some work to finish | 22:50 |
