To Do List After installing Ubuntu 9.04 aka Jaunty Jackalope
This post is a follow up of this. In Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope , as you would expect from any upgrade, the packages are a bit different, so i decided to write the Jaunty’s To Do List on its own. So here you go :
1 – Expand the Software Repository List
First of all, lets make Ubuntu “see” more packages. Go to the terminal and edit your sources.list with :
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Here is the content of my sources.list which I think is quite complete to have all the necessary applications you could ever need. So delete the whole content of your sources list and replace it with the content of mine
Save it. Go to the Terminal and type:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Now all your programs will run on the last version.
2 – Anti-Virus
Windows equivalent : AVG AntiVirus, NAV, TrendMicro, F-Prot, Kaspersky, …
Ubuntu equivalent : Avast
Avast
wget http://files.avast.com/files/linux/avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb
Access it through Accessories → avast! Antivirus .
3 – Essential tools for compiling from sources
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall cdbs devscripts dh-make fakeroot libxml-parser-perl check avahi-daemon
4 – Java runtime environment
Java is a very important thing to install, now that many programs like Azureus need it to run. So type:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin equivs ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho
5 – More Fonts
Here you will find a bunch of fonts you can install on your system, but remember that you don’t need to install all of them
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 && sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts && sudo apt-get install ttf-larabie-straight ttf-larabie-deco mplayer-fonts xfonts-terminus-dos xfonts-terminus xfonts-terminus-oblique xfonts-mona tv-fonts ttf-tuffy ttf-sjfonts ttf-sil-padauk ttf-sil-ezra ttf-paktype ttf-georgewilliams ttf-fifthhorseman-dkg-handwriting ttf-farsiweb ttf-essays1743 ttf-opensymbol ttf-nafees ttf-mgopen ttf-gentium ttf-freefont ttf-dustin ttf-devanagari-fonts ttf-dejavu-extra ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-alee

3.)./AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin
Thanks,
Vaibhav
None of these methods work for x86_64 architecture
@Vijay
if you’re using amd 64 , in your sources.list you should have :
deb-amd64 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner
instead of
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner
which is for i386 architectures.
damnit!!! ityal you might have put that piece of vital info at the begining.
“if you’re using amd 64 , in your sources.list you should have :
deb-amd64 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner
instead of
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner
which is for i386 architectures.”
Anyway, it doesn’t work I just get the following message:
“E: Type ‘deb-amd64’ is not known on line 30 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.”
Doh!!! Now I’ll need to go and figure out how to retrieve my original source list.
even if many programs comes already installed very good post thx cuz many of them i didnt know

your source file mentions adding keys but i cant find the keys in the file like it says to do. i’m pretty new heh
Problems semi-solved.
using your previously posted source list I got the keys for the jaunty list. using the synaptic i hit reload to find which keys were missing and either added them in terminal or ### them out in the source list. was able to install amarok from add/remove programs when i could not before and I got everything I wanted installed! Thanks!
@ Evan
Glad to know that your problem are solved now. At the head of the sources.list, i mentioned how to add the keys, like if you get this :
W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A040830F7FAC5991
to add the keys
just do :
gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv A040830F7FAC5991
gpg –export –armor A040830F7FAC5991 | sudo apt-key add -
Thanks
gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv A040830F7FAC5991
returns a message: usage: gpg [options] [filename]
Any thoughts?
Eagleman
@Eagleman
this :
gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv A040830F7FAC5991
should actually be :
gpg –-keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –-recv A040830F7FAC5991
Thanks
This gives me the same error

i really missed my opera
thank you
GrtzzZ
I am getting the following response. Could it be fixed ..
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
you have your synaptic open or some other update manager.
@wilfried
it means may be the Sypnatic package manager is being used or you’re installing some package using another terminal or ubuntu itself is updating the sources ….
So try to close any other processes installing packages or wait for a while and retry again
Thank you! This has been a great resource an d a huge time saver.
Thanks. Your dedication really helped a lot of us to make a great system! Mick
The First thing I usually do is choose the best software server.
System > Administration > Software Sources. It has a Choose Best Server test, which pings all 185 Ubuntu download servers and picks the best one for you.
Oh by the way this is one of the BEST ” things to do after Ubuntu install”, I’ve ever seen. Good Work. THANK YOU.

That’s a nice to do list and I don’t even use that distribution anymore. Good job on the post.
After installing “sudo aptitude install googleearth”, the splash screen of Google Earth appears, but that is all, then it vanishes. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, but still it does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks. Mick
@MCMalkemus
install it again and launch it from the command line and watch any error output in the terminal. it could give u some clues on why it’s not starting
Excellent job. That was a big help. Very complete article. Thank you so much!

I’m new to ubuntu. If I read the above correctly, the GLX flies need to be reinstalled. I searched synaptic package manager and found several packages with glx, but am not sure which one(s) to install. Of course, I may be way off here…
I checked under Xlib too, but still wasn’t too sure what should be done. Thanks again for your help Mr. Moustapha.
@MCMalkemus
it means u don’t have OpenGL , 3D enabled. i’m guessing you have an ati or nvidia card. try to install the appropriate driver first.
System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
then restart ubuntu then try reinstalling googleearth
Thanks
Yes Sir, you were correct! Somehow the nvidia driver was corrupted. I reinstalled it, and Google Earth runs perfectly.
Many thanks. Keep up the good work. Your efforts are much appreciated!
Thanks for this Lovely Post, i didn’t knew i was missing so many plugins I’m going to use ur post as a guide to finish setup my jaunty desktop
Thanks again
Man thanks, this got me back up and going after upgrading from intrepid. Soo Thankful!! Couldn’t get Google Gadgets to run…but really who cares, I just wanted to see it installed to show off. More hard drive space for me haha

I just loaded installed 9.04 jaunty and I can not get the compiz to work. I am new to ubuntu so I don’t know how very much works. I can go into the synaptic package manager and see that compiz is in there, but cannot get it to run. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Justin W Jones
@justin w jones
first if you have an ati or nvidia graphic card, try to install the respective driver from System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
Ubuntu 9.04 comes with compiz fusion effects OOTB but doesn’t offer a way to customize them.
In a terminal copy/paste this:
sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm
Now navigate to System → Preferences → Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager .
or to get the advanced configuration
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Now navigate to System → Preferences → CompizConfig Settings Manager .
Thanks
Thanks a lot, this is a big help!!

Anyone know how to install Second Life in 9.04?
I’ve downloaded the SecondLife-i686-1.22.11.113941.tar.bz2
Thanks.
http://www.getdeb.net/download/4350/0
GetDeb has a debian package that will install the application without the need of compiling. Follow the link and let the installer do the rest
Thanks…
I’ve been getting this error since the las 2 days when i try to update. I try to repaste you source list but it still shows the same error, this is what I get:

I just realize Playonlinux have just changed their repository address. So in your sources.list, instead of :
deb http://deb.mulx.net/ jaunty main
put :
deb http://deb.playonlinux.com/ jaunty main
i’ve updated mine too and in the post.
Thanks
Thanks for the incredible list of app equivalents!

Thanks for this article. It was extremely helpful and well written.
I tried to replace my sources list with yours, I ran the code in terminal, but was not clear on how to delete my old one or if this was all done by itself. I couldn’t even find an old sources list, only the sources list in administration and that was just checked boxes… and lastly I could not configure java6 because the terminal wanted me to choose smtp mail (or other choices) but could not use my keyboard or mouse to select anything… nice article- I just seem to lag in knowledge
and please notify my , I forgot to check that
@Metylyerdurden
to edit your sources.list, go to the terminal and type :
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
then copy and paste the content of the pdf you download from the post then run this in your terminal :
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
then continue and install any application you like in the list

@mauricio
check your sources.list :
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and edit the mysql workbench repo line.
make sure the deb and the deb-src are not on the same line . it should be like this :
# MySQL Workbench
deb ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/ubuntu/ binary/
deb-src ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/gui-tools/ubuntu/ source/
Actually if you don’t use mysql workbench, u can remove the two lines

any help would be more than welcome.

there is no need to adapt this to the x64 architecture if you installed the 32bit version of the Operating system. Even so , most of the repos will still work. Some won’t, u can uncomment from the sources.list

“E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock – open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory” means there is another process running software updates or probably the auto update feature that was running while you were performing an application installation. So go stop sypnatic Package manager if it was opened, go to System->Administration->Software Sources, then on the updates tab uncheck “Check for updates” in Automatic updates.
Restart and install your applications as usual
Thanks
hi Mr Moustapha
the solution u gave me only solved the problem im facing temporarily… i did close the synaptics this time and also checked for any updates tab checked ,but this time when the download is complete in the terminal a blue screen appears in the terminal itself ,, which says post configuration…. and then i think the installation stops from there….. u can do nothing in that screen.
now again when i try to install something this is th message that comes up.
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock – open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
now again im unable to install anything
@vinu
I’m sorry to hear that u haven’t solved your problem. you could try to do :
- a fresh install,
- then before doing anything, install graphic card drivers if you have nvidia or ati card.
- then disable auto update and do “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade” without modifying your sources.list
-restart to make sure everything is fine.
then modify your sources.list with mine, then do another “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade”
I hope it helps you
Thanks

@Harry
seems like ATI Radeon X1050 have been moved to the legacy software support structure of AMD. so if you’re having problems with it, try installing the open source driver for ATI cards. Here is a link that could help you :

Jaunty is working nicely (under safe mode at resolution 800×600 only) but having ATI blues !! Don’t ever try install envyNG on Jaunty having ATI Radeon X1050 as it does not as experienced.
Any help in getting ATI Radeon X1050 to work on Jaunty is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Good news and bad news Skype has no (AMD64) build but thats not important because im not useing it.. the ftp servers for mysql will not go thru because of the schools firewalls (also not important) What IS important thou
the server location to grab the keys needed is not returning keys anymore. I’ve removed the possibility of the school firewall and apparently the subkeys.pgp.net is doing some wierd redirecting and load balancing. Causing me and others at the school unable to recieve keys for the updates. We pretty much use this web page as a bible of sorts because most of us have had no training with linux and ubuntu is our first baby.. Is there anyway to manually get the whole key structure or save the keys somewhere then replace them so we dont have to get them directly from the subkeys server? Maybe have a alternate location?
I attempted to direct it to a IP address instead of subkeys.pgp.net with no luck as well
gpg –keyserver 114.31.78.196 –recv A040830F7FAC5991
gpg –export –armor A040830F7FAC5991 | sudo apt-key add -
@DarkMist
instead of “subkeys.pgp.net” , you can use “keyserver.ubuntu.com” so to add keys you can type in your terminal :
gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv A040830F7FAC5991; gpg –export –armor A040830F7FAC5991 | sudo apt-key add -
Thanks
Thank you, thank you very much. Shuck
ran.
This was a great post, and I thank you for it!
A few suggestions to make this even better:
1) Like another commenter said, going and finding the fastest Ubuntu mirror site can make a difference.
2) For key addition, you don’t need to add to your gpg keyring first, then add to Apt with a separate command. You can run the following single command, with the key ID mentioned once, and it does it for you:
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys KEY
3) Instead of replacing sources.list, use the new sources.list.d directory. So, maybe you could offer your sources.list as “theindexer.list”, and instruct people to put it into /etc/sources.list.d/theindexer.list. That way, people don’t need to be scared about replacing an important system file, you’re merely adding on to it. Plus, Synaptic can manage the sources listed in this directory graphically, so once it’s added, enabling/disabling is as simple as checkboxes.
Personally, I have created a separate file for each source where it makes sense, and included some info in the filenames. So I’ve got conduit-ppa.list for the trunk version of Conduit from Launchpad PPA. Same thing for compiz, compiz-ppa.list. This way, I can differentiate in case later on I add another Compiz repository. Google’s repo gets added just as google.list.
@KlfJoat
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll update the post a bit

Hi Salimane,
I have installed AcetoneISO by “copy and paste” the given command line to Terminal as follows:
“sudo apt-get install libksba8 libenca0 libtwolame0 fuseiso kommander p7zip-full gnupg-agent gnupg2 pinentry-qt mencoder cdrdao
wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/getdeb/ubuntu/intrepid/ac/acetoneiso_2.0.2-0~getdeb1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i acetoneiso_2.0.2-0~getdeb1_i386.deb”
However cannot find AcetoneISO program under “Application” but “Programming > Kammander Editor” instead.
Then I tried reversing the installation using command line
“dpkg -r libksba8 libenca0 libtwolame0 fuseiso kommander p7zip-full gnupg-agent gnupg2 pinentry-qt mencoder cdrdao”
which may affect other programs installed such as K3b.
1. Please advise and help in removing all the installed as per above command lines without affecting other programs.
2. Please advise the best method of installing AcetoneISO.
Thank you in advance.
@Harry
there is now an update version of acetoneiso.
To satisfy dependencies , run the following :
sudo apt-get install libksba8 libenca0 libtwolame0 fuseiso kommander p7zip-full gnupg-agent gnupg2 pinentry-qt mencoder cdrdao libqt4-webkit libphonon4 phonon phonon-backend-gstreamer
To install the new version :
wget http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/getdeb/ubuntu/jaunty/ac/acetoneiso_2.0.3.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i acetoneiso_2.0.3.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
Access it via Sound & Videos -> AcetoneISO
Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind assistance.
Followed your instructions successfully installed the dependencies and AcetoneISO 2.0.3.1. However “Kommander Editor” still appears on
Programming > Kommander Editor
Anyway to remove “Programming > Kommander Editor” since I have no use for it ?
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

help me for this
hi there
this is a great list!
eases the post-install process very much.
BUT
you have forgotten one very essential thing (according to me) and that is the Yakuake terminal emulation.
it gives you a dropdown terminal (with F12, it’s configurable) which is missing from the standard (k)ubuntu installtion.
it’s called “KDE Terminal Emulator” but i’m very sure that one can use it with Gnome as well (i am a KDE user, don’t like gnome)
you never have to go and “look for the terminal” anymore.
it’s always only 1 press of a key away …
to install: sudo apt-get install yakuake
this installs version 2.9.4 (i think)
or you can go to the homepage (http://yakuake.uv.ro/) and install the newest version. it says it is 2.7.3 but i think it is 2.9.6.
BTW. the homepage is under reconstruction so don’t expect much
just my addition to your list
i think it’s incomplete without that.
Can u just update the sources.list so we can copy it cause i still don’t understand the NO Pub_key

I have already updated my sources.list :
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1402212/jaunty.sources.list
with the related keys for each repo. So basically you just need copy and paste them into your terminal

Great post but all of this is incomplete for me because my headphones dont work in Jaunty. Please suggest some procedure(if any) to get it work. I have already enabled surrond option.
Pardon me for deviating from the topic.
@Cyfr
please check if your headphones is notmuted by going to volume icon in taskbar-> click on volume control-> check headphones is not muted
go to menu-> system->preferences-> sound and try to check if your headphones was selected in the device properties. sometimes only the back sound I/O ports are working not front or vice versa
Thanks

I have a NVDIA Geforce Go 7400 Graphics Card.
System –> Administarion –> Hardware Drivers doesn’t work properly.
How can I install drivers manually
@dhiresh
i would suggest you update your system first, make sure everything is up to date. and try to check the hardware drivers again. it should there for you to enable them. if you would like to install them manually you can go the the nvidia website, there are instructions with it.
Thanks
thank you”!!! information very very clear and useful

but when i restarted my computer and opened my ubuntu… i found my sound drive gone…network not available.. it is in the menu option but not functioning… in the shutdown menu restart button is missing.. and a lot of ubuntu option in my boot option…which boot otion should i hide from menu.lst???
please help me in this regard as soon as possible…
as i can’t access internet through my ubuntu.. the problem is even bigger..
awaiting ur prompt response..
thanks
suju
@sujeet shrestha
I would suspect that you did a kernel upgrade and booted on the new kernel. But may be some of the modules were not compiled for that new kernel. so first try to enable the hardware drivers (if you have some) in Menu->System->Administration->Hardware Drivers.
If nothing found, you have to reboot and use a previous kernel until there are some new updates that correct the problem. u just need to select a previous kernel when booting at the grub options.
I hope it works
Thanks
i saw the hardware driver option.. nothing displayed..
and i reboot with previous kernal.but the same problem..
actually the new kernel ..doesn’t boot…
after the loading..it doesn’t show username and password option. it just get blank./
pls help me..
@sujeet shrestha
first make sure your sources.list is clean and contains only ubuntu jaunty repositories. I met a case before where a friend used a debian repository on ubuntu and messed up the packages
then try
sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and see if any errors or if it works
Thanks
thank you Salimane Adjao Moustapha
no my jaunty is the same source list that u posted on this blog. Anyway thank you for your regular and prompt help…
i just opened the recovery mood and after that process every thing is now normal..
again thank you.

if you check the sources.list, you could see that for each repositories, I specified the command to copy and paste to import all the necessary keys.
Please check the sources.list and copy and paste the commands for keys in your terminal
Thanks
Thanks loads! You saved me a ton of time, I appreciate the time and detail you put into this very thorough post.
Also, ubuntu-tweak is really cool, never heard of it but it’s very handy.

hi
how i can i fix it my brother?
Am trying to configure Creative 5.1 speakers, sound card Sound Balster live, but unable to do so. Only 2speakers are working and the rest seems dead. I am using VLC player for watching movies.
Thanks a loooooooot!!!!!
This is a lovely post.
hi:
thanks for your very complete list.
by any chance, is there a native linux program to use instead of Picasa?
Cheers
pizzazz
PICASA….
Many thanks for a very useful post. The only issue I had was the installation of Picasa. It seemed to loop around the download of a 24.1mb file and when it got up to the 28th time it downloaded the file I stopped the process.
I can’t imagine this was correct. Did anyone else have the same issue?
Cheers

please help me.

hi salimane ,
how do i play hd movies which are 1080*1920 pxls on linux
which software or player do i use,,,
do ineed to upgrade anything
should i make ammends in my source. list…
pleaselet me know
peace take care
@vijay
You could try to install vlc and use it. The other media players don’t handle hd movies well. and if you have a good graphic card and more RAM, your chances would be better.
Thanks
Thanks so much, it was very helpful. We hope you’ll do the same for ubuntu 9.10 once released.
Hi,
I feel a bit guilty about asking you a question to a problem I am facing on Ubuntu, not a problem, but something like a fix required. I have already asked this question on Ubuntu forums, but havn’t got any reply. I guess, it being the biggest, many questions tend to be ignored.
So, if you can, please help me here:
I have the regular version of Jaunty already installed.
I happened to download Ubuntu Studio Jaunty and burn it on a DVD. Now, how do I add the features of Studio into my current installation without having to do a clean install? I know there is a command to be pasted that will simply download the ’studio extras’ from the internet. But I don’t want to waste my time doing that since most of the extra 600 MB of studio stuff is already on my DVD.
And since both, my installed Ubuntu and the DVD Studio are the same version, the option for UPGRADE that pops up does not help.
I would appreciate your help!!
@Lenin D’Cruz
go to
Menu -> System -> Administration -> Softwares Sources
Click Third Party Software tab
Then “Add CD-ROM…” button
insert the ubuntu studio cd in your drive and after it loads the cd source in your sources, close the dialog.
then go to your terminal and type :
sudo apt-get update
and then :
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt
Thanks

Is any way to create a mp3 audio CD converting wav files to mp3 format?
Thanks
@Vitaliy
In VLC, you can convert video and audio files from one format to another. Several different formats are supported like MP4, WMV, AVI, OGG, MP3 etc. To access the converter:
Go to Media>Convert/Save.
Load the file you want to convert using the Add button and click Convert.
Now choose the output format and output file location.
Thanks
Hi, when I copy your commands, I get extra commands depending on how I select your line eg
there is a line for codecs:
sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder mpeg2dec vorbis-tools id3v2 mpg3
but if I copy it, and include the whitespace below I get:
sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder mpeg2dec vorbis-tools id3v2 mpg321 mpg123 libflac++6 ffmpeg toolame libmp4v2-0 totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert mozilla-helix-player helix-player libmad0 libjpeg-progs libmpcdec3 libquicktime1 flac faac faad sox toolame ffmpeg2theora libmpeg2-4 uudeview flac libmpeg3-1 mpeg3-utils mpegdemux liba52-dev

When installing new software I use synantic package manager not
sudo apt-get. You get the correct package and it is easyer to uninstall if needed. Smarter people than me can use apt-get but if not an expert use synaptic, especially if your using 64bit
Hello,
Your site is extremely helpful but I’m having some issues with GStreamer (step
and I really don’t know what to do. I have no sound in a virtual machine running (X)ubuntu 9.04 as the operating system but I had sound running the same setup with (X)ubuntu 8.10 as the OS. I will give as much information as I can and hopefully you can help. Let me tell you the set up first. I have an IBM Intellistation Z-Pro with dual Intel Xeon 2.8Ghz processors and the sound card is identified as a SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio card. As I said in the beginning, I’ve built a simple virtual machine (with VMware and I have installed the vmware tools) with the 32bit version of (X)ubuntu 9.04. First off, I know that no soundcard is being recognized because in terminal, I run the “aplay” command and the output says “device_list:217: no soundcards found”. Another error I get is:
GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem.
This error makes sense because I have issues when trying to complete step 8 of your instruction. In step 8 there are 4 GStreamer items that need to be retrieved and installed. I can install the first three items without a problem but for gstreamer0.10-gn I get the following error:
Couldn’t find package gstreamer0.10-gl
So, I’d like to think that all my issues (or at least some) rest with this missing gstreamer0.10-gl install. Can you help with this? I would appreciate it.
J.
@jonathan
actually on the step, you didn’t fully copied the commands, it was hidden because of the css. I change the css and you should be able to see them correctly now. So I think if you reinstall the packages, you should be good to go with your sounds
Thanks
Great guide! thank you so much for putting this together. I used it on top of 9.04 and it seems to have worked perfectly.
Dear friend Salimane,
I just want to tell you a big thank you. I installed on a 8Gb Sd card ubuntu 9.04 on a eeepc (900) and all went perfectly, then I followed all your suggestion wich worked flawlessly. Now I have a really powerful system on a small travel computer.
Thanx again.
Thank you….
1) After I installed Avast, how do I start Avast automatically when I turn on my PC?
2) Is there an anti-spyware software for Ubuntu 9.04 and hoe do I download it?
3) I have VLC media player and Mplayer. every time I watch Bloomberg TV, there is video, but no sound. How do I fix it?
4) Besides Bleachbit, is there a better application for Ubuntu 9.04 similar to CCleaner in Windows?
5) Besides Firestarter, is there a better firewall application for Ubuntu 9.04?
6) How do I remove/unistall an application such as Movieplayer?
I am new in Linux and really appreciate anyone who can help me. Many thanks
@Richie
1- by default avast start automatically
2- haven’t heard of one but if u found one please tell me
3- u should have sound by default , if not please check the vlc settings to see if u’re not messing up something there
4- i only know bleachbit…
5- Apart from firestarter, you have ufw and gufw…
6- To remove Movie Player, please type in a terminal :
sudo apt-get remove totem totem-gstreamer totem-plugins totem-common totem-mozilla

this error shows up when i try to update from update manager too..

Try
sudo apt-get -f install
If it doesn’t help , tryp to open sypnatic, there should be a “broken packages” section that you could select and remove the necessary packages if needs be

sudo apt-get-f install did not work.

It means another package management is running in the background, either you have sypnatic opened at the same time or u have automatic packages upgrade on that was running at the same time

I followed the guide to Expand the Software Repository List, and tried to add AVG 85flx, Version 8.5.287 to my Jaunty Linux. Although now it is listed in my Synaptic manager, it doesn’t show up on my system. If I try to uninstall it using Synaptic it says there is a broken package and an error 100. It won’t let me uninstall, reinstall, purge, or do anything. I simply want to remove the broken package. I have found the 5 files for avg: (cfgctl, ctl, dump, scan, update), in my usr/bin file and deleted them using root, but still the AVG 85flx, Version 8.5.287 remains in Synaptic. Other Linux Questions Senior members don’t seem to know how, and suggestions for removing AVG 75 don’t work.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
@Mic
Open “Sypnatic Package Manager” if there were some broken packages, it will show up in the sidebar, access that link and totally remove them
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. No, there is nothing showing in broken packages in the sidebar. When I try to uninstall the AVG it responds with: E: avg85flx: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 100. Let me know what else you need me to tell you what I’ve done. Respectfully…
Update: In Synaptic, when I click on INSTALLED or INSTALLED (LOCAL OR OBSOLETE) in the side panel, then AVG85flx is displayed. So it says it is installed, but won’t let me remove it per the message I sent in previous post. Thanks
@Mic
try to reinstall it. Then when it’s done go to sypnatic and “Mark for complete removal” -> apply
Hopefully it helps
Thanks
Another update: If I right click on AVG 85flx in Synaptic and go to Properties, then Dependencies, it says there is a conflict with avg71 and avg75. If I try to purge those two using sudo apt-get remove –purge avg71 (or 75), it tells me they aren’t installed.
It won’t let me reinstall, when I try to it says the reinstall was not successful because of an error.
my background is showing only BLACK when i activate visual effects……Help

Try to use default settings, restart, make sure everything is ok. Then install appropriate graphic drivers by going to “System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers”
Then activate visual effects, keep in mind you need a recent graphic card for visual effects to properly work
