KDE and me are getting along

After a week Kubuntu(KDE version of Ubuntu) and I started to get along I can say that Kubuntu is better looking at default but you can’t configure it like Ubuntu(GNOME)..Just like when installing theme its pain in the ass you need always to ./configure it and ubuntu cant install it! (sometimes) While in GNOME just drag and drop the theme at the Theme manager and its installed! Especially GNOME only lost in default looks while KDE has a beutiful looks while in Default theme and GNOME sucks in that!…..One advantage of KDE is the Kmenu while GNOME has main menu which sucks! OOhh! and the KDM looks bad GDM is better…But well thats part of the migration to KDE..You’ll really miss something…

Disappointed with KDE

Now what I am disappointed using Kubuntu dapper after waiting for a hour it really look great at splash and bluish twinkling stuff but it isn’t enough I’de radder use GNOME than KDE the first I saw KDE I alsmost say wow this is amazing! but after a few minutes I saw stupid Kmenu and the KDE-panel which I always thought sucks…….The only difference between the two is….KDE looks like windows(What?!GNOME can do that!)I have slower startup(GNOME is faster)If something crash the whole desktop Crash(I never had this problem  in GNOME) Well my father like it that’s all if he like it that means he will use linux He hates GNOME(but I love it)

Now if you want to install KDE on Ubuntu just do this

Sudo apt-get  kubuntu-desktop

And thats the magical word…

GNOME rocks!

HOWTO: installing beryl ubuntu dapper AIGLX

We’ll I’ve install beryl on ubuntu…I just want to share my expierience to you guys

“Note: I think beryl is not yet supported by Dapper its not my fault if you’re system got mess up”

1. Add repositories

Edit the sources.list file:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add this line:

deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org dapper main

Make sure to get the public key for the repository:

wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Update the package list and upgrade your system before installing

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

2.Install AIGLX

Install the new X server (called xserver-xorg-air):

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-air-core linux-dri-modules-common linux-dri-modules-`uname -r`
linux-dri-modules-2.6.15-27-386 IS not up,needs to be fixed.

There’s a small glitch with xserver-xorg-air-core: it doesn’t install its own modules for input and video drivers. The workaround is to point to the Xorg modules instead:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ /usr/lib/xorg-air/modules/sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ /usr/lib/xorg-air/modules/

Modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf – maybe it is a good advice to make a copy before editing because in any problem, you might not be able to login again in the graphic session! So first, make a backup

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old

Edit xorg.conf:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in the Screen section:

DefaultDepth 24

Make sure these are all there, and GLcore is commented out:

Section “Module”
# Load “GLcore”
Load “i2c”
Load “bitmap”
Load “ddc”
Load “dbe”
Load “dri”
Load “extmod”
Load “freetype”
Load “glx”
Load “int10″
Load “type1″
Load “vbe”
EndSection

IF there is no Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps”. Add it:

Section “Device” ## no change
Identifier ##no change
Driver ##no change,whatever this reads is fine
Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps” ## add this line!!!!
BusID “PCI:0:2:0″ ##no chnge
EndSection

In the section: “Extensions”

Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Enable”
EndSection

and this:

Section “DRI”
Mode 0666
EndSection

gdm configuration is now deprecated, you can switch between Xorg and Xorg-air with update-alternative :

sudo update-alternatives –config Xorg

3.Installing Beryl

Simply type

sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes

4.Starting Beryl (and AIGLX)

You need first to start AIGLX. Just close all your windows, logout and press Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. That will stop and restart your X server. If the login screen doesn’t show up, try to reboot. If you still have some trouble, restore your backup copy (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.old). If the login screen shows up, cool! AIGLX is working. To start Beryl, type in a user session terminal :

beryl-manager

You’ll see an red jewel in your panel which helps you to manage beryl and the decorations. To start beryl at each session, go in Gnome Menu > System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs and add beryl-manager.
