Installing Ubuntu Studio Theme

1. Marcos Fri, 11 May 2007 10:39 pm

   Too bad theres no AMD64 package for those :S, or am I wrong?
2. mike Fri, 11 May 2007 10:41 pm

   I already did this before, but Ubuntustudio’s theme is just great.

   Just the notifications suck…
3. GooZ Fri, 11 May 2007 10:48 pm

   Thanks for the great tip!
4. Belutz Fri, 11 May 2007 11:06 pm

   @ Marcos
   I think you don’t need AMD64 packages just to install themes.
   But if you reffering to Ubuntu Studio for AMD64, the Ubuntu Studio developers said that it could be available in the future.

   Ok, now how do I fully uninstall it .
   GDM splash etc.
8. Belutz Sat, 12 May 2007 1:54 am

   @ turtleJP
   just do
   $ sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio-look
   or
   $ sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio-(what_you_installed)

   then change back your themes in System –> Preferences –> Themes
   and
   System –> Administration –> Login Window to change back your GDM theme

    Hello and thanks a lot for this! I had been trying to find a way to get ubuntustudio look.

    Anyway I encounter a problem after i enter this:
    $ wget http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key

    I then get:
    Cannot write to `ubuntustudio.gpg’ (Broken pipe).

    Any idea why this happens? Sorry I’m still a bit new to Ubuntu.
16. Belutz Sun, 13 May 2007 7:45 am

    @ Ant
    try to separate that command
    $ wget http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg

    after that

    $ sudo apt-key add ubuntustudio.gpg

    Hi, it seemed OK at first, but not all colors where correct, for instance the font color on the menu-bars. So I switched back to the default theme. But then it all froze, and I can’t get back into Gnome. Luckily I mainly use Fluxbox so I can use my computer, but does anyone know how to fix this?

    The only difference I did was that I used aptitude instead of apt-get, but I can’t understand that would make Gnome freeze.

    It’s good. i have installed it in my system. Think you.
51. Das Goat Sun, 10 Jun 2007 8:54 am

    The first method didn’t work because sudo apt-get update says:
    W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntustudio.org feisty Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A361B38AB6A4EB33
    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
    E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

    so it can’t get a key it is looking for. The second method, the package you have for down load, did work with one caviat:

    I use 64 bit, so I had to use the package manager to install gtk2-engines-murrine. then the other three installed. i was able to get the wallpaper up, but i can’t figure out how to get the theme it self to launch to change the icons. Can you give me a hint?
52. Belutz Sun, 10 Jun 2007 1:03 pm

    @ Das Goat
    For the 1st method, I think you skip the step 2 so it didn’t find the gpg key.
    For changing the icons, you can go to System -> Preferences -> Theme, and then click on Customize, you will see an “Icons” tab in there, select it and choose your desirable icons set.

Is there something else I need to do? I installed ubuntustudio-theme, ubuntustudio-wallpapers, and ubuntustudio-icon-theme.

    I installed successfully as per instructions, and no new theme in System->Preferences->Theme
    Though with some digging I noticed that I could change an existing theme to use elements of the Ubuntu Studio theme. This forces me to manually choose the colors and everything - defeating the purpose of themes.
    How do I get Ubuntu Studio to be a theme in the Themes list, rather than an option to customize an existing theme?

    With Ubuntu Studio-Gutsy our packages have moved into the Ubuntu proper repos. We encourage everyone to use those packages. We will be shutting down the repo mostly due to maintenance/bandwidth costs.
