Installing Ubuntu Studio Theme

Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia editing/creation flavour of Ubuntu. It’s built for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphic enthusiast or professional. Because I don’t do audio, video and graphic editing or creation, so I didn’t install Ubuntu Studio. But from the screenshot, I really like the theme that is used by Ubuntu Studio. So I decide to install the theme into my Feisty Fawn.
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put this line:
deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main
2. Get the gpg for that repo
$ wget http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
3. Run
$ sudo apt-get update
4. If you want to install all the themes that is used in Ubuntu Studio, including gdm theme, wallpapers, icon theme, session splashes and gtk theme use this
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-look
I didn’t installed gdm theme and session splashes so i did this:
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-theme ubuntustudio-icon-theme ubuntustudio-wallpapers
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Here I attached a file that contains deb packages for ubuntustudio-theme, ubuntustudio-icon-theme, ubuntustudio-wallpapers and gtk2-engines-murrine (required by ubuntustudio-theme). For you who use Dapper or Edgy or maybe who use 64bit can try that file to install Ubuntu Studio theme.
UPDATE:
For you running Edgy Eft please use this gtk2-engines-murrine_0.30.2-1_i386.deb than the one provided in the file above. Thanks to ragingmon!
UPDATE (16 January 2008):
If you are using Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) the packages is already in the repository, so you can skip step number 1-3








Too bad theres no AMD64 package for those :S, or am I wrong?
I already did this before, but Ubuntustudio’s theme is just great.
Just the notifications suck…
Thanks for the great tip!
@ 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.
Thanks a lot for the post; this theme is slick!
tetep bagusan windows …. *kabooooorrrrr…..*
Ok, now how do I fully uninstall it
.
GDM splash etc.
@ 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

arrgghh gelap
Anyone tried this on Kubuntu?
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.
@ Ant
try to separate that command
$ wget http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg
after that
$ sudo apt-key add ubuntustudio.gpg
very thanks.
have u tried these tips for edgy?

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.

ok I’ve fixed it.. I’m using edgy..
download gtk2-engines-murrine_0.30.2-1_i386.deb here:
http://southernvaleslug.org/ubuntu/edgy-eft/murrine/
and I don’t like the Window Borders of Ubuntu Studio, some panels are not looking good. So I downloaded and intalled the Neutronium Theme..
download it here:
http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php/Neutronium?content=46153
@ ragingmon
thanks for the workaround. I can’t test it in Edgy because I don’t have a machine that running Edgy.
I’ll add the file for download. Thanks
your welcome!!!
[...] (Vía: Complicated Mind) [...]
@ragingmon
i don’t like the window heading/title of ubuntustudio (why is it colored blue??) so thanks for the suggesting Neutronium.
Thanks for the great theme
awesome, thx man looks awesome
It’s good. i have installed it in my system. Think you.
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?
@ 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.
Mmmm awesome I love it.

Im not really sure how to edit that line of code in step 1 could someone please give me very specific instructions
thanks,
joe

Hmm, I’m a little stuck.
I’ve followed the instructions (installed the separate packages, not not the whole ubuntustudio-look), but when I go to System -> Preferences -> Themes, I don’t see the Ubuntu Studio one there anywhere! Is there something else I need to do? I installed ubuntustudio-theme, ubuntustudio-wallpapers, and ubuntustudio-icon-theme.
Any help would be great! Thanks
Aha!
In case anybody else gets stuck, I simply customized a theme, choosing UbuntuStudio for the controls, icons, window borders, etc.
I really like this theme!
i tried doing that and i changed the login preferences to the studio theme and my computer freezes before reaching the logon screen after restart
Hey!
Heres a great theme I discovered on Gnome-look which gives you the vista glass effect over Gnome.
The configuration steps for Ubuntu are here:
http://abhishek-myspace.blogspot.com/2007/07/make-ubuntu-look-like-vista.html
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?
Thanks for the great tip! Awesome theme!

use these 2 commands if you get the same error:
sudo su -c ‘echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list’
wget -q http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add – && sudo apt-get update

Now the only step you need to do is 4. It worked with Gutsy.
Ubuntu Studio-Feisty repos will close on 10/28/07
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.

Adding the repos is no longer needed. Just run the apt-get for the packages listed above.

I am a noob when it comes to software. I bought a firewall…soft ware, that was from the uni I went to. And after that and a deep virus scan, I could no longer use ff or QQ messenger. I manually deleted them and downloaded them again, rebooted my mac a few times, but nothing is working. I keep getting a message that something needs to be done with my fire wall and HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP ports.
Any advice someone?
