Building fails because you forgot to change this:

'themes/Gaia.tar.gz',
'themes/old.tar.gz',
'themes/minimalistic.tar.gz',
'themes/sunny-c.tar.gz',
'themes/new_theme.tar.gz', ]),



And as a result, I get:

System Tools (NOT OS or ROMS) by socialdefect 4 comments

Meta Backup should create 2 .deb files: firslty install a .deb that adds the PPAs and then install a second deb which has all your applications as dependencies. I didn't try it (as I need a second computer for that) but in theory it can't work using only one .deb for both of these operations. - Nov 12 2010

If you're talking about Roberto, we used different approaces. His package comes with only one optional package as a dependency (python-notify) while mine comes with all... because I like having all the features provided by the app. Also, he forgot to add the .desktop file.

The PPA also includes mediainfo packages btw. - Nov 04 2010

I've debianized WatchVideo so Ubuntu users can now easily install it by using the PPA or downloading the .deb files (but the .deb files will need some dependencies from the PPA so I suggest adding the PPA).

Ubuntu 10.04 Start script

Various Gnome Stuff by hotice 21 comments

The script was originally written in a completely different way. There are some more ugly parts in it but I didn't modify it because I don't have any time right now, I just implemented new features going around the original code. For example the way the Ubuntu repos are added was totally different in the beginning that's why the script deletes them and then checks to see if they already exist (obviously they can't exist because I delete them) but I would have to re-write too much and like I said I don't have time. And it works like it is now. If I'll have time, I'll re-write it for Maverick (and add more features of course). - May 06 2010
Ubuntu 10.04 Start script

Various Gnome Stuff by hotice 21 comments

I only knew some very basic bash commands before starting this script and used pure logic and google to implement what I wanted.

I improved some things on the way, as I learned them and they way I implemented the multiple languages was the only way I could think of at the time.

I would use your suggestion(s) but I don't understand how it works - May 06 2010
Ubuntu 10.04 Start script

Various Gnome Stuff by hotice 21 comments

The tone wasn't exactly constructive.

Here are reasons not to make a check for installed applications:

1. The script is called Ubuntu Start and it's meant to be ran when you first install Ubuntu so if you already installed those apps, you wouldn't need the script

2. There's no harm done if installing an application already installed

3. I had other stuff to do right now, I worked all night to release the new version in time for Ubuntu 10.04. So did the people who translated it (to 15 languages now I believe) - they all translated it in the last 24 hours which I find it to be simply amazing!

I did use checks for some important stuff like automount ntfs drives.


About Ailurus and Ubuntu Tweak: sure, you can use those and a couple more applications and Synaptic or a terminal to do all this. But that's a lot of applications and operations and TIME (which is why the script was designed - to reduce the time to do all these) which can be replaced by this script. Sure, you can use those later on, but this script would set up almost everything (based on common operations people do when they first install Ubuntu)

And finally, actually 90% of the features in this script are based on suggestions received in comments on my blog, so I do listen to all suggestions. - Apr 29 2010
Ubuntu 10.04 Start script

Various Gnome Stuff by hotice 21 comments

No it doesn't check if an app is installed or not because if it's installed already it can't do any harm.

But if you don't like the script, never mind, it's not for you, it's for everybody else :) as some people appreciate someone else's work (weird, ha?) - Apr 29 2010
