TWEAK UTIL ON HOLD

Hello everyone. As fate would have it, I have put on hold the development of the tweak util for the X3100.

This util was meant to edit the registry settings, implementing the steps outlined on the "Advanced Tweaks" method without anyone having to mess around with Regedit itself and putting their systems at risk.

However, I have recently gotten a lot of work which limits the time available for me to continue development. In addition to that, I have been assigned away from my main comp which I use for programming, company-provided comp is not up to the job.

Rest assured I will continue work on this as soon as time permits. There are a lot of X3100 owners out there and I really want to help them maximize the gear they purchased.

Thanks for understanding.

Ubuntu Tweak 0 5 5 Released

A new version of Ubuntu Tweak has been released today: 0.5.5. Theres no official announcement yet, but the new version is now available in the Ubuntu Tweak stable PPA.

Looking and the BZR changelog, theres only one new major feature in Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.5:PPA Purge (which was also available in the WebUpd8 PPA by the way), which you can now use from within Ubuntu Tweak.

PPA Purge can remove a PPA and downgrade all the packages youve installed from that PPA to the official version in the Ubuntu repositories. An example: suppose you add the c-korn/vlc PPA and install VLC 1.1.1 but you want to go back to VLC 1.0.6 which is available in the Ubuntu official repositories. Using PPA Purge, the c-korn/vlc PPA will be removed and VLC 1.1.1 will be downgraded to version 1.0.6 (theres one catch though: make sure you dont have any other PPAs with VLC 1.1.1 or 1.1.0 and so on).

PPA Purge can be found in Ubuntu Tweak under Applications > Package Cleaner.

Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.5 also brings support for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and also, itcan now detect if youre using Ubuntu Netbook Edition or Lubuntu.

Install Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.5:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

Note: The Ubuntu Tweak "About" dialog currently says "0.5.4.1" instead of "0.5.5". Thats a display bug, if you have the Ubuntu Tweak PPA added and upgrade, youll have version 0.5.5.

Tweaking Ubuntu 8 04 Hardy Heron with Ubuntu Tweak

A few days back i discovered a really neat tool called Ubuntu-Tweak which allows one to tweak Ubuntu easily using wizard based approach and easy to use attractive interface, which otherwise might take a number of cryptic commands and modification to config file to do . The tool basically allows one to tweak a number of things in Gnome running on Ubuntu which is difficult to do otherwise.

Some of the features of Ubuntu-Tweak includes (taken from Ubuntu-Tweak website ):
Features of Ubuntu Tweak

* View of Basic System Information(Distribution, Kernel, CPU, Memory, etc.)
* GNOME Session Control
* Auto Start Program Control
* Show/Hide and Change Splash screen
* Show/Hide desktop icons or Mounted Volumes
* Show/Hide/Rename Computer, Home, Trash icon or Network icon
* Tweak Metacity Window Manager�s Style and Behavior
* Compiz Fusion settings, Screen Edge Settings, Window Effects Settings, Menu Effect Settins
* GNOME Panel Settings
* Nautilus Settings
* Advanced Power Management Settings
* System Security Settings

With Ubuntu-Tweak 0.3 there is additional feature of assigning applications/actions to short cut keys too :) .

So here are the instructions on how to install Ubuntu-Tweak on your Ubuntu 8.04 Installation :

Open up the terminal window(Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) and type in the following command :

First we add repository where Ubuntu-Tweak is located with the following commands

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

and

echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

After this we actually install Ubuntu-Tweak with the following commands

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

After issuing the above command Ubuntu-Tweak should be properly installed and you could launch it from (Applications -> System Tools -> Ubuntu Tweak )

Ubuntu Tweak An easy way to customise Ubuntu

Ive known about Ubuntu Tweak for a white, but I never really used it. To be honest, I dont know why: its an incredibly useful tool that saves hours of time searching for a terminal command of system file. Its beginner friendly too, with a graphical interface that is well designed, making it accessible to any user.
Tweak runs under standard privileges, so you shouldnt accidentally do something you didnt mean to and find your computer is broken.

• Search popular applications
• Update Ubuntu
• Change the login screen
• Basic configuration of Compiz and title bars
• Manage desktop icons
• Change power settings

Theres a whole load of other options too, but its your preference that will decide whether to use them or not!

Ubuntu Tweak 0 6 beta Review

To be honest, just like with most others whove been using GNU/Linux for some time now, I had it quite rough with GNU/Linux. I started with RedHat Linux and had to figure out how to compile and install applications, didnt have a broadband Internet connection thus I manually downloaded the source code from else where and after or while doing the "./configure", bugger used to give me "dependency" errors about which I had no clue what the heck was that all about at that time, etc. So learning GNU/Linux wasnt the most enjoyable task.

But in a way Im glad that it happened that way. Because I love computers and it taught me a lot. But most of my friends who didnt (still dont :D) care about OS and whether its free or not... they just wanted to something to watch a movie and play few games thus no one made their peace with GNU/Linux :. So from their point of view, having the ability to customize the OS "here and there" easily does make a difference. 

In that sense for all ya non-geeks whos leaning Ubuntu Linux from scratch and if already a bit frustrated with the Gnome (Unity included) desktops lack of customization features and thinking how nice it would be if theres a utility not necessarily lets you access a huge list of options but gives you the ability to sneak-peak into some useful tweaks... then Ubuntu Tweak is certainly one of the best!.


The last time I tried it was about few months ago. And few days ago the developer announced the availability of the Ubuntu Tweak 0.6 Beta which brings a lot of new changes (specially concerning the UI). And after using it for a while it really impressed me and I thought that I should brag about a bit :P.

*. As said before if youve used it in the past then youd remember the options were located to the left side of the screen and the "sub options" were located on the right side. But with the 0.6 beta version the "tabs" have been moved into the top center of the UI and their options are reveled right under them which is pretty cool implementation in my opinion.


*. Overview Tab: This is sort of the "welcome screen" and give you an overview of your Ubuntu computer. Things like your basic hardware details, OS version, tips such as how much you could gain by removing the cache files, whether your system is up to date or not, etc.

*. Tweaks Tab: This contains some additional tweaks per few popular individual application that you can edit manually using the Gconf-editor. But since the UT has implemented things more graphically... if you want to edit things like


1. Log-in settings: Enable/disable play sound at log-in, Disable user list in GDM, change screen logo and background.

2. Change Session settings: Such as disabling, reboot, shutdown, log-out buttons and changing the window manager/file manager + Panel settings.

3. Few Gnome desktop related settings: Change the desktop menu icon, enable panel animations, disable "history" list, etc.

4. Nautilus file manager settings: Show advanced permissions on file/folder properties, display location entry instead of path-bar and few thumbnail related tweaks.


5. Few Metacity Related settings: Run Metacity as the compositing manager, enable/disable transparency, change the button layout and location, etc.

And few other Compiz, security, power manager and few "workarounds" are also there.

*. Admins Tab: You can use this tab to access few administrative options such as taking "desktop" backups (very useful), edit default folder location/layout, repository source editor, file mime-editor but the "shortcut commands" doesnt work at this moment (guess its still under development).


*. Janitor: Although Ubuntu has a Janitor app of its own which is know to cause problems after using (errrrr :D) but Ubuntu Tweak lets you things like: Clean the Nautilus Thumbnail cache, remove PPA from the synaptic list and remove apt-get cache (+ few other cache related settings).


And if you want more tweaks then you can easily install them using the "Preferences" window too. On the main window to the right-side UT also displays a list of your recently used tweaks as well.


You can install Ubuntu Tweak 0.6 (beta) in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and 11.10 by using its testing PPA channel. To do that, use the below commands in your Terminal window.

    sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:tualatrix/next
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

I tested it on Ubuntu 11.04 and worked without any issues. But the 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot support at the moment is not as good as with 11.04 according to the developers. Anyhow, just remember, Ubuntu Tweak is still at its beta stage thus I dont recommend anyone to use it in their "serious computer" :).

But if you wanna give a try at this excellent, all in one type Ubuntu Customizer, then even though the UT 0.6 is still at its beta stage if you want to access few additional tweaks of individual apps and the OS core files, then it looks awesome (say goodbye to learning Linux, just kidding! :D).
