.Enigmatik Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 sudo aptitude install beryl sudo apt-get install art-manager sudo aptitude install emerald sudo apt-get install beryl-manager sudo apt-get install beryl-plugins sudo apt-get install emerald-themes sudo apt-get install heliodor Then go to gnome-look.org and search for themes you want.

Kreuger Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Why would you go back and forth between aptitude and apt-get? You can just use one. And you can get them all together too. sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager beryl-plugins art-manager emerald emerald-themes heliodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Enigmatik Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Because aptitude handles dependencies better, and therefor would possibly get rid of having to use a few more apt-gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eolo Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 What's your ubuntu distro? Do you have an ati or nividia video card? The best way it's to go smooth and see this tutorial first. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch00 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Because aptitude handles dependencies better, and therefor would possibly get rid of having to use a few more apt-gets. Oh my... Aptitude is a front-end to apt-get. It IS the same program, just like synaptic is a GUI front-end to apt-get, aptitude is an ncurses based front end. It will do exactly the same thing, one doesn't handle dependencies any better than the other. And the command Kreuger gave does the exact same thing and won't screw up anything, it's just a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperAFK Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Install beryl as noted above, plenty of vista themes on gnome-look, when you install beryl go to the settings manager> visual affects> blur I believe to enable the blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking because aptitude do much better IMO, e.g. aptitude seems to suggest me remove those packages I don't want anymore, and it complies with the dependency stricter, say kile will bring you the tetex, but I only use texlive and they conflict, so I worked around by installing kile in adept.

Kreuger Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Apt-get will also remove anything not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the apt-get man page. autoremove autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed. So, if you want to get rid of unnecessary packages: sudo apt-get autoremove If autoremove doesn't see that it's unneeded, you could probably still do an "apt-get remove *package name*" and it will remove it for you. Lesson learned: Always read your man pages. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminzsj Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I see. Thanks. But my question is about comparison between different implementation of apt-get. Does adept have this autoremove function, and how about synaptic? Apt-get isn't as user friendly as the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuger Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Synaptic does. I dont use Adept enough to know for sure but more than likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
