Jaunty Ubuntu Netbook Remix via Apt

I’m not sold on the ubuntu netbook remix just yet. I want to keep my current desktop incase I get sick of it but the only way to install UNR under jaunty is via img.

  1. Edit Sources List:
    1. In terminal type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. add the jaunty repo, add these lines at the end of the file.
      1. deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu jaunty main
      2. deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu jaunty main
    3. Save file and exit.
  2. Install UNR
    1. In terminal type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install window-picker-applet go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus netbook-launcher

This is where most of the other, and many are there thousands, of instructions stop…here are the steps I took and some important notes.

  1. Use the desktop switcher to start UNR. Preferences –> Switch Desktop Mode.
  2. Add the go-home and window-picker applets to the top panel.
  3. Remove the applications, system and pretty much everything else from the top panel.

I did not want UNR to start at boot but if you do…

  1. Open Preferences –> Startup Applications
  2. Add netbook-launcher
    1. I don’t know if you need the full path…if you do can you please post it in the comments. Thanks.

Update:

during the dorpbox install the top panel “went way”…its a tech term…but once the daemon was configured everything worked again. Make sure you finish the entire install and setup your account.
