Solved ! : How To Update / Upgrade Light-Themes ( Ambiance - Radiance Theme ) In Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Updated Version Light-Themes Appears Perfectly In Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

When this post written, Ubuntu has released their newer releases : Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 and Precise Pangolin 12.04 alphas. But so many people are still comfort using “old” Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It is all about Unity and Gnome 3 issues which so many people feel discomfort and unsatisfied by both of Gnome Shell and Unity.

And so, many people still hold their Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on because of its so familiar and ultimate usable Gnome 2 desktop. MATE desktop has born as a reincarnation of the old Gnome 2 desktop, but it is still buggy and extremely unstable.

But, there is one interesting issue in the now hot UI issues in Linux Desktop : People really love Ubuntu Ambiance theme in Ubuntu Maverick and newer. It is very good-looking, sexy, but looks very professional and elegant. It feels like “The True Linux Desktop” and even now Ubuntu Ambiance has been ported into another Linux distros.

The problem is, Ambiance theme, which is released first in Ubuntu Lucid, looks ridiculous and fat, looks Grey and ugly in default Ubuntu Lucid Lynx desktop. So people want and have tried to install and upgrade the gtk2-engines-murrine from Maverick into Lucid but failed.

Apparently, we couldn't just install light-themes and gtk2-engines-murrine from the Maverick one into the Lucid system. We need to backport them, and happily, there is someone has backported it and now we could easily download and install those packages into our lovely Ubuntu Lucid Lynx desktop. (Horayyy!)

Installation

We could download them HERE, or HERE and install them manually by :

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1.

And the most used device to use broadband connection is USB Modem (GSM/CDMA), and one of the most used brands is Huawei, a world-recognized Chinese manufacture that focuses to produce great networking devices (modems, router etc).
