Ubuntu 10.04
I’ve installed the beta of Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. It runs very nice but does take some extra customizing (besides ditching the superdark theme) with gconf-editor.
Fix the awful Mac-style button layout:
Apps -> Metacity -> General -> button_layout = menu:minimize,maximize,close
Remove the 60sec shutdown warning:
Apps -> Indicator-Session -> supress_logout_shutdown_restart
Show paths in file browser:
Apps -> Nautilus -> General -> always_use_location_entry
Restore Home and Trash icons to desktop:
Apps -> Nautilus -> Desktop -> show_home && show_trash
And for good measure, set the workgroup:
System -> SMB -> workgroup = "MSHOME"
I understand the reasoning, I guess. I just wish I didn’t have to spend an afternoon on google finding ways to restore the settings I use now. Maybe a “Classic Ubuntu Desktop” or “Super Awesome Desktop” checkbox somewhere?
