Newly found skin for Ubuntu - bigsharn - 08-01-2011

Do you use Linux?
Are you secretly a wannabe Mac fanboy?
Is your nme Mark?

If the answer to any two of the above questions is "yes", I give you the guide on how to:

On Lucid Lynx

Code:
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/macbuntu/macbuntu-10.04/v2.2/Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz -O /tmp/Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz

tar xzvf /tmp/Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz -C /tmp

cd /tmp/Macbuntu-10.04/

./install.sh

On Maverick Meerkat

Code:
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/macbuntu/macbuntu-10.10/v2.3/Macbuntu-10.10.tar.gz -O /tmp/Macbuntu-10.10.tar.gz

tar xzvf /tmp/Macbuntu-10.10.tar.gz -C /tmp

cd /tmp/Macbuntu-10.10/

./install.sh

You have no idea what you've just told someone to do have you?

With Lucid Lynx being 10.04 and Maverick Meerkat being 10.10, let's go with 10.04 as that's what I use.

Code:
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/macbuntu/macbuntu-10.04/v2.2/Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz -O /tmp/Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz

wget is basically a tool used for downloading stuff mainly from *nix command line. So you'll be downloading Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz from sourceforge and saving it to the /tmp directory.
wget syntax: -O, --output-document=FILE write documents to FILE.

Code:
tar xzvf /tmp/Macbuntu-10.04.tar.gz -C /tmp

-z, --gzip, --gunzip, --ungzip filter the archive through gzip (Because of the .gz extension)
-x, --extract, --get extract files from an archive
-v, --verbose verbosely list files processed
-f, --file=ARCHIVE use archive file or device ARCHIVE (The location of the tar.gz'ed file after this command)
-C, --directory=DIR change to directory DIR (Puts the extracted files in to the /tmp directory)

Code:
cd /tmp/Macbuntu-10.04/

cd = change directory

Code:
./install.sh

.sh is a bash file, in this case an install script.

In this case the install.sh has no executable privileges either. If something in a temp folder could be executed it might as well be Windows.

I was thinking exactly the same..

RE: Newly found skin for Ubuntu - bigsharn - 09-01-2011

Saw it.
Thought of Mark.
Copypasta.
It WAS meant as a joke, but if it doesn't work...

I love using Ubuntu. It is so cool to see all the new skins in the way that people can customize the desktop. It is much better than Windows or Mac. I am working to setup a server like this. I just set up a box for my in-laws and they love it.
