It’s only to Ubuntu, in Fedora not cool. The commands are different.

Thanks for the answer!

I was finally able to make it work, I have the systems->preferences->appearance->visual_effects settings on NONE, put that to NORMAL and ubuntu automatically downloaded and installed the driver for my 3d video card… isn’t that great?… Restarted PC and VOILA! Looking good!
Finally put the visual effects to EXTRA and is running smoothly!

[...] la Mac es bastante atractivo visualmente. Y aunque nunca instalaría OSX en mi PC, en el site MakeTechEasier, encontré la forma como poder tener el mismo look-and-feel del escritorio OSX en mi Ubuntu. [...]

That sounds quite good.
But i have activated the automatic login.
So, where and how do i say Ubuntu which user to login?
Do i have to start the recovery mode with shell?
I would rather enjoy if you could help me this time again.
greetings

I locked in as a different user and deleted globalmenu with synaptics. Then it worked again.

Hi
I just followed your instruction untill the “global menu applet”. I activated it and did a restart.
Now my system is booting like this:
- Mousearrow appears
- the upper panel appears
- wallpaper appears
- the upper panel is blinking slowly like its in a neverending circuit

I have no chance to get the panel-otions-menu, no chance to get anything.
Do you know any solution for my killed system?

bytheway: you did a great job

Hi could you tell me, how you recovered your system please.

By: Degreez

Degreez — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:10:22 +0000

Hallo.
I do have a big poblem now. I follow your instruction untill the “global menu applet”. I activated it and restarted the system.
When i boot now the upper panel appears and is blinking slowly (like in a neverending circuit) and that was it. No chance to control anything.
Do you know any solution. I dont want to reinstall now.
By the way: great job.
I will buy an apple soon, but i want the look now :-)

Hey, at the end I could install AWN by installing it via synaptic.

Splashscreen and globalmenu is still not working. With globalmenu I nearly broke my linux. Now I use Ubuntu 9.10.

Thanks in advance.
