What if we can’t afford Macs, they’re not cheap! Ubuntu’s free!

[...] 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.

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.

I am getting the same errors installing AWN

I first run sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7D2C7A23BF810CD5D

Then I run sudo apt-get update which still says

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7D2C7A23BF810CD5
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Anyone find a solution to this yet?

Hey, nice tutorial

I have the same error as above with globalmenu and AWN. As well I don’t see the splashscreen when I do a bootup. But the old splashscreen works fine. So it must be something with the file.

I have Ubuntu 9.04.

Thanks in advance.

You should install global menu as root

try this for ubuntu 9.04
”
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

apt-get install gnome-globalmenu
“
