Ubuntu 20.04
In My opinion, extra software that is needed for a good desktop is:
sudo apt-get install synaptic gdebi gparted gnome-tweak-tool ubuntu-restricted-extras keepassx keepass2 remmina simplescreenrecorder dash-to-dock
In a terminal run:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-mounts false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-apps-at-top false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-trash true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock unity-backlit-items true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action 'minimize'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface show-battery-percentage true
disable low disk space notification
start dconf-editor Go to key: org gnome settings-deamon plugins housekeeping
enter the path to ignore in the key ingore-paths between ' '
like this:'/media/example'
Prevent Network printers to be installed automatically
If Ubuntu gives popup messages about auto-adding “new” printers upon
connecting to a wired or WiFi network, try the configuration below.
Stop auto-add printer on network connect by editing /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf:
sudo nano /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf
BrowseRemoteProtocols none
Then restart CUPS from Terminal:
service cups restart
Fixing SD card not mounting issue
The access issue pops-up in Ubuntu because of not having the exFAT drivers. Installing those drivers should fix the issue.
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
After the installation is complete, insert the SD card, and open the “Files”. You should be able to access the contents now.
