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.
