Ubuntu 22.04

On these pages I will post special issues for Ubuntu 22.04

To run a good desktop, add these software:

sudo apt-get install synaptic gdebi gparted gnome-tweaks ubuntu-restricted-extras keepassx keepass2 remmina simplescreenrecorder dconf-editor gimp

This will install the microsoft truetype core fonts as well.

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

look for or add this item:

BrowseRemoteProtocols none

Then restart CUPS from Terminal:

service cups restart

Now you're intsalling using ppa's it's time to manage these ppa's:

Extra software that is needed to manage ppa is the y-ppa-manager.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager

Install DVD readability using this site

http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html

sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add this line:

deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /

save and close the file. Now in a terminal type:

wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg

The GNOME desktop can be reset using this command>

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/

GNOME extentions

To install GNOME extentions, just install: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager

Insync

Instal insync works OK now. There is a version for jammy available and the bugs that prevented Insync to work in jammy are now patched.

You still cannot use the jammy version, and the Impish version sometimes crashes. To install use this:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys ACCAF35C

sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/insync.list

and save the file. Now install insync using:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install insync

and now start insync from the dash. Sometimes the program won't show up. Insync is aware of this bug, but doesn't have a solution

You can also download a .deb file and have the installation done automatically. Go to their website to download the intslationfile.

Make a nicer desktop

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 true

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

Install Tixati to be able to handle bittorrent files a bit more sophisticated. It isn't in te repositorys so install it using a downloaded .deb.
