Made a new installation of Xubuntu, that now looks fairly well Mintified. The boot screen is from Julia.
Generally, according to your notes in this thread, I did the following:
Code: Select all
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com julia-xfce main upstream import
deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com julia-xfce main upstream import
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com julia main upstream import
deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com julia main upstream import
Edited sources.list directly for best results.
Then
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get remove purge plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo xubuntu-artwork xubuntu-default-settings xubuntu-desktop xubuntu-docs xubuntu-gdm-theme xubuntu-icon-theme xubuntu-plymouth-theme xubuntu-wallpapers
followed by
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install mint-artwork-xfce mint-backgrounds-julia mint-icon-theme mint-themes-gtk mintconfig-xfce mintdesktop-xfce thunar-custom-actions-xfce thunar-shares-plugin vino-xfce xfcemint-default-settings thunar libthunar-vfs-1-2 mint-x-theme firefox-defaults-xfce grub2-theme-mint grub-common grub-pc libplymouth2 linuxmint-keyring mint-info-xfce mint-stylish-addon mintinstall mintbackup mintnanny mintupdate mintupload mintwelcome mintwifi plymouth plymouth-label plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text mint-x-icons
This required several attempts to complete. And a couple of # apt-get -f install to get to completion.
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install mint-meta-xfce mint-info-xfce
This ran into some problems.
Solved by adding the medibuntu repository due to dependencies. I used this mirror:
Code: Select all
deb http://mirrors.ucr.ac.cr/medibuntu/ maverick free non-free
then just to see, added:
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install mintmenu
which runs OK but isn't populated yet.
Moved all applets from panel 2 to panel 1 at top, removed panel 2 then moved panel 1 to bottom.
Now looks more minty. Everything is working. No breakage yet. Posting from Mintified Xubuntu.
Please advise any errors or missteps that you see and I'll update it.
Installed the following for myself via Synaptic: chromium-browser, htop, mc, xfce4-datetime-plugin.
Then removed the following via Synaptic which seemed duplicated: update-manager, update-manager-core, update-notifier.
regards,
Richard.
