Topic: [Solved] Last minor issues with Ubuntu minimal install
I've done a minimal install of Ubuntu and I've set things up how I like them, but as always, I've got some minor issues which I haven't been able to solve.
I'll give you a list and hopefully with your help I can solve them:
Configuring and theming the xfce4-notifyd messages. I can't find a config file and I don't know where to make one. I found out I can change the theme with an automatically installed GUI - but where to get themes?
SOLVED! I installed volwheel using the latest package found on their website. Installed it correctly, but when I run volwheel I don't get the systemtray icon. When I run volwheel in terminal I get this message that is showed on bottom.
Solution: I didn't solve this issue, but found an alternative instead.SOLVED! My sound doesn't work. I ran alsamixer and unmuted the speakers, but still I got no sound. I haven't got the faintest idea on how to solve this.
Solution: Take a look here.SOLVED! I am currently dualbooting Ubuntu with Windows. On my HDD I have got one recovery partition and two Windows partitions (one for boot and one for rest). This gives me three Windows entries in grub - How can I edit the entries so I've got only one? (I'm using grub2)
Solution: Editing a file like 30_os-prober isn't going to do the trick. To remove these entries, I have to manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which isn't advised by the wiki page found here. I'll live with multiple entries.SOLVED! GDM currently looks very ugly. In #!, it's nicely themed. How can I theme my GDM? On the internet I found something telling me I had to put the theme in /usr/share/gdm/themes. Unfortunately this didn't work.
Solution: The newer version of GDM can't use themes made for the older version. If you want to configure the newer GDM (autologin, hello messages, background, GTK theme) use this little tool: gdm2setup
I hope you guys can help me sorting this out. When something got sorted, I'll make it bold and note the solution so others can benefit from it as well.
