概述

  • 这是一个非官方的Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft)指南。本指南与Ubuntu和Canonical有限公司无关。
  • 本指南可以在官方论坛进行讨论UbuntuGuide.org。敬请参与。
  • 如果您看到一个浅蓝色的框，那么意味着您必须在终端下（应用程序->附件->终端）执行这些命令，或按方框内所提示的内容按其他命令执行。
  • 您可以将这些命令复制、粘贴到终端以减少输入错误（右键单击那些命令->“复制”或者“粘贴”；您也可以使用Ctrl+C复制，以及Shift+Insert进行粘贴）。
  • “sudo”的意思是“superuser do”（超级用户执行的操作）。执行“sudo”后会提示“Password:”，请正确输入您的用户密码。
  • 如果您想了解任何命令的更多信息，仅仅需要用“man”指令来查看您的帮助手册。比如，“man sudo”将会显示sudo命令的相关手册。
  • 如果您觉得总是需要输入“apt-get”很烦人，请阅读#How to apt-get the easy way (Synaptic)
  • “apt-get”以及“wget”需要连接因特网才能安装、升级和下载程序。
  • 如果要下载某文件，请右键单击该链接->选择“链接另存为...”->并确保文件名和后缀名的正确性。
  • 如果您愿意帮助我们将Ubuntu翻译成您的语言或者在其他方面对Ubuntu提供帮助，请访问https://launchpad.net/
  • 愿“人道待人”的伟大精神与您同在...

如果您在使用64位系统，请将下文中的所有“i386”替换成“amd64”即可 HTML()

How to install Java Integrated Development Environment (Eclipse)

sudo apt-get install eclipse
  • By default Eclipse will use GNU's java instead of Sun's. This will make Eclipse run very slowly and crash from time to time. To solve this problem, we will use Sun's JVM.
  • Install Sun JRE:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-bin sun-java5-fonts
  • Make Sun's JVM default:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
  • Choose the line that says
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java.
  • Edit the JVM Configuration file:
gksudo gedit /etc/jvm

# This file defines the default system JVM search order. Each
# JVM should list their JAVA_HOME compatible directory in this file.
# The default system JVM is the first one available from top to
# bottom.
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun
/usr
  • Next, we need to tell Eclipse to use this JVM as well. This can be done on systemlevel or userlevel.
  • System:
gksudo gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home

# This file determines the search order the Eclipse Platform uses to find a
# compatible JAVA_HOME. This setting may be overridden on a per-user basis by
# altering the JAVA_HOME setting in ~/.eclipse/eclipserc.

How to install Windows Applications in Linux (Wine)

Wine Is Not an Emulator. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. In other words, Wine will let you run Windows applications in Linux.

  • First, add repository for Wine:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Add the following lines at the end of this file
# Repository for wine
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
  • Save the edited file
sudo apt-get update

#
# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the

# automatically update with the new configuration.  Not all configuration
# options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
#
# To hand-edit this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in
# the appropriate section in the template below.  Refer to the comments in the
# gdm.conf file for information about each option.  Also refer to the reference
# documentation.
#
# If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you should run the following

# programs will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"

# For example, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be specified by
# "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings.  You can also restart GDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon.  HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Prepare and update repositories
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Add quinstorms' and reggaemanus' repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/ dapper main
deb http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main
deb-src http://xgl.compiz.info/ dapper main
  • Download and import the gpg key for quinnstorms repository
wget http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/quinn.key.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -
  • Update your sources
sudo apt-get update
  • Install needed packages
sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl libgl1-mesa xserver-xorg libglitz-glx1 beryl beryl-core beryl-manager beryl-plugins beryl-plugins-data beryl-settings emerald emerald-themes
  • Make a startup script for xgl
sudo gedit /usr/bin/startxgl.sh
  • Add to script
Xgl -fullscreen :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer & sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:1
# Start GNOME
exec gnome-session
  • Make the script executable
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/startxgl.sh
  • Make a xgl session for the login manager
sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop
  • Add to session
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XGl
Exec=/usr/bin/startxgl.sh
Icon=
Type=Application
  • add
beryl
emerald

to gnome session startup programs. ( go to system , preferences , sessions and select the startup programs tab )

  • Reboot
  • In the login manager you can now choose a session named Xgl
  • Answer to following question that you want to use Xgl for this session only (if something went wrong you are logged in next time using standard session)
  • If everything works fine , you can set it as the default session , remember you can always login a normal gnome session if you want.
  • If you own an x series radeon and have problems with lockups, read this post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150854 Note for all cards: glxinfo will show that direct rendering is not working , dont worry thats normal when you are running xgl.

How to install Beryl/AIGLX (Intel i915)

Follow the how-to on beryl project wiki. If that does not work, check if you have direct rendering enabled (type into the terminal): 

glxinfo | grep direct

The output should be: 

direct rendering: Yes

If the output says No, check you have direct rendering manager loaded: 

lsmod|grep 915

The output should be: 

i915   21632  3
drm    74644  4 i915
tsdev   9152  0

If it shows only tsdev line, you can try to configure xorg.conf to driver i810, restart, CTRL-ALT-F1 to terminal session and configure xorg.conf back to use i915. That helped me.

Activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox

Just add two lines to xorg.conf will activate side-mouse-buttons in FireFox. This should work with most 5-button mouse. Here is a list of mice that worked with this instruction.

  • Logitech MX510
  • Logitech MX518
  • Logitech MX700
  • Intellimouse Explorer (first edition)

Backup Gnome configuration file 

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

Modify the Gnome configuration file 

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find the Input Device section for your mouse and add two lines as shown below. You may also increase the number of buttons if your mouse has more than 7, just fix the rest of the section based upon the number of buttons (remember back/forward, wheel click & tilt left/right all count as buttons) Change: 

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
...
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
...
Option "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
EndSection

to: 

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
...
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
...
Option "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

At this point you can reboot your computer or reboot Gnome (Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace) to see if your forward/back buttons work in FireFox. They still won't work in Nautilus yet until you install the imwheel dameon.

How to setup pivot (screen rotation) with default X.org NVIDIA drivers

  • Some LCD monitors are equipped with the pivot feature, to take advantage of it the display has to be rotated 90 degrees. The default nVidia drivers shipped with X.org ("nv") support software screen rotation. Note that it's unaccelerated and can be slow, read #How to install Graphics Driver (NVIDIA) if you decide to install the proprietary driver.
  • To rotate the screen find the "Device" section for the "nv" driver in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Section "Device"
Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver          "nv"
  • Add the following options to this section:
Option "Rotate" "CW"

Where the "Rotate" option has two possible values (depending on the orientation of the monitor):

  1. CW - rotate the display clockwise (right). HTML()

    How to setup pivot (screen rotation) with proprietary NVIDIA drivers

    • Some LCD monitors are equipped with the pivot feature, to take advantage of it the display has to be rotated 90 degrees. The proprietary nVidia drivers support hardware rotation with the Xrandr extension.
    • To enable rotation support find the "Device" section for the "nvidia" driver in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
    Section "Device"
Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver          "nvidia"
    • Add the following option to this section:
    Option          "RandRRotation" "on"
    • Then the display can be rotated (direction depends on the orientation of the monitor) by:
    • Setting the "Rotation" property to either "Left" or "Right" in the "System > Preferences > Screen Resolution" dialog.
    • Issuing either "xrandr -o left" or "xrandr -o right" command.

    How to Correct the Graphics Resolution (Intel)

    • Intel 915g, 945g, etc. graphics chipsets only have a limited set of resolutions initially installed, despite the correct driver being detected.
    • Install the resolution altering tool:
    sudo apt-get install 915resolution
    • Run the following to see the availible modes:
    915resolution -l
    • Choose a resolution you don't need and replace, for example the following changes 1920x1440 to 1920x1200
    915resolution 5c 1920 1200
    • This should add the option for that resolution to the "System>Preferences>Screen Resolution" tool.
    • If it works correctly then you can make the change permanent:
    sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
    • Simply add the command you typed in above before:
    exit 0

    How to monitor CPU, GPU temperatures, fan speeds and voltages (GKrellM)

    • Install hddtemp first to monitor hard drive temperatures
    sudo apt-get install hddtemp

    GKrellM is a hardware monitor that can display CPU and GPU temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, CPU load, network load, disk activity, disk temperature, memory usage, and swap usage. The installation is very easy, and configuration is just a few mouse-clicks. You can set alerts to warn you if the CPU is too hot or there is a fan failure. The hddtemp utility works with GKrellM to allow it to sense the disk temperature, as keeping your disks cool (e.g. less than around 40C) will allow them to last longer than if they run continually at higher temperatures (e.g. above 50C). 

    sudo apt-get install gkrellm

    To run the program 

    Click Applications -> System Tools -> GKrellM

    To configure the settings, 

    Right click on GKrellM -> Configuration

    I was struggling with lm_sensors before, but it doesn't detect all of the sensors on my computer. Later I found "GKrellM". It displays the GPU temperature on my nVidia 6600 GT out of the box. GKrellM also has plugins that show weather info, set reminders, etc. Add an audio alert (optional Step): Here is how to play an audio message when the CPU is too hot or a fan fails. First you need to find or record your own audio alert files. (I use Audacity to record my own.) Then go to: 

    Configuration -> Builtins folder (Left side)-> Sensors -> Temperatures folder (Right side)-> CPU -> Alerts Button

    Paste ONE of the following lines into a Terminal window first to test the sound. If you have two sound cards, you can use "-ao oss:/dev/dsp1" option to route the sound to the second sound card. Modify the file path and name so it points to the correct file. If you can hear the sound, then copy that line to a command line text field on the GKrellM's Alerts window. 

    mplayer /home/myfolder/alert_messages/heat_alert.mp3
mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp1 /home/myfolder/alert_messages/heat_alert.mp3

    How to install Windows Wireless Drivers (Ndiswrapper)

    • In order to install ndiswrapper you need a copy the windows drivers for your Wireless ethernet device.
    • Find out if you have acx module loaded. Because acx module interferes with windows driver, we need to remove it if it is found.
    lsmod | grep acx
    • Remove the acx module if found. It could also be acx_pci or similar. Please Note: New kernel updates will auto load the acx module again. So repeat the following two commands every time the kernel is updated.
    sudo rmmod acx
sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx /root/
    • Install ndiswrapper and drivers (due to a bug in Edgy, you need to specify ndiswrapper-utils-1.8)
    sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
sudo ndiswrapper -i /location_of_your_wireless_driver/your_driver.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -l
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
    • Set ndiswrapper to load on startup
    sudo ndiswrapper -m
gksudo gedit /etc/modules
    • Add the following module to the list
    ndiswrapper
    • Now you can configure your wireless card with ifconfig and iwconfig.

    e.g. Supposing wlan0 is your wireless device. 

    sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "AP" key ababababababababab mode Managed
iwconfig
    • You sould now be able to see the MAC address of the access point and signal rate.

    Ndiswrapper for Broadcom 43xx wireless chipset

    • The Broadcom 43xx (bcm43xx) wireless chipset is one of the most common chipsets, so special scripts have been written for it.
    • Only follow this if you have a bcm43xx device. To check in the Terminal type:
    lspci | grep Broadcom\ Corporation

    If it displays a line similar to this, 

    0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

    you have a Broadcom wireless chipset. Please proceed with the instructions.

    • Put the Ubuntu CD that you installed Ubuntu with in the CD drive.
    • Download this to the desktop (the Firefox default, so if you haven't changed it, that's where it went/will go).
    • In a terminal type
    cd ~/Desktop (or wherever you downloaded the file)
tar -xf bcm4318*.tar.gz
sudo ./ndiswrapper_setup

    Your wireless chipset should now work. Try rebooting if you have problems. Please see this thread if you have problems: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=install+ndiswrapper

    How to enable WPA with Ndiswrapper driver

    • First, make sure the Ndiswrapper driver works by itself without encryption.
    • Create a file called /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, and paste in the following. Modify the ssid and psk values.
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="YourWiFiSSID"
psk="YourWiFiPassword"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=TKIP
}
    • Test it. Make sure your router is broadcasting its SSID.
    sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
    • If you WPA works. Load it automatically when you reboot.
    gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
    • Change your wlan0 section to the following.

    If you are using static IP: 

    auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant

    or this, if you are using dhcp. 

    auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
    • Reboot

    How to install a Wacom tablet

    For a detailed guide with screenshots about how to configure the "Extended input devices" in your graphic applications, please follow the official Dapper guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com//Wacom With the version of the Linux Wacom driver (0.7.2) in Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, if you unplug you tablet, it won't function when you plug it back in and you will have to restart X. For this reason, it is best to leave the tablet plugged in. This limitation will be removed when the 0.7.4 version of the driver is included in Ubuntu.

    • 1. Using Synaptic package manager, check if the packages xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools are already installed - if not, install them. If you prefer using the command line, you can also execute :
    sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools
    • 2. Save a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
    • then edit it with the command line :
    gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    • and change all /dev/wacom occurences into /dev/input/wacom (created by wacom-tools udev scripts), then save the file.
    • You should be ready to go after you have restarted X. Remember to configure the "Extended input devices" in your graphic applications (Gimp, Inkscape), however you can already check if it's working by moving your stylus on the tablet : the mouse cursor should go through the whole screen.

    • This should work for both Multicore systems and SMP systems
      • 这对多核心系统和SMP系统都有效
    sudo apt-get install linux-686-smp
    • You can check that this works by running the following and seeing two CPUs listed
      • 您可以通过运行如下命令检查是否起效，可见两个CPU被列出
