Just downloaded ubuntu, how do you linux fags deal with this shit. Installing java is like hacking into the Pentagon and it craps out everything I try to change a theme
You're supposed to write your own java module, retard.
apt-get install openjdk-7-jre -y
so hard :3

Pentagon penetration detected
I use Trisquel and I think it came with OpenJDK installed. Honestly, aside from package manager APT being garbage and the kernel panicking for no reason sometimes, it's pretty nice.
>>52001558sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
Don't get me started on how much fun adding path to jave to system path is on Windows. As far as the theme goes, thank Gnome devs for that. Grab Numix or Vertex or Advaita I guess, those work as they should.

derp, long day...
>>52001558
Get out, you are too retarded for this board.
unity tweak tool
i like the radiance theme but the font of unfocused windows looks way too crappy
>>52001714
You can change the font with unity tweak tool.sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

No OP, that is just how Ubuntu is. Pick up a copy of arch or gentoo
>>52002514
Shit*
>>52001558
My phone runs Ubuntu touch
Just to add a custom ringtone you need to open the terminal and write the code to copy and paste the file to the appropriate directory
>>52001582
>Have to look up the names of packages in order to install them
Wow so much better than just downloading a self-extracting package from the software's downloads page...
>>52003322
some other distros can do$ search java
and see instant output of available packages
apt prolly does that too but idk apt
Is there any specific reason you chose ubuntu as opposed to xubuntu or kubuntu?
>>52003465
I'd use xubuntu. was always my fav. easy to change layout etc as well.
>>52003412
sudo apt-cache search java
>>52001652
Yeah. Really hard. Like 5 clicks hard.

Purge unity
Install mate or gnome
>>52003322
You do understand that ubuntu have bash-completion enabled by default, if you wanna "guess" or you can, you know, just use apt-cache search? Don't bother answering, download another self-extracting package, if that is what you want. Don't forget to install in somewhere not in /opt and /usr/local, and have a nice day.
>>52003322
>from the software's downloads page
This is basically the same as looking up package names
You could argue that having to go through download mirrors where you have to solve captchas and wait a minute to download your "e z self installing" program is more of a hassle than just looking it up the package name and type in a simple command in the terminal and look at it go
Linux is only actually good for servers.
Its not daily normie use OS, stop thibking that and just get Wangows

Holly shit man!
>>52003642
open ~/.bashrc file
addexport PATH=$PATH:"somethingat the end of it
tell me how it's easier than that in windows. Just to find where to modify the path isn't intuitive
>>52003558
apt search java
it's faster
or you can also
aptitude search java
both are better than apt-cache apt-get
>>52001558

that's your first problem

My fucking sides one line of command

you wot m8 ?
>>52001619
I tried to install Trisquel on my thinkpad once, you can't get the wireless working if you're on propitiatory shit can you?
>>52006000
Alright, but you probably should write
apt search java | more
>>52006121
why not less ?
>>52005769
>Its not daily normie use OS
Yes it is, it is GREAT for daily normie use. it is the perfect OS for old grannies and people who just surf the internet, read email and write a doc now and then. Much easier, less hassle, near no chance of any viruses or messing up, no forced updates and so on. it is better to use than Apple or Windows for normies who don't game, use CAD software or Adobe.
>>52001652
so hard
>>52006201
matter of taste really, you can use less
>>52003322
>>What is synaptic?
>>52001558
>>52003642
>Yeah. Really hard. Like 5 clicks hard.
Apparently 3 clicks are already too hard for you.
>>52001558
>>52003322
>>Being this retarded
Synaptic, you uncultured fags
>>52003642
>>52006209
this is worse than plaintext configuration, you gain *absolutely nothing* from stuffing this into a GUI.
>>52001558
do you even lurk /g/?
Nobody here recommends Ubuntu. You have to go for the other *buntus (ideally Kubuntu) or Mint.
If you don't want to learn and just want to be a faggot go for Elementary.
Faggot.
>>52006401
Whoa there, that's three clicks and four keyboard presses. You're overestimating OP's abilities here.
>>52006581
actually i don't lurk /g/ (not OP either)
why does /g/ dislike ubuntu? unity? the amazon spyware thing?
>>52009606
that mostly.
but ubuntu is also disliked by a lot of people because it tends to separate itself from the rest of the linux world. think of upstart, Mir and Unity.
>>52003558

>>52006208
This. I use all three(wangblows, os x, and lincucks) and if it weren't for gaymin I'd use xubuntu full time
