Ubuntu:12.10 on Acer Aspire Revo R3610 @Dec 18, 2012 12:34:32 AM
I have just replaced the Hitachi 160GB 2.5" SATA disk with a Kingston 96GB 2.5" SSD.
Create a boot SDHC using a computer with network access to download the desktop ISO and an SDHC adapter. System Tools -> Administration -> Startup Disk Creator When booting the Revo, press F12 to select to boot from USB card reader. I dislike Unity:$ sudo apt-get install gnome Log-off, and at the log-on prompt select "Gnome clasic (no effects)" from the little splat-menu by your username, and log-on. I dislike the dark theme:System Tools -> System Settings -> Appearence And select Radiance as the Theme. I want propper scroll-bars:$ gsettings get com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode I want the day and date displayed in the indicator in the menu-bar:$ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-date Enable trim and disable writing atime to preserve SSD life:$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab And add the options discard and noatime to the partitions on the SSD, like this: UUID=22c6bea7-d2e6-49fe-8668-102170ebc58b / ext4 discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 Enable talking to old and insecure NAS server:$ sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf At the bottom of the [Global] section, add this: client lanman auth = yes Install Oracle Java 6$ sudo apt-get install git |
