Internet Explorer Could Not Be Installed

internet explorer could not be installed

How to install Ubuntu the way you've never done it before.

I will tell you from the very start. This is neither my idea, nor my realisation. But I like it so much that I decided to share it with the wider public.

Have you ever installed any GNU/Linux distribution? Have you ever installed Windows, say, 98? Have you noticed the difference? I think you know what I am talking about: the choice you have of installed components .
While Windows installer allows you to choose the components you want to install, of course to a certain degree, I have not seen any Linux installers so far which give you the same level of choice. Unfortunately, most Linux installers only allow you to copy the contents of a distribution ISO image to the hard drive. Then you can do whatever you want: uninstall, re-install or add components.
The reader and commenter of my blog under the nickname Psychorat decided to change the approach and created... the script. Yes, this is a script which guides you through selection of different components for Ubuntu, and then installs them.
You could watch the development of the script as Psychorat commented under the Debian XFCE review.
And now the results are published to the wider public.
So, what do you need? Internet connection, CD or USB stick and some time.

Here are your further steps:
Grab a mini.iso image from official Ubuntu mirror and install a basic system without any extra packages.
After the reboot you have to login and run these 3 commands at the terminal (if you can't see the login press CTRL-ALT-F1) :
$ wget http://www.fileden.com/files/2012/1/23/3253730//rmc011.sh
$ sudo chmod +x rmc011.sh
$ ./rmc011.sh

Here is a short video showing one of the beta-versions of the script in action:

How much of resources does take Ubuntu after Psychorat's script?
Here are data measured without extra software installed:
VersionDisk sizeMemory usage
KDE4-BASIC2.3GB300MB
MINT-MATE-BASIC2.0GB100MB
XUBUNTU-CUSTOM2.4GB100MB
XFCE-BASIC2.0GB70MB
LUBUNTU-CUSTOM1.9GB80MB
LXDE-BASIC1.7GB50MB
E17-BASIC1.6GB50MB

Psychorat also gives you some recommendations:
  • Enabling Sound : Unmute and raise the levels of the "Master" and "PCM" channels in your system audio mixer.
  • Chromium Browser : In "Preferences" > "Personal Stuff", change the "Appearance" option to "Use GTK+ Theme" to match your desktop theme.
And finally, here are some known issues:

GENERAL ISSUES


Unmute and raise the levels of "Master" and "PCM" channels in your system audio mixer
  • Some programs are icon-less.
This might happen in some naked core installations.Please install more icon themes from the package manager or internet.

KDE4-BASIC

  • Gtk apps look ugly and not integrated to Kde theme.
You have to change the default gtk widget style to "oxygen-gtk" in > System settings > Application appearance > Gtk+ appearance.
  • Gtk theme settings have no effect on gtk applications.
Kde uses .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 file to store the gtk settings but the applications are looking for .gtkrc-2.0 so you have to link .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 to .gtkrc-2.0 after the first login with this command : ln ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 ~/.gtkrc-2.0

XFCE-BASIC

  • Xfce panel Sound volume plugin.
You have to enter in the configuration at least once, in order to auto-set the alsa channel and work properly.

E17
E17-BASIC / E17-CORE

  • LXDM login manager problem : Annoying error message about wrong window manager.
You have to change the session to "Enlightenment" instead of "Default", at Lxdm login screen.

LUBUNTU-CUSTOM


  • The Obconf extension for Lxappearance removed because does not show previews. You can always change your windows theme with the Openbox configuration manager.
  • The gnome-alsamixer replaced with alsamixergui because of a lubuntu related bug that make it crash on start.(i know that alsamixergui is not "fit" to desktop theme, but its better than nothin' :) The other alternatives are not working either).

And now my question to you: how do you like it? Is it the first step to the future of Linux installers?

EDITED 31.01.2012:
After some research I found the screenshot which proves my point about option to choose the components of installed Winsows Operating System. Unfortunately, the latest version I could find the screenshots for is Windows 98, but it still proves my point, doesn't it?
