Ubuntu Tweak
By Martin English | February 27, 2008
Although Ubuntu comes with excellent packages that help you alter the default settings and customize the distro for yourself, tweaking a few settings however requires you to go deeper into the system. Plus if you do something wrong, you’re probably going to end up making a mess of your Ubuntu installation. That’s where a program called Ubuntu Tweak, a small GUI based tool that lets you edit some hidden settings on your Ubuntu installation comes in.
Here’s how you can install it:
In the terminal, type:
- sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
In the file that opens, add the following lines to the end of the list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu gutsy main
Save the file, go back to the terminal, and type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
Once installed, you should see a ‘System Tools’ sub menu in your Gnome Menu List from where you can access Ubuntu Tweak.
