Ubuntu After Install

Submitted by The Fan Club on

Automated installation a lot of useful extra software on Ubuntu after the initial desktop install. 

This program installs a collection of some of the best Ubuntu software and can be considered to be one of the top things to do after installing Ubuntu.

Selecting and Installing all the extra software on a new Ubuntu computer can be time consuming. I wanted to automate the process on new machines as well as simplify the installation for new users. All comments and improvements are very welcome as this is purely a personal project at this point and must be considered a work in progress.

The Script will install the latest versions of all software listed below as well as add the required PPA's to keep the software up to date.

Extra Software Installed:

  • Ubuntu Restricted Extras video codecs and Flash Plugin
  • Medibuntu for DVD playback 
  • Gnome Tweak Tool / MyUnity / Unity Tweak Tool (Depending on Ubuntu version)

This is good. Currently I'm working on something similar for a fresh Debian install. My idea is to use an interface that can be displayed on the command line (no GTK) and instead of listing individual packages, listing categories that will install packages related to the catagories (audio/video production, office, scientific, gaming, programming, etc.). My plan is to reduce the need for the plethora of distros that seem to be flooding the 'Linuxsphere' by borrowing their lists of installed packages and including it in my script. Your script here reminded me of my current project except you make it where a person selects individual packages and mine makes it where a person selects categories of packages. Feel free to use some of my ideas because I will probably be using some of yours.

Hello All. Thanks for you program. One thing you should do with your software - firstly add all PPA's and then update the software center one time

It would be the better way to add all the ppa's first. The program evolved beyond the original "few" extra programs to many. Will follow you advice in a future release.

This is great idea! I see

This is great idea! I see automation in PPA management here. Almost perfect. But you can add option to users: 1) Package all debs needed for 1 app into 1 deb/another format. So, let users choose this bundled one and do offline installation. 2) If point 1 was succed, you can bundle all single deb into 1 single bundle, complete app. 3) Let users choose which one to use: default, my point 1, or my point 2. Just idea, Developer. This idea comes from no internet condition in my computer so I should go to another computer (internet cafe) and download manually one by one (bad for newbie). Thank you from Indonesia.

* FIX: Google Chrome can't be installed in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail (fresh install) for now because of a missing dependency: libudev0. Until Google fixes this, here's how to install the missing dependency so you can use Google Chrome (any version) in Ubuntu Raring.

* Ubuntu 13,04 users that have a problem with the installer try : sudo apt-get install software-properties-common , and run the installer again. For more information on this issue see : http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2013/04/how-to-fix-add-apt-repository-command.html . Will add this as dependency in future releases.

tengo un problema, al momento de instalar no se completo la instalacion y ahora no arranca auxilio, alguien que me pueda ayudar, tengo ubuntu 13.04 y soy nuevo en ubuntu...

No hay nada en la instalación

Submitted by The Fan Club on

No hay nada en la instalación que hará que el equipo no se inicie. Todos los programas son "extras". La instalación tarda mucho tiempo en completarse. Reinicie el equipo e intente de nuevo la instalación. También puede intentar lo siguiente en un terminal: "sudo apt-get -f install". Esto solucionará los problemas de instalación.

disculpa, no me explique bien
