Tips:Customize the Gnome desktop panel Ubuntu

The default Ubuntu desktop is configured with two “panels”, one each at the top and bottom of the desktop. These ubuntu panels contain various “applets” such as the system menu, the clock, the logout button, or the list of open applications (what Windows calls the taskbar). Fortunately, unlike Windows, the desktop’s panels can be fully customized. This tip describes some of the common operations you might perform to customize the appearance and functionality of your desktop panels.
Add a new “applet”: New features can be added to your panel by right clicking on an empty area of the panel, and choosing “Add to Panel” in the resulting popup menu. A new utility window will appear, allowing you to select from all the features available. Note, the same “applet” can be added multiple times if needed.
Removing applets: All panel applets can be removed by right clicking on them, and choosing “Remove from Panel”. You can remove everything so that you only have empty panels left.
Rearrange applets: All applets can also be placed wherever the user pleases, a feature not found on either Windows or Mac OS X. To “move” an applet, first check that it is not “locked” to it’s position. This can be done by right clicking on the applet and ensuring that the “Lock to Panel” checkbox is unchecked.

There are two ways to actually position an unlocked applet. The first is to use the same right-click menu and choose “Move”. The mouse cursor will change to indicate that you are now to move your mouse to the desired position for the applet. Move your mouse to where you want the applet located, and then click the left mouse button to place it. The second way to perform the move is to drag and drop with with the middle mouse button (on many modern mice, this means pressing the scroll wheel in, down towards the surface).

Note that applets can be moved from one panel to another. Just move your mouse to the other panel during the move operation.
Create or destroy entire panels: Entire panels can be removed altogether. Just right click on an empty part of the panel and choose “Delete this panel”. Likewise, from the same menu, a new panel can be created by choosing the “New Panel” option in the same menu.
Moving a panel: An entire panel itself can be moved to different corners of the screen (or on to a different screen if you have a multiple screen configuration). Just use the left mouse button to drag and drop a panel to a new position (start the drag in an empty part of the panel).
Advanced options: Each panel can has more advanced settings which can be accessed by right clicking on an empty space in the panel, and choosing “Properties”.

Create Ubuntu 8.10 Live USB


To create a Ubuntu Live USB is not very easy that before 8.10. To response to the huge requests of Ubuntu Live USB, the developers write a program in Python to create a Ubuntu Live USB for all levels of users in Ubuntu 8.10.

Procedure

(A) With Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD
(1) Download the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD from http://www.ubuntu.com. Make sure you download the Desktop version instead of Server version.
(2) Burn the image file (.iso) with your CD/DVD burner in the method of burning as image.
(3) Boot up the Live CD.
(4) Insert your brand new USB thumb drive.
(5) Choose “System” >> “Administration” >> “Create a USB startup disk”.
(6) Format the USB thumb drive if there is a “Format” button on the screen. (The finished product does not work on a FAT32 formatted media; however, it works great on FAT16.)
(7) Push the adjustable bar to the maximum in order to allow you to save files or something on the Ubuntu Live USB.
(8) Click the “Make startup disk” button to create the Live USB. It takes time to complete and depends on the size of your USB thumb drive. (For official Ubuntu CD, you are required at least 1GB size.)

(B) From a working copy of Ubuntu 8.10 on hard drive
(1) Boot up your computer that running Ubuntu 8.10.
(1a) Download the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop .iso or put the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD to the CD-ROM.
(2) Insert your brand new USB thumb drive.
(3) Choose “System” >> “Administration” >> “Create a USB startup disk”.
(4) Format the USB thumb drive if there is a “Format” button on the screen. (The finished product does not work on a FAT32 formatted media; however, it works great on FAT16.)
(5) Push the adjustable bar to the maximum in order to allow you to save files or something on the Ubuntu Live USB.
(6) Click the “Make startup disk” button to create the Live USB. It takes time to complete and depends on the size of your USB thumb drive. (For official Ubuntu CD, you are required at least 1GB size.)

Tips

(1) Use a 1GB or larger USB thumb drive. You are advised to use a faster speed USB thumb drive.
(2) Use Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop version (Live CD or working copy).
(3) Make sure the USB thumb is in FAT16 format or format it as is at the program that prompt you (there will be a “Format” button).
(4) Go to the BIOS to change the boot priority. Makes the USB media boot first. Or, you may need to change the boot priority on every boot up with Ubuntu Live USB. Some BIOS provides boot menu for the selection.
(5) Or, you may consider Lambda 8.10 Live DVD at http://www.samiux.com as you are not required to install any common program and plugin, such as Flash, Java runtime and multimedia codecs. In addition, it is in Traditional Chinese by default. You can use any Chinese Input Method on it. For Lambda Linux, you are required a 2GB or larger USB thumb drive.
(6) If you are using a larger USB thumb drive and reversed extra space, you can save files and install programs on the USB thumb drive.
