Manually fixing bug with Darklooks GTK-theme and Compiz

This is annoying: Whenever I install a new GNOME-Desktop with my favourite Darklooks theme from the gnome-theme-extras package (in Ubuntu) I am confronted by this silly bug. As soon as I change to the compiz-window-manager it starts resetting the theme to default colours.Finally found the corresponding bug report. To fix it open the file /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and edit it like follows:

You can fix it by changing the two tooltip lines…

from:
…
181: bg[NORMAL] = @tooltip_bg_color
182: fg[NORMAL] = @tooltip_fg_color
…

to:
…
181: bg[NORMAL] = @tooltips_bg_color
182: fg[NORMAL] = @tooltips_fg_color

Installation from USB Stick

The method described below is truly one of the simplest for installing an Ubuntu ISO image on an USB stick.
clipped from ubuntuforums.org

  • use syslinux to make the usb stick bootable (you will need to set the bootable flag too. i think syslinux gives you pointers on how to if it isn’t set, that or use something like fdisk)
  • copy the contents of the ‚isolinux‘ dir on the install iso into the root dir on the usb stick
  • rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
  • goto http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis…ages/hd-media/ and download the initrd.gz and vmlinuz files.
  • create a folder on the usb stick called ‚install‘ and copy initrd.gz and vmlinuz into it (or alternatively edit the syslinux.cfg to point it to the correct location of initrd.gz+vmlinuz)
  • copy the ubuntu iso you wish to install onto the root of the usb stick
