i bave a hp mini 2133, i dont want to buy the hp mini until the 3g editions are standard but i want to use the mobile experience interface..

where do i get this? is there an image somewhere or can i download it somewhere from hp..

thanks for all the help

the theme is called bleu-glass or something like that. just add these sources to your sources.list (or add them through System -> Administration -> Software Sources)

without further ado, here are the repo's you want.

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-hpmini main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-hpmini main universe multiverse restricted

let me know if that's all you need. If not I can look into it a little more, that worked fine for me (I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix, added the repositories and that was it)

#3

Hi there,

i was also looking for this, and i am glad that something is happening :-)

I've read on Liliputing, that there'll be an iso to download in the future, but i'm not sure if it's gonna work with the 2133 as well...

@timm: Do you think netbook remix is necessary for this to work? And you DID get UNR running on the 2133? Because people seem to have problems with it...

#4

No, not really. Any Debian-based Linux distro can be used as long as it can download from the HP repo. everything is compiled as lpia (low power intel atom?) so that might cause some compatibility issues. But if you're just getting the GNOME themes and such then I'm sure it doesn't matter. just make sure that you only pick the packages you want and then DISABLE the HP repo. and don't upgrade while the HP repo is enabled. horrible things will happen (it happened to me, had to reinstall UNR).

If anyone else wants help with downloading MIE or it's interface let me know. I'm running UNR with the HP MIE background, theme, browser theme, and splash screen. It looks nice and makes it look like UNR just belongs.

EDIT:

you only need to add the second to last repository if you just want the interface. the hardy-hpmini repo has all that stuff and allows you to not have to type so much.

#5

Looks great in the preview but fails on 64bit grrrrr

#6

what do you mean? doesn't download or work on your system? I might be able to hunt around and find the individual theme files, which should be completely platform independent.

#7

I added the repo's, but when i refresh it says they cannot be contacted. Are they down or is there some other reason they may not be working?

#8

I don't know. It just worked for me. what version of ubuntu do you have and on what system are you running it?

#9

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on an Asus eeePC. Is that the problem? Does the repo see that it's not an HP laptop?

#10

It might have more to do with the fact that you're nor running Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I'll poke around my HP mini when I have some free time and see if I can just snag the interface files... or I can just download the packages and then upload them. I'll post when I do either.

#11

Okay, thanks so much. I guess it doesnt help that i'm running Ubuntu-eee versus even the full Ubuntu.

~Thanks though :D

#12

Has anyone tried it on higher resolution? Will it work with 1280x800? I don't run hardy any more so I cant test it myself at the moment.

#13

Nice idea, but the repos are dead. Failed to connect to all of them.

:(

#14

anyone updated repository list (working) yet? wanting to install on Macbook Air.

#15

Actually it would seem as though the repositories are there. However they are only for lpia architectures, and everyone is probably using i386.

It is possible to override the apt architecture by add

APT::Architecture "lpia";

to one of the apt config files. However there is a high chance of breaking your system.

Otherwise if someone with more time than me can download the source and recompile for i386.

#16

Anyone know if this would work on the Nokia N-Series devices?

I have an N810. It runs mameo (debian variant, but not ubuntu) and has an ARM processor.

The device is awsome, but I would like to find an new UI for it since theming is VERY limited in maemo :(

#17

Update on this one, guys...

If you just want the new theme, here's how I did it, without adding things to Synaptic.

Open your browser of choice and go to http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/

This should give you links to click on; click on Universe and then Binary-lpia. In here, save the glassy-bleu-browser-skin_0.5_all.deb , glassy-bleu-theme_21_all.deb , and gnome-backgrounds-hp_0.4_all.deb files. Just save these to your Desktop. As these are compiled with "all" rather than "lpia", these should be global files that will work for 386 or 64-bit distros. Click on the files on your desktop and Package Installer should handle the rest.*

Presumably, you could go into the main, restricted, or multiverse folders and do the same thing for any .deb files that do not have lpia in their name and have them work on your distro.*

*standard disclaimer of me not being responsible for you hosing your system while trying to follow these instructions does apply here; they worked for me, though.

#18

i really like the new theme, the window borders are too vista-ish though. however i cant see this UNR look-a-like software they had in the preview, does it exist for i386?

#19

I believe that, going through the package list descriptions, that 'dennis' is the internal code name for the full-blown desktop interface. Currently, all the files I've seen with 'dennis' in the file name are for the lpia architecture. These would have to be completely recompiled from source to support an i386 or AMD-64 architecture.

#20

Wildcard, thanks for the info - I was able to download and install the packages on my Dell mini. However the HP theme doesn't show up in System - Preferences - Appearance - Theme. Is it loaded somewhere else?

#21

EEE PC 4G surf. More tweaking needed.

#22

Hmm, glassy-bleu shows up now. Not sure if it took a reboot or I'm just stupid. At any rate, the theme is there, guess I need to research how to load the rest of the pieces. Time to reload UNR using the handy-dandy guide at http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/installing-ubuntu-netbook-remix.html

#23

JerkyChew said: Wildcard, thanks for the info - I was able to download and install the packages on my Dell mini. However the HP theme doesn't show up in System - Preferences - Appearance - Theme. Is it loaded somewhere else?

Nope, that's where it should show. Try logging out/rebooting? (or desktop switching from Ubuntu netbook remix to the 'normal' desktop and back?)

#24

I wonder if they'll make this for Intrepid (or Jaunty)

#25

I got the theme to show on my 8.10 desktop but for some reason OpenOffice 3 icons are all messed up. Does anyone know how to fix this?

#26

reya276, you need to install one of the openoffice.org-style-* packages (use Synaptic). I don't know which one it is exactly, so I installed all of them. Even though the icons look ugly, they're at least appearing. I'll try to locate the exact one later and I'll post it here.

#27

Here's a screenshot.

works for me - thanks installed on desktop ubuntu 8.10 x64 but there is problems with openoffice writer - hmm - waiting for fix :)

PS what about background image for this theme? ;)

#29

supernova_hq said: The device is awsome, but I would like to find an new UI for it since theming is VERY limited in maemo :(

I have a Nokia 770 with the Star Trek LCARS theme and changed the Nokia "finger" splashy to a Federation logo. Looks very authentic when booting up.

I got a lot of compliments on the theme, well at least from those who knew what it was.

#30

I have all the OpenOffice-styles installed but for some reason the icons look just like that image you posted.

#31

Do they look beter? hahaha Post a screenshot, please!

#32

Looks like we need to install:

openoffice.org-config_3_all.deb openoffice.org-config_4_all.deb

to fix problems with OO

but it depends on ume-config-common - and i can't find it :(

I installed all the packages and they worked. I have the visual theme up but I can't figure out how to apply the HP Launcher. I already have the Ubuntu Netbook Remix installed but it still has the default theme.

Any ideas?

peryn said: ume-config-common not ume-config-base

I don't think there is a ume-config-common on the page.

#37

Ok. I got it to install with Netbook remix. the theme is working but still missing the HP MIE screen. Tried booting up. How do i get my netbook to behave exactly like the HP MIE.

#38

I have just installed the hp theme and harbour-launcher. there are some bits that link with it that i don't have yet. im running intrepid on an eee 901 with i386 i think. i had to use dpkg --help and dpkg --force-help but eventually it let me install it with wrong architecture and missing dependancy (intrepid replaces libgmime with a different version (with an a on the end) but with force-depends i could install it. sorry if i sound garbled, i've just invented the method as i went along

What package did you install for the harbour launcher, "ume-config-harbour"?

#40

Thanks for that suggestion. I've snapped a screenshot of this theme used on a fresh Ubuntu install on my Macbook Air.

By the way... Ubuntu works just great full screen under VMWare 2 on Macbook Air. :D

http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/restricted/binary-lpia/ then harbour-launcher_0.78.3_lpia.deb had to dpkg --install --force-depends --force-architecture dont copy and paste because I'm not sure if it is right. check dpkg --help and dpkg --force-help as I said above i haven;t had much time to test it. if it goes wrong its not my fault (disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer)

#42

Great, hm1992, thank you!

I'm running it on an actual HP Mini XP Edition with dual boot (XP/Ubuntu).

The whole process, step by step

  1. Download harbour-launcher_0.78.3_lpia.deb and save it to your home folder
  1. Open a terminal window and type:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture --force-depends harbour-launcher_0.78.3_lpia.deb

  1. Type Alt+F2 and launch it:

harbour-launcher

If you don't see it right away, press the show desktop icon (the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+D) or do some Alt+Tabbing. If you want it to launch everytime you log in, go to System > Preferences > Sessions and add harbour-lancher.

EDIT: It creates a heart icon on Firefox, but it apparently does nothing. Any ideas?

  1. To get the Favorite Websites thing working, install the webfav_1.0ubuntu5_all.deb package.
  1. The music/photos widgets are powered by Elisa, a media center software. You can install it by typing this on a terminal:

sudo apt-get install elisa

Or go to Synaptic-Add/Remove and search for "elisa". It will ask you to restart your computer. (!)

  1. The MIE has no top panel, just a bottom one. You can mimic Ubuntu Netbook remix's set-up (assuming you have installed UNR's packages): (source)%20UNR%20Package%20Installation")

go-home-applet | window-picker-applet | notification-area-applet | mixer-applet | clock

Add them from last to first. Right-click each one and click Move to arrange them.

Additional tweak

  1. Install the Thunderbird theme:

Does anyone else recommend extra tweaks?

Screenshot attached. Some further tweaking is still necessary, but it's almost done, I believe.

Does anyone know how to assign the Windows/Super key to launch harbour-launcher?

  1. When you first launch harbour-launcher, it tells you can always come back to it by pressing the HP key - which is, actually, a rebranded Windows/Super key.

Does anyone else recommend extra tweaks?

Awesome little tutorial there, many thanks.

I'm really liking the design - reminds me somewhat of what jolicloud looks like - albeit less functional than the JC will be.

It's annoying you can't resize the sidebars or, as someone else suggested, replace mail with a RSS reader or something else.

I've installed it on my netbook (eee pc 701) and the launcher does't entirely fit the screen, which is a bit 'meh', i guess... but most people didn't get a netbook shipped to the UK from USA the day they came out... so good for you for waiting!)

The 'app' launcher icons are massive, but very finger friendly - should be great for when i get my eee swivel screen model in a few months.

UK users won't get to buy the HP netbook this comes with as HP have decided to only release Windows based netbooks here.

interestingly, the linux version comes with 2GB RAM, xp comes with 512mb. just sayin'!

My fingers hurt from typing on this eee, but if anyone is interested in tweaking the launcher to fit a 701 screen i'm more than happy to help. (depending on the license of the launcher, obv. i'm not aware it's opensource.)

#44

using the above and some fiddling on my own it seems to work pretty well but runs like crap on my rather light weight eee (eee 900mhz, 512mb ram) looks like the launcher is using more than 50% of the processor

#45

Same here. The thing is apparently quite CPU-intensive, processor use is constantly at 50%.

#46

It ran fine on my eee 701 - thought i do have 2GB RAM.

I installed it on my desktop, too which was a mistake. I forced architecture and dependencies on x64 Ubuntu and it won't run, nor can i remove it. However, Update Manager is more than happy to pretty much present me with most of HP's updates, despite not adding the repos.

Frak.

@timm: Do you think netbook remix is necessary for this to work? And you DID get UNR running on the 2133? Because people seem to have problems with it...

I wouldn't try this on the HP 2133 Mini-Notebook, the VIA processor, chipset, and graphics probably won't play well with it. But, if you're in the market for a new mini PC, the HP 2140 Mini-Notebook will come with the Intel Atom N270 processor.

The device is awsome, but I would like to find an new UI for it since theming is VERY limited in maemo :(

There is pretty much zero chance of this happening. It's a stretch to call maemo a debian variant, even if it uses .debs for packaging and Nokia uses debian distro as a starting point.

#49

Darn. Well, it was worth a shot :(

I guess I'm stuck with my limited maemo themes.

#50

Hello,

is there any way to install MediaStyle? I cannot find the package...

#51

supernova_hq said: Darn. Well, it was worth a shot :(

I guess I'm stuck with my limited maemo themes.

You could always try installing Illume (part of E17, made for OpenMoko but isn't specific to it) using the easy_e17.sh script. Of course, that would require terminal access on your nokia and you would need to compile missing dependencies. If your ultimate goal is having more customizable themes, though, e17 is your ticket.

#52

Any word on the OpenOffice 3 icons fix for the HP Mini Theme on 8.10 desktop

If you want to install HP MIE with the restore disk, I've uploaded all needed files on my mirror @ boTux.fr :

Can't thank you enough. All the themes I tried, sucked at the very best. without clear instructions and difficult to implement.. your introduction and instructions this has made ubuntu finally what it is a great superior system.

Next stop? Some transparency in black color?

#56

shaggorama said: So how does OO look with the config files installed? right now I'm not a huge fan: the font in dialog boxes is too dark.

I didn't install them, please note that i'm not sure that those config files actually help... maybe we should ask in OO forums?

#57

darn.. spoke too soon.. best theme, but useless if can't use openoffice.org,

anyone got a solution?

#58

chaehaih said: darn.. spoke too soon.. best theme, but useless if can't use openoffice.org,

Spoke too soon again.. a not very kool workaround is to also install the following 6 as well. First one below might not be needed. 1) openoffice.org-config-hp_1_all.deb 2) (ume-config-base_0.1_all.deb) to 0.5.

And you will get something looking like this..

But in order to take screenshot and modify it, I had to open gimp. And wait till you see gimp.. and you would feel all was a waste of time. it's good thing,but not fully done. It should have been just few click installs and everything should have worked well. it's a pain in the *** to be able to unlock the theme folder in windows, once you are done, changing themes is a piece of cake.

and now as a newbie to ubuntu, I think it's a major pain in the manboobs to just make this ugly (great system) look pretty.

#59

i have downloaded the .img file released today but i would like to install it in a virtual machine. It boots from an SD in my eee pc but is not a live distro. It just offers one choice (lose all of you hard drive information and start a fresh). With no conformation that it works on the eee pc i will not try it. I have managed to convert the .img file into a .vdi for virtual box using these instructions (http://www.greenhughes.com/content/installing-ubuntu-mid-virtualbox) but it just falls into a loop, saying

checking device /dev/sda for installation source... checking device /dev/sdb for installation source... checking device /dev/sdc for installation source... checking device /dev/sdd for installation source... Sleeping for 5 seconds Sleeping finished

and then it loops. Can i bypass this, or mount a dummy as /dev/sda or something (i don't have very much experience with virtual box). Or do the instructions above allow all the HP features to work on the harbour-launcher at least

#60

shaggorama said: So how does OO look with the config files installed? right now I'm not a huge fan: the font in dialog boxes is too dark.

so i found an easy workaround to this (AKA my particular) issue. The dialog box colors is not specific to open office, it's a default setting of the theme. To darken the text, go to:

system > preferences > appearance > customize > colors tab > Input boxes - text

and just slide down to lighten, or pick your color. default is #101010. right now I'm using #565656 and it works pretty well.

#61

ugh, you all thought the gimp was bad, try opening up compizconfig

#62

While the frontend interface installed and looks good, the features don't all work. Note that I have already installed Elisa.

File, Settings and Logout: work, although, ideally would prefer shutdown option in logout. Mail: Dont want to use Thunderbird, unable to configure. I'd like to point gmail to this, ideally. Websearch: works Bookmarks: None available, don't know how to add Favorite sites: can add, no thumbnail Music: Unable to add albums. The add action throws up a pop-up titled

Select, album, playlist or song

which says

Could not get albums from HP Mediastyle powered by Elisa.

Click on the Music link yields:

HP MediaStyle Powered by Elisa frontend show failed
The name com.fluendo.Elisa was not provided by any .service files
<OK>

Photos: same as music Start program: works Switcher: works

It appears as if for the rest of it to work, the HP Mediastyle app is necessary. However, this doesn't seem to be available as a package. If it is in another package, it isn't apparent. Elisa by itself doesn't connect to this frontend.

Is this what's working for everyone, or is there more? Am I missing something?

The name com.fluendo.Elisa was not provided by any .service files
<OK>

Photos: same as music Start program: works Switcher: works

It appears as if for the rest of it to work, the HP Mediastyle app is necessary. However, this doesn't seem to be available as a package. If it is in another package, it isn't apparent. Elisa by itself doesn't connect to this frontend.

Is this what's working for everyone, or is there more? Am I missing something?

Same problem here

sry, bad english... :/ Wow looks great. How you got the weblinks thumbnails working? And how did you got the thumbnails for music and video's working? I would really like to get that to work to! Thanks in advance!

I dloaded HP MIE Restore image, and installed it... That's all I did...

m.rankovic said: I dloaded HP MIE Restore image, and installed it... That's all I did...

Ok thanks!

If i use the HP Mie image to install on my netbook (samsung NC10) can i choose the partions to install on? Or will it overwrite everything? I use a tripleboot so i don't want to loose the other partitions.

#70

It will delete everityng... U will loose all your partitions and data..

#71

You can get the photo and music thumbnails working by installing the latest elisa from the hp repos:

elisa_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb elisa-plugins-ugly_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb python-elisa_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb elisa-plugins-bad_0.5.15.5-0dennis9_all.deb elisa-plugins-good_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb

You'll also need python-pgm and libpigment > 0.3.8, for lpia you can it in the hp repos, for i386 and x86 you can find it here:

http://91.189.90.217/damoxc/ubuntu/pool/main/p/

#72

Shouldn't there be source code available? I'm guessing that most of that stuff is built mostly on top of GPL licensed software(excluding GTK+ and parts of GNOME which is LGPL)?

#73

With this (thanks weid83):

elisa_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb elisa-plugins-ugly_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb python-elisa_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb elisa-plugins-bad_0.5.15.5-0dennis9_all.deb elisa-plugins-good_0.5.15.5-0dennis1_all.deb

Music: works. Unable to assign cover art as yet, but that's probably a limitation of my MP3, not necessarily the frontend. Even able to play music in the widget. Photos: works. Sometimes elisa dies, but that's again a software issue, not the frontend's

[COLOR="Red"]Bookmarks: Still unable to add; not sure what the intended method here is. Web Favorites: Still no thumbnails Mail: still thunderbird, but I understand that's by design. In a netbook, this must ideally be webmail.hmph! [/COLOR]

Also just realized that my bottom panel does not start automatically. Instead a blank panel starts, which I can't add any applets to - right click only shows only help and about.

Meanwhile, if I start a gnome-panel as root

$ sudo gnome-panel

the correct bottom panel gets started. Not too sure what's happening there or how to fix it.

Appreciate any help

Problem is you ran gnome-panel with sudo. Since gnome-panel wrote to your configs as root, they are now owned by root, and thus your panel won't start correctly.

#76

shaggorama said: so i found an easy workaround to this (AKA my particular) issue. The dialog box colors is not specific to open office, it's a default setting of the theme. To darken the text, go to:

system > preferences > appearance > customize > colors tab > Input boxes - text

and just slide down to lighten, or pick your color. default is #101010. right now I'm using #565656 and it works pretty well.

Following this method gets me OpenOffice with readable buttons, however, the icons are still missing. Is this due to the HP icon pack? Or is it something else. I'm hoping to get the icons back in OpenOffice, but other than that, I love this new look!

sudo doesn't use root's configs, it uses your own. I can't tell you for certain where it is, but try looking in .gnome2. Other than that, I can't tell you, since I don't use GNOME.

remu, peryn

sorry for not spelling that part of the fix out, rafaelcapanema stumbled onto the solution a fwe days ago (p.3 of this thread):

rafaelcapanema said: reya276, you need to install one of the openoffice.org-style-* packages (use Synaptic).

I don't know which one it is exactly, so I installed all of them. Even though the icons look ugly, they're at least appearing. I'll try to locate the exact one later and I'll post it here.

i'm pretty sure the icon set you want is the high contrast one, but I installed them all and it looks alot better. If you feel the need to tweak OO more, try tools > options > appearance

#83

For those who want to tweak the colors of this theme (and others), use thewidgetfactory. Press the link if you have apturl, or search for it in Synaptic. It gives previews of every gtk widget.

You could try a set ownership of every file in your home directory recursively, might take a min but it will go through every folder in home and set you back as owner again:

sudo chown MYUSERNAME -R /home/MYUSERNAME

This looks cool. I have been looking for a good dark theme from gnome since i started trying out KDE4. I will set this up when i get home.

hm1992 said: i have downloaded the .img file released today but i would like to install it in a virtual machine.

It boots from an SD in my eee pc but is not a live distro. It just offers one choice (lose all of you hard drive information and start a fresh). With no conformation that it works on the eee pc i will not try it. I have managed to convert the .img file into a .vdi for virtual box using these instructions (http://www.greenhughes.com/content/installing-ubuntu-mid-virtualbox) but it just falls into a loop, saying

checking device /dev/sda for installation source... checking device /dev/sdb for installation source... checking device /dev/sdc for installation source... checking device /dev/sdd for installation source... Sleeping for 5 seconds Sleeping finished

and then it loops. Can i bypass this, or mount a dummy as /dev/sda or something (i don't have very much experience with virtual box). Or do the instructions above allow all the HP features to work on the harbour-launcher at least

Has anyone found a way to get this installed as a VM (VirtualBox)? Or has anyone created a .VDI we can download?

I run into the same error as hm1992 (above).

#89
#90

anyone have an opinion on using this theme on a Samsung NC-10 ?

I'm willing to try this using wildcards instructions as this netbook is for playing around with as it is.

I am new to GNOME customization, but my main reason for wanting to try this is to be able to see the bottom 5% of the system windows instead of having the OK and Cancel buttons for almost everything I use being too low off the bottom of screen and I have to hit Tab and get lucky from memory.

#91

XopherH said: ... and I have to hit Tab and get lucky from memory.

Alt+Left Mouse Button, and move the window up...

#92

m.rankovic said: Alt+Left Mouse Button, and move the window up...

Although new and good information which I will use, I was going more for actually resizing the windows from the GNOME/OS/Kernel standpoint. There must be a customization that allows those windows to insert a scrollbar.

For some reason I am not a big hotkey and mouse gesture kind of guy, I just prefer not to have to shortcut to do something which should show up as intended from the start.

BobCFC, Thanks, but no go. Still the same problem. I'm goin' nuts!

#94

I believe that once you move the window via ALT+left mouse, the OS should 'remember' the new position of the window on subsequent openings of that particular windows.

#95

I really like the glassybleu and hp theme look (although dust will stay my theme for now). I just hope that the Ubuntu team can come up with something just as good or better for the next release.

Thanks for posting how to get this. Now we just need someone to release these (or something very similar) into gnome-look.org so we don't need to use the .deb files.

#97

I wrote a tutorial for those who aren't willing to go through 8 pages of posts :D

#98

Has anyone made a downloadable VM with Mie preinstalled?

#99
#100

The glassybleu theme takes away the icons on cellwriter; So this is not so great on tablet PCs unless someone finds a workaround.

Edit: ok, so you can turn on "show button labels" in cellwriter.

#101

Hello, I want to use this interface on my Dell Mini 9, but harbour eats up 50% of the CPU. This make my notebook quite unusable. I'm wondering if on an HP Mini 1000 is the same problem. Is this because I use i386? Is there something I'm missing?!?

#102

I wouldn't recommend anyone using this interface quite yet (unless you want to try to figure out how to fix it). Much of the launcher interface doesn't work right.

Just the theme by itself looks pretty good, but some icons don't work so well.

peace

#103

Well, I have tried it but i didn't stress myself to fix it since the interface runs like hell. I really wonder how much CPU does it use on HP Mini since it has the same CPU. Now that I'm thinking about it, may it be because of the video card drivers? Because I use the ones that came with Intrepid.

#104

Thanks everyone for the great work and clarity in how-to.

i followed the steps, the only problem is the following:

my system resources are swamped. i have a dual core 2.4 and one core is constantly at 100% while the second is around 20 - 30%. Also its using around 300mb of my 3gb ram.

i am running this on my desktop with 8.10.

I am making a port of the metacity to emerald, incase anyone is interested.

Not sure why there are reports of too much consumption of resources. Mine's a venerable IBM X-41 with a single core 1.6G CPU. Typically with Firefox, a terminal, and system monitor open, CPU is about 25%. system-monitor consumes most of it.

It *might* be because you haven't installed all the debs necessary.

#107

it just struck me that it might be possible i installed debs for 64bit?

#108
#109

ecacafce said: it just struck me that it might be possible i installed debs for 64bit?

#111

ecacafce said: is there anyway to fix this?

Try with disabling Compiz for a start. I don't believe Compiz was a strain on resources when I had it enabled, but give it a try anyway. Then try to see if you did indeed install the 64-bit debs. If you did, reinstalling the debs for your particular platform (except the harbour-launcher deb).

#112

My tutorial on setting up the Mie interface now has info on getting basic bookmarks integration and fonts working... enjoy :D

#113

So you say that the resource eater is not harbour-launcher? Because after I stoped harbour and returned to UNR, the CPU is no longer used 50%. I use meta-city, since it Compiz is incompatible with UNR interface.

PS: I have Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Mini 9

#114

im using this theme on my desktop very happy with no complaints thanks for the deb files

#115

I know people were having problems with Open Office.

Try this out:

just write a shell script if you are lazy like me

#!/bin/bash
# This changes the appearance of idiotic applications
# Your favorite theme = GTKRCFILE
# GTK2_RC_FILES = path to your favorite theme's gtkrc (change /usr/share/themes to /home/*whatever*.themes if you wish)
GTKRCFILE=Human
GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/"$GTKRCFILE"/gtk-2.0/gtkrc "$@"

save it as "theme", under /home/user/ make it executable (chmod or use gui) test it by running

./theme ooffice -writer 

change the menus using the menu editor.

edit: check it out: I am running cianosmooth with ooffice-writer. edit the second attached a hgiher resolution conversion of the HP wallpaper

#116

#117

Whew! Finally everything works! Much thanks to everyone for sharing! peace

#118

I have everything working pretty well, except for a couple of things. Does anyone have the Mail info in the left working properly? I have Thunderbird configured with my email account settings, but it still doesn't show anything in the left panel. Help?

Also, does anyone have binaries for the MediaStyle version of Elisa that the HP mie uses? I want to get it set up so I can have the whole interface working. :-)

You really have the modified Elisa working? I get a dependency error for the plugins-bad package you listed, and The first few packages aren't located on that server anymore. Additionally, the mail center still isn't working for me, and I followed your tutorial.

Edit: I have Elisa working properly with the interface now, by using the packages at the Elisa PPA. All I need now is for the Thunderbird integration to work! :-) Anyone able to get it working?

#122

Wow, well done everyone and thanks for getting this working.

Does anyone know if a .deb could be created to streamline all of this into a single install, or am i talking silly?:popcorn:

I've got a problem. Everything was working great yesterday, but now my CPU load rides very high. At the low end, it'll be around 48%. On the high end, it'll max out. It seems that nautilus is doing this, and I can't open new instances of nautilus (i.e. I can't browse any folders when I click "Files"). Any suggestions?

#128

Try running "killall nautilus". :)

...wow. Can't believe I didn't think of that, lol. I guess I just assumed it was something ill from harbour-launcher. I don't know what happened, but it's working fine now. Now, next... :-P

Hey. I installed all this and it seems to work except when i go to the Elisa photo and music manager the graphics get all screwy. Anyone else have this problem? Also, is there anyway to get firefox to open inside the launcher? that would be cool. Also the launcher seems to be a little laggy.

#141

Question on this, and this might sound strange, but what exactly is this interface? Is it just a theme for the Ubuntu Window Manager (which I think is metacity) or an application. I downloaded what was posted in this thread, but it is just a theme. I am looking for the complete interface. The thing that brings together all the applications into a dashboard.

#142

What I think would be a whole lot more useful, is a stand alone Ubuntu dashboard similar to this, bust customizable to the user. I.E. adding applications and bookmarks and stuff instead of having this screwey version. If it weren't for Elisa having so many complications this harbour-launcher would be bearable. Another type of launcher or the ability to use something like Boxee as the media center instead of Elisa would be great. Development for this would be great. Or just getting the source code for this harbour-launcher would be great, I was able to change some of the visual text but I am not much of a programmer.

By the way, on Gnome-look I can see a theme, Overglossed Black, which looks to go along well with this HP thing. Maybe works better with openoffice too ?

Chareos said: Hi all

I was just wondering... is there around a consolidate how-to of these 16+ pages with an Intrepid i386 package, to make all your efforts easily enjoyable by any ubuntu user ?

Thanks Yes there is. a2h posted this earlier in the thread:

http://a2h.uni.cc/wp/2009/02/14/installing-the-hp-minis-mie-interface-on-ubuntu/

I went by that exact tutorial and it worked great.

The Firefox theme did not work for me:

  1. it moved the sidebar to the right side of the screen and I can't move it back. This happened without asking!
  1. There is no uninstall option for the theme. I tried to do so in safe mode, still hangs on perniciously like a dingleberry. Can you help me root this thing out whether it is by deleting the file somewhere or whatever...?

Have you uninstalled the theme package you installed??

And/or in firefox: tools > add-ons > themes and select another theme, like "default"

Hi, I'am trying the MIE look on a VM with ubuntu 8.10

there are a few more things I got working:

[SIZE="4"]login (GDM) theme[/SIZE] [SIZE="3"]1. install the hp package[/SIZE] Please install the package you find here http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/main/binary-lpia/ubuntu-gdm-themes_0.29netbook0dennis8_all.deb

[SIZE="3"]2. modify the installed theme[/SIZE] If you try to login now an errormessage will pop up saying there is no item called checkbox in GDM, this is because hp patched the GDM to be able to show a checkbox that allows to select "don't ask for password next time" the standart GDM doesn't have that. so execute


sudo gedit /usr/share/gdm/themes/HP-UMPC-GDM/HpGdmTheme.xml

and remove the following lines


<!--  autologin checkbox:
this is not a standard element in GDM; it was patched in for this project specifically. Will break on normal GNOME desktop systems! -->  

<item type="checkbox" id="autologin">
    <pos anchor="w" x="452" y="311" width="box" height="box" />
    <normal color="#99ccff" font="Liberation Sans 6"/>
    <stock type="autologin" />
</item>

now you may need to select the "HP GDM THEME" in the menu that's it. (if you really want that checkbox experiment with the gdm package in the hp repos it breaks some dependencies but perhaps you can fix that. i just dont need the checkbox so I'am not spending time on that anymore)

[SIZE="4"]Firefox Add-ons[/SIZE] there are tow add-ons in the repository they add a enhanced maximizing funktion and a nicer look http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/universe/binary-lpia/hp-browser-tabbar_0.1_all.deb and http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/universe/binary-lpia/hp-browser-toolbar_0.3_all.deb

If you want to remove the firefox theme all you have to do is use sudo apt-get autoremove glassy-bleu-browser-skin. I'm not completely sure if this is how to remove the theme but i tried it and it work for me.

Could we have a screenshot of the Firefox Add-on hp-browser-tabbar and hp-browser toolbar

#160

just broke my vm as soon as it works again i will uplode a picture

#161

ok I got some screen shots for you (the VM doesn't work right now exept for GDM, i took the firefox screenshot right befor it broke just didn't realies i did it on the host machine not on the vm).

edit: just noticed the ok button in the GDM screenshot doesn't look right its normally darker (the standart hp mie theme style) but that's still broken richt now so it looks like this. I shouldn't have installed the updates the new kernel is completly unusable.

I notice something different in the screen shots a new icon in the tab area are those the Firefox add-ons. Just wondering do i need to install glassy-bleu-browser-skin_0.5_all.deb then the Firefox add-ons or could i use the add-ons for use with default Firefox theme.

#163

Yes the icon belongs to the hp-browser-tabbar, the little screen-icon belongs to the hp-browser-toolbar and can be used for maximiezing websides borderless. The addons should be usable without the hp-theme , i will try that later.

edit: tried it, they work without the theme

#164

wildcard said: Update on this one, guys...

If you just want the new theme, here's how I did it, without adding things to Synaptic.

Open your browser of choice and go to http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/

This should give you links to click on; click on Universe and then Binary-lpia. In here, save the glassy-bleu-browser-skin_0.5_all.deb , glassy-bleu-theme_21_all.deb , and gnome-backgrounds-hp_0.4_all.deb files. Just save these to your Desktop. As these are compiled with "all" rather than "lpia", these should be global files that will work for 386 or 64-bit distros. Click on the files on your desktop and Package Installer should handle the rest.*

Presumably, you could go into the main, restricted, or multiverse folders and do the same thing for any .deb files that do not have lpia in their name and have them work on your distro.*

*standard disclaimer of me not being responsible for you hosing your system while trying to follow these instructions does apply here; they worked for me, though.

awesome theme

Islington said: I know people were having problems with Open Office.

Try this out:

just write a shell script if you are lazy like me

#!/bin/bash
# This changes the appearance of idiotic applications
# Your favorite theme = GTKRCFILE
# GTK2_RC_FILES = path to your favorite theme's gtkrc (change /usr/share/themes to /home/*whatever*.themes if you wish)
GTKRCFILE=Human
GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/"$GTKRCFILE"/gtk-2.0/gtkrc "$@"

save it as "theme", under /home/user/ make it executable (chmod or use gui) test it by running

./theme ooffice -writer 

change the menus using the menu editor.

edit: check it out: I am running cianosmooth with ooffice-writer. edit the second attached a hgiher resolution conversion of the HP wallpaper

#170

Note to anyone setting an OpenOffice.org theme: the theme is case-sensitive, so use Human or Human-Clearlooks (they work the best).

Also how do you link the command ooffice to the themed command? So that when you open a document it automatically uses the set theme. I'm sure it's pretty easy but I'm not that familiar with it (symbolic link vs hard link etc). Is it cd /usr/bin && ln -sb ooffice /home/$user/theme ? I don't want to mess up my system.

peace

#171

All right here's my guide to fixing open office icons etc:

  1. Make a text file telling open office to use a theme:
gedit ~/Documents/theme

put this in the file and save:

#!/bin/bash
GTKRCFILE=Human-Clearlooks
GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/"$GTKRCFILE"/gtk-2.0/gtkrc ooffice2 "$@"

then make it executable:

chmod +x ~/Documents/theme
  1. Link the command ooffice to instead use your custom command with the theme:
cd /usr/bin
sudo cp ooffice ooffice2
sudo ln -sbv /home/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/theme ooffice

That's it! I got a small error with the first document I opened but after that it works fine.

You can undo it at any time by:

sudo mv /usr/bin/ooffice~ /usr/bin/ooffice

Something went wrong, and it has something to do with the fix, it broke OpenOffice somehow, and I had to reinstall it

#180

Installed Intrepid Ibex on our Hp Mini 2133 four weeks ago (Suse wasn't for us). All is running very smooth except tv-out and we can't make it run the right resolution.

How can we edit our Xorg? We can't open it. We have tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but it doesn't seem to work at all. So I guess this is the wrong command. We found a howto at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133#Video Driver Fix but we miss the command to open Xorg. Anyone?

#182

And now for something completely different.....

It seems that (almost) all of the above applies to installing the MIE-interface to an i386-platform.

But I have a Compaq Mini 700, identical to the HP mini 1000, the platform MIE was made for. Unfortunately they don't sell the MIE editions here. So I'm dual booting with XP on the harddisk and UNR on a 8GB SDHC.

How would I go about getting MIE on this system? I figure I have 2 choices:

  1. Going with HP's restore image, wipe the disk and have a new HP Mini MIE. Which is based on 8.04, where I'm running UNR 9.04.... (which I don't want to give up easily because of new stuff)
  1. Adding the HP-repo's and then basically reinstalling manually (time consuming, but probably worth it, since it would give me a MIE 9.04, which noone else has (or do they?)

Any opinions as to how I should go about this?

#183

I am wanting to get the MIE from HP, does anyone know if there is anywhere that I can get a CD with the software/Drivers loaded on it?? I have been trying to use the Image files that you can get from HP's site... and for whatever reason I can never get it to let me load it from my thumb drive or my external HD like it should?? Or any help on how to make this a bootable file would be great!!

#184

Did anyone get the HP Mini 2133 to run 9.04 UNR?

Everything seems to work fine outside of the netbook launcher. By this I mean that after an application or menu is open, everything works fine, but inside the netbook launcher, everything lags horribly...

Any suggestions?

#185

i think its because of the lack of drm/opengl working properly... the new ui api... i cant remmeber what its called now, uses opengl as a backend/ glitz or something... clutter - thats its...

i dont suppose you have drm working? or compiz or something else for that matter... working from the hardware... i can get metacity to enable composition via software.. but its horridly slow..

#186

Has anyone else experienced problems with elisa in 9.04 jaunty? It crashes shortly after starting, making the harbour-launcher UI unusable because it trys to restart elisa each time it crashes. Incidentally ubuntu's UNR launcher thing works quite well but I don't care for it and that's not the topic of this thread. I upgraded from 8.10 if that makes any difference. I even installed some missing dependencies that elisa was complaining of in the terminal.

here's the terminal output from the crash:

firefox pops up during install to make sure that the .mozilla directory and its content is createt just close it after it's loaded and the script will continue.

right now it doesn't report errors if they happen cause I'am not so familar with scripting but perhaps some one can improve this.

rightnow open office is not beeing fixed by this script and it would be nice to download the key for the elisa repository too.

I havent tested this only tryed it once and then fixed some things, so only use it if you know what you're doing.

you also need to be root to run this script or it will promt for a password.

Thanks. Though I may shy away from using your script, the individual commands may lead me to a solution to my earlier question....

#191

I also see that you frequently use:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture

Assuming I'm installing this on UNR Jaunty on a HP Mini 1000 (or Compaq Mini 700, which is equivalent), would this be necessary? Those already have a lpia architecture. Or is UNR i386 generic?

Hope you see this in teh foreseeable future

#192

if you have a lpia architecture there would be no need to force the architecture I think you can look up your architecture with

uname -a
#193

Does glassy-bleu work with 9.04? Also, I tried adding the HP sources at the beginning of this thread and got errors when doing the rebuild of the package index.

I would like to try running this theme on a non-mini but can't find it.

glassy-blue works, you can't just add the repositories because they are for lpia architecture try:

I tried the previous icon fix in my fresh Ubuntu 9.04 EXT4 installation, and after I fixed it, applied the fix, the system would freeze and if I got it to work, it would be black, pitch black, no icons and the text is hardly readable. I need a fix because this theme is by far my favorite Gnome theme, so please help.

#198

what fix are you talking about? the ooo?

#199

Yes, the openoffice fix.

#201

I have installed the Glassy Bleu theme correctly in Ubuntu on my EEE 701 netbook, and have selected it in Theme Preferences. However, whenever I reboot, the Desktop is shown with the default theme instead of the new Glassy Bleu theme. What is even stranger is that any attempt to access the Theme Preferences app results in the Glassy Bleu theme being automatically aplied again. No need to change anything (in fact the Glassy Bleu theme is still selected in Theme Preferences). Does anyone have experienced this behaviour? Any idea about how to fix it?

Thanks.

Hi i cant get the repos right i have Karmic Koala i need help

timm.mccoy said: the theme is called bleu-glass or something like that. just add these sources to your sources.list (or add them through System -> Administration -> Software Sources)

without further ado, here are the repo's you want.

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-hpmini main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-hpmini main universe multiverse restricted

let me know if that's all you need. If not I can look into it a little more, that worked fine for me (I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix, added the repositories and that was it)

I know this is quite old stuff here but still it suits my requirement. So, Is there any way to get this interface work on 1080p? also can we re-theme it?
