This will probably be better in the final version, however in the mean time you can try booting in generic mode (follow steps 1-6 under "Rebuilding the Base Image on the http://ubermix.org/customization.html page), open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) and type:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

When complete, reboot and see if the situation has improved.

Just realized I missed a step. After the added line above, do the following (from a terminal window):

sudo gedit /usr/share/pam-configs/my_groups

copy and paste from below and save the file:

Code: [Select]

Name: activate /etc/security/group.conf
Default: yes
Priority: 900
Auth-Type: Primary
Auth:
        required        pam_group.so use_first_pass
sudo pam-auth-update

Sorry, too many assumptions in my response. Probably the easiest way for you to edit a system file would be to open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) and type:

sudo gedit /etc/security/group.conf

Edit /etc/security/group.conf and add the following line at the end:

*;*;*;Al0000-2400;adm,cdrom,floppy,sudo,audio,dip,video,plugdev,bluetooth,scanner,lpadmin,netdev,sambashare

Then all users will automagically be members of the listed local groups on login.

Try the terminal command from a few entries ago first, and if you still see an error, then yes, I would reinstall using option 1 (ie do not install simple updates). Then unset auto login in system settings and install centrify.

Seems like you might have installed the simple updates, which makes that tool invisible. Open a terminal and 'sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/applications/gnome-user-accounts-panel.desktop' then look for 'User Accounts' in System Settings

OK, go to System Settings:User Accounts or, if you don't see that, open a terminal and type 'gnome-control-center user-accounts'. Turn off Automatic Login there and see if it works better.

There is an invisible file in the home folder that sets the tuxpaint window size to a fixed value, so that paintings are all the same size. You can undo this by opening the home folder, then go to "Edit:Preferences" and check "Show hidden files". Then double-click ".tuxpaintrc" and delete the "windowsize" line.

You can just type 'id user' at a terminal prompt to see which groups they are in. "audio" and "video" are the groups you want to add other users to.

How-to / Re: Launch Screen Customization

« on: May 04, 2014, 11:24:54 AM »

The desktop is easy to set. Simply open any image and choose "Set as desktop background" from the Image menu in the viewer. The rest of the color scheme is a bit more tricky. There are a few themes in System Settings:Appearance to choose from. You can also search for "ubuntu 12.04 themes" to find others you can install. Customizing them can be a bit painful - the files are all plain text and in /usr/share/themes. They are mostly web css files, so if you have skills there, they might be worth playing with.

It works, but is presently only a 32 bit application, so you'll need to install a few 32bit libraries to get it going. Open a terminal and 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libasound2:i386 libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 libxt6:i386 libncurses5:i386 sox:i386' . All should be well after that.

You'll need to remove the autologin entries from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf . Can do by opening a terminal and 'sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf'

Hmm. Nothing different on our end. Bad install perhaps?

They are pretty sluggish, but the fix will help. Necessary on all versions as it sets up xorg.conf to use a more proper driver.
