In case you haven’t yet tried Ubun-Student it has now been renamed to Ailurus and has since been updated. The update includes even more features than the earlier Ubun-Student. This is an excellent package and I can’t say enough for it – I love it.

Thanks for alerting us to it Varun

Nice post, took a few extra steps to get it done for my Jolicloud Orz

Those of you who use Jolicloud, Jolicloud uses Ubuntu 9.08 Janty (for now) so add-apt-repository won’t work. You will have to do it the old fashion way — add the PPA manually to your source.list and use apt-key to add the repository

Reminds me of TweakUI for Windows…

Thanks for a great article – but can you please update the code so it works!

* sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubun-student
* sudo apt-get update
* sudo apt-get install ubun-student

The first line should be

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubun-student

You have the add and the apt the wrong way around – hence the other 2 comments on this!

Thanks – Richard

I wound up doing the same thing after failing in my attempt to install http://code.google.com/p/apt-add/, which seems to have offered that functionality.

I could not find the ‘apt-add-repository’ command or the package that contains it; so I did got the repository added the old fashioned way as shown in https://launchpad.net/ubun-student
