Hi Ubuntu Server- I'm hoping there are a few people out there who are willing and interested in testing the Ubuntu screen profile contained in the new Jaunty Universe package, screen-profiles. For more information and screenshots: * http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/01/ubuntu-jaunty-testing-screen-profiles.html
I've been testing it within gnome-terminal and on tty consoles. I haven't tried it within konsole, or other terminals. I'd be keen to get some feedback on those! If you're running Jaunty, you can simply: $ sudo apt-get install screen-profiles However, this same package works just fine on Hardy and Intrepid as well. In this case, you can download the latest .deb binary build from: * http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/screen-profiles/ And install it with: $ sudo dpkg -i screen-profiles*.deb Once it's installed, you will need to select the Ubuntu screen profile with: $ select-screen-profile You should be greeted with a help window defining the hotkeys, and a menu where you can perform a few other customizations, such as toggling on/off whether screen should automatically launch on every login. I'm hoping to get a Main Inclusion Report filed this week to begin the process of including this flashy new feature on the Ubuntu server iso. We're looking for some feedback first. Please file bugs in Launchpad. If you're interested in contributing to Ubuntu server development, this project involves Shell and Python code, and is maintained in bzr at lp:screen-profiles.
