Configuration and beautification after Ubuntu installation (1)

Record it

The main interface after completion.

Configuration

1. The update source is Alibaba Cloud####

Find the Software and Update option, and the update source is the source of Alibaba Cloud.

Check Canonical Partners in Other Software.

Then update it manually:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

2. Install Sogou Pinyin Input Method####

sudo apt-get install fcitx-bin      #Install fcitx-bin
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing   #If you install fcitx-bin failed, execute repair command
sudo apt-get install fcitx-bin      #Execute after failure, reinstall fcitx-bin
sudo apt-get install fcitx-table    #Install fcitx-table

Then download the 64-bit program in Sogou input method Linux official website, unzip and move to the current directory, execute the following commands:

sudo dpkg -i sogoupinyin*.deb   #Install Sogou Pinyin
sudo apt-get install -f         #If the installation fails, execute this command to repair
sudo dpkg -i sogoupinyin*.deb   #Reinstall Sogou Pinyin

Then restart.

After restarting, we open Settings, select Region and Language, click Manage installed languages, change the keyboard input method system to fcitx, and then select Apply to the whole System.

Then find Fcitx Configure in the application, and add Sogou Pinyin to the input method.

3. Install WPS

Although ubuntu also has its own office tool, I am not used to it personally, but WPS is more comfortable.

First uninstall the built-in LibreOffice

Enter the command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get purge libreoffice?

Don't miss the wildcard "?", otherwise all LibreOffice packages cannot be cleared/uninstalled.

Install WPS

Go to WPS_Linux official website and download the deb file.

Move to the directory where you downloaded the deb and execute

sudo dpkg -i wps*.deb

If an error is reported or the installation is not successful, we perform the following to perform repair and install

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg -i wps*.deb

At this point, wps has been installed successfully. Due to Linux copyright reasons, we need to install font files to use the installed WPS. Download wps font, decompress and move to the current directory for execution

sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/WPS-Fonts   #Create a new wps font storage file
cd ~/Downloads                          #Enter the downloaded font directory
sudo apt-get install unzip              #Install zip decompression software
sudo unzip wps_symbol_fonts.zip -d /usr/share/fonts/WPS-Fonts/  #Unzip the font to the specified folder
sudo mkfontscale                        #Generate font index
sudo mkfontdir                          #Generate font index
sudo fc-cache                           #Update font cache

4. Screenshot software Shutter

sudo apt-get install shutter

Or you can search for shutter installation directly in the ubuntu software market.

But after the installation is complete, I opened the shuter and found that the edit button was grayed out, because some packages were missing.

Download the following packages:

Perform the installation:

sudo dpkg -i libgoocanvas-common*.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgoocanvas3*.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgoo-canvas-perl*deb

If the installation fails, execute:

sudo apt-get install -f

5. Video and audio

Install VLC video player

sudo apt-get install vlc browser-plugin-vlc

Install NetEase Cloud Music

Click to enter NetEase Cloud Music Linux official website, click to download 64-bit deb.

There is a bug in NetEase Cloud Music, which cannot be opened by directly clicking the application icon. There are two solutions.

(1) Open directly using the command line, but there will be a terminal running in the background. Close the terminal and the process will end.

sudo netease-cloud-music

(2) Modify the shortcut of NetEase Cloud

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/netease-cloud-music.desktop

will

Exec=netease-cloud-music %U

Exec=netease-cloud-music --no-sandbox %U

Then restarted, but after restarting, I found that the second method sometimes doesn't work. Generally, I still use the first method to run commands directly in the terminal.

6. Install Chrome

wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longhr/ubuntu1604hub/master/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

beautify###

I believe everyone is the same as me, thinking that the default theme of ubuntu is ugly, so the first thing many people install ubuntu is to change the theme for themselves, and I am no exception. I will explain the process of changing the theme below.

First install gome-tweak-tool

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

After the installation is complete, find the optimization icon in the application, click on it to set your options.

To modify the shell (and top and dock bars), we also need to install extensions

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions

After the installation is complete, there are more extensions in the gonme-tweak tool. We turn on the user themes option, and then we go to the browser to install the gnome plug-in,

Take chrome as an example, just download it directly from the app store.

Local server support

sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell

Then click on the extension and select dash to dock in the opened URL to download to the local.

We will unzip the downloaded deb file and copy it to .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/:

sudo cp -r [email protected]/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

Restart gnome, press alt + F2, and then enter r to restart.

Next, we can open dask to dock in the gnome-tweak tool and set it up.

I am using a macOS-like theme here, and I personally think it's ok. Link: macOS High Sierra theme

After downloading and decompressing the theme and icon pack, copy them to a different directory:

Subject: /usr/share/themes/
Icon: /usr/share/icons/

Then select the corresponding theme and icon pack in gnome-tweak, and we have completed the configuration of the ubuntu theme!

So far, we have completed the basic configuration and beautification of ubuntu, the installation and configuration of related knowledge such as IDE and development tools, I will write the second article when I have time.
