Installing PHP 5.3 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
In production, we use Ubuntu 9.10, because of the need of the newer kernel. Now we also need 5.3 PHP, because of Symfony, so I started searching.
I’ve found a post on JMOZ blog, about installing 5.3 PHP from dotdeb packages, but when I tried, I recieved some more errors over the one libicu38 mentioned in the post, so I decided to write them down.
The needed additional apt sources:
# for PHP 5.3 deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all # for libicu38 deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security main deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security main # for libltdl3 deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main
A usable theme for Ubuntu Desktop: Shiki
I never liked Ubuntu’s Humanity theme, New Wave theme in 9.10 crashes some applications, like F-Spot, and both are brown. Now Lucid is about to make purple (sic!) it’s default colour, so that’s not for me as well.
When I used to work with Windows XP, I used a theme named NeogenX, from a deviantart publisher, dobee, and I simply loved it. So I wanted to find something similar to that for Ubuntu.
I’ve searched throught deviantart’s customization part for this, and I’ve found nothing. Fortunatelly, I came across with Ubuntu Tweak, some kind of system management software for Ubuntu. It has a third party repository list from ppa, and there was a theme repository, named gnome-colors. Inside of it, there’s a pack, shiki-colors.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
