How would I install a GDM theme?

Hey guys, Newbie question here, how would i install a GDM login theme? such as this one...
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … ent=116213
I Looked into the Arch wiki, and tried googling it and installing this software from the AUR called gdm2setup, but no help!
Please help, i wish to have a cool login screen

I use a similar log in theme, Arch Linux Simply Black.

I use gdm-old and archlinux-themes-gdm from the AUR.
These make it easy to change via GUI,  login window preferences, local tab.
Check out the links.

  • How to install a GDM theme manually?

    Hi. My screen res is very small, and most menus for me are larger than the screen, so most things I have to configure manually. It gets irritating. How do you install a GDM theme manually?

    just copy the theme directory (mostly the dir inside the tar.gz) to /usr/share/gdm/themes/

  • How would one install OS X without OS X?

    Hello there,
    I was given a Unibody 13'' Macbook Pro from 2008 the other day from a friend. The hard drive failed and he got a newer model. I plan on purchasing a hard drive for it and use it myself, would become my college laptop. My question is, how would I install OS X on it? All the forums I've search imply that one already has OS X and what not. I was hoping to buy the Snow Leopard DVD and upgrade to Mavericks, or if possible head straight to Mavericks. Whatever seems best I'm looking for some help. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I have replaced, swopped out, 'refreshed' a number of old mac hard drives...by:
    buying new SDD for example, plugging this into a sata usb dock, plugging this to another mac.
    Going to my purchases in App store and downloading Mavericks, as soon as it has downloaded do not update, quit the installer, plug in your new drive, format if necessary, go to your applications folder and click on the Mavericks installer, with another drive plugged in  you will get an option to install Mavericks on that drive.
    Select your new drive, install, can take a long time as it is ruining via usb.
    Once installed, you will be running from your new drive. Follow all the instructions.
    Shutdown, unplug and fit new drive to the old mac.
    If all is well the old mac will boot from the new drive.

  • I have 20kb of damaged files on my old hard drive. Are they worth keeping, and if so, how would I go about repairing them?

    I got rid of my old iMac G5 computer which ran on Tiger, but not before I retained the hard drive, which was installed into a 'caddy'.
    There is a folder containing 20kb of damaged files. I wondered whether they were worth keeping, and if so, how do I go about repairing them?

    Hello Sapper,
    Mostly they're garbage, text files would likely be the only "recoverable" ones, but...

    How would I go about installing Windows 7 on an iMac lacking a CD slot?
    This might be quite obvious...but I have been searching the internet to no avail for an hour now, so I would appreciate help from all you kind folks in the Apple community.
    Thanks in advance!

    You can install Windows starting from a thumb drive with Windows 7 (you can create it on Boot Camp Assistant if you have the .iso of Windows) or buy the USB SuperDrive

  • How would i install and configure HS on windows?

    Hello,
    I would like to explore more about installing and configuring HS on windows box (64-bit).
    I have two questions.
    1)Is there OD4ODBC software avaliable for 64-bit windows? if not 32 - bit software works with 64-bit windows OS and 11G Database which is also 64-bit?
    2)can some provide me more steps to configure it, if it's possible.
    3) is there any other way to connect ro MS SqlServer from Oracle other than using ODBC/Gateways?
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    For 64bit Windows you need to have a 64bit DG4ODBC - DG4ODBC 64bit for Windows was first released with 11.2.
    1)Is there OD4ODBC software avaliable for 64-bit windows? if not 32 - bit software works with 64-bit windows OS and 11G Database which is also 64-bit?
    => No - only 64bit DG4ODBC is supported - so please use DG4ODBC 11.2
    2)can some provide me more steps to configure it, if it's possible.
    Please have a look at this note: How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on 64bit Windows Operating Systems to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install          [Document 1266572.1]     
    which is available through My Oracle Support portal.
    3) is there any other way to connect ro MS SqlServer from Oracle other than using ODBC/Gateways? The easiest way is a gateway, but you could use a JDBC driver and load the MS SQL Server JDBC driver into the JVM of the Oracle database, then code the connection.

  • How would I install an old hard drive???

    OK Folks,
    Heres the project at hand
    I would like to utilize my Hard Drive from my old 350 Mhz G3 (Blue and White)... 6 GB Ultra ATA/33 hard drive....
    by installing it into my 467 Mhz G4 (Graphite) Power Mac....
    Would anyone have a tutorial or some guidance about executing such an operation?
    Many Thanks

    It can be done. Your Mac is backward-compatible with that drive.
    If you can install a memory upgrade without trashing your computer or injuring yourself, you can do it yourself. It will require a #2 Phillips screwdriver. An illustrated article describing many possibilities is here:
    HT1815- Power Mac G4: Installing Internal Storage Devices
    I see you have another post on this topic. You appear to me to have two distinct problems:
    • Your mac will not power on, and the date has recently been going wacky.
    This is most often caused by a dead PRAM battery. Remove the added Hard Drive and debug that problem first. Try the PRAM Reset. Use the procedure described -- press and hold the tiny button for a quarter minute, then wait at least five seconds before attempting a restart. Avoid momentary presses, they can wreak havoc. If not successful the first time, try it again a few more times. Plan on buying a new battery soon.
    • If you want to use that drive in the long run, you will need to install it on the cable with the other Hard Drive. It will not behave properly on the CD drive cable. You will need to set its straps to not interfere with the other Hard Drive. But fix your startup problem first.

  • How do I install a JAD & associated JAR file on a ...

    Hi all,
    I have a Nokia 6288 which I would like to install a signed application in the form of a signed JAD and accompanying JAR file.
    I need the JAD because it is a signed application, and I need the phone to recognise this because the application accesses user data from the memory card.
    I have tried:
    1. Using PC Suite. It does not recognise JAD files.
    2. Copying the signed JAD & the JAR file onto my memory card. The phone does not recognise JAD files. I can use the JAR file fine but it isn't fully functional.
    3. Installing the JAD file from a WAP service by pointing my phones web browser directly to the JAD file online. It downloads and installs, but again, fails to be fully functional.
    So at the moment I am stuck as although I can install the JAR by itself, the application is then not signed, and will not work because it cannot access the memory card.
    Basically, how would I install a signed application (JAD & JAR) onto my Series 40 handset?

    Since my last post I have been discussing this issue with commercial application developers and have been experimenting with various applications.
    Firstly, let's make the JAR/JAD situation absolutely clear. Some, but not all, applications unquestionably require the JAD file as a part of the installation process. If the application is a "signed" application then the security authorisation is contained within the JAD file, not the JAR file. The JAD file is created from the JAR file and contains security verification information that is separate from the JAR file and which enables the application to signed as kosher.
    The Nokia PC Suite Application Installer does not need to show you the JAD file. The JAR file is sufficient. If you install the application from a folder on your PC that contains both the matching JAR and JAD files then Application Installer will correctly install the application from both the JAR and JAD files. If the folder ONLY contains the JAR file then it will only install from the JAR file. I have proved this.
    So, if you cannot get the application to work then the reason is not the installation process. The reason is far more likely to be that you are trying to install the application on a branded handset rather than on a standard Nokia handset. Some service providers heavily modify the base standard software that Nokia installs on its vanilla handsets and these modifications may well include changes to security authorisation rules that will prevent many applications working on handsets that they sell.
    I am in dispute with one such as we speak. I will not name them right now but if I am unable to achieve a satisfactory outcome then be assured I will let EVERYONE know. Thank God for YouTube.
