10 Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu 13.10
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
**Ubuntu 13.10 is out, you’ve upgraded, and you’re wondering what to do now. Don’t fret – here are 10 things to do after installing Ubuntu 13.10.**
|
||
|
||
We put together a post-install checklist for every release of Ubuntu, but as new features arrive and improvements are made, the steps we suggest change and alter.
|
||
|
||
So what are the best things to do after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10?
|
||
|
||
### 1. Get Up To Speed ###
|
||
|
||
While Ubuntu 13.10 packs in fewer user-facing features than previous releases the effect of the new Smart Scopes Service is hard to miss.
|
||
|
||
### 2. Enable Additional Drivers ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ubuntu supports a vast array of hardware right out of the box. But while the free, open-source drivers that make this possible are increasingly capable you may find that performance less that ideal for playing games on Steam or streaming HD video.
|
||
|
||
If so you may want to **install and enable any proprietary drivers** listed in the Software & Updates tool.
|
||
|
||
Open the Software Sources app via the Dash (or through System Settings) then click through to the ’Additional Drivers’ tab and follow the on-screen prompts.
|
||
|
||
### 3. Install Media Codecs in Ubuntu ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Due to a big tangle of legal issues Ubuntu is unable to play many popular audio and video formats ‘out of the box’. It’s an inconvenience born of necessity.
|
||
|
||
But installing what’s needed is only a couple of clicks away. During installation you can tick the ’*Enable Restricted Formats*’ box to have the required codecs pulled in, or – if you forgot to do that – you can install everything needed to get media working from the Ubuntu Software Centre.

|
||
|
||
### 4. Set Up Your Social Life ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Facebook, Twitter, Google Talk, Gmail and a heap more social accounts can be set up in one go using the *Online Accounts* hub.
|
||
|
||
Just add an network then **decide which applications can use it**. For example, stop Empathy firing up Google Chat by default, and filter our Facebook from the Social Lens.
|
||
|
||
Services supported include Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, Facebook (including Facebook Chat), Flickr, and a growing number of others.
|
||
|
||
### 5. Add Additional Apps ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ubuntu offers a lot of neat apps by default but one size doesn’t fit all. If you don’t like a certain app, or find yourself missing something else, you can easily add more software.
|
||
|
||
Fire up the Ubuntu Software Centre to browse thousands of free applications, including popular choices like:
|
||
|
||
- **Dropbox** - Popular, cross-platform cloud storage service
|
||
- **Steam** – Game distribution platform
|
||
- **GIMP** – Advanced image editor
|
||
- **VLC** – Popular media player
|
||
|
||
You’ll also find a wealth of additional software listed on sites like ours – check out our Apps tag for some ideas.

||

||
|
||
### 6. Protect Your Privacy ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Privacy is a hot-potato these days, so it’s great to see that the latest release of Ubuntu improves its Privacy offerings with a new look and a handful of extra options.
|
||
|
||
Whether you want to hide a folder or app from appearing in the Dash, restrict access to your computer after waking up, or choose what data about system crashes is sent back to Canonical, the Privacy & Security pane is where you’ll find all the tools you need.
|
||
|
||
### 7. Embrace The Web ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Canonical are enticing web devs with word that websites can be easily packaged, integrated and made available for install on Ubuntu Touch.
|
||
|
||
The genesis of this approach has been included on desktop Ubuntu for a few releases. Over 30 popular websites – including Gmail, Yahoo! & Rd.io - can seamlessly integrate with parts of the desktop.
|
||
|
||
For example, add GMail and you get fancy Gmail options in the Launcher and Messaging Menu; enable Rd.io and you’ll be able to control playback using the Sound Menu.
|
||
|
||
### 8. Make Unity Yours ###
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Unity is more customisable than people think. *Unity Tweak Tool* is a third-party app that lets you adjust the Unity desktop experience to suit you.
|
||
|
||
Options include:
|
||
|
||
- Adjust launcher transparency
|
||
- Set launcher icon animations
|
||
- Enable workspaces
|
||
- Configure shortcuts
|
||
- Move window controls
|
||
|
||
And no, before you wonder, it won’t let you move the launcher.

||

|
||
|
||
### 9. Filter The Noise ###
|
||
|
||
Ubuntu’s new ‘Smart Scopes’ service promises to be a handy tool, but at present it’s just not as smart as it claims.
|
||
|
||
The good news is that feature can be switched off with a click, so there’s no need to avoid using Ubuntu altogether.
|
||
|
||
If you find yourself facing a wall of obscure music results or obtuse shopping suggestions every time you search for something unrelated you can disable each offending scope individually.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you find yourself flooded with irrelevant music results for every search disable the music scopes. Don’t want Amazon suggestions? Switch Amazon off.
|
||
|
||
### 10. Spread The Word about Ubuntu 13.10 ###
|
||
|
||
This item on our to-do list is cringe-worthy, I know. But the only way people are going to try out Ubuntu 13.10 is if they know about it – so do your bit and share news of it.
|
||
|
||
Whether you just post this post to Facebook, or make a LiveUSB for your OS X-loving partner, you’ll be helping raise awareness of Ubuntu.
|
||
|
||
Don’t forget to enjoy using it, too. Go check your Facebook profile, listen to some music, and do a bit of surfing in Firefox.
