安装Ubuntu13.10 - Saucy Salamander(活泼的蝾螈)后的首要事情
将于10月17日发布的Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander,有着许多新的显着特点,较大的更新及明显的性能改进。这篇简短的操作手册(how-to)将会讨论在日常的使用中怎么样进一步提升Ubuntu 13.10的性能。
如果你已经装有Ubuntu以前的版本,想升级到最新的13.10的话,请参照着我们的指南一步一步操作。升级到Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander。
首先,在全新安装Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy后,第一步就是检查如下的几件事情。
A. 它能正常的跑起来吗,如果不能,查看我们以前发表的文章来解决相应的问题。
B. wifi连接速度是否正常,如果太慢,查看我们以前发表的文章来解决相应的问题。
1. 更新系统
安装完Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy后,首要的事情就是更新或升级软件源库,确保你的系统中的所有软件都能更新到最新版本。
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
2. 安装Ubuntu Tweak软件
在Ubuntu系统或它的衍生发行版系统上,Ubuntu Tweak是必须有的。它是一个应用程序,使用它,任何人都能很容易的配置Ubuntu系统。它提供了很多有用的桌面和系统选项,这些都是默认的桌面环境没有提供的。使用Ubuntu Tweak,只需要一个简单的点击,就可以安装所有需要的应用程序,还可以改变默认的从左到右的窗口按钮排列方式等等……。
通过PPA安装Ubuntu Tweak
注意: 稳定的 Ubuntu-Tweak PPA还没有准备好,但有一个来源于讨论组并可用的PPA可以安装Ubutun-Tweak。
打开终端,输入如下命令:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/next
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
这篇文章里提到的大部分应用程序,都可以在Ubuntu Tweak中心找到,并且通过点击就可安装。
如果你想学习怎么样使用Ubuntu Tweak,请阅读我们以前的帖子文章。
3. 桌面环境
不喜欢Ubuntu 13.10默认的Unity,为什么不试试Cinnamon或者Gnome呢?
Cinnamon是GNOME 3的一个分支,它提供了一个有经典菜单的底部面板,这对于想使用经典底部菜单的Ubuntu用户来说相当有用。Ubuntu 13.10的默认源库里已经提供了Cinnamon,因此输入下面的命令就能安装。
sudo apt-get install cinnamon(译者注:原文缺失?!)
如果你想安装最新版本的cinnamon,就增加如下步骤:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon
注销当前登陆会话,然后在登陆提示窗口选择Cinnamon作为桌面会话。现在就可以进入Cinnamon的桌面环境。
警告: 最新版本的Cinnamon会破坏原来的Unity,这在Ubuntu 13.04版本和13.10版本上都发现了同样的问题。希望在 Ubuntu 13.10稳定版本发布前会修复这个bug。欲了解更多信息,请参阅此链接。
在Ubuntu 13.10上安装GNOME 3
要在Ubuntu 13.10上安装GNOME 3,输入如下命令:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
在安装期间,安装程序会让你选择登陆显示管理器(LightDM是Unity桌面默认的标准,GDM是GNOME桌面默认的标准,任一个都可以)。
4. 账户配置
配置UbuntuOne账户
UbuntuOne让用户在线存储文件,然后在电脑和移动设备之间同步,也可以从云端获取音频和音乐到移动设备。如果你已经有一个帐号,你需要在顶部登陆,然后在您的电脑上设置一个文件夹,并开始同步你的数据,通讯录,照片等。
你也可以从左为的unity启动器里运行UbuntuOne:
配置网上帐户
你需要做的首要事情之一就是设置你的网上帐户(Facebook,twitter……)。要做到这一点,直接点击右上角齿轮形状的按钮,并选择系统设置。
然后选择网上帐户(如下所示)。
现在设置您的网上帐户,并在Ubuntu可以得到通知。
5. 系统监控和外观糖果工具##
为Ubuntu 13.10安装Conky工具
**[Conky] 8**是一款免费的,轻量级的X窗口系统监控软件,能在您的桌面上显示任何的信息。有许多漂亮的主题可以选择,用来显示时钟、CPU使用率、内存使用率、交换空间信息,磁盘信息、网络信息或更多的系统信息。查看我们以前发表的关于在Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10,13.04或Ubuntu 13.10环境中安装及配置conky的相关文章。
不喜欢默认的图标,想尝试一些很酷的图标?
试试下面很酷的图标集。
需要更改默认的图标,以符合您的口味?查看这个漂亮的Ubuntu的图标集 (包含PPA)。
6. 多媒体软件选择
- 播放器
1-VLC 媒体播放器:
在Linux平台上VLC是最好的媒体播放器,它几乎能播放所有的媒体文件,而且还具有其它多媒体播放器所没有的特性。如果你想知道VLC有些什么功能,请读读这篇文章:VLC媒体播放器能做的25件事!
通过Ubuntu软件中心或者在终端中使用下面的命令就能安装VLC:
sudo apt-get install vlc
或者使用下面的PPA来安装最新的2.1.1版本。
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
2- XMBC:
**XBMC**是一个屡获殊荣的免费和开源(GPL)媒体播放器软件及数字媒体娱乐中心。XBMC可以运行在Linux、OSX、windows及原来的Xbox平台上。XBMC做为一个标准的计算机媒体播放器应用程序,功能十分强大,它已经被设计为您的HTPC的最佳伴侣。因为它支持几乎是无限的远程控制,并配有漂亮的界面和强大的皮肤引擎,坐在沙发上操作非常舒适,所以XBMC是您的家庭影院的理想解决方案。
打开终端,拷贝下面的命令执行:
sudo apt-get install xbmc
- 视频编辑
Openshot视频编辑器:
我喜欢的视频编辑器是Openshot,Linux平台专用的最好软件。可以直接从Ubuntu软件中心进行安装,但想安装最新发行版本的话,你得把下面的源库添加上:
注释: 在写这篇文章的时候,13.10版本下,PPA还不可用。希望不久就会更新可用。
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc

7. 安装常用编解码器以便能播放DVD
也许安装几个常见的编解码器,可能会提升您的系统的可用性:

要播放加密的DVD,libdvdcss 2包是必不可少的。libdvdcss是一个简单的,专门设计来访问DVD的库,就像访问块设备一样轻松,而不用考虑是否需要解密。
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/./install-css.sh
8. 让浏览器支持Flash
在32位或64位的Ubuntu系统上: 为了能用浏览器(Firefox/Chrome)观看视频及浏览flash网站,你需要安装flash插件。打开Ubuntu软件中心搜索"flash",然后安装。
另外也可以输入下面的命令来安装flash插件。
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
9. BT软件
uTorrent:
uTorrent是一款轻量级和高效能的BT客户端软件,它可以运行在Linux系统、windows系统和Mac系统上。uTorrent在Linux系统上的安装与在windows系统和Max系统上安装大不相同。在Linux中,uTorrent是做为网页服务端(web server)来运行的,但你可以在浏览器中访问。为了能在浏览器上访问,你应该先开启他的服务。
查看我们以前的文章来了解更多的uTorrent信息。

Deluge:
