Packages made for Ubuntu by vedran (vljubovic at smartnet dot ba)

Here is a nicely organized list of packages I've made. If you wish to go directly to directory listing, it's right here. (might be a bit confusing because it contains all the development files.

Equinox Desktop Environment (EDE)

Equinox is a fast, lightweight desktop environment built around fltk. Note that it isn't just a window manager like IceWM, but much much more.

IceWM for UbuntuLite

This package will install everything needed for lightweight IceWM desktop (be sure to use apt):
ubuntulite-icewm_1.2.18-1ubuntu1_all.deb

Qingy

Qingy Is Not GettY - it's a login manager that doesn't require X, which means that it starts much faster, but you have to wait for X after logging in - or you can just login to console :) Ideal for underpowered computers.
qingy_0.6.0-1_i386.deb

Instructions to use qingy on Ubuntu (Hoary, UbuntuLite):

• Install above package and all dependencies.
• Make sure your system starts with framebuffer enabled! On Ubuntu this is usually done by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, finding your default boot option and appending vga=791, so after editing the appropriate line might look like this:
  
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/sda8 ro quiet splash vga=791
  791 means 1024x768 with 65536 colors, for a complete list you can look at Linux Framebuffer howto (don't ask me why his numbers are different...)
• Edit file /etc/inittab, you will find lines such as these:
  
  1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
  2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
  3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
  ...
  I usually set only the first console to start qingy while others are regular getty, because I'm not 100% confident in this program yet ;) To do this, edit the first of the above lines, replacing /sbin/getty with /usr/sbin/qingy (note the /usr!) and removing the speed parameter, so it looks like this:
  
  1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty1
• Remove display manager from startup sequence. You can just disable the wdm (kdm, gdm) service from all runlevels by using a command such as this:
  update-rc.d -f wdm remove
  To get it back later is simple, just type:
  update-rc.d wdm defaults 99
• Reboot computer :) (ok, technically reboot is not neccessary if you don't want to mess your uptime, but I've had problems starting it manually without a reboot)
