#Rapidsvn standard editor update
These repos update the included versions of Gimp, VLC and some Gnome3 related tools (I don’t use Gnome 3 as such as I have made peace with Unity over the years and find it quite workable these days and don’t have the time to play around too much). Since Ubuntu repos sometimes have quite old version of some popular projects I tend to use some PPA’s to get the latest stable versions.
If you want to go the next step you might look ad installing a more lightweight flavour of Ubuntu (such as Xubuntu). I very much prefer speed over useless eye-candy. Even on fast machinery it adds to speeding up the overall experience and reduce waste. The main reason for installing ‘compizconfig-settings-manager’ is that I like to disable animations.

Note: At the time of writing this () it is necessary to edit /etc/apt//virtualbox.list and edit the first replacing ‘trusty’ with the ‘saucy’ repo as Oracle has not yet (and usually is very slow) updated their repo.

NOTE: Since Chromium Flash plugin support is broken in 14.04 (due to Chromium killing Netscape Plugin API) you need to run the Pepper Flash install script to allow flash to play in Chromium.

This is a very personal & subjective list based on what I need all the time. Unfortunately some things are still not included (such as the boot-repair tools not being part of the standard repos).įortunately it’s relatively easy to fix most of these things. There are some nice enhancements and most importantly for me the 3.13 Kernel means finally Wacom Touch devices are supported without kernel mods. This realease being a LTS (long-term support) release means it is a fairly conservative release. This gives me the time to install earlier than I normally have time for. Excellent coincidence that the release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) fell into the Easter holidays.
