We’ve been busy in the SE foundry recently, fixing bugs and updating packages. The fruit of this labour is now available in the online repositories. The new packages are for Ubuntu jaunty 9.04 and should appear in the Update Manager automatically.

The changes include:

Kubuntu KDE 4 support

New KDM login themes
New Ksplash themes
Screensaver fixed

Ubuntu Gnome updates

New GDM login themes
New sounds theme

General updates

Updated usplash themes
Usplash bugfixes

Additional stuff

An icon theme called Buuf has also been added. It’s not paticularily satanic, but check it out:

sudo apt-get install buuf-icon-theme

There is also a new karmic repository for beta testing with the latest Ubuntu pre-release.

Important Package Changes

A few people have had problems with the way Ubuntu Satanic is packaged and some changes have been made to resolve any conflicts with other Ubuntu packages, such as UbuntuStudio.

The problems stemmed from the way the sound package was installed. We followed the way set by UbuntuStudio, where we replaced the ubuntu-sounds package with our own satanic-sounds. This replaces the login/logout WAVs with our own, meaning that no manual configuration is required.

However, the conflict with ubuntu-sounds meant that ubuntu-desktop was also removed when Ubuntu Satanic was installed. As this is only a metapackage, it should not be a problem. However, we now feel that it is best not to conflict with this package.

So, we’ve changed the satanic-sounds package (in version 666.3.1) to just install our sounds as separate files which must be selected by the user after installation.

To pickup this new change, do the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install satanic-sounds
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

See the configuration page for how to get the sounds working again.

Wallpaper Updated

Quite a few people asked for a version of the flames wallpaper without the “Satanic Edition” branding. Your wish is my command!

sudo apt-get install satanic-wallpapers

…and you should have it.
