Ubuntu Satanic Edition

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.

Happy Birthday Ubuntu Satanic Edition.

It was a year ago today that the dark side of Ubuntu reared its ugly head and we’d like to thank all our users for your fantastic support.

Let’s crack open a beer and drink to many more years like this one. Thanks to Ubuntu and the entire open source community for giving us all the freedom to be better.

May we continue to reign in the blood of lesser operating systems!

To celebrate a year of Ubuntu Satanic Edition we’re releasing our biggest update yet. It includes new meta-packages for easier installation, two exclusive Gnome themes called Inhuman and Recant, a blood red icon set called Sanguine and subliminal login and logout sounds. See the screenshots.

The themes are intended to maintain the look of Ubuntu whilst giving it a dark and blood soaked edge. Our main aim was to provide usable themes which complimented our existing wallpapers.

Dark themes can pose a few issues, so be sure to checkout our dark theme tips section.

Note that the new packages are only available for Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. To upgrade, just run:

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

See our installation instructions for more details.

A few people have asked for an Ubuntu SE forum where you can discuss topics related to the distribution. Well, here it is:
