In the previous article we fixed gdesklets so that it would work on a 64 bit install. However most of the better eye candy widgets in my honest opinion are screenlets.

I should have known better not to try to fix something that didn’t work with the LiveCD anyway. Nonetheless after the reinstall I wanted to use gDesklets but I couldn’t get it to run after installing it. For some reason it wouldn’t connect to the daemon.

After alot of consideration I finally have found out what to start my blog off with. I’ve been compiling a document with some tips and tricks for Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon through the past few days. Basically stuff newcomers like me would need after migrating to a totally new platform.
Although the document included isn’t exactly refined to a point of excellence. I believe it contains enough details for a person intimidated to install Ubuntu on his system to begin the process I haven’t posted the guide as it is on my blog, but I have included a link where you can access it as a pdf file. I’ll be including the guide with better images after I manage to get screen shots of the Install process while running it on Virtualbox.
You can download the guide here - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Installation - For Beginners .
