Re: Hp mie interface download

Great, hm1992, thank you!

I'm running it on an actual HP Mini XP Edition with dual boot (XP/Ubuntu).

The whole process, step by step

1. Download harbour-launcher_0.78.3_lpia.deb and save it to your home folder

2. Open a terminal window and type:
Quote:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture --force-depends harbour-launcher_0.78.3_lpia.deb
3. Type Alt+F2 and launch it:
Quote:
harbour-launcher
If you don't see it right away, press the show desktop icon (the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+D) or do some Alt+Tabbing.
If you want it to launch everytime you log in, go to System > Preferences > Sessions and add harbour-lancher.

4. To get the Favorite Websites thing working, install the webfav_1.0ubuntu5_all.deb package.
EDIT: It creates a heart icon on Firefox, but it apparently does nothing. Any ideas?

5. The music/photos widgets are powered by Elisa, a media center software. You can install it by typing this on a terminal:
Quote:
sudo apt-get install elisa
Or go to Synaptic-Add/Remove and search for "elisa".
It will ask you to restart your computer. (!)

6. The MIE has no top panel, just a bottom one. You can mimic Ubuntu Netbook remix's set-up (assuming you have installed UNR's packages): (source)
Quote:
go-home-applet | window-picker-applet | notification-area-applet | mixer-applet | clock
Add them from last to first. Right-click each one and click Move to arrange them.

Additional tweak

1. Install the Thunderbird theme:
http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/...me_0.5_all.deb

Does anyone else recommend extra tweaks?

Screenshot attached. Some further tweaking is still necessary, but it's almost done, I believe.
