the theme is called bleu-glass or something like that. just add these sources to your sources.list (or add them through System -> Administration -> Software Sources)

without further ado, here are the repo's you want.

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted

let me know if that's all you need. If not I can look into it a little more, that worked fine for me (I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix, added the repositories and that was it)

Hi there,

i was also looking for this, and i am glad that something is happening

I've read on Liliputing, that there'll be an iso to download in the future, but i'm not sure if it's gonna work with the 2133 as well...

@timm: Do you think netbook remix is necessary for this to work? And you DID get UNR running on the 2133? Because people seem to have problems with it...

[timm.mccoy]

No, not really. Any Debian-based Linux distro can be used as long as it can download from the HP repo. everything is compiled as lpia (low power intel atom?) so that might cause some compatibility issues. But if you're just getting the GNOME themes and such then I'm sure it doesn't matter. just make sure that you only pick the packages you want and then DISABLE the HP repo. and don't upgrade while the HP repo is enabled. horrible things will happen (it happened to me, had to reinstall UNR).

If anyone else wants help with downloading MIE or it's interface let me know. I'm running UNR with the HP MIE background, theme, browser theme, and splash screen. It looks nice and makes it look like UNR just belongs.

EDIT:

you only need to add the second to last repository if you just want the interface. the hardy-hpmini repo has all that stuff and allows you to not have to type so much.

Looks great in the preview but fails on 64bit grrrrr

[timm.mccoy]

what do you mean? doesn't download or work on your system? I might be able to hunt around and find the individual theme files, which should be completely platform independent.

I added the repo's, but when i refresh it says they cannot be contacted. Are they down or is there some other reason they may not be working?

[timm.mccoy]

I don't know. It just worked for me. what version of ubuntu do you have and on what system are you running it?

[Veritas06]

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on an Asus eeePC. Is that the problem? Does the repo see that it's not an HP laptop?

[timm.mccoy]

It might have more to do with the fact that you're nor running Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I'll poke around my HP mini when I have some free time and see if I can just snag the interface files... or I can just download the packages and then upload them. I'll post when I do either.
