Problems customizing Ubuntu Server 12.10

[tech291083]

Hi,

After having installed Ubuntu Server 12.10 64-bit on my desktop pc, I tried to customize the system to my liking using this guide at

http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/impo...-do-after.html

1. I tried to do item no 10 ie putting my username on the space next to Shutdown (gear like icon to the far right, next to time) icon but I do not see that happen. This is what I did as root in a terminal

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session show-real-name-on-panel true

2. Item no 21 ie Move Minimize, Maximize, Close Buttons to Right:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close

Also tried to install Adobe Reader using the instructions give here at

But failed to do so.

 
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acroread

Please help me guys, thanks a lot.
