HOWTO: Turn Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) into Ubuntu Studio

[HotCocoa]

Here is my first howto. Enjoy!
Okay, this is what I did to convert my existing Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu Studio.

sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-gdm-theme ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-default-settings ubuntustudio-icon-theme ubuntustudiolauncher ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-look ubuntustudio-menu ubuntustudio-screensaver ubuntustudio-sounds ubuntustudio-wallpapers ubuntustudio-video usplash-theme-ubuntustudio ubuntustudio-theme

That should install all the Ubuntu Studio packages and their dependencies. (ubuntustudio-desktop removes ubuntu-desktop as a dependency) If you do not have the required packages they depend on, just allow apt to install them. Now for the removing of the regular Ubuntu components.

sudo apt-get remove gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks gutsy-wallpapers human-theme ubuntu-artwork ubuntu-minimal usplash-theme-ubuntu

You see? Nothing to it! Now you should be completely running Ubuntu Studio after a reboot!

I've reported this to be moved to tutorials & tips (don't worry, you shouldn't worry about getting any infraction or anything)

Will this mess up my configuaration???

This does not include the real-time kernel.

You can also see the Ubuntu Help Wiki Page for Updating from Gusty to Studio.

I tried it, and it did screw up my configuration, in grub, I now have 8 choices of OSs instead of the former 6. The first one fails to star X andt GDM, the second one is the recovery version, the third one is what I had before but with Ubuntu Studio applications the fourth one is it's recovery mode. The 4 others are Win$hit and a previous kernel version (that I never tried...). I don't want the first two showing up because the new entery's normal mode became the default option and also I do not want to clutter up GRUB with a bunch of stuff.
Talking about GRUB, for some reason it thinks that I bought my computer with not only vista preinstalled but also XP wich actuall exists is on a 10 GB partition (very wiered...)

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Look for this line:

## ## End Default Options ##

Under that you should see 8 blocks, each block is for a different kernel. If the first two are the ones causing problems, comment them by adding a # in front of them. Example:

#title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic

#root (hd0,1)
#kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic #root=UUID=79b94531-e9c2-423f-b10e-19d1f6eab496 ro
#initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
#quiet[/quote]

very strange to me, dummyhead3. When I did it it did not mess anything up.
