Grub Customzer in Ubuntu 12.04

[coljohnhannibalsmith]

Hello,

I'm already having many problems with 12.04.

*I can't find the command line. Whatever happened to "sudo apt-get install xxxx."

*I can't change the text size in Grub, which is way too small for my HD screen.

*I can't get desktop cube to work. I installed Compiz-Config-Settings-Mananger.

*I also want to use a tool called Grub Customizer, or Grub Configurator which will allow me to add a splash screen to grub and change the text color. I really want to use this tool because I have some rad splash screens I want to use.

*Also, how do I show the desktop icons?

Please Help, Hannibal

Ctrl+Alt+T opens the terminal.


*I can't change the text size in Grub, which is way too small for my HD screen.



gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Look for and uncomment GRUB_GFXMODE

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480



*I can't get desktop cube to work. I installed Compiz-Config-Settings-Mananger.
Did you enable the plugin?

*I also want to use a tool called Grub Customizer, or Grub Configurator which will allow me to add a splash screen to grub and change the text color. I really want to use this tool because I have some rad splash screens I want to use.
PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

*Also, how do I show the desktop icons?

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
Log out and back in

Thanks for the help.

*How do I get the menus back and select applications by menu?

*Is there an Ubuntu Classic feature in 12.04?

Thanks Hannibal

Thanks Oldfred that worked for Gnome Classic.

Can you tell me how to get the Desktop Cube to work?

I also keep losing the upper or lower panel. I was working on workspace preferences when this happened.

Thanks Hannibal

Never used the cube nor saved any links on that.

Bump on Desktop Cube.
