We have made a few changes to PinGuy's efforts toward this project but our own Peach Builder would not have been possible without his important work on this application. Also I would like to give special recognition to Charlie Henson for allowing us to use his fabulous photos for our wallpapers. Mr. Henson's photography is nothing short of amazing. Keyring Password If you are ever in any Peach distro and you are asked for a keyring password simply enter - peachuser - to gain access to the Login2 keyring. Basic Help If you ever see the "Software Updater" notification in the Top Panel (Panel 0) above (just to the right of "Applications - Files") it means that you have updates available for your computer. Menus First and foremost when you need to edit a system setting - Click on the system settings icon on the dock on the bottom or from the "Applications" pull down menu. Suggestion In order to keep your Peach operating system functioning at its absolute utmost be sure to utilize the "janitor" feature in Ubuntu Tweak. This is especially true after completing updates or adding software to your Peach distro. The janitor function in the Ubuntu Tweak application will remove "cruft" and installation files no longer needed for the system following updates and new application installation. The janitor feature will also enable you to remove older Linux kernels as new kernels are installed freeing up space on your hard drive. Changing Wallpaper Changing your wallpaper is very easy in Peach OSI. Simply load an image or images into your "pictures" folder, ("Files" at the top of the page and then click on your username, then on the "pictures" folder) Simply right click on that image and in the pop-up menu that follows click on "Set Image as Wallpaper." If you want to add several images as your wallpaper upload those images to your "pictures" folder, (same procedure as above), then right click anywhere on a blank area of your screen, then click on "Desktop Settings". Next to where you see "Folder" in the open screen click on the block next to "Folder", then select "Other", click on your username", then click once on the "Pictures" folder highlighting it, (do not open it) then click on "Open" to open all the images in the folder. The desktop settings program will next populate "Desktop Settings" with all of your images. You can then set your images to change your background wallpaper however you desire (By the minute, by the hour, or random). If you ever want to return to Peach OSI's default background wallpaper, it is located in the /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/ folder. Simply follow the steps above and select the "backdrops" folder. Known Issue with Asus Netbook eeePc's With Ubuntu 16.04 there is a known issue where sound does not work. We have performed a work around by authenticating the HDA eeePC sound card at bootup. This work around does work but at bootup the sound is automatically placed into mute. All you have to do is to click on the speaker icon on the top right and undo the mute function and then raise the volume level to what you prefer. Here is the solution that we deployed:Here is the permanent solution, using amixer, a command-line tool similar to Alsamixer:1. created a text file:sudo mousepad2. copy-paste these two lines into it:/usr/bin/amixer -c 0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Playback Volume' 100%/usr/bin/amixer -c 0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Playback Switch' 1+ toggle I used:/usr/bin/amixer -c 0 sset Headphone playback 100%/usr/bin/amixer -c 0 sset Headphone unmute3. save it as /usr/bin/amixer_script.sh4. make it executable with sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/amixer_script.sh5. open System->Control Center->Startup Applications6. add your script as a start-up application or to set startrup -line as follows: xterm -e /usr/bin/amixer_script.shNow every time you boot up you will have sound.If it doesn't work, play around with instruction n° 2:-c 1 instead of -c 0 for the second sound cardman amixer to see all options.Instructions: Sited from:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedurehttps://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/alsa-daily/+packageshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMShttps://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2279687https://askubuntu.com/questions/193131/how-to-debug-lack-of-sound-in-asus-eee-pc No Backgrounds after the initial install (especially in a VM or a near square style monitor) Sometimes after the initial Peach installation the backgrounds fail to load if you have an older nearly square style monitor. The wallpaper used is in a more rectangular shape and at first the system my opt not to display a background at all rather than distort the background image. If this is the case for you simply right click anywhere in an unoccupied area of your desktop and select "Desktop Settings." Once the desktop settings application opens click on any of the available images and then - if desired - tick the "Change the background" box and set the numberof minutes for the backgrounds to change. Please note: Different Peach OSI versions have different wallpapers and quantity of wallpapers). Most all of our wallpapers are courtesy of Charlie Henson and available on Creative Commons. Having trouble with your Wi-Fi? If you can connect your PC to a wired Ethernet connection or if you have another computer that you can gain web access go the following site:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowToHere is a list of some web pages that I've found to be useful while setting up some Wi-Fi cards.Wi-Fi How tohttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTohttps://askubuntu.com/questions/87519/how-to-make-my-dell-1390-wlan-minicard-workhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapperhttps://www.dogpile.com/search/web?fcoid=417&fcop=topnav&fpid=2&q=ubuntu+install+Dell+wireless+1395+wlan+mini-card&ql=https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=978622https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=960628https://commweb-ps3.us.dell.com/support-forums/network-internet-wireless/f/3324/t/19508294.aspxPlease note that before you can search the web or hope to correct your issue - you need to first determine what your Wi-Fi card is. To find out what Wi-Fi card is installed in your PC type CTRL-Alt-T simultaneously to pull up the terminal screen. Then while Peach OSI and in terminal (Ctrl-ALT-T) type "lspci -vvnn", without the quotes. This should give you a list of all the hardware on your PC. Scan up or down the list looking for any reference to an item of hardware named wireless, wanlo, Wi-Fi or any other term that could determine your Wi-Fi hardware. Once you find your Wi-Fi card, write down all the info pertaining to your Wi-Fi card. Then you can search the web for that particular card and any fixes that other users of that card have deployed in order to get your card working in Peach OSI. If all of this fails feel free to contact me at www.peachosi.com and I'll try to help you get your Wi-Fi going. I will still need to know the make and model of your PC and the name of the Wi-Fi card and its model number I can help you. Starting a DVD: Peach OSI has been setup to automatically open the Parole media player when you insert a Movie DVD.Then next hit enter and then enter your password and enter. After the command finishes running start over by reinserting your Video DVD and follow the rest of the instructions below. The instructions give your system a wider support for the playing of DVD movies. Restricted Extras is needed and is pre-installed for playing restricted or encrypted DVD's or CD's For the playing of more different kinds of video (especially encrypted DVD's and CD's) and music files on Peach OSI you will need to open the Synaptics Software Center and search and install "Xubuntu Restricted Extras". This will install commonly used applications with restricted copyright (mp3, avi, mpeg, TrueType, Java, Flash), that we could not pre-install for you due to you needing to agree to the terms of the installation. More about playing CD's and DVD's can be found here: https://docs.xubuntu.org/1304/media-apps.html Already installed is the libdvd-pkg package (there is no need to add third party repositories) via Synaptic or command line: The Code we used to install the libdvd-pkg package: sudo apt-get install libdvd-pkg We Followed the libdvd-pkg's instructions to let it download, compile, and install libdvdcss. This package automates the process of launching downloads of the source │ files for libdvdcss2 from videolan.org, compiling them, and installing │ the binary packages (libdvdcss2 libdvdcss-dev). │ │ Please run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg" to launch this process for │ the first time.
