How to install Murrine and Aurora GTK2 Engines in Ubuntu | PPA

Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in Linux tutorials

Murrine is a Gtk2 engine, written in C language, using cairo vectorial drawing library to draw widgets. It features a modern glassy look, and it is elegant and clean on the eyes. It is also extremely customizable. For Aurora Gtk Engine, it is the latest member of the clearlooks family of gtk engines. The goal of this theme is to provide a consistent and complete look for Gtk. The theme aims to be very flexible in colour choice.

Many themes for Ubuntu and Gnome are using these 2 GTK2 engines. So if a theme for example uses the latest Murrine engine, then you can not install this theme without having Murrine engine installed in your system.

 

Install Murrine engine :

To install murrine engine first download the latest version from here then After the extraction of the file, go in the source dir and compile as following:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation 
$ make

#sudo make install

Install Aurora GTK2 engine :

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

You can friend someone if you give him your public Certificate.

both peers must friend each other.

i suggest to not enter a valid e-mail address. it is not necessary, but pgp needs a mail addy. something@something.so fits perfectly… :)

please have a look at this link. it is a FAQ, QuickTip, HowTo, etc etc etc …

If you want to make friends, please use the Chatservers.
#1 https://www.f2f-fr.net/w2c/en/
#2 http://retrosharechatserver.no-ip.org/w2c/en/

if you enter your certificate, the chatserver adds you as his friend and shows his certificate too add him to your friends.

After the connection to the chatservers is established, you can join a few chatrooms where the chatserver is lurking.

in this rooms are other people too help you and make first friends and get into the network.

add friends only with wisdom. if you friend some policeman, it will be problematic like in real life.

best is to add only people you trust in real life or trust from other communitys too. and not to add random unkown strangers.

If you have questions, ask them in the chatlobbys, there is always someone to answer them.

please read http://redd.it/18vsq5

or question me here :)
