CaedisSetup.sh an Ubuntu Initialization Script - Overclock.net

Caedis · 05-08-09

Designed for:

Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (can also be used after an Ubuntu version upgrade to 9.04)
Updated May 15, 2009

Here is a setup script I made a while back that I continually update so I don't have to remember what I have installed.

The script has 2 stages. The first updates your system and patches it to the latest version. After that it installs wine and a few other utils I use frequently.

More importantly it does all that without prompting the user, it's designed to be an un-attended install.

The second stage (CaedisSetup-2.sh) simply runs winetricks quietly and installs all the packages with little user involvement. This means less clicking [next] and [finish]

To use:

Download the tar.gz file to your home directory (a compressed archive with higher compression than Zip)

Go get the CaedisSetup.tar.gz
Go to command line (Accessories > Terminal)
type

Code:

tar -xvf CaedisSetup.tar.gz
sudo ./CaedisSetup-1.sh

If the script ran properly it will say:

Code:

Please run CaedisSetup-2.sh as NON-root now

so type

Code:

./CaedisSetup-2.sh

That's it!

Since you will be running one of these files as root, it could be dangerous if a third party hacked OCforums and changed the files. So for this reason I have included a .sig file which can be used with GPG to validate the tar file.
Please go to My Launchpad Account or my ClaimID account for my public key. to validate. In this way you can absolutely guarantee that the file is from me. Of course, if you don't want to do that, you can audit all the lines of code in each of the 4 files.

Forgive my ignorance, but this is to be used if your updating from like 8.04 to 9.04, for example, correct?

I personally use it in order to install all the needed apps whenever I setup a new Ubuntu computer for Friends, family, clients, or myself. Rather than having to remember what I always install and how, I simply made this script to do the heavy lifting.

It's other goal is to install all the needed components a system would need to play games properly in Ubuntu Linux.

At this time it's keyed for Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" and if your upgrading to 9.04 this would be the ideal way to quickly prep it for games.

If you havent seen it, I HIGHLY recommend you check out my thread on Linux Gaming. This script is meant to be a follow up to that thread.

And remember, ignorance is to ignore the truth. Wisdom is to ask questions, you my friend, are wise.

Updated the script with the Phoronix test suite, updated winetricks, and a few other handy apps.

Code:

Executing wine /home/faaezk/.winetrickscache/ffdshow_beta5_rev2033_20080705_clsid.exe /silent
Note: command 'wine /home/faaezk/.winetrickscache/ffdshow_beta5_rev2033_20080705_clsid.exe /silent' returned status 1.  Aborting.

I got that when going through your tutorial on gaming and running your script.

I don't know what to do now.

Probably means the file wasn't found. Is the file there?

When I run the script it eventually comes to a blue and grey screen that appears to be an EULA for Java. It says <Ok> at the bottom, but I can't click it, and pressing Enter does nothing. What did I do wrong? If nothing, what do I do next?

Hit [Tab] to get the cursor to the OK button, press enter.
