Convert Ubuntu 13.04 to Mac theme error

  • 772

I'm following this tutorial and also this YouTube tutorial.

On executing this command:

sudo apt-get install mac-os-lion-theme mac-os-lion-cursors mac-os-lion-icons

I'm getting this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree        
Reading state information... Done 
E: Unable to locate package mac-os-lion-theme 
E: Unable to locate package mac-os-lion-cursors 
E: Unable to locate package mac-os-lion-icons

Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

  1. I had the same error but solved it by substituting the following: 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mac-icons-noobslab
sudo apt-get install mac-ithemes-noobslab

    for the Cursors, use:

    wget -O mac-cursors.zip http://ubuntuone.com/05qtKEgDaFQ1V1TzNvoub5
sudo unzip mac-cursors.zip -d /usr/share/icons/ && rm mac-cursors.zip
cd /usr/share/icons/mac-cursors
sudo chmod +x install-mac-cursors.sh uninstall-mac-cursors.sh
./install-mac-cursors.sh

    In fact they look better than our old method. for further details: TechyGiene.com

  2. Did the repository get added? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes needs a sudo apt-get update first - you can't forget that. You can verify that the repository was added with ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d, which will show all of the non-standard repositories available.
