Installing the macbuntu 16.10 theme on ubuntu 17.04

  • 772

I just installed 17.04 and I'd like to install this: http://www.noobslab.com/2016/11/macbuntu-1610-transformation-pack-for.html

However the repositories don't work. I think there's a simple trick to adjust the repository to allow installation on Zesty instead of xenial. For example after installing the icon repository and attempting an install this happens:

ole@mkiv:~$ sudo apt-get install macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v8
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v8

Any idea how to get around this?

apt

  1. Best Answer

    As you say , you can change the PPA Distribution from zesty to yakkety

    (not xenial becuase xenial repositories has macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v7 but not macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v8 version).

    For this purpose , please follow this path:

    Software & Updates > Other software

    And then select http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/macbuntu/ubuntu and click on Edit... button.

    Then change to Distribution value from zesty to yakkety.

    So that's must be worked.

    apt-cache search macbuntu-os

  2. For those who are using Ubuntu 18.04, you should use the following code:

    sudo apt-get install macbuntu-os-ithemes-v1804
