I’ve decided to cleanly install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on my machine today.

So this is rather a note on how I get it back to work the way I love it.

(i) configure keyboard shortcuts (gnome-keybinding-properties)

Show the panel run application dialog -> Shift+Ctrl+D
Activate window menu -> Shift+Ctrl+W
Close window -> Alt+Q
Switch to workspace on the left -> Alt+,
Switch to workspace on the right -> Alt+.

(ii) set typing mode for gnome-terminal (bash)

echo -e “\nPS1=’\${debian_chroot:+(\$debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\W\$ ‘\nset -o vi \nbind -m vi-command -r ‘v’” >> .bashrc

(iii) update the repositories

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security universe main multiverse restricted

Done!!!
