I have two Screens And I installed gnome shell in my fresh 11.10. but for some reason the nautilus menus for the desktop forder apears in mi secondary screen.
this never happened in my fedora 15, don't know if it is a gnome 3.2 bug or a ubuntu oineric problem
i've manage to disable it by making nautilus no handle the desktop via the gnome-tweak-tool.
The GNOME Shell redefines user interactions with the GNOME desktop. In particular, it offers new paradigms for launching applications, accessing documents, and organizing open windows in GNOME. Later, it will introduce a new applets eco-system and offer new solutions for other desktop features, such as notifications and contacts management.
I switched from Unity to Gnome 3.4 but I'd like to tweak my desktop a bit. I want to use a gnome shell theme but the gnome tweak tool won't allow me to modify the gnome shell themes. I've read somewhere that if I reinstall the gnome-shell then it would conflict with Unity and I wouldn't be able to safely use Unity anymore. Is there a way to change the theme without reinstalling the gnome-shell?
After installed gnome-shell session on Ubuntu 12.04, you may be interested to try out a few themes on your desktop, and this simple tutorial will show you how to do it.
Preparation:
Apart from ensuring you actually have gnome-shell installed, the first thing need to do is installing gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme.
Press Ctrl+Alt+T to launch terminal, and type in this
Here is the situation. Changed unity shell to gnome shell. Installed the gnome tweak tool, installed the shell extension, themes, etc...everything i normally need to do that is installed
When i go to gnome tweak tool, and click on shell extension, the right list is empty
I've surfed the web and questions for answer.
my Xorg hangs when i login to my user in gnome-classic(or shell) with desktop effects.
But when i start gnome-classic without desktop effects i can log in fine to the system
I am a average user of ubuntu
(have tried arch too but it is too much work. though arch documentation is excellent)
though gnome-classic (with effects) used to start some while ago...
When I run gnome-tweak-tool, a lot of the options are locked. In particular, I'm talking about the gnome shell theme, and the gnome shell extensions. They all have a "warning" type icon with an exclamation point next to them.
I am not logged in to a unity session, just regular "gnome".
The power of Gnome Shell lies in its extensionability. It is this power that transforms the barely unusable vanilla Gnome Shell desktop environement into a powerful and extremely usable and productive desktop environment. Gnome shell has a number of useful installations to enhance the user experience.
There’re many desktop environments that work on Ubuntu system. Sometimes panel may disappear or error load after configuration error.
